I hope this review helps someone in their decision-making.  I loved everything I could know about this laptop from the Amazon listing and the ASUS website.  Here's what I wish I knew:  The display on this laptop is HORRIBLE for showing the spectrum of colors in the color spaces.  Now, I know this is primarily a gaming laptop, but with the CPU and the Video Card, this machine processes data for photo and video editing very well - EXCEPT, you can't really tell what color the final product will be.  I've attached pictures to show why.  I didn't know any of this before I bought the laptop, I just am finally buying my first new laptop since 2005, and had one "hand me down" in between, so I was really excited to do some photo editing especially on this machine.  Sadly, the choice that ASUS made of a display panel is horrible when it comes to colors - so if you need any depth or accuracy of colors, here's a quick flyover of what I've learned.  The attached images show the spec sheets of two display panels - one is the stock display that comes on the A17, the other is a display panel from the same manufacturer, using the same size, interface connection (40 pin, .5mm eDP connection), but with HUGE differences in the color space - probably for only a little bit more in production cost.  Note, I'm not an expert, and I'd love to hear from the Asus team why they made this choice, but the difference in color space is astounding.  The stock display only shows 47% of the Adobe RGB color space, while the other one that I listed shows 75% of the Adobe RGB color space - that's a huge difference (see other images for explanations of color spaces and what colors this will affect on your screen - mostly reds and greens - and I found that reds are way off - look more orange  because the display just can't physically display much of the red spectrum).  So, for the trolls who might say, "It's a gaming laptop, not a creator laptop," that is true - and it is advertised as such.  But cost increase on those creator laptops is significant, so that's why I really had hoped this would work well for these applications.  Now that I have this knowledge, I could have made a better decision perhaps.  But I didn't have this information.  It is VERY difficult to find these color space ratings (or even the stock manufacturer model of the display) to make the choice.  I even e-mailed one manufacturer about the specifics of the color space on their laptop, and the rep didn't know... so this is the primary problem - finding the information.  I wish that Amazon, or at least manufacturers, would make the listing of the NTSC or Adobe RGB or even the sRGB ratings a part of their listing - like stand-alone monitor manufacturers often do.  So, why don't I return it?  Well, I actually filled out the Amazon return and was ready to do just that, until I read the form that you get for return when you complete the process.  There's a 20% re-stocking fee by this distributor... so I guess I'll have to live with this laptop.  It's too bad, because it's like buying a brand-new corvette with a cracked and hazed over windshield that you can't replace - it drives great, you just can't really see where you are going... and that's the Asus TUF A17 for you when it comes to the display. If you do buy it, there is a cool setting in the Radeon software that controls the "Import Snap Settings" - so I can adjust the color settings for contrast, brightness, and hue, and then save that as a snap setting, which I can then import.  So, I tweaked and made a few profiles for high contrast for office apps, best I could do for photos, and a few others.  That helps take away the pain a little bit. SO, I hope this review helps someone make an informed decision.  Meanwhile, Asus, if you're listening, please do better!  My last laptop was an ASUS and I was thrilled with it.  This one, not so much.  That little 50 to 100 dollar corner you cut on the screen, and the failure to at least list this compromised color space on your specs, has seriously affected my view of your brand.  Again, I hope this helps somebody.  Have a great day!
