Today we"re testing a monitor, but it"s not the usual sort of monitor review. Rather, we"re looking at a laptop display because it"s super interesting - it"s one of the few OLED laptop screens going around, and from testing this display we can learn a lot about how OLED might be suited to PC displays and how it compares to the LCD panels we"ve been using for a while now.
If you"re not very familiar with OLED technology, we can"t blame you. It"s extremely uncommon to see an OLED paired with a PC. There have been a few laptops and monitors over the years to dabble in OLED, but up until now the technology has been largely kept to high-end TVs from the likes of LG and a wide range of premium smartphones. In 2019 OLED is making a jump over to PCs through a new 15.6-inch OLED display for laptops and a few interesting professional OLED monitors for creators.
OLED is fundamentally different to LCD. Rather than having a white backlight shine through liquid crystals to form colors like in an LCD, OLED pixels emit their own light, so they act as both the backlight and the crystal at the same time. This has significant benefits: OLEDs can have much higher contrast ratios, better viewing angles, better HDR performance, better color performance, and in some situations lower power consumption because each pixel can be individually controlled. The main downside right now is image retention, which we"ll talk more about later.
The OLED panel used on this laptop is a brand new offering from Samsung"s AMOLED division. A 15.6-inch 4K 60 Hz panel with VESA DisplayHDR 400 True Black certification - indicating we"re getting true HDR performance - as well as 100% DCI-P3 coverage. Not 90%, not 95%, but 100% DCI-P3 coverage, which is kind of hard to achieve with LCD technology.
OLED screens operate differently to LCDs in that they often have a brightness limiter that controls how bright the display gets based on the average picture level of the content it"s displaying. In contrast, LCDs will usually be capable of the same brightness in their SDR mode regardless of whether they are displaying a 100% white window, or a 1% white window.
This new laptop OLED doesn"t suffer much from brightness limits. While displaying a full white window, the panel was easily able to achieve 390 nits of brightness, which is higher than most common laptop LCDs. This then increases to above 470 nits when the APL falls to 10% or lower. This difference between high and low APL brightness isn"t all that severe and should be largely unnoticeable during use which is great news.
The contrast ratio is, of course, impressive. That"s because OLED panels switch off entirely when displaying black content, so the contrast ratio is effectively infinite. This gives OLEDs noticeably deeper blacks than LCDs and because the blacks are so deep and the contrast ratio is so high, it makes colors pop as a result. OLEDs don"t suffer from any backlight bleed or IPS glow issues that are otherwise inherent to LCD panels. For viewing dark content, like that one episode in the final season of Game of Thrones, there is no better display to have than an OLED.
OLEDs also have outstanding viewing angles, better than IPS and significantly better than TN LCDs. There is basically zero shift to brightness or colors when viewing this display at acute angles, to the point where you can basically see everything perfectly from any reasonable angle. This helps significantly with content creation: you don"t need to sit in a "sweet spot" to see accurate colors, because colors are accurate from most angles.
Out of the box, the DCI-P3 color space covered was a little disappointing at just 95.6%. It"s kinda funny saying disappointing here given most LCDs can only hit 96% in the best cases, but Gigabyte did say 100% coverage and it falls a little short here... or does it?
While not a huge issue for content creation, gamers will be excited about the response times here: I measured consistent times between 1.6 and 1.7ms, which honestly is a little slow compared to the best LG OLED TVs that can transition faster than 1.0ms. But this blows any LCD out of the water. Even "1ms" rated LCDs are often more like 3ms in practice, so this is another area where OLED dominates LCD.
Looking at the HDR checklist you can see it passes all the key metrics for true HDR performance. We"re getting a high peak brightness of 600 nits, which looks even brighter with an OLED given its deep blacks. There"s per pixel local dimming, which is better than any current LCD can achieve, even those with FALD backlights. And then there"s a massive gamut, wider than most displays out there. Essentially, this is one of the best HDR displays for PC on the market, it"s insane.
We watched some HDR video on this laptop while simultaneously viewing it on a LG OLED TV and the experience was very similar. Slight edge goes to the LG OLED as it can get a bit brighter but ultimately we were blown away by the quality of this OLED for HDR video. It"s miles ahead of the nearest LCD.
