Be careful with this laptop. I bought it in December and it has weird issues with not waking up after putting it to sleep (essentially just closing the screen). There are forum posts all over the place for this issue and it seems to be either BIOS related or NVIDIA driver related.
I like the laptop a lot and bought it in spite of the 45% NTSC screen which is meh but definitely not the craziest thing if you just want a decent budget laptop for playing newer games at decent framerates.
I would say the not waking up from sleep issue is way more of a concern than the screen. So just keep that in mind if you're thinking about picking this one up.

Laptop works great except for the issue you mentioned. Reinstalling an older NVIDIA driver helped for me and I no longer have that issue.

Disabling discrete graphics fixed the sleep issue for me. There's a couple work arounds like this or using an older NVIDIA driver.

I picked this up the last sale and it's quite good. Build quality is good, cooling is good. Does everything a mid tier should do well.
I was also worried about the screen, but colors aren't as bad as I expected and it "seems" brighter than I expected. Just fine in a light controlled indoor room.

Hard to beat for the price.
