Q: What is the brightness of QHD 240hz screen in nits ?
A: I think it is rated at 300 nits like the FHD panel. I have this unit and it is brighter than the FHD panel. The FHD 360Hz panel is rated at 300 nits however a review on youtube says it was about 288 nits when tested. I originally got the FHD unit and did not like the panel. I have a 5yr old calibrated 400 nit UHD Alienware 17m R3 and it is rated at 400 nit. My normal brightness with Windows 10 is at 40 in a well lit room and the FHD MSI is at 80 for the same brightness in the same room. This QHD 240Hz panel is at 51 for the same brightness. So, I am guessing from experience the QHD panel is a 400 nit panel and like the 300 nit panel is probably rating around 350-375 nit. The QHD unit for the same price as the FHD is the way to go. It's the best of both worlds, fast enough for gaming and enough resolution for photo/video work. Also, the color accuracy out of the box of these MSI panels are spot on when set to the Adobe RGB in the MSI True Color app. Unless you are into critical photo work, this panel does not need to be calibrated any further.
A: As others have said YES this is not just a gaming laptop. It will do it all. Note this is a Windows Home OS. If your business requires Windows Pro or Enterprise for their domain then no, you will need to upgrade the OS to Windows Pro or Windows Enterprise.
A: You may adjust the GS76 Stealth's keyboard by using the Steel Series Engine application.
A: YES! it comes with a 1TB Gen4x4 M.2 NVMe SSD in slot 0 and a spare Gen 3x2 M.2 Gen3x4 NVMe slot that takes a full size "2280" NVMe SSD. It does not have the mounting screw for the spare slot, so make sure you acquire one with your SSD.
Q: Is this out of stock or has Best Buy just not received it yet? Also, will it have HDMI 2.1? Thanks!
A: These haven't landed yet. With ongoing chip shortages affecting manufacture of high-end laptops, I don't think we'll see these in stock until mid-August at the earliest. Also the spec sheet says HDMI at 4k/120hz and 8k/60hz. It must be 2.1 afaik.
A: The QHD 240Hz is a 2K display. I have this and it is brighter than the FHD 360Hz 1080p display. The 360Hz display will give you the faster gaming frames per second if that is what you want. However, I find that a 240Hz does quite well with FPS for most games and I like the 2K sharper and brighter screen over the 360Hz display. I got the FHD 360Hz model first and returned it and waited for the QHD display to be restocked. No regrets!
Q: how bright is it (in nits)??
A: Just measured mine. 300nits
Q: Does this have a TPM (trusted platform module) for Windows 11 readiness?
A: Yes the GS76 will be compatible with Windows 11,
