P150EM/P170EM Stock Screens

Hi ppl,
After much argument with two stores here in Portugal, which claim that Clevo doesn't offer matte option to the P150EM only to the P170EM...
I need some information about the stock screen on these models, can someone please complete the following information:

P150EM
Stock glossy: LG LP156WF1-TLC1 (LGD01E9) - Thanks to gkrules
Stock matte: LG Philips (LGD02D9) with +-60% color - Thanks to vuman619

P170EM
Stock glossy - Options:
- Chi Mei N173HGE-L21 - Thanks to cshaw71
- Hannstar HSD173PUW1 (60% Gamut) - Thanks to The Wizard

Stock matte - Options:
- Chi Mei N173HGE-L11 (CMO1720) with 72% color - Thanks to vuman619
- AUO B173HW01 V5 - Thanks to vellonese and Alterac

If someone doesn't know how to get this information, please use HWiNFO (Tab Monitor).

Thank you in advance,
Best Regards to all

 

I believe the stock glossy for the P170EM is the Chi Mei N173HGE-L21

I'm also pretty confused over the part names of the stock screens offered by Sager. I've heard many different things about the stock matte for the p170em (Some say it's 60% NTSC, some say 72%).

I also just noticed that in the description specifications section of the Sager website, they mention a 17.3" 120Hz 3D Ready Full HD (1920x1080) LED-Backlit Display features 72% NTSC Color Gamut in Matte Finished Screen

However this is not available as a customization option yet.

Thanks cshaw71, I added your feedback to the first post.

I will let you know what screen the +$30 Matte option is. I have 3 laptops to check it out on.

1 of them is an AUO but i cant remember the exact model number at work here.

 

Tks Alterac, that will be much useful

 

I called my reseller and they confirmed with me that the matte screen on the P170Em is a 72% gamut matte option. Only the stock P150Em come with the 60% gamut matte. Though YMMV.

 

Thanks vuman619, I added your feedback to the first post.

Seems odd to me how Xotic and Malibal offer both the stock matte (+30$) and the Chimei N173HGE-L11 72% NTSC Matte Display (+149$), when these both appear to be the same screen....

 

I think you need to put down more options for the P170EM.

Imho, I beleive the Two Stock Screens are 60%, then you have the two 72% Upgrades (Glossy, and Matte), Along with a 95% Glossy Upgrade.

I will be good to get everyone with a P170EM to post what they have, how much they paid for hte upgrade, and the actual screen that they got

The Matte Upgrade +$30 from Malibal that I have, is the AUO B173HW01 V5
, I have not been able to check the other two laptops I received yet. I will upgrade this post when I do check them, Hopefully Tomorrow Night.

 

My P170EM stock is 72% gamut, there is no upgrade option, only to 90% Glossy. The P150EM comes stock 60% with the 95% gamut glossy/matte upgrade option.

 

Malibal also offers the AUO B173HW01 V5 for an extra 149$, alongside the stock matte and the Chi Mei. So either the stock matte is a different panel or one of the 149$ upgrades is a ripoff...

Or here for more details:

The N173HGE-L11 is 72% colour gamut.

 

How can I check what sceen i got? (software info? Or small characters somwhere?)
Just got my P170EM with the 30$ matte option so I am curious. Screen look great no matter what

 

HWiNFO64 Download

 

ok, I've just tested with hWinFO64 and indeed I have a B173HW01 V5. I am very satisfied with it

 

I got 3 Laptops, with the +$30 LCD Upgrade to MATTE, through Malibal (which was quick and good service imho, no issues with them)

Before I switched to the $30 option, I asked on their forums which screen we would get, they answered Chi Mei, Auo, or LG depending on stock.

I received:
2x AUO B173HW01 V5
1x Chi Mei 173HGE

All 3 look great imho.

 

So you don't notice any difference between the screens?
I just find it strange how they would charge $149 extra to choose which screen you want while chances are you'll get the same model if you opt for the regular 30$ upgrade....
All 3 options are 72% NTSC, right?

 

I have a stock glossy NP9150. HWiNFO has two models for me for some reason. It says I have a LG LP156WF1-TLC1, and right above it, it says LGD01E9. IT says it was manufactured in 2009.

