How would you rate the display quality compared to other brands? I saw a 2012 model and didn't like it.

I love the display from the GT70. The quality of the monitor in terms of materials used is premium and the colors are vibrant. I would recommend this laptop to any of my friends and family.

A+ when looking directly at it, if you're using it for gaming don't hesitate its phenomenal. Playing FFXIV on it on max and no hiccups.

In our opinion, the MSI gaming laptops' screens are some of the best out there, we've been selling MSI machines for years, and even these new 2013 GT70s have screen improvements over the 2012 editions! If you have any other questions regarding GT70 laptops; feel free to let us know anytime!

It is not as clean looking as some other laptop displays but I think it's a good display once you adjust colors and contrast. I personally would give it 8 out of 10.

Beautiful, not glossy but good colors nice blacks and quick response time. No regrets.

When I got one, I also looked far and wide to find out what type of panel it had. Couldn't find anything, but having used it, I think it's a an IPS. The thing has better viewing angles than my mVA panel monitor and the blacks are deeper as well. Actually, I wouldn't worry about the picture quality of this thing at all. And if by some chance you end up with an inferior model, you can always return TVs to Amazon with free return shipping and no restocking fee.

Thanks for the reply. Eagle came and picked it up today. I am going LCD this time...Amazon really came through with the return.

I don't really do photographic work. It is far superior to the old TN screen it replaced. Without putting an IPS display next to it I couldn't make a decent comparison. Now that Dell is running sales on their 24" 4K IPS display I'd take a closer look at that. If you do get this 28" display keep fluorescent lights away from it. Fluorescent flicker plus 30Hz refresh = ugh.

I'm not sure of the "differences" between the two displays as I only have one. My highest screen resolution is 1366 X 768 which is what mine is set at. I don't do gaming, etc. so I don't need ultra-high resolution or bright screens. I wouldn't call my own display "brilliant" but it's adequate for just poking around the internet.

I've got a 46" 860. It's unbelievable. Vibrant true colors and best of all, hardly any screen glare like on the 650 and 850. Best LCD on the market.

Yeah I dont have any problems with my display, but make sure your camera is decent and adjust to the light so the image looks good. Camera quality makes a difference.

This TV is over the top, I bought last years model, 2012 and saved a bundle of money. I would make sure it has the camera built in so you know your getting their best, if the model # has an F in it, it is the latest model.

I can only speak for myself, but I really don't care for the glossy screens. I have one on my Dell laptop and it looks great in perfectly controlled lighting; However, it is very reflective and I find myself adjusting the screen angle more than I would like. I am also looking at this monitor, which looks like a good deal, but I think I'll go with a matte screen.

The main downside to this monitor is that it is a TN matrix panel. I have had nothing but IPS panels and I never realized TN panels could be so bad. Here's an example. Basically, I am looking at a white screen with my head level with the monitor. The middle of the screen is white, the bottom of the screen is a bit cyan/blue-ish white, the top of the screen is a pinkish-red white. I am about 2 feet away from the screen. If you can find a 120hz IPS panel, I'd say go for it. That's really the only downside. Getting the color, gamma, contrast, and brightness levels correct while not crushing blacks or washing out whites can be pretty difficult, but there are plenty of programs and calibrators and settings that you can find online that are quite suitable. Honestly, it's a turn off but I am getting used to it.

I had the XE700T1C-A02US and had some major issues with the screen - including strange artifacting, a "light shadow" along the entire outer frame of the screen, and a dark spot in the middle of the screen. Definitely exchange it. Amazon took mine back and didn't hassle me about it at all. :)

I ended up purchasing this display as well...and I'm very happy with it. I've owned the TV for roughly a month now...Regarding the questions that I asked previously in this post, I have yet to see any banding issues on any DVDs or Blu rays, no clouding issues, and have not experienced any hdmi hand shaking issues what so ever. I really can not comment right now on the sports issue due to the football season being over...but I will be watching the NCAA tourney! So far, the TV has performed exceptional and the picture quality is excellent. I feel the display's panel being a 10 bit panel over an 8 bit like most other LCD displays really is beneficial!by the way, Thanks for the response James :P I ended up purchasing this display as well...and I'm very happy with it.

Well, I only have the 32 inch model (bought it a few weeks ago) and have to say I really like it. I only use it for TV watching so not sure how it would look with high-end games. Have to say that I watched "Avatar" the other day and it looked crisp, vibrant, sharp on the 32-incher.

I'm on the same struggle but after I took a closer look at the bad reviews of the 8109 I discovered what seems to be a trend, the LCD fails after a few months. That doesn't seems to be a problem with the 8243.If the bad reviews come from long term users that should be an indication!

I have a friend who owns a computer rental business for trade shows and he was the one who recommended them to me (beyond the ones we have here at work), for they have great technical specs, are durable. They don't have the fancy "bells and whistles" of other brands and are more the "Thinkpad" of monitors.

I don't know why people downgrade this monitor. The picture is beautiful the viewing isn't as extreme but the response and picture quality is way better then a IPS monitor! I have a LG IPS as my task monitor and three BenQ's as my game display. Plus if anything goes wrong BenQ support is helpful and they replaced one of my older monitors rather quickly.

No, actually it looks good. That is the resolution I'm using and I like it a lot. I would buy this monitor again.
