I'm planning to buy a laptop, I've decided on Asus Vivobook S14 S430UN.

Display Characteristics:
Model: BOE NV140FHM-N49 (BOE07F7)
14" 1920x1080.
53% of the sRGB/ITU-R BT.709 (web/HDTV standard) in CIE1976.
45% NTSC.
Contrast Ratio: 1230:1 (1170:1 after profiling).

I'll be primarily using this laptop for watching videos, movies and occasionally playing games. No photo editing or video editing will be done so colour accuracy won't matter, I believe. But I want punchier colours for watching movies.

My current laptop is Dell Latitude e7470 and my smartphone is Galaxy S9+. I love the quality of super AMOLED of the Galaxy s9, but I guess that good screen won't be available in midrange laptops.

Is this laptop good for multimedia consumption?

No, it's terrible and the manufacturer should be ashamed to ship a product that bad.

sRGB is basically the default colour space that media should be pitching to, so 53% is woeful and likely to leave things looking very washed out. A half decent screen should be chasing 100% sRGB, and many can exceed it, even without looking to professional productivity monitors.

That is extremely bad.

Maybe it should say 93% and it was a typo?

93% is normal although still not great.