The only downside to this OLED panel is one that remains a bit up in the air: image retention. OLEDs have come a long way in this department, but it"s unclear how this specific Samsung AMOLED will handle long periods of use with static content. We know that LG"s OLED TVs, for example, take a long time to burn in, however the tech used there is slightly different to Samsung"s AMOLED.
For now we just don"t know how this panel will stand up to the test of time. Smartphones can have a lot of static content as well and the latest models seem to do quite well, often using Samsung AMOLED tech. But Windows 10 usage is a step above and it doesn"t have the same mitigations as Android, so this will be something to keep an eye on. We don"t want to say it will definitely burn in over time, but there"s a chance and you should be aware of it before purchasing.

TRU-Vu High Bright Sunlight Readable Monitors enable users to see clear, sharp video images even in direct sunlight with a bright screen. Our high brightness screens produce at least 1,000 nits brightness. Some go up to 2,500 nits of brightness. This makes them far brighter than standard LCD monitors. Specifically, consumer or commercial-grade monitors typically offer only 150 to 300 nits brightness. High brightness displays and sunlight readable touch screens will ensure crystal-clear video images even in bright sunlight. The result is better performance and bold colors in other high ambient light conditions as well. They are also available with optical bonding as monitors or touch screen displays.
In outdoor or bright conditions, it is imperative to increase the brightness of a display to ensure crisp images. The number of nits an LCD display emits is the main factor in determining the monitor’s perceived brightness. A monitor luminance of around 200-350 nits will work well indoors. Most LCD displays and monitors fall in this range. However, 400-700 nits would be required for use in daylight conditions. Most importantly, a Sunlight readable display requires at least 1,000 nits or more for viewing in direct, bright sunlight . These high brightness displays are available with 16:9 aspect ratio or 4:3 aspect ratio screens. All TRU-Vu Sunlight Readable monitors and high-brightness touch screens are TAA Compliant.
Some monitors feature a sheet of glass over the LCD panel to protect it from accidental or intentional damage. However, the glass also produces unwanted glare and reflections. Internal reflections in the air gap between the glass and the LCD panel diminish image quality even further. In order to combat this, monitors are optically bonded.
Optical bondingis the process of laminating protective glass or a touch screen panel to the LCD panel with an optical-grade resin. This completely fills the air gap between the glass and LCD panel. It not only eliminates the internal reflections, but also increases the contrast ratio. This makes the screen appear much brighter and more viewable in bright light conditions. Optical bonding also eliminates internal moisture and condensation. Moreover, it will make the monitor more rugged and durable. Lastly, an Anti-Reflective coating is applied to the outside of the glass. Consequently, this will drastically reduce glare and surface reflections.
For installations in indirect sunlight, or reflected bright light, our Daylight Viewable displays will most likely suffice. These are also more cost-effective than Sunlight Readable monitors with 1,000 nits brightness. Daylight viewable monitors feature LCD screens with 400 nits to 700 nits brightness. The LCD panels also include optical bonding.
Our outdoor high brightness Sunlight Readable LCD monitors feature waterproof stainless steel enclosures. These are ideal for factory wash-down environments. Additionally, they are perfect for outside use in challenging weather. Our panel mount enclosures are made from steel, stainless steel, or aluminum. This enables them to be flush-mounted. Outdoor LCD monitors with high brightness work in a wider range of temperatures. Consequently, this broadens the environments in which they may be used. Additionally, temperature ranges are very important to consider when using outdoors. When we combine extreme operating temperatures with outdoor waterproof enclosures, we ensure your high brightness monitors will be able to function in even the harshest wet and hot environments. We will also modify or customize any model to meet your exact requirements.
In conclusion, we deploy TRU-Vu outdoor waterproof sunlight readable monitors and high brightness touch screens in a wide range of industries. For example, military, law enforcement, manufacturing plants benefit from high bright LCD displays. Amusement parks, sports stadiums, mass transit, and construction & heavy equipment also rely on high bright sunlight readable displays. In addition, outdoor high brightness LCD monitors are demanded in pipeline inspection, kiosks, marine, oil & gas, drones, security applications. When it counts, you can rely on TRU-Vu Monitors to deliver the optimal weather resistant high bright LCD monitor solution for your specific needs.
