Acer Aspire V 17 Nitro BE vs. AdobeRGB

 

Acer Aspire V 17 Nitro BE vs. sRGB

 

If you are dealing with such high brightness, you also need high contrast for a good black value. However, we can only measure a contrast of 559:1, which is just good, but also results in a high black value of 0.59 cd/m². This means a completely black picture (RGB 0,0,0) is too bright in practice. As you can see in the chart, the review sample is not even close to the two comparison devices with their excellent results in these two disciplines. Fonts are always razor-sharp, no matter what the colors are. In factory settings, the DeltaE deviation of our review sample, which describes the color accuracy, is 8. This is not a great result for an IPS display, but still okay. The resulting blue cast is gone after a calibration, the DeltaE is reduced to 2 (grayscale) and 4 (ColorChecker), respectively. The available color space coverage is only important for (semi) professional users. 59% of the large AdobeRGB color space (80% sRGB) are less spectacular for an IPS display than the surprisingly good 54 and 55% from the TN panels of the Medion and Gigabyte. Less than 40% is not uncommon for cheap TN panels.

The matte display surface and the high maximum brightness are a good combination when using the device outdoors on a sunny day if you can find a suitable position. The pictures below show that once again this depends on the correct angle in relation to bright areas and the sun.
