You would be hard pressed to find another PC with this level of sRGB accuracy for this price.

The Surface Go targets the sRGB gamut, and almost perfectly hits it. Gamma is also quite good hitting the 2.2 average that is being targeted. The color balance of the red, green, and blue, shows a slight drop in green, but this is well ahead of any other PC in its price range. There’s a couple of peaks that are just above 3.0, but the whites are more or less accurate. Overall, the grayscale results on the Surface Go are fantastic, with an average well under 2.0. For those that want to use it in the dark, it also goes all the way down to 6 nits so it should be easy to use in a very dark room without searing your eyeballs. It’s not industry leading, but for a device that starts at $399, it’s quite good. The display isn’t the brightest device around, at just 380 nits, but it does offer fantastic black levels and therefore good contrast. To test the display, we use SpectraCal’s CalMAN software suite with a custom workflow, along with an X-Rite i1Display Pro colorimeter for brightness and contrast readings, and an X-Rite i1Pro2 spectrophotometer for color accuracy results. Since the Surface Go focuses on mobility, being able to use it outdoors without as much glare would be a benefit.

If Microsoft was going to tackle the Next Big Thing on their displays, they should perhaps investigate better anti-reflective coatings, since they are still well behind Apple in this regard. This is a nice benefit to all Surface customers, who can rest assured that anything they view on the display is going to be accurately portrayed. Microsoft is the one company in the PC space that color calibrates all its displays, and this trend started with the Surface 3 back in 2015.

The Surface Go offers 10-point multitouch, and the display is compatible with the Surface Pen.

It’s not the crispest display around, but it gets the job done without being a burden on the battery. The Surface Go offers a 10-inch 1800x1200 display, which of course offers the same 3:2 aspect ratio as the rest of the Surface lineup, and the extra height makes for a better tablet experience, as well as some more vertical space for getting things done.Įven though the resolution isn’t as high as some of their other devices, the pixels-per-inch of the display are still reasonable at 216 ppi. One area where Microsoft consistently leads all other PC makers is in the display department.
