2019 Razer Blade 15 FHD (144 Htz) vs. 4k

iDATUSAs promised I have the photos of the razer screen before and after changing the settings from 4k to 1920x1080 They are links to drop box rather than inserts as they are large. I turned brightness to 0% and used my razer phone 2 to take them. See what you think. https://www.dropbox.com/s/zaqmri9szk9hpc7/IMG_20190413_153236.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/cg8h7a746hzvi5h/IMG_20190413_153409.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/1rozwtzx195dx1h/IMG_20190413_154945.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/v79n9u5dzj8et8d/IMG_20190413_155226.jpg?dl=0 Note these will be up for a while but I will delete them in a month or so. Thanks, iDATUS!. I have been watching your videos and I subscribed too. I decided to keep the 2018 4k blade. So, I'm trying to install a 1TB XPG (brand) SSD and the BIOS will not recognize the SSD. Windows 10 installation media will not pick it up either, but I get the option to load driver in the installation menu. I have searched the ADATA website and they don't seem

iDATUSLike everything depends on what you are going to play. Watch this latest video upload I did on practicle ways to approach to more fps or cooling. Remember you have a lot of options to keep it 4k and if it gets really bad then consider dropping it to 1080p but remember that doing so also adds overheads. Note: with 4k you can turn off a lot of gameing features such as antialiasing because the resolution is so high you don't need to blur it to compensate for lower resolution. Yes Sir, but how does it look when you downscale to 1080p? Some people are saying that it comes out blurry, and generally looking worse than it would on native 1080p to begin with.

iDATUSI have the 2018 4k model and the screen for me is amazing. Didn't know they changed it for the 2019 model. Also remember that viewing 4k streaming tv etc will look great on the 4k. You get a lot of screen real estate for doing lots of windows especially for hyper v etc. Done a lot of YouTube tech videos on my 4k model and will do many more. Posted a few on this forum.May help you decide. I have said that the hardest decision is choosing the screen size. I will add that because the screen is edge to edge and the laptop is smaller and closer to you, its more like a 17inch screen. Have fun choosing. ◄iDATUS► They didn't change it for 2019, it's just one of the other optional configurations (RTX 2060, 1080p, 144Hz, Mercury White Edition)

I’m mostly set on keeping the 4K 2018 GTX 1070 machine. I do a whole lot of reading on my laptop and the text is just so much clearer, darker, and more defined. If downscaling is effective for gaming then I’m fine with it. Although that 144Hz panel looks so much better when scrolling thru text.

What about gaming? I don’t game that much but enjoy it when I have the time. I read conflicting info regarding whether downscaling the 4K to 1080p is effective solution for gaming on a 4K laptop as far as getting the frame rates back up. Also I’ve read conflicting stuff about the image becoming blurred due to downscaling. Any advice from you gaming guys?

Yes the Dell is a IGZO SHARP display. A day later and I still have not made up my mind. This is driving my OCD thru the ceiling. Damnit man. The 2019 has Windows Hello feature, though typing the PIN is just as fast on the 2019 GTX1070 and the secondary keys are illuminated, which is nice. The 2018 doesn't and it really bothers me, although I rarely use a laptop in low light conditions. The 2019 also supports up to 64 GB RAM, although I would never need that much.
