Right now, the rumor mill is saying that an Dell XPS 13 refresh in July/August will be the first laptop to use this 13" 1800p Tandem OLED panel. That does track, as Dell has traditionally been one to use new, high-end display tech in their XPS line.
Also, although this article does not mention it, this LG Display Tandem OLED in question is *only* 60GHz, so it is NOT equivalent to the ones in the new iPad Pro range as those can do 1-120Hz VRR. This is another reason why the Dell XPS is likely, as it wouldn't be a good fit for a Razer Blade (or other high-end gaming brand) notebook refresh being only 60Hz.
I tried searching online, but can't find anything telling me what OLED shimmering is. Flickering, due to PWM, sure, but that's got nothing to do with the refresh rate or VRR.
Yeah, that's what I meant. OLED flicker. It has EVERYTHING to do with VRR. If you turn off VRR on OLED, it should never flicker. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_ZMmMWi_yA
well at least it's kind of close to being able to display 4*3 content with integer scaling. you can do 8x9 and get and aspect ratio of 1.4, which is close enough for me
where did the article mention how many nits this one single monitor panel has? it just has a certification that happens to require 500, that's no reason to extrapolate the entire tech's possibilities

60 max is a bummer.But OLED VRR is a mixed bag due to shimmering.

Ah, I'm used to reading about backlight flicker then, I guess.vol.2 - Tuesday, June 25, 2024 - link

What about LG 5k2k 144 Hz monitor that supposed to be launched this year?web2dot0 - Wednesday, June 26, 2024 - link
Not delivering 1000nits makes tandem OLED useless.We already have regular OLED at 400-500nits
Apple will not implement shitty thing like that until it hits 1000nits like iPadPro M4

It’s not getting HDR1000 certification is all you neee to know 😂Trackster11230 - Wednesday, June 26, 2024 - link
Wouldn't it still mean longer pixel lifespan even at 500 bits, since each layer can be run at lower power?Trackster11230 - Wednesday, June 26, 2024 - link
*Nits
