Its weight in gold. The updated model of a thin gaming notebook from MSI is now available with a powerful but more economical nVIDIA graphics card series Maxwell, Ultra HD screen and golden colors. Is it worth the money or should choose simpler and cheaper?
Last summer we tested MSI GS60 2PE Ghost Pro 3K - thin and light notebook with a high-resolution screen and powerful gaming components. They are clearly not enough cooling, and in 2880 to 1620 pixels were explicit enumeration, the installed graphics card nVIDIA GeForce GTX 870M to play on this resolution is simply not designed. But as soon as it became possible, it was replaced by the new GTX 970M, based on economical architecture Maxwell - power consumption and heat have been reduced, and it is possible that the laptop is no longer cool.
Productivity also rose, and MSI decided that the laptop screen should be replaced by more precise, this time "4K" (in fact, of course, correct its resolution called Ultra HD - read why), ie 3840 to 2160 pixels . It is 4 times more than in Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels), and even the graphics card for desktop PCs with such a resolution in games cope with difficulty. Detailed testing of the screen will reveal its strengths and weaknesses and help you decide whether or not to pay extra for a configuration with GS60 Ultra HD.
At this time, we were sent to test the model with golden colors of the shell (Sales also still have a black). The case itself is completely changed and talk in detail about it, we will not - related information, refer to our review of the previous model GS60. The same applies to interfaces, keyboard and klikpadu, speakers and communications. This time is used by the wireless module Qualcomm, not Intel, but their capabilities and the reception quality are the same. So pay attention to detail UHD-screen and a new video card: configuration for notebook MSI with them requires more than 130 thousand rubles, which is approximately equal to the value of recently tested Asus G751JY with more powerful components, and almost any other gaming laptop for the money could be your - even as thin as our GS60. Know whether it is right MSI appreciated his creation, and whether it will suit everyone.
Matrix resolution screen made by Samsung, is 3840 to 2160 pixels (Ultra HD). It's very, very much, because even in 1920 by 1080 pixels on a 15.6-inch diagonal provide quite a clear picture. However, if we compare it with the screen Apple MacBook Pro Retina 15 (2880 by 1800 pixels), the difference is still noticeable. But this is not the limit, our Ultra HD screen looks even more accurate, though the difference is not so great.
However, if the Mac OS X for such a high resolution adapted perfectly in Windows 8.1 is still experiencing problems. More precisely, not so much in itself Windows, in applications written for it, developers do not follow this precise guidelines as in the case of the Mac. Take, for example, the game client Origin of the well-known company EA (Electronic Arts). Its current version is clearly not designed for such high-definition screens, as our GS60: Fonts menu tiny, and 30 games in our library took only half of the screen.
Black level can not be considered high, but at the same time of 0.45 cd / m² - no more than the average result for the modern premium-level screen. Black seems a little grayish, but no more than 3K-model (0.43 cd / m²), and IPS-matrix result is not so bad, the values in the 0.2-0.3 cd / m² are rare. Given this figure and the highest measured value of brightness, the maximum contrast ratio was 536: 1, quite mediocre for such an expensive laptop result. 3K-U model it is 751: 1, and best IPS-matrix exceeds 1000: 1. Thus, the screen provides a very clear picture, but the colors seem a little faded.
