Y70 touch infinite vs. Y70 Touch — A Comparison

In October 2023, HYTE revolutionized the PC building scene by launching the Y70 touch. Building upon the success of the HYTE Y60, the panoramic corner panel was replaced with an integrated 4K LCD touch screen. The demand for the Y70 touch became so overwhelming, that it completely exhausted the world’s supply of the 1100 x 3840 (4K) touchscreen. In response, HYTE released the Y70 without the screen for users to enjoy the PC case’s other benefits such as its larger size, extended thermal support, compatibility with next-generation GPUs, and iconic panoramic views.

HYTE now introduces Y70 touch infinite, which takes the place of the previously discontinued Y70 touch. It utilizes an entirely new touchscreen that is bigger, brighter, and faster, all while ensuring infinite availability on HYTE.com. Now comes the question: What’s the difference between the Y70 touch infinite and Y70 touch? We’ll be doing a spec. comparison between the two displays and breaking down the details that make the all-new Y70 touch infinite so unique!

Bigger

Does size matter? In this case, it definitely does. The new model features a larger 14.5-inch integrated touchscreen with a stunning 688 x 2560 (2.5K) resolution, delivering a pixel density of 183 PPI. The 2.5K resolution helps improve system compatibility and reduces resource usage, allowing us to reach a wider audience. The image quality has also seen improvements thanks to a 33% closer dot pitch, reducing the distance between the red, green, and blue sub-pixels. Compared to Y70 touch, the new Y70 touch infinite offers a larger canvas for creativity and meaningful digital interaction with more performance optimizations for your system.

Brighter

The Y70 touch infinite touchscreen not only has a larger size, but also features a 17% brighter LCD panel and a 25% higher contrast ratio. This results in more vibrant colors, with deeper blacks and brighter whites. The screen's enhanced brightness makes it suitable for use in even brighter environments while maintaining its improved vibrancy. Additionally, the wider viewing angle allows you to enjoy the display more comfortably. Whether you’re using the device for system monitoring, displaying videos, or reading stream chat, the improved screen quality of the Y70 touch infinite ensures clarity and vibrancy from more angles than before.

Faster

Maintaining a 60Hz refresh rate, the new Y70 touch infinite touchscreen now boasts a 50% faster pixel response time. While the refresh rate affects how smooth you see the display, the response time influences how clear it looks when things are in motion. The reduction in response time from 30ms to 20ms means that objects appear much sharper and clearer in motion with reduced ghosting. This upgrade provides a smoother and more fluid visual experience with Y70 touch infinite, enhancing overall usability. Whether you’re navigating through apps, playing games, or using touch gestures, the improved response time ensures a more seamless and enjoyable interaction with your PC case.
