    Anyone know if the GS60-3k display looks poor/bad when scaled down to 1920x1080 instead of using its native resolution of 2880x1620? I know on some TN pannles it can scale poorly, not sure about ips...

    Not sure if anyone has gotten one to be able to answer this question. Maybe once they start shipping we'll know.

    I am also curious about this and will be watching this thread for an answer. It's the last question I have before pulling the trigger on a 3K vs 052 Ghost Pro.

    Looking forward to the information as it comes in.

    By testing the theory on other laptops, one lower seems to look the same as native resolution, so i'm guessing the same is true here, not sure how ips scales though.
