Just bought an envy from BB. It blows. The screen is unreadable. Have to site directly in front of it and still the edges are dark unless I physically move. It's a deal breaker. I've never purchased a laptop, even cheap ones, where the display wasn't great. Hp missed the boat on a wonderful laptop by handcuffing it with an unacceptable and crap display.
That (not being able to see the screen from an angle) sounds like you may have the screen with the privacy guard version ?
IPS screens typically don't have the problem with viewing angles. The privacy screen is, i thnk, 1000 nits (not sure of exact number but i know it's pretty up there) but the viewing angles suck, as they should - by design
I think the new Envy 360 2-in1 (2020) beats in IMHO
- Convertible design
- Touchscreen/Pen support
- Available with Ryzen 4000 series CPU
- Dual USB-A ports
In specs yes. But when compared in person, the difference will be huge. The Envy 360 is thick and heavy as a pig. Way too heavy for its size and specs. I returned it and bought my wife a LG Gram 15. Even though it does not have touch screen, and slower, the weight is the deciding factor for her.

Lol, it makes you "envy" everyone else's laptops...
In my experience, XPS is more solid with thick aluminum plates on top and bottom, whereas Envy is more like an aluminum can (maybe 1.5x thickness) wrapped on a laptop.
Nah. It's more like buying a Porsche and you can't see out the frosted windshield. But nice try. I'm enjoying my XPS very much compared to the shit Envy.
No offense, if you can't see clear out of 300nits, you might want to check out your eyes. Again. No offense.
