Thanks, that's a helpful thread. I'm learning slowly. The issue really is comparing the Cosmos with our Canon projector in a camera club environment. People can't resist looking at the laptop screen and usually think it's better than the projected image, but a far as I can tell the 45% NTSC...

Sorry, it appeared when I wrote the initial message. I see it's only the file name now in the message, although there is an attachment now which shows it.. Anyway, it had said "Cosmos Series: 15.6" Matte Full HD IPS 60Hz 45% NTSC LED Widescreen (1920x1080)" I suspect the key statistic in terms...

Can anyone shed some light on the colour properties of my display? It's a " bought in November 2018. I'm using it for a photographic society and whilst colour accuracy and gamut isn't all that important for the laptop, we are seeing big differences between the images projected using our Canon...

I need a new computer for my Photographic Society and prefer PCS as my last 3 laptops personal have been from them. I am looking to the future a bit and anicipate we'll buy a large 4K TV to replace our 1400x1050 video projector when higher resolutions become more common in photo clubs. Ideally...

Thanks for your comments. I found the GPUID HWMonitppr - the icon had landed on an external monitor and if it's not in front of me I won't see it ;-) It shows reasonable temperatures as well. Yes, using Russian tools to fight cyber issues does seem a bit dodgy, but Kaspersky does seem to be...

OK, thanks. The laptop is only about 6 months old so I'd be surprised if it's overheating, but I'll test it, it is a different model to my previous PCS computer and might be more prone to this. I've downloaded HWMonitor and "installed" it twice which seemed to go OK but I found nothing -...

In the last couple of days, my laptop (1220499) suddenly freezes - no response to mouse or keyboard. Sometimes the screen is frozen too, sometimes it goes off. Its run time between boot up and freeze varies from minutes to hours. I've scanned with Kaspersky Internet Security and AVG Tune-up -...

I have a 5 year old Optimus 15.6", a Clevo model W350ST. Unfortunately it was accidentally damaged a few weeks ago, the internal 1920 x 1080 screen has failed completely and only shows flashing lines. PCS have said they don't think they will be able to source a new screen for it so have declined...

Would anyone comment on this laptop please? I need it for general home/business use including some photo and video editing and running a lot of specialist engineering software. Migrating from XP that I know and love, don't want to jump onto Win8 just yet (I have a netbook for ultra-portability...
