Even though the keys require an acceptable 60 grams of force to actuate, I still "bottomed out" (pressed against the base with too much force), making typing uncomfortable.
The Gram 15's keys have a mere 1.1 millimeters of travel (we hope to find between 1.5 to 2 mm). When we test a laptop this thin, we're not surprised to find a shallow keyboard. I observed decent viewing angles, with colors staying intact at 50 degrees to the left or right. The ZenBook Pro (289 nits), XPS 15 (382 nits) and average mainstream laptop (252 nits) shine more brightly. The Gram's display can emit up to 246 nits (a measure of brightness) - the same amount as the Spectre x360 (246 nits). Dell's XPS 15 (0.5) is better, but the ZenBook Pro and Spectre x360 are worse than the LG. The Gram 15's score of 3.5 in the Delta-E score for accuracy (where closer to zero is best) isn't great. MORE: Best Ultrabooks (Thin-and-Light Windows Laptops) That's more than the average mainstream notebook (86.1 percent) and the XPS 15 (72 percent), but less than the ZenBook Pro (110.6 percent) and the Spectre x360 (119 percent).

LG claims that Movie mode delivers "vibrant lifelike colors," but I only noticed that the preset dimmed the display by a small factor.Īccording to our colorimeter, the Gram 15's display can produce up to 100.6 percent of the sRGB color spectrum. Reader mode changes its color profile output to a warmer array of colors for less eye strain, but it also makes the display harder to read in direct sunlight. The Gram offers Reader and Movie display presets for "optimal screen conditions" in a system tray utility.
