The Acer Aspire Vero 15 and the Dell Inspiron 14 7425 have similar screen quality.
Both the Acer Aspire Vero 15 and the Dell Inspiron 14 7425 have displays with adequate resolution and brightness for everyday tasks, but they may lack the crispness or vibrancy of higher-end panels which can be more important for general use. These models may not cover the wider color gamuts required for professional engineering and design work, where accurate color representation is crucial. Moreover, for gaming and 3D applications, their typically lower refresh rates can lead to less fluid motion and responsiveness compared to displays designed specifically for these purposes.

Matt Elliott | October 2021
"The Acer Aspire Vero is an eco-friendly Windows 11 laptop. Made with PCR plastic, the Acer Aspire Vero stands out from the midrange laptop pack with a funky, eco-friendly design. Powering Microsoft’s latest operating system is a Core i7 chip from Intel’s latest series, integrated Intel Xe graphics, and an ample 16GB of RAM. The laptop feels snappy, but its battery life disappoints. I also have a few quibbles with the display and keyboard, but they’re relatively minor. With a longer runtime, the Aspire Vero would earn a stronger recommendation for students or anyone looking for an eco-friendly, big-screen laptop."

"Overall, this Dell Inspiron 14 2-in-1 offers a lot to like, especially at its oft-discounted price of $800. It’s a sturdy laptop with strong performance, a convertible touchscreen, loud speakers, and a convenient fingerprint reader. But the trade-offs you’ll make in pursuit of that lower price—most notably the dim display and stiff trackpad—might just keep you from outright loving it."
