I've seen reviews that say the screen isn't that good in the color department, I've want to know more about its screen response time/input lag, it will be appreciated!

    As for response time, I haven't seen any lag, but then I don't pay attention for it.

    The G3-571 has a matte IPS display. I find the color just fine. The only way you are going to get better colors is with a full LED display (generally cost more). UltraNotebookReview says the screen looks 'washed out,' but that is because it is has an anti-glare layer on it so it can be used in different lighting settings.

    Unless you are extremely picky about the screen, it is unlikely you will even notice the difference, but it is definitely not the best screen out there.

    The respone time from black(10%) to white(90%) and reverse is 22.7ms. IPS displays are bad at response times and you won't even notice any 'ghosting' in games. The only way to see ghosting is to just move your mouse's cursor quickly and you will see it. I am with an IPS display(~25ms response time) and I haven't noticed ghosting in games.
    Always post the following characterisitcs of the device:
    -Model number
    -Part number(not required, but helpful)
    -CPU
    -GPU
    -Operating system

    Helios 300 and Nitro 5 users DO NOT update the BIOS to version 1.22 if you don't want the keyboard's backlight to turn off after 30 seconds even when the device is plugged in.

    So that means gray to gray response time is aprox 5ms right?

    gray to gray usually has longer response time than white to black.

    I read that gray to gray was lower, like if black and white response time is say; 25ms the gray to gray response time is 5ms aprox

    In IPS should be a different case. I don't know why but for all reviews about IPS displays GTG is longer than BTW. Here is a review of your laptop: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Acer-Predator-Helios-300-7700HQ-GTX-1060-Full-HD-Laptop-Review.242962.0.html#toc-display

    G9-793: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Acer-Predator-17-G9-793-Notebook-Review.173668.0.html#toc-display

    There is no correlation between GTG and BTW.
