It could be that the panel's exceptional brightness, at 395 nits, is what makes the colors pop so much.

Those who don't plan on buying the detachable keyboard or a mouse will be relieved to hear that the Surface Pro 7's touch screen is very responsive. I'm a stickler for accurate white balance so I was happy to see crisp, clean white backgrounds as I visited my favorite websites.