Through improvements in LCD parts and materials, monitor weight has been reduced over earlier models, making it easier to transport and install the display.
Short on cash, but still want quality? Despite its affordable price, this 15.6-inch monitor still boasts a Full HD resolution, and it uses IPS display tech. So you can expect consistent color and contrast, along with wide viewing angles; although note that this is 160 degrees rather than the usual 178 you"d expect from an IPS display.
Is a touchscreen your priority when it comes to buying a portable monitor? Then here"s our top recommendation. ViewSonic"s15.6-inch TD1655 is only 15mm thick and weighs in at a mere 800g, but still gives you premium IPS display tech that promises wide viewing angles and consistent contrast.
If you"re looking for the ultimate in image quality from your portable monitor, you"ll find it here... at a price. This 15.6-inch, 4K touchscreen offers high color accuracy (100% DCI-P3) , exceptional contrast (100000:1) and a near-limitless range of colors (1.07 billion). You get a refresh rate of 60Hz, a 100,000:1 contrast ratio, a response time of 1ms and a brightness of 400 nits.
That said, don"t go thinking this will give you a larger preview area relative to toolbars and pallets alongside. The display resolution is still Full HD 1920 x 1080, so compared to a 15.6-inch portable monitor with the same resolution, the ROG Strix simply displays everything a little bit bigger.
But raw size isn"t the only feature here. The 240Hz refresh rate is designed for super-smooth video playback and gaming, and the IPS panel boasts a seriously impressive 1,000:1 contrast ratio, along with 100% sRGB color space coverage and factory color calibration. There are stereo speakers up front as well. Positioning options are also well catered for, with a small tabletop tripod thrown in, along with a Smart Cover that doubles as a prop stand.
The 12.5 inches screen diameter isn"t exactly spacious, but the 1920 x 1080 resolution does make it very sharp, and it uses IPS screen tech that should give reliable color and contrast. That makes it a great choice for photo viewing and editing. The 300 cd/m2 brightness is also respectable, as is the frugal 4.5W power consumption. And despite requiring the extra hardware bracket to attach to your monitor, weight is still impressively low at 748g.
If portability is paramount for you, this 14-inch monitor may be the best pick for you, as it"s slightly smaller than most of its rivals, and the screen is also a wafer-thin 15mm. Thankfully, you don"t get a lower screen resolution: this is still a Full HD 1920 x 1080 panel, translating to super-crisp image quality due to the relatively small display area.
Here"s another great portable monitor for those on a tight budget. Its 15.6-inch, anti-glare IPS screen offers smooth 60hz frame rates, Full HD high resolution, and a 178-degree viewing angle. And it"s easy to set up, with its two USB-C ports and mini HDMI port allowing you to connect it with your Windows laptop, Macbook, smartphone, Raspberry Pi, Xbox, Switch, or PlayStation.
The Samsung SDCA029 is an impressive panel by nearly any standard of measure, and it looks like it"s up to the task of being used by almost every OLED laptop available this year.
Wide colour-gamut, lightning-fast response times, stunning contrast and brightness, and excellent viewing angles will be the main advantages of picking up a laptop with this panel. Perfectionists (such as ourselves) will also likely appreciate the even illumination and lack of IPS-glow and backlight bleed.
However, there are a few caveats that are currently unavoidable: PWM will potentially cause problems for those with sensitive eyes, and we can only recommend those who experience eye-strain, headaches, or other symptoms of PWM-sensitivity to avoid OLED laptops until this limitation can be overcome. As 60 Hz refresh rate may be limiting to those who are looking for the best panel for fast-paced games, and we must still recommend a fast 144 or 240 Hz IPS or IPS-like display for this purpose.
Lastly, we are unable to speak with authority on the longevity of this technology in general. Though we have not been able to reproduce such faults in our testing of more recent panels, it is known that earlier and less mature OLED panels suffered from burn-in and subpixel decay. It is likely that manufacturers (especially Samsung, who is the most experienced OLED producer in the world due to being early adopters of the technology) have taken steps to mitigate these issues through design and manufacturing over the years. Still, only time and mass adoption can truly tell.
