    Are both the 15 and 17 nitros high in gamut and nits?

    They have a nice CPU, shame they could only put a 960m in it.

    But mostly I want something with a good screen.

    Im not an acer fan, for a long time they were worse than dell for quality control. But now that title for me has gone to apple and this time I mean it Im never going back there.

    The Dell 9550 is also very nice but costs a lot more.

    I mostly image edit, hence needing the quad core, do some GIS and play some light games but this can handle BF1 on medium settings.

    yeah ive read their list of top screens too, but its very outdated, like the 9550 is probably one of the best screens out there in 4k but they on list the 1080p one, which ok, doesnt have the gamut or brightness of the 4k.

    im just wondering if these good acer screens are a Nitro thing? They all seem to be bright and reasonable sRGB especially for the money.

    Acer really has lifted its game. A Pascal version now would be dandy.

    Seems the 4k is better at Gamut. All are fairly innacurate on colour though unfortunately.

    Pascal version to replace the 960M GT will be 1050Ti which already premiered but only in desktop form.
    Several sources confirm that mobile 1050/1050Ti won't hit the shelves till Jan 2017 so you would have to wait till then.
