Display Response Times

ℹ
Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
   ↔    Response Time Black to White
32 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 20 ms rise
↘ 12 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 84 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (21 ms).
   ↔    Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
42 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 23 ms rise
↘ 19 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 64 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (32.9 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ
To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM detected 25000 Hz ≤ 20 % brightness setting

The display backlight flickers at 25000 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 20 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting.

The frequency of 25000 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering.

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8774 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

MSI PS63是一款令人印象深刻的中端多媒体全能笔记本电脑。它的CPU，GPU和SSD组合算不上出彩，但该设备在其他方面显现出优势。PS63重量轻，结构紧凑，易于维修或维护。此外，由于采用铝合金设计，外形看起来时尚，高端，且坚固耐用。

如果您正在寻找多媒体全能笔记本电脑但不需要标压CPU，MSI PS63是一个很好的选择。它提供了稳定的性能并且很安静，而其80 Wh电池将轻松地维持整个工作日的续航。

该设备通常温度不高，但在持续负载下运行时，它比大多数同类笔记本电脑更热，这可能是某些人的担忧。我们对于PS63风扇唯一的抱怨是，它使得该设备无法从Core i7-8565U处理器中获得最大性能，例如，当处理器达到75°C时会严重节流，这可能会影响渲染时间。 不够GeForce GTX 1050 Max-Q不受影响。

MSI还包含两个M.2插槽，这并非所有同类型笔记本电脑都有，并且制造商已经提供了一个空闲的RAM插槽，如果需要，可以轻松升级到32 GB RAM。令人遗憾的是MSI没有包含雷电3端口，但带有DisplayPort输出的USB 3.1 Gen2 Type-C是一个可圈可点的弥补。

PS63 Modern的售价大约为12999元，这对你的钱包来说有点可怕，特别是因为你可以用相同的钱购买更强大的笔记本电脑，如技嘉Aero 15X V8或戴尔XPS 15 9570。不够那样做的话你会牺牲一些便携性。

如果移动性是次要因素，那么六核Core i7-8850H或四核Core i5-8300H将是比Core i7-8565U更好的选择。戴尔有XPS 15 9570，而MSI则提供P65或GS65型号。在低压和标压的CPU之间做决定最终归结为偏好以及是否需要标压处理器带来的额外性能。让我们使用VEGAS Pro 16系统要求作为例子：
