W370 high gamut display ? Is it good?

There is high chances that my next 17.3" will be a Clevo W370 model, my question is concerning the display. I have the option to choose a matte or glossy by the normal cost but the high gamut display costs above 100 Euros more. My question is does it much better than the others?
For now i am going for the matte option.

 

Are you comparing the 72% matte to 90% Glossy? I do actually prefer the lower gamut matte screen over the higher glossy. I just like the matte look better.

 

Thanks for the reply. No the question is for the normal gamut matte vs high gamut matte the 72% one.

 

ive got the standard matte on my p150em and if they are like that on your model its brill. best screen ive ever used and very vibrant bright colours.

 

I personally like the wide gamut displays, however if you don't properly hardware calibrate them they will be worse vs. normal so don't get it unless you own or will own proper hardware to calibrate it.

That said the whole charging $100+ to upgrade the screen is a joke. The screens only cost that much roughly (less really). In the prior days it kind of made sense as clevo shipped with standard screens and resellers swapped themselves so had to pay for the screens, though on flip side they got to keep the old screen too! BUT I guess some of it is they need to cover the 20min of labor too so :/

Now what's even worse, Clevo actually sells sku's WITH the wide gamut from the factory on MOST newer models and thus the up-charge is really only a little more however they are still being sold as if someone has to swap the screens.

For example, my P157SM from Sager sold as an NP8255-S came from Clevo with 95% gamut screen, but on the S model Sager isn't up-charging so wasn't an issue.

Now FWIW some models may not come from the factory upgraded.
I personally don't think $100+ is worth the upgrade given this. You could order a screen yourself for $90, install it and sell your old one for 70ish lol. (Of course if you are comfortable doing such installs.) just to give you an idea though.

End of the day it's a personal opinion really and going to be up to you. If money isn't an issue and you're not interested in doing anything yourself and want the best, sure get it and also get a calibrator. If you want to save money or best value do it yourself, or don't get it

It's similar to those who are in tossup between AMD and NVIDIA card. NVIDIA generally is faster but they you a good bit more on price for that small % increase..

 

Thanks so it seems the normal is good. The question was more if there was some issue with the normal matte one. 100 euros is an increase of 10% in price of the notebook so it is an important difference

Depending on the competition an issue with normal could have even make the me change from Clevo.

 

Yeah the stock panels look pretty good. Wide gamut can really be appreciated if you're a photo editing enthusiast with calibration tools as Bryanu mentioned, but the standard display doesn't not look "bad" by comparison.

 

Glossy is the best if reflections are not going to be an issue, otherwise I would stick with the standard display.

 

There has been a huge debate over the issue of standard vs high gamut here on these forums. I went through the whole thing myself when I was making my decision.

In the end, from what I gathered, I went with the regular matte display. As anyone with the regular gamut screen will tell you, these are fantastic as well.

In my opinion, unless you are a designer who actually needs that extra range of color, the standard screen will serve you just as good.

Go for the glossy display only if you are going to be working in an environment with no problems with the reflections. Personally, I went for the matte display because my work environment has no tolerance for reflective displays xD

 

Thanks everyone for all feedback
