AltecXP Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I would think that by now there would be a few as AMOLED tends to use less power unless displaying lots of white. With OS X having a "dark mode" and Windows having some dark colors as well why has no one tried one to see how it sells? I'd love to see the battery comparisons.

Michael Scrip Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Good idea. AMOLED is awesome... yet it's far too expensive at the moment for 50" TVs. It would be great for laptops... and even better for battery life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daorbed9 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 AMOLED may still have image retention or burn-in. Not sure if they have gotten rid of it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaos mage Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 The market should be set to expand a lot next year and the following years. I don't know what exactly took them so long, but things look to be finally turning the corner.

adrynalyne Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 This and more battery intensive... samsung phones suffer from this greatly and also blue and white obliterate batteries... With the ability to power only the pixels you need, that should not be the case. I'd say that is just an issue with Samsung phones.

The reason Samsung and Moto use AMOLED is because on average the display uses 10% less power than LED and the new panel in the S5 and Note4 uses 18% less power than the one in the Moto X, Nexus 6, and S4.

PGHammer Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Yup burn in would be the main reason. And there IS the matter of screen-size - even notebooks are larger than tablets. Even with touch-screens, the tech is NOT as advanced in the larger sizes (such as desktop AIOs) compared to merely Ultrabook based notebooks, let alone tablets or phablets), let alone cost of manufacture/price.

epk Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I think it's mostly related to size and its ratio with price. Also, most laptop manufacturers are stingy, reason why we don't see many machines with IPS LCDs or high pixel density displays either (although thanks to Apple the latter has changed a bit).

No. Burn-in, considering you can place another color and it still shows fine, but with a shadow of what is normally there. Pixels don't stack on pixels so.... Burn-out implies those pixels don't show anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixels don't stack on pixels so.... Burn-out implies those pixels don't show anymore. No, it's a burn out, not a total burnout but a slight and gradual burnout. with plasma's it's burn in because bright pixels get "stuck". on a OLED the pixels every time you fire them up(well sub pixels) lose a bit of their life, and as they slowly die the also lose brightness. so areas on the screen that regularly has bright text, like white system text on a phone, will burn out faster making the pixels dimmer. So when you show a white background, the system text show as shadows. on a black screen you won't see it. on a plasma with burn in it's the opposite, TV logo's will show on dark screens, actually they will probably show on anything.

+Nexus18 MVC Posted February 10, 2015 MVC Share Posted February 10, 2015 I believe they are kinda thick (the panel not the screen) at that size to be rigid enough. I think it would end up with a thick laptop to be durable enough to survive daily commutes. I think you meant thin and not thick? OLED is the thinnest display tech. that you can get, it is so thin that Samsung have a flexible OLED mobile display prototype: Can even take a hammering and not break But yes the non-flexible ones might be a bit prone to "cracking" but it will all come down to the build quality of laptops and as you said, increase the thickness a bit, which I would be happy with.
