MSI to present laptop with Mini-LED LCD DisplayHDR1000 / 100% DCI-P3
I have high hopes for miniLED, lighting based on many small LEDs behind a panel also known as Mini LED (not micro-LED). This can run up to hundreds if not thousands of small LEDs behind that LCD panel, lighting up tiny segments of the screen that need to be lit.
This method of local dimming would be good for more accurate HDR reproduction and high contrasts. How many LEDs MSI (likely AOC panel) will place behind a panel, is not yet known. And now MSI is about to unveil a new, unprecedented content creation laptop at CES: The Creator 17. The Creator 17 is the world's very first laptop to come with new revolutionary technology, the Mini LED display.
Mini LED is a game-changing technology that has the potential to be used on all electronic displays. It has a simpler structure with better performance, combining all the strengths of other display technologies. Until now, Mini LED has only been used in some TVs, but with leading global display manufacturers shifting production focus to Mini LED, its estimated market value has reached a staggering $1 billion USD, and it's expected to be adopted by a variety of industries within the next few years, from laptops to smartphones. For creators who want outstanding image quality with great 4K HDR performance and terrific brightness, Mini LED is the logical choice for their next laptop. Foreseeing the demand from professionals and future trends, MSI has once again taken a lead role in the laptop industry by choosing Mini LED as their display for content creators.
The Creator 17's 17-inch display boasts a peak brightness of 1,000 nits and Mini LED backlighting. This technology enables 240 zones of local dimming control, delivering the vibrant visuals with the brightest whites and deepest blacks with sharper, more detailed imagery. Critically, the Mini LED is also immune to burn-in problems.

So it's essentially FALD for laptop screens. I'll take it! As long as there are enough zones, it should be a huge improvement over any edge-lit displays.
It would be nice, but 240 seems like a good starting point for 15" and 17" screens. Most affordable 65" TVs don't break 120 zones (those that do cost $$$$). 240 zones on a small laptop screen will likely have little to no haloing or weird transitions.
