The MSI Titan GT77 has a better screen than the MSI Stealth GS77 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
For general use, a laptop with a bright, high-resolution display offers clear and crisp visuals, creating a pleasing experience for everyday tasks like browsing and watching videos; the Titan GT77 excels here, thanks to its best-in-class panel. During engineering and design work, color accuracy is critical for precision, making the Titan GT77's wider color gamuts like DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB highly valuable. However, for gaming and 3D applications where fast-paced visuals are common, a higher refresh rate is crucial to avoid motion blur, and both the Stealth GS77 and Titan GT77 fall short in this aspect due to lower refresh rates.

Allen Ngo | April 2022
"The MSI Stealth GS77 is better than the GS76... mostly. The GS77 is a few steps forward and a few steps back from the GS76. Improvements are numerous including the stronger and more rigid skeleton, higher resolution webcam, larger clickpad, easier serviceability, relatively similar battery runtimes, newer display options, and higher performance at about the same TDP and TGP levels as before. CPU performance is better than expected even when compared to other laptops with Core i7 or Core i9 processors. The newer model feels more substantial than the outgoing one for higher quality impressions as well."

"The MSI Titan GT77 HX 13V is the utimate gaming laptop with RTX 4090 & Core i9-13950HX. The new MSI Titan GT77 will most likely only reach a very small group of users due to the high price, but it is still an impressive showcase of what is possible. The high-end gamer combines the best components you can currently get in almost every regard and it is a very good overall package, which does not have to hide behind full-fledged desktop systems."
