LG Gram 17 2022 versus 2021 models

[Alphamale54]

Would like some info on the differences between the LG Gram 17 2022 and the 2021. On Amazon are the only 2022 ones labeled '2022' or are some of the others this year as well (and if so, whats the easiest way to tell)? Is there much of a difference between the 2 years models other than the CPU, and is that alone a big enough difference to justify getting this year over last? Does the WQXGA screen justify a higher price (meaning, is it that much better?)

WQXGA means higher 2500X1600 resolution and 16:10 aspect ratio. Which is better for movies and video but not better for viewing spreadsheets or accounting balance sheets all day. Also higher prices can be more memory, larger SSD or better graphics card. You basically get what you pay for with laptops. Meaning a higher price model will have better components than a lower priced one.

I guess it's all moot if the 2022's don't come out. I emailed LG and they replied they don't have any information ...on when they are coming out. Unreal. I would kind of like some of the options for this years version ...maybe.

Well Costco has the LG Gram 17 with the 12th generation processor and 32 GB ram for 200.00 off. The price today is 1799 to 1599.

I don't think those are the ones with the GForce GTX video card or the DDR5 ram.

It has the DDR5 RAM but not the Nvidia part. Unlike last year, this model also has a matte screen, FHD webcam, 12th gen CPU, and 12th gen EVO (basically battery life enhancements).

You write complete nonsense. Everything is exactly the opposite. 2.5k is completely unsuitable for film and video and is much better for working with text. In order for bitmap video to be shown clearly, you need either 1080p or 4k, because 4k mode are fully compatible with fhd by integer division. In the text, the higher the ppi, the clearer the text, because. each character has a large matrix of pixels. This is obvious as 2+2.

For games, the best 4k screen is also, of course, provided that the panel response does not exceed 10ms on B2W/G2G. But for another reason - it is difficult for video chips to process 2.5k, 4k is even harder, but 4k can be switched without losing pixel sharpness in 1080p without problems, but 2.5k is not - it always fuzzy mode for 2.5k.

Therefore, for today, 2.5k are the worst screens on the planet in terms of compatibility with 1920x1080 mode. The best choice for games, movies, and even more so for working with text and complex characters is 4k panels. And the fact that manufacturers continue to shamefully install antique, overgrown with moss 1080p panels against the backdrop of luxurious smartphone screens with 300ppi+, even in cheap models for $100, is simply the wildest shame of the entire IT industry.

Choose only 4k@120Hz screens (at every opportunity) and don't listen to anyone. This is the best choice for today, except for a very narrow range of tasks where there is no new software, and scaling is not possible. But avoid such software and change it to another one as soon as possible. It's not a screen issue, it's a software issue.


Well, regarding the LG Gram, the 2022 version is much faster than the 2021 version. This is obvious. The noise level has also gone up. Which is better is up to the buyers to decide.
