The ASUS ROG Zephyrus M16 has a better screen than the MSI Raider GE67Hx for gaming and AI, while the MSI Raider GE67Hx has a better screen for general use, and engineering and design.
For general use and engineering design tasks, the ASUS has a high-resolution display with vibrant colors and ample brightness which makes it pleasant to use for everyday activities and precise for tasks requiring color accuracy, yet for gaming and 3D, its lower refresh rate makes fast-paced visuals less smooth compared to other gaming-optimized screens. The MSI also offers a high-resolution and bright screen with excellent color range, ensuring sharp and precise imagery that professionals in engineering and design need, but like the ASUS, it falls short for gaming due to a less-than-ideal refresh rate that does not support the most fluid motion in games. Hence, both laptops serve professionals and general users well, but gamers might find the visuals lacking during high-speed gameplay due to slower screen refreshes.

Christian Hintze | March 2023
"The ASUS ROG Zephyrus M16 is not yet as optimised as its predecessor. Compared to the previous gen, performance and efficiency have improved significantly. What's more, the wonderful, Mini-LED Nebula display is a contender for the main highlight and almost manages to put the CPU and GPU in the shade. We already found its predecessor to be a well-rounded and well-optimised gaming machine. Generally, but not unequivocally, that also applies to the new Asus M16. Similar to most of the current, new laptops, we are dealing with a double generational leap in terms of the CPU and GPU. However, this change doesn't always run smoothly."

"If you've wanted to dip your toes into PC gaming but can't let go of your console roots, the MSI Raider GE67 HX stakes out an attractive middle ground between the speed and versatility of PC gaming and the comfort and ease of a console. If you can overlook its noisy fans and chintzy touchpad, the Raider provides a powerhouse entertainment experience with an OLED screen that tops most household TVs. It's not cheap, but this gaming machine is more than the sum of its parts."
