FAQ · Screens & Displays
OLED or LCD handheld?
OLED gives perfect blacks, per-pixel contrast, and vivid color that make a handheld look premium, especially in a dark room — with two honest caveats: static-HUD burn-in over years, and sometimes lower peak brightness than a good LCD in daylight. A quality high-refresh IPS LCD answers with no burn-in risk, often higher brightness, and a lower price. Judge the specific panel by its nits, refresh rate, and VRR support rather than the acronym; both technologies produce excellent and mediocre screens depending on the implementation.
