But with so many laptop manufacturers building machines with OLED displays this year, I’m assuming that some significant progress has been made on their durability and I’m sure they’ll only get better.
I don’t have the time to research the topic in detail but I’m 100% sold on OLED since I bought an OLED TV 5 years ago. It produces the best image I’ve ever seen and has no burn in or signs of wear. However, I do understand that TVs don’t display as many static pixels as a computer screen would be expected to and the problems that causes, etc.
One person saying this when oled burn-in is well documented doesn’t change that fact. Put your 5yo TV next to a brand new one of the same model and the burn-in on yours will become immediately clear. They do a good job of hiding it with software.
It seems we’re going to have to be far more specific when we say OLED, and it looks like multiple promising display technologies are in the pipeline that will be a great option for Framework and other laptops.
Note that the risk of burns is higher on computer screens, as these are much more likely to display fixed elements, such as the desktop interfaces of operating systems or those of games.
I imagine there are some people that will just accept burn-in / a limited life, in exchange for the colors & blacks that OLED’s grant. Maybe especially with Framework, since the screen is more easily replaceable. Though of course this goes against one of FW’s goals of reducing waste.
Sure, you can replace the screens in other laptops, but it ranges from fairly easy to a small nightmare. So I would think, for many, a laptop’s life is cut short if it’s OLED gets damaged enough.
Indeed, I would be over the moon for an OLED display option! I’m hoping it becomes an option sometime in the near future.
I’ve been using a Lenovo X1 Yoga 1st gen, one of the very first laptops to come with an OLED display, for more than 8 years now. Zero image retention! It’s been amazing
I have a question
I had an msi bravo 15 which came with edp 1.4
My motherboards backlight ic got blown along with motherboard area .
Display works but no backlight
Now I want to know if I can connect oled display ATNA56AC02 to my 40pin on motherboard of laptopas oled has its own backlight
Connect the ATNA56AC02 OLED screen to the Framework Laptop 16 motherboard? Most likely no. OLED’s usually require different voltages, and have different pinouts as well. You’d need to find the ATNA56AC02 pinout to know for sure. The pinout should also include the voltages needed.
I saw the specs and the voltages listed when I googled the ATNA56AC02. You still need to compare to the FWL16. And you need the ATNA56AC02’s complete pinout. Internal display screens do not have properly standardized pinouts. The best there is, is a number of pseudo-standard pinouts. And OLEDs usually do not use the pseudo-standard pinout that the FWL16 display uses.
FWL16 pinout and the voltages present are on Framework’s github.
