I believe this is the IPS display. Where does it say mini-led?

Edit - never mind. Not tech savvy enough. In for 1

The 250Hz models, especially with the 18", don't come with IPS but only with mini-LEDs.

Do you think the mini-led display is worth the extra $430 vs the helio 16" rtx 4080 for $1274 + tax?

I got this 21 days ago at $300 more. Does eBay do price adjustments? If not I'm going to return this and purchase it again, but seems like a buncha trouble for everyone instead of getting a credit back.

By the way the laptop is awesome, fast, gorgeous large screen, just love it

Do you plan to primarily use the laptop's built in screen, or do you plan to mostly game and watch movies on a connected monitor/TV?

Also, how much is better contrast, darker blacks, brighter whites, better color range, worth to you?

Built in screen 65% of the time. Yeah I just went for it. Gonna mostly be a home computer that gets used in bedroom/living room. Since I hardly will travel with it, the 18" screen will be a big plus as well.

I am hoping the larger laptop has better cooling too

I would strongly suggest to stay away from this laptop for people who wants to undervolt this CPU.
Although 13900HX is a unlocked CPU, Acer has LOCKED OC/UV on BIOS level and will not be able to OC/UV.

I have purchased this and have returned before.

Do you mention this because of degradation (like some 13900K desktop chips are experiencing)? Or just in general you want to undervolt?
