A bit of offtopic: Mini LED screens honestly are disappointing for me to some degree. The blooming is a real thing and I can see it every time there is bright content on dark background. I do accept it because there is no other better option really. I can see this blooming both on MacBook Pro 16 M1 Max and on iPad Pro 12.9. It looks especially bad when bright contents moves slowly, you can see those backlight zones edges and you can observe one zone gets turned off and other on. Awful.
I also own Gigabyte AERO 15 OLED laptop and I must admit I prefer this screen over Apple's. White text on black looks amazing and to be honest feels a bit magical, like a thing floating in the air, especially if I look on this screen in a dark room. Code, terminal content looks amazing. It's only 60Hz though, but for mostly static coding 60Hz is enough. Ubuntu works really well, so I don't have to deal with Windows for programming work if I don't have to.
I'm tempted to buy LG OLED 27EP950, it's expensive, but honestly I'd pay those money to reproduce Gigabyte AERO 15 OLED experience on 27 screen. But I know it won't happen, because LG screen will have worse pixel density, it's only 4K. It should be 5K at least, or even 5.5K or even 6K.

- zzt123 5y agoProblem with OLED is the 240hz PWM, which is present in the AERO as well. For instance, on my iPhone 13 Pro, I can see the on-off-on-off clearly once I’m below 20% brightness. The eye strain of oled is terribly annoying. I agree with you on the blooming, but there are no options today that scratch all itches.
- adriancr 5y agoAre all laptops with oled using pwm? Some amoled phones are using dc dimming...
- zzt123 5y agoI’m only aware of the Gigabyte Aero (240hz), Dell XPS 13 (240hz), Dell XPS 15 (60hz!?), and Razer Blade 15 (60hz!?). I wasn’t aware some AMOLED phones use dc dimming. I would love to have that. It’s so weird looking at your phone and seeing the screen turn on and off repeatedly.
- cmckn 5y agoThese Apple displays were rumored to be microLED, and I was incredibly bummed to find out they’re just an iteration of regionally-backlit LCD’s. OLED is definitely the best option for contrast, and I’ve had no luck finding an OLED monitor that wouldn’t bankrupt me. I bought a couple Dell U2720Q instead, and they’re great; until something more compelling is available. https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/dell-ultrasharp-27-4k-usb-c-monitor-u2720q/apd/210-avjv/monitors-monitor-accessories https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/dell-ultrasharp-27-4k-u...
