On BestBuy site, this is a 16" 1920x1080 FHD screen and it has no backlighting on keyboard. However, OP (Dr. W), usually has things right and BB often has things wrong.

45% NTSC - Is this bad?
USB-C, is this Power Delivery? or do we need to use the DC Pin only to power?
TIA

For those with Discover, can redeem cash back $190 for $200 certificate. I think you can stack and get multiples, but don't hold me to that.

I just picked this up, had a gift card I needed to use.

Display is IPS but the color feels washed out. 300 nits is pretty dim. Build quality is good, computer is quick, doesn't get super hot. Still day 1, getting used to Windows 11.

edit:
Whoa, tilting the screen just slightly really changes the brightness viewing angle. This is my first IPS display, maybe it's due to that. The AMD graphics software also has a setting to boost colors like you're gaming. Would recommend enabling that.

It's funny how every PC deal has someone saying "my [Random relationship] needs a PC for browsing and productivity. Would this work?" If the deals were on raspberry PIs or tablets, the question would make sense, but these are kinda high-end specs. It feels like if somebody asked if a lighting cable would charge an iphone 8, or a type C cable would charge a "saam-song".
The only realistic explanation is that people really have no idea what PCs are, like they are completely disconnected. Not with shallow, or old knowledge, plain old none.

On this laptop, I would trade any one of my family's laptops for it. Well, almost any, I wouldn't want my child to walk around with a regular sized laptop

This is "average", about 60% or so sRGB gamut that base corporate laptops have.

I own one of each of the two previous generations of this type of Asus laptop. While the colors
are muted since they don't reproduce the whole sRGB gamut. What is there looks decent with good
black levels and an anti-glare screen.

If this is going to be your one and only laptop that you do a lot of media consumption maybe you might
want a better screen, but really it depends on how picky you are. I am very picky on screens - I have an OLED
Asus for my streaming. But I could easily deal with this. A 16" 16:10 screen will allow you to get a lot of work
done more efficiently which I assume most people would buy this for. But, as a poster above mentions, the screen should be adjusted to be head-on to you. It is a wider viewing angle than low-end TN panels but keep that in mind.

Also, Win 11 really does bother me. While I like the new intels and prefer them over Ryzen, having a Ryzen would
allow me to install Win 10 without gimping the processor.

If you are not in a hurry I would just wait as it seems our economy is continuing to go in the shitter.

Yes, 45% NTSC is shit quality for color accuracy. If you want your reds to look Orange and your blues to look grey and so on, then this is acceptable. But when I briefly had a laptop with a 45% NTSC display it was horrible. I'd go to my favorite sports team's web site and wonder what the hell was going on with the team colors. And while we are at it, 300 nits is a pretty dim screen as well.

IMO the screen is the deal breaker on this device.
