On PCMark 7, which measures overall system performance, the Inspiscored 2,734, just behind the ASUS VivoBook V451LA's score of 2,782 (1.6-GHz Intel Core i5-4200U), but far behind the Toshiba Satellite E45T's mark of 4,316 (same CPU as Asus). We had no problem streaming multiple 1080p videos at the same time, even with five tabs open in Chrome and Internet Explorer.

This creates a speed bump for gestures near the edge of the screen. Too bad there's a thick bezel between the display and case. It was a cinch to swip in from the left to switch applications or from the right to summon the Charms menu. Touch gestures in Windows 8.1 were responsive and easy to use. That's behind the ASUS VivoBook V451LA's Delta-E of 0.7 and the category average of 6.8. Color accuracy was also poor, with a Delta-E rating of 9.8 (closer to 0 is best). The Inspirecreated just 52 percent of the sRGB spectrum, less than the ASUS VivoBook V451LA's 62 percent and the category average of 86 percent. More troubling is the poor color reproduction. However, this screen is dimmer than the category average of 216 nits. In terms of brightness, the Dell Inspiron 14 5000's panel (209 nits) is brighter than the 14-inch ASUS VivoBook V451LA (173 nits, about $699) and the Toshiba Satellite E45T (161 nits, $679). The only nice thing we have to say about the display is that it offered good viewing angles, both horizontally and vertically.
Contrast was also an issue, as "The International 4 DOTA 2" tournament looked foggy and washed out. When watching an episode of FX's "Fargo," we had a difficult time enjoying the blown-out, snowy landscapes and soft, undefined images.
With a low, 1366 x 768-pixel resolution, the Inspiscreen disappoints. Click to EnlargeWe expect better from a display at this price.
