    Are there any 4k G-Sync enabled Clevo panels yet?

    Haven't been keeping up with developments in tech lately. I tried using panelook's advanced search but was unable to determine if any panels exist yet that are 4k gsync in 15 or 17 inch sizes. Ideally AdobeRGB 100% and matte coated.

    Alternatively: What is currently the absolute bleeding edge panel that can be put inside a Clevo model?

    Even if there was a panel that supported G-sync you would not be able to enable it in your machine.

    Thanks Meaker, but that's not the reply I wanted.

    I am basing my next machine on the display and looking at the rest of the parts to power it based on that. So I need to know what is the pinnacle laptop screen at the moment.

    Still waiting on 120Hz 4k so the 144 upwards 1080p panels.

    I don't understand, the AU Optronics B173ZAN03.3 has been around for more than a year, the Razer models have them; what's holding Clevo back; has the evil Razer signed a deal with AUO to make these panels available for theirselves or what? I see people asking around how to switch their panel with the B173ZAN03.3, and for most, that sounds like Black Magic. Will def. wait for a Ryzen Model with Rtx 30XX and a 4K panel, doesn't have to be Clevo..

    Availability is usually the main factor. Cost can be a factor too, Razer do have much larger margins in theirs.

    The machine would need to ship with that panel for it to run G-sync still.
