    Hey guys, I have 3 questions I'd be grateful if you could help out.

    From my research here, I guess the B173ZAN01.0 (3840x2160, 17") screen is the main or only UHD one the gaming laptops are using currently, including the Sager 98 series, MSI GT72/73VR, and Alienware 17 R4. For those who have this screen, can you share what your experiences are with any bad pixels? Sager only offers up to 90 day guarantee, while Dell offers their "Premium Panel Guarantee" for the duration of the 3 yr limited warranty, and MSI only covers it for 30 days from the invoice date. It'd be helpful to know your experience.

    Also, I've seen some people post that it's 88% Adobe RGB, and others post that it's 100%, could you share any clarity on that?

    Lastly, are you aware of any 10 bit or 8 bit +FRC screens with such a wide gamut for UHD and with either 60hz or 120hz on laptops? Thanks for your help.

    EDIT:

    I had one more question about light bleed, and in that regard I guess it would be model specific. If you have any of the Sager 98 series, Origin Eon, or Alienware R4, can you share the degree of light bleed?
