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. The OLED panel used on this laptop is a brand new offering from Samsung's AMOLED division. The main downside right now is image retention, which we'll talk more about later. 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. 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. 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. 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. It's extremely uncommon to see an OLED paired with a PC. If you're not very familiar with OLED technology, we can't blame you.

This article will be a full investigation and analysis of this noteworthy OLED display.

We've already covered the RTX 2070 Max-Q and the Core i7-9750H separately, so if you're interested in how they perform, check out those reviews. You also get usual high-end specs including up to 32GB of RAM and 512GB SSDs.īut this is not going to be a full laptop review. Our test unit came with a Core i7-9750H processor and GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q graphics, but this same laptop can be upgraded as high as a Core i9-9980HK and RTX 2080 Max-Q. The laptop we have on hand is the new Gigabyte Aero 15 OLED, a mobile workstation aimed at creators packing a ton of great hardware.

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. Today we're testing a monitor, but it's not the usual sort of monitor review.
