[QUOTE="t3chg33k, post: 2222894, member: 20884"] Yes, it varies significantly by the model. 144 Hz display like that on the Helios 300 (since it is mentioned here) has 72% NTSC and 90% sRGB. Note that these displays don't even meet the normal colour gamut. Even standalone 144 Hz monitors from Dell with true 8-bit panels barely make it to 108% sRGB. I know that in their gaming laptops (GL or GF series) MSI kind of fooled consumers by listing "close to 100% sRGB" as a spec and only included it in the 60 Hz panel and a really poor panel (45% NTSC) in their 144 Hz variant. Their Creator series goes up to 100% DCI-P3 for the most expensive models, so probably those would be better. Thing is most gaming laptops with high refresh screen will not be great for editing, so there is a compromise to be made in terms of cost and features at this price range. Hence, I think the Helios 300 might still be okay for occasional Photoshop work but not for something that you would publish as colour-accurate on the web. But then it is a great budget gaming laptop, so if gaming is going to be done more often than editing, then go for it. [/QUOTE]
