| Screen quality | Reviewers rate this screen poorly. “Acer Nitro 5 (AN515-44)’s 60Hz IPS panel has a Full HD resolution, comfortable viewing angles, good contrast ratio, and adequate default settings. However, it uses harmful PWM and it has poor color coverage, only displaying half of the colors found on the Internet, and its pixel response time is very slow – 30ms, which leads to ghosting and not a very pleasant experience for gaming.”laptopmedia.com, checked 22 September 2026. | Reviewers rate this screen well. “I had an equally excellent gaming experience with the x15's display.”tomshardware.com, checked 24 October 2026. |
