maximizing screen size, Samsung focuses on coming up with better tech in its displays.
Being among the largest manufacturers of OLED displays, it's no surprise that the South Korean tech giant is incorporating the technology into various form factors, from smartphones to TV sets and everything in between. Samsung had been teasing images of laptops that utilize OLED screens as far as back in 2008. Now it seems like the company's finally ready to mass-produce these types of laptop displays.

How Do Samsung's New OLED Displays Benefit Gaming?
Most modern gaming laptops still utilize LCD tech, which might seem adequate enough for most gaming scenarios. However, visuals on LCD screens can exhibit a sort of grayish hue caused by the backlight they constantly emit. This prevents them from showing deeper and sharper colors, as well as making certain scenes appear more artificial and flat compared to displays utilizing OLED technology. Unlike LCD displays, OLED screens don't require any, as since each of their pixels can light up individually, resulting in vivid, vibrant, and more naturally-colored images.
OLED displays don't need to push their refresh rates higher than LCD screens to achieve the same performance and fluid motion. In gaming, this translates to smoother gameplay in which the scene transitions appear more seamless. Colors and particle effects appear crisper and clearer, while lighting appears more natural without the LCD's visually obtrusive backlight. This matters even more in competitive gaming, where every frame counts and any frames lost or screen tearing can be a major disadvantage. Of course, displays consisting of Samsung's OLED technology would also require laptops with powerful processors to be able to take full advantage of the gaming performance benefits it offers.
