Laptop displays have been getting better for the last several years, but 2021 has been a watershed year in laptop quality.
While laptop displays have been improving for several years now, with new technologies like OLED panels becoming increasingly popular, 2021 saw a ramp-up in quality like none in recent memory.
Since then, Asus has introduced the first Windows tablet with an OLED display, the VivoBook 13 Slate, and a slew of other OLED-enabled laptops, including the ZenBook 14X OLED. Not to be outdone, Lenovo released the $500 IdeaPad Duet 5 Chromebook that brought OLED to an affordable Chrome OS tablet. And Dell introduced new OLED versions of the XPS 13 and XPS 15, both of which utilize 16:10 displays in a 3.5K resolution. OLED displays had previously been 4K only.
Apple wasn’t going to be left out, either. It brought its Liquid Retina XDR mini-LED displays to the new MacBook Pro 14 and MacBook Pro 16, offering extreme brightness, colors that rival OLED and QLED, and the same level of deep contrast. MacBooks always had great displays for creative professionals, but the new display technology just made them better.
Even IPS has taken a step forward A more subtle change that I’ve noticed in several recent reviews is that even IPS displays have moved forward in quality. There was a time when there were three levels of IPS display quality. Low-end displays offered narrower colors at around 50% of AdobeRGB and 65% of sRGB, with color accuracy at a DeltaE of 2.0 or more. Contrast ratios came in at well under the 1,000:1 that we consider good enough for blacks to be true black and not gray.
