Archive.org versionSo is it worth your hard-earned money? As always – it depends. If you are looking for solid cooling performance, excellent image quality and portability, the GL702VI will probably be your best shot. However, the Predator 17 X can still offer an excellent UHD or FHD panel but won’t be able to drive all those pixels at 120 Hz.
