Depends, but oled panels have improved over the years and burn in risk has reduced compared to 5-6 years ago.

I don't believe they will shift everything to OLED. It is the same as what we see on mobile phones as well. Higher end ones, may be, but at the mid and lower end offering, it is more likely we will be stuck with LCD.

Then that should be the case indeed. The only thing about OLED on big panels used on laptops don't seem to be that good. The brightness tend to be on the low side. For example, the OLED on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ is rated for HDR400 if I am not mistaken. Compared to the likes of TV and mobile phones, I feel there is still a lot of room for improvement in terms of brightness and high refresh rate.

To be honest, I think oled doesn’t need to be so bright to shine well. 400 nits is actually sully more than enough for oled for most people, any higher would also mean higher battery consumption. However, the tech is improving year on year and many consumers are now aware of this display technology, so I believe oled panel monitors, TVs and laptop pricing will come down.

TV you watch it from a distance but not for laptop.

Ok ok. As an owner of OLED version Yoga Slim 7 Pro version. I guess i must write something here.

I got mine from Best Denki for $1709.

There are a couple of versions of the Yoga Slim 7 Pro AMD variant. Hence it might be confusing that why some models are sky rocket 2.2k pricing.

Arranging from lowest end range specs

- 5800H, 16Gb ram, 1tb storage, 2.2k res 60hz IPS display (Harvey Norman exclusive) $1699

- 5800H, 16Gb ram, 1tb storage, 2.8k res 90Hz OLED display (Best Denki Exclusive) $1799

- 5900HX, 16Gb ram, 512Gb/1tb storage, 2.8k res 90Hz IPS display (outside retailing unit) ($1899-$2099)

- 5900HS*, 16Gb ram, 512Gb/1tb storage, 2.8k res 90Hz OLED display, Nvidia MX450 gpu ($2199-2299)

So when Best Denki ran a promo on their model exclusive at $1709, it becomes a no brainer for me to choose this model over the rest of the offerings. Even if there were special coupons online for the rest of the model, i still think Best Denki offerings are better.

And this is the first time i bought an OLED laptop. First off, 400nits is indeed bright enough for me. Even under harsh lighting conditions. I find 400nits are still visible and ok to use.

The one thing i like about OLED display was how colour accurate it was for me in my day to day photoshop and lightroom needs. Best of all, whatever the edits i did, surprisingly turns out well on mobile devices also. Unlike my previous Asus Zephyrus G14 which it claims that there is a Pantone validated display etc. A gaming laptop is a gaming laptop, the colour shifted greatly when you view it on any mobile devices. So that is one aspects why i love my yoga 7 slim pro more.

There is another reason why OLED. The ability to switch off pixels for black. Hence you dont get to see bandings on some black backgrounds which you can see clearly on IPS displays especially for movies.

But do be warn. The battery milleage is heavily reliant on dark theme mode. If you switch to dark theme mode, your battery milleage may be better. Choosing a light theme mode, you will noticed, even on lower brightness, OLED still consume more power than IPS despite being on the lower brightness settings.

The Yoga 7 slim pro that i had, grows on me every day. Due to the vibrancy of it, the colours coming out from it, the fluid 90Hz panel. I have no complains. Just love it.

Im also well aware of the burn in issues. But i believe if my samsung phones oled ones can last 3 years before a slight burn in can be seen. I think OLED technology is definitely there to mitigate this issue. Time will tell, perhaps 2 years down the road, i shall take note and see my Yoga 7 slim pro again.

I hope there will be more and more OLED options out there soon.
