backlight LEDs tend to struggle to make whites actually
appear white. Unfortunately, Gigabyte’s keyboard
customization software is not the best. While there’s
per-key lighting, you can’t set it per key, or even use
zones. You have a large choice of animated presets,
some of which will give you a headache, or a single
colour across the keyboard. This didn’t put us off as
we like a one-colour backlight, but it may disappoint
those who like to go to town with the lighting.Display
The Gigabyte Aero 15X we reviewed last year had a
very solid display with good colour and contrast. This
2018 model makes significant upgrades bringing it
much closer to a pro-level screen.The 2019 15X’s display is
a huge improvement over
