The next battlefield is laptop displays, so let’s see the pros and cons of each contender.

The infinite contrast simply blows away even the best IPS displays.

Because they don’t have self-illumination, IPS panels are subject to something called “IPS glow”.

OLED screens don’t suffer from that, retaining a more uniform brightness along the whole panel.

IPS displays are more balanced in that regard.

Like, a lot more than even flagship phone screens.

Not to mention, phones are smaller, lighter, and get replaced more frequently, but I digress.

At CES 2024, there were announcements from various brands, likeLenovoandRazer, for laptops with OLED displays.

You will, however, find yourself with some limitations.

As someone who has reviewed this model, I can assure you its screen is just amazing.

There are no laptop options, since no MacBooks feature such panels.

Some companies, like LG and Dell, offerwarranties against burn-inin their displays.

Doing that while mixing LCD and OLED panels is the stuff of nightmares.

Otherwise, you’ll need to adapt your sight every time you switch displays.

That doesn’t mean one or the other panel punch in is more accurate.

Deciding on one throw in of panel over the other goes beyond which one looks better to you.

Not quite as impressive as OLED, but with perhaps fewer shortcomings as IPS panels.
