Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
28 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 7 ms rise
↘ 21 ms fall
The screen shows relatively slow response rates in our tests and may be too slow for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 68 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (21 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
51 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 20 ms rise
↘ 31 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 86 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (32.9 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8746 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

In review: Acer Swift 5. Test model courtesy of Acer Germany.
In review: Acer Swift 5. Test model courtesy of Acer Germany.

Successful mixture: Acer combines elegant design with sufficient performance, but does not forget the important emissions. We liked the elegant chassis design with the extremely thin bezels in particular. But that's not all: Acer uses solid metal elements and convinces with good build quality, only the keyboard unit can be pushed in. The key travel is also rather short, but the keys can convince with a firm pressure point and low noise development during typing. The glossy IPS display features the Full HD resolution and manages decent results for both the luminance and the contrast. The hardware equipment of the Swift 5 is very balanced, and the processor can almost utilize its maximum performance under load, which cannot be said for the comparison devices. The temperature development is also okay when you consider the performance. The last important aspect for a subnotebook is the battery runtime. The Swift 5 does not last as long as the Dell XPS 13, but you can still manage a full business day without a socket.

The new Acer Swift 5 combines almost all the important aspects for a subnotebook and is available for a fair entry-level price of 900 Euros (~$947).

You should definitely have a look at the Dell XPS 13 9360 if you are on the road most of the time. It convinces with a matte display and very long battery runtimes. Even lighter and slimmer: the rival from Asus for 1,500 Euros (~$1610).
