    Hi, i asked the same question on the lounge owners, but i dont know if its better to post it here on the hardware section. If i can`t do it feel free to delete one of them.

    I am planning on buying a XMG P705 (Clevo P670SE) laptop from XMG Europe. Searching through the web and massively on this thread i have clarified some doubts but i am still confused with one option.

    The Screen.

    On the panel configuration of XMG i have two options:

    1,- 17.3″ (43.9 cm) Full HD (1920 × 1080) Non-Glare ---> Model: CHIMEI N173HGE-L11
    2.- For 80€ more --> 17.3″ (43.9 cm) Full HD (1920 × 1080) Non-Glare IPS. Model: LG LP173WF4-SPD1
    (Both panels @ 60 Hz)
    I never owned an IPS panel so i dont know exactly what i will find so i searched a lot of info. People seem to love IPS panels, but i am not totally sold on it.

    I will use the laptop 85% games (Sims 4, Skyrim, Dota 2, Counter Strike and some modern FPS) and 15% Web/Youtube/Movies. I will use it almost all the time on front of it, i mean, i wont use it too much time on bed or over my legs.
    What i saw on reviews of laptop mounting this kind of screen:

    IPS panel has better viewing angles although this TN is very stable.
    I saw that IPS panels have better image quality compared to TN:
    - Colorchecker DeltaE2000 is better on IPS panel (7.21 vs 10.3)
    - Greyscale DeltaE2000 is better on IPS panel (4.96 vs 10.24)
    TN panels have better response latency (the Chi Mei from option 1 has 2/6ms of response and the IPS from LG has 25 ms).
    The TN panel has better black levels (0.31 vs 0.41).
    The TN panel has better contrast (1035 vs 820)

    But this results may be different on somes reviews (i dont know if i can post links from other webs of laptop reviews). In fact, on other reviews i saw the IPS panel having better contrast and black levels o0?.

    Finishing, my conclusion is you spend 80 € more to have better quality of colors and view angles. But other problems as bleeding light, high latencies, worst black levels are there. I understand the use of IPS panel for people who works with Photoshop or Graphic Desing ... but to people like me is better the TN.

    But i want to share this though with you ...and see your experience with this two panels. I dont want to spend 80 euro to be unsatisfied latter.

    Thank you.
