Which display resolution and technology should I select? Are display calibration, minimize LCD backlight bleed, and no defective pixel warranty recommended?

We find that QHD resolution is the best medium nowadays as it provides superior image quality to the FHD resolution but without being so taxing on the graphics card. 4K looks slightly better although for a laptop display, it might be hard or impossible for the human eye to perceive the difference. Also note, if battery life is important to you FHD and QHD displays will give you better battery life as they have less pixels.

We recommend display calibration for people who are video/photo editors and want their footage or prints to look exactly the way they see it on their screens.

Note: MSI laptops have a utility called MSI True Color which already has factory calibrated profiles for the laptop's screen so calbrating your display is not required for MSI laptops.

Minimize LCD Backlight means we will give you the best display with the least backlight bleeding from that model that we have. Please note that LCD Backlight bleeding is a common trait in LCD panels and while we will do our best to minimize it and give you the best panel, we cannot guarantee 0 backlight bleed.

The no defective dead pixel warranty ensures you will get a screen with 0 dead pixels. Usually, up to 3 dead pixels is considered "normal" according to manufacturers and cannot be a reason for you to return a laptop but with the dead pixel warranty, you are guaranteed to get a perfect panel.