 

Thanks ppl, for all the feedback
I updated the first post with all the information given until now.

I also have a P170EM with a Stock Screen. I'm from The Netherlands, I don't know it's a standard screen from the factory, I didn't ordered any screen upgrades.

It's a : Hannstar HSD173PUW1 (60%)

Hi ppl,
Thanks for the feedback. The first post was updated

Best Regards to all

 

so is there a difference between stock matte 30$ and 72% matte 149$?

 

so are the sagers screen running at 120hz (p150em) and compared the new samsung gamer 7 laptops (supposedly the best laptop screen) which is better? i believe the gamer 7 runs at 120hz too, so should these be similar? im asking because i dont think the sagers screens are better than the samsungs. but dont get me wrong ive seen sagers screen and it does look good.

 

60% is the stock display color gamut, and depending on builder/reseller Hannstar MIGHT be stock. Generally, I believe Sager NP9170 comes with the glossy display standard.

Yes, as stated above, 60% is the stock color gamut so the 72% would certainly be an upgrade.

Sager displays are 60Hz stock. The 120Hz displays are supposed to be designed with the intent of use for 3D with glasses required to utilize the 3D.

 

Everyone here stated their 30 dollar stock matte screens were 72% gamut ?

 

i saw both stock and 90% glossy screen spec state "262K color by 6 bit R.G.B", so why one is 60% and one is 90%?

 

Very nice, tnx!

 

Yeah they have been for the most part. I know mine is and I am very happy with it. However "stock" is a misnomer as the stock is the glossy and it is 60% gammut. The $30 optional matte is 72% and for some reason some resellers seem to have the same model for $149 as an upgrade from the base matte.

 

:/, i feel kinda dumb for getting the 149 dollar option now >..<

 

I received mine last weekend, and I can confirm that it is the 72% NTSC Chi Mei. It looks amazing

 

Really wish I got the stock matte now...I heard that it was 72% gamut but then I was like makes no sense that resellers would charge 119 extra dollars for 72% gamut upgrade if the 30 dollar one was already 72% gamut.....guess I was wrong

 

That sucks .

I don't know why some builders/resellers present the options like that without telling you the stock is already 72% NTSC. Seems kinda shady to me :/

 

xoticpc told me that it was sager that told them the stock matte option was 60% gamut, so it's just a slight miscommunication I suppose. :/ still can't help but feel I would've gotten the same screen laptop 5 days quicker and 110 dollars cheaper.... x.x

 

Maybe that's it, because Reflex told me they were 72%. I'd be interested to hear what Xotic has to say on the matter.

 

I don't think they were lying, after all a ton of people on this forum think the stock mattes are 60% as well

 

Yeah I've seen that around too. Maybe some of them are? I can only speak from personal experience.

 

just one of those moments I wish I could go back in time and change the order lol, save time and money XD

 

For reference, I recently received an NP9170 from Xotic with the $149 matte upgrade. Got Chi Mei N173HGE (CMO1720).

The screen is a tad sparkly, especially on whites. I've had a matte desktop monitor before, it didn't look like that. The desktop monitor screen texture (like, touching it) was slightly rough and didnt appear to have a special coating. This laptop display, on the other hand, almost feels like a glossy screen that's been treated with an anti glare coating.

 

Hello everyone. I just wanted to clear up a few things.

Unless the screen is AUO it is not > 66% Color Gamut.

Sager uses Chimei screens which are 60% Color Gamut for the 17.3" and 66% for the 15.6"

You did not waist your money if you ordered the 72% Matte screen. If the company sold you an AUO.

If you purchased an AUO B173HW01 V5 screen you got 72% Color Gamut, far better viewing angles, and a much clearer screen. By clear I mean the screen isn't as "Grainy" as the stock screen.

If you plan to upgrade to the 72% screen, call your reseller and ensure that they're using the AUO B173HW01 V5.

 

I've read some reviews of the 17" screen being grainy, I take it that they were talking about the Chi Mein $30 matt upgrade? Has anything changed since this post, i.e. are some people still getting the AUO screen for $30? I'm talking about the 9170 to be clear.
