60% Samsung Galaxy Book Odyssey review: Another laptop ruined by a poor display
Source: Digital Trends
I wanted to give the Samsung Galaxy Book Odyssey a higher score. It provides solid productivity performance with the ability to handle some creative duties as well, and while its gaming performance was a little underwhelming, it can still handle 1080p games with decent graphical detail. It has great battery life, sports a good keyboard, and has an excellent touchpad, and its build quality is just a little subpar. Unfortunately, the display is a huge disappointment. You just can’t provide such narrow colors and low contrast on a laptop in this price range, especially one that’s at least in part aimed at creators. With a better display, I could have easily recommended this laptop, but as it is, I have to give it a pass. The Galaxy Book Odyssey is competitive in several important ways, but you can get much better displays for the same money — and that matters a lot.

15.60":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
