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
9.6 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 4.4 ms rise
↘ 5.2 ms fall
The screen shows fast response rates in our tests and should be suited for gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 22 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (21 ms).
   ↔    Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
7 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 3.6 ms rise
↘ 3.4 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 16 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better 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 not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8746 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

华硕Zephyrus S GX531GX笔记本电脑评测. Test model provided by Computer Upgrade King

GX531在几个关键领域表现出色。除了具有窄边框的超薄机身外，核心温度比我们预期的更低，屏幕比GX501改进很多，尤其在拖影方面。当然，底盘的独特设计意味着令人不舒服的高温按键永远不会成为问题。与GTX 1080 Max-Q相比，用户可以从RTX 2080 Max-Q获得17％到45％的性能提升。

不过仍有很大的改进空间。屏幕下巴非常大，风扇噪音比MSI GS65或Razer Blade 15更大。在最大风扇的Turbo模式下运行笔记本电脑才能得到最大性能，而平衡模式将导致10％的性能损失。必须通过Armory Crate应用程序切换这些电源设置，因为它们独立于标准Windows电源配置文件运行。

其他缺失的功能包括RJ-45，SD卡读卡器，单键RGB照明和雷电3，我们认为这应该是价格高达20000元以上的旗舰游戏笔记本电脑的标准配置。游戏爱好者可能更愿意使用G-Sync代替Optimus，因为即使可以使用图形切换，这台电脑的电池续航时间也已达到平均水平。薄机身意味着不会有机械硬盘，这对于拥有大型游戏库的用户来说可能是一个问题。

由于GX531的缺点，我们建议用户改为使用华硕ROG GL504系列。我们发现通过更稳固的键盘按键，更坚硬的A面，更多存储选项，更多端口以及更大的触控板可以更好地平衡它们。它甚至与GX531共享完全相同的IPS面板。这是一个更厚的选择，但我们发现它的其他便利功能非常值得。

在性能，重量，厚度和外观方面，相较旧款GX501进行了重大升级。 GX531是迄今为止华硕最具视觉冲击力的15.6英寸游戏笔记本电脑，但它不得不牺牲一些有用的功能来达到如此轻薄的外形。
