Samsung Display to Introduce First 90Hz OLED Laptop Display
Samsung Display Chief Executive Officer Joo Sun Choi said that the company will initially produce very large quantities of 14-inch, 90Hz OLED displays destined for laptops and notebooks, beginning in March.
“OLED display panels can best satisfy the diverse consumer needs for laptops used in telework, online education, video streaming, and gaming,” the company said.
Samsung Display said it is helping to introduce a major shift in the market as it collaborates closely with global manufacturers to achieve a new level of excellence for refresh rates in laptops, beginning this year.
Samsung Display believes consumers will quickly warm to the opportunity to purchase OLED displays offering a 90Hz refresh rate, even though the OLED panels require the use of a high-spec. graphics card. In rendering static images 90 times a second, they will make movements look much more lifelike, or snappier, from a color perspective. As such, the new refresh rate updates changes in motion more often, allowing for smoother-looking visuals that appear virtually seamless to the viewer.
- The Samsung 90Hz OLED (organic light emitting diode) display offers high-speed driving performance on par with that of 120Hz LCD
- Several global IT companies are expected to release new laptops or notebooks with 90Hz OLED screens this year
In a seeming contradiction, OLED displays are able to transition from one screen to the next much more quickly than LCD screens with the same refresh rate. As a result, OLED screens can make gaming and movie watching a more vibrant, pleasurable experience, without compromise. Their 90Hz OLED refresh rate is actually 10X the fastest screen response time on the market today. In fact, the 90Hz OLED display offers high-speed driving that is actually on par with that of 120Hz LCD screens.
Samsung Display tested blur length using the same motion picture of a fast driving car and found that the image drag of 90Hz OLED and 120Hz high refresh rate LCD screens is 0.9mm and 1mm, respectively. In short, 90Hz OLED screens smear amazingly little, at practically the same rate as a 120Hz LCD

It makes sense to use oled for laptops , imo.
The picture quality will be very good , we are still long way from micro led so this is the best we can get right now .
And btw it's funny how even Samsung is starting to go oled .
They've been using AMOLED for the longest time. It only makes sense for them to produce larger displays with OLED seeing how the market wants it.

Hertz are Hertz, response time is response time. Claim that 90Hz OLED equals 120Hz anything else is false.
(Unless that something else has over 11ms response time. And that's like some archaic trash.)
I wonder how many people forgot about horrid frame to frame transitions with oldest of LCDs. Because I did not

Not quite. 3:29
I know my new phone IPS 60hz isn't as fast as the 60hz AMOLED the former one had. But at 144hz the IPS is more responsive than the 60hz AMOLED.