Samsung has so far avoided producing OLED displays like those of LG. So, instead of striking a deal to use LG’s panels, Samsung branded its own LCD tech “QLED.” For a detailed breakdown, check out our QLED TV versus OLED TV comparison, but the general gist is this: QLED uses quantum dots to enhance performance by producing a purer, full-spectrum white light than LEDs are capable of on their own. In practice, QLED televisions are brighter (better for bright rooms) than less-expensive LCD TVs, and unlike OLED, can be more affordably built into large displays (100 inches and beyond).
OLED — Organic Light Emitting Diode — is the premier display technology today. OLED TV panels are capable of reaching black levels never before seen, with better contrast across the board, and because the pixels themselves light up, OLED televisions boast quicker response times (and less input lag) than other types of displays, and the picture integrity is stunning at any viewing distance. To see how OLED stacks up against regular old LED, take a look at our OLED vs. LED comparison.
Sony is one of a handful of companies offering OLED televisions (the list has recently expanded to include Panasonic, Philips, Hisense, and Vizio) thanks to a deal with LG allowing Sony to build TVs using LG panels. Due to the Cognitive Processor XR chip, Sony’s Bravia flagship TVs offer greater contrast, improved sound, low input lag, and faster web performance than we’ve ever seen. Sony’s newer TVs also offer VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) for gaming, particularly with the PlayStation 5.
TCL isn’t the only company making Roku TVs — Insignia, Sharp, and Hisense do the same, among other manufacturers — but it has been the most successful so far. From the affordable Roku Express to the Roku Streambar, the Roku TV platform’s vast selection (5,000+) of channels and its snappy cross-app search function are second to none. Roku’s smart TV user interface is a little less slick than webOS or Tizen, but we think it works better, and it’s more straightforward.
Additionally, TCL expanded into Google TV territory last year with theirpopular 5- and 6-Series panels equipped with the latest Google TV operating system. While the new sets were briefly pulled from U.S. Best Buy shelves due to software issues, a fix was issued and the retailer now stocks the popular TVs again.
Chinese manufacturer Hisense has been steadily making moves in the TV market over the years, licensing Sharp’s brand name(and buying its North American factory outright in 2015), buying Toshiba’s business in 2017, and making TVs under all three names for the U.S. market. Hisense had a rocky start but found a rhythm in making value-conscious Quantum 4K panels. In fact, their quality has improved so much that one of the latest versions, the Hisense U7G with HDR support, is one of our new recommended picks for a TV under $1,000 — and it has new, affordable 8K TVs now as well.
With choices between Roku, Google TV, Fire TV, and more, buyers can pick the smart platform they like here, with plenty of options for budget-friendly purchases. The company is also making use of its TriChroma laser tech for improved color accuracy, and “ULED” panel technology to enhance images. Its latest Google TV picks also offer mini-LED panels, while the U6H Fire comes with Quantum Dot color, so you also have plenty of panel technologies to choose from. The latest 2022 models even have FreeSync and Game Mode Plus for gamers.
As with Samsung, Vizio is big on quantum-dot-powered panels. This is especially evident for the brand’s 2022 models, especially when it comes to the MQX and P-Series Quantum X series. And on top of quantum-enhanced colors and contrast, while you won’t find mini-LED tech on these 2022 models, the sheer number of traditional LED local dimming zones that are in place make for a totally arresting image packed with brightness, color detail, lifelike contrast, and minimal light blooming.
The Chromebook 2’s highlight feature is its finish: It comes in a bright “fiesta red” that will certainly stand out wherever you’re using it. (There’s a gray option as well, if you’d prefer something subtle.) It’s also the first Chromebook ever to feature one of Samsung’s QLED panels. QLED isn’t OLED — it’s just a fancier LED — but it still makes for one of the most gorgeous displays I’ve ever seen on a Chromebook.
Day-to-day, this laptop is quite usable for light work and leisure. It has a sharp, bright 11-inch screen and a surprisingly comfortable keyboard and touchpad. The battery life is close to all-day. But the real draw of this device is its portability — it’s just 2.09 pounds with the keyboard attached, making it quite convenient to carry around and whip out to use on the go.
