Samsung Display OLED delivers immersive visuals with true to life colors, deep blacks, and high contrasts. Beyond showing a wider, richer range of colors, OLED displays are thinner, lighter, and improve portability when built into laptops. On average, OLED displays and 1mm thin, while LCD displays are 3mm.
Unlike other displays, OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) displays use self-lit pixels that individually emit their own light. Ideal for gamers and creators, these PC displays deliver ultra-smooth performance, precise color accuracy, and immersive details that enhance gaming and content creation workloads.
OLED displays are in a league of their own when it comes to displaying colors, contrast, and true blacks.
While other displays use a backlit panel, OLEDs switch each individual pixel on and off, enabling greater contrast of more than 1 million:1. These displays create the truest shade of black by turning pixels off, allowing dark scenes to appear more detailed. With LCDs using a backlit panel, blacks on those displays can look washed out or grey due to light leakage, creating contrast of 2,000:1.
OLED displays show a wider and richer range of colors covering about 120% of the DCI-P3 color volume. This professional color standard is used in movies, meaning colors on OLEDs look more accurate, vibrant, and life-like. Meanwhile, traditional LCDs can only show around 70% of the DCI-P3 color volume, sometimes making colors look muted or less realistic.
Gameplay is truly brought to life with OLED displays’ high color accuracy and vivid hues that make every game world feel alive, from glowing neon cities to lush forests. Since each pixel can turn on or off to create more detailed dark areas, gamers can see dark corners, shadows, or even hidden characters more easily in games. With each pixel being able to be turned off, OLED provides excellent visibility in any gray level.
For creators, OLED displays better highlight small details in dark and bright areas, making it easier to edit. Plus, the wide color range brings every shade to life, so your content looks just as you imagined.
OLED displays support creators and games with a variety of helpful surface features, such as touch-screen capabilities, pooling free displays, and an anti-glare polarizer.
With OCTA (On-Cell Touch AMOLED) technology, OLED displays offer touch-screen capabilities to users for a more interactive experience. With this design, touch sensors are built directly into the OLED display itself rather than being added as a separate touch-sensitive layer on top.
For content creators, using an OLED touch screen makes tasks like design, illustration, and editing easier and more precise, with smooth, responsive interactions.
Unlike LCDs, which temporarily “bruise” after you touch the screen, OLED displays don’t show any pooling or pressure marks. Because each pixel produces its own light, they’re unaffected by touch, so using a stylus or your finger has no impact on the display. Pooling free displays ensure smooth, distortion free interaction, letting customers edit and draw on the screens without risk of their display degrading.
Some laptops featuring OLED displays have form factors that can turn into a tablet, letting you use your fingers or a stylus more easily to create content. For these users, the pooling free display is extra effective as the screen won’t show any contact marks or distortions.
The OLED Anti-glare Polarizer is a special layer added to the screen that reduces shiny reflections from lights or windows. Cutting down on glare makes the display easier to view in bright lighting, so it's easier to see dark details more clearly and stay immersed.
OLED displays have faster response times when compared to traditional LCD displays.
LCD displays rely on a backlit panel and liquid crystals that take longer to adjust and let light through, which can occasionally create a blurred or stuttered effect.
On average, LCD’s response time is 2ms.
OLED displays are composed of pixels that can turn on or off almost instantly.
This means that each tiny dot of light on screen can change its brightness or color very quickly.
OLED’s response time is 0.2ms, which is 10 times faster than LCD.
OLED displays are sharper and clearer than LCD at same refresh rate. This is proven by VESA’s ClearMR certification, which states that at 120Hz, OLED laptop’s motion speed is same as an 165Hz LCD laptop.

High refresh rates and quick pixel response make gameplay smooth, so fast-paced scenes in games still appear clear and detailed. Gamers rely on high FPS for racing, esports, and more, so a self-lit display can improve overall performance.
Clear motion means no blur or lag when working on editing videos or creating animations. Every detail is easy to spot, helping creators make projects that look professional and polished.
As PC users know, extensive periods of exposure to blue light can be harmful to the eyes. In particular, blue light in the deep range of 415nm-455nm can cause eye strain and trouble sleeping.
OLED displays are made with organic materials that produce their own light, unlike LCDs that rely on a backlight. Some of these organic compounds are specially designed to emit less harmful deep blue light while still keeping colors bright and vibrant.
Exposure to less harmful blue light reduces eye strain during extended gaming sessions, so gamers can stay focused longer. It also protects their eyes from fatigue that can slow reactions or make late-night gaming uncomfortable.
With less harmful blue light, creators can work comfortably on projects for extended periods. Their eyes stay fresher, helping them edit, design, and create without strain or fatigue.
OLED displays can sometimes be thought of as high consumption displays, but their energy usage depends heavily on what’s shown on screen. Each pixel produces its own light, so black or dark areas use no power, unlike LCDs where the backlight is always on. Bright content draws more power, but dark or mixed scenes use minimal power.
OLEDs further improve efficiency with low-frequency refresh rates and OPR, which adjusts each pixel based on what’s displayed.
Coming at the end of 2025, a new feature called SmartPower HDR reduces power consumption when watching HDR content. It does this by detecting the maximum brightness needed and adjusting the voltage in real time, letting you enjoy vivid HDR visuals while saving energy.
ELP helps save battery on OLED displays by slightly dimming the edges of the screen. The change is subtle enough that users won’t notice it, and they’ll still get a bright, immersive gaming or creating experience while using less power.
Samsung Display OLED deliver true-to-life colors, deep blacks, and high contrast thanks to self-lit pixels that turn on and off individually. These displays offer ultra-smooth motion and fast response times, making them ideal for gamers and creators who need every frame to appear instantly, look smooth, and have no blurring.
Additionally, these displays provide eye care benefits, anti-glare polarizers, and touch-friendly, pooling-free surfaces, ensuring comfort and accuracy during long gaming or creative sessions. With efficient power consumption technologies like OPR, SmartPower HDR, and Edge Luminance Profile, OLED laptops provide vivid, high-performance visuals while saving energy and extending battery life.
