Display tests
It took longer than I planned, but we finally got our hands on an Aorus gaming laptop. Specifically, the 15-inch model set for 2023 with a Raptor Lake Core i7 processor and an Ada Lovelace RTX 4070 graphics card. This configuration may impress with a rather attractive price. But then again, in the fierce competition from ROG, MSI and Legion models, the Aorus 15 BSF won’t have it so easy.
Gamut, brightness and color deviation
Aorus 15 has chosen to take the middle ground when selecting the panel, so you can look forward to a QHD resolution with 165Hz. The resolution is a good step considering the hardware, 4K would already be too much of a burden in gaming use. In other markets, there is also a 360 Hz Full HD panel on offer, but that will already be less suitable for graphics work. In addition to the resolution, the manufacturer provides information about 100% DCI-P3 coverage and TÜV Rheinland Certification.However, the manufacturer doesn’t provide numbers for brightness or other parameters.
We measured 100% sRGB, 90% AdobeRGB, 100% DCI-P3 and 88% NTSC coverage, which are very good values indeed. Gamma is at 2.2 with minimal deviation, and the brightness of 251 nits is a minor disappointment in an era of 400–500 nit panels. The average Delta E colour deviation is also very good at 1.73.
The panel of the tested piece also offers above-standard uniformity with only minimal variations. Overall, I rate the display very positively, it is definitely among the strengths of the laptop.
