Brightness, color gamut, and color accuracy are all superior! Let's see from real-world testing why OLED is better than IPS.

In recent years, OLED screen laptops have become increasingly common and affordable. Some people appreciate the vibrant colors, high brightness, and comfortable viewing experience of OLED, while others dislike it because the high brightness and color saturation can cause eye strain during prolonged use. Overall, however, OLED screens offer significantly better display quality than IPS screens, and if possible, upgrading to an OLED laptop is highly recommended.

So, what exactly makes OLED screens so superior? Let's take a look at our tests using the Dell Pro 14 Premium OLED screen version.

OLED screens offer significantly better color accuracy than LCD screens.

Below are the test data for the OLED screen on the Dell Pro 14 Premium. As you can see, in sRGB color gamut mode, its average color accuracy ΔE is 0.63, with a maximum of 1.75; in Display P3 color gamut mode, the average color accuracy ΔE is 0.6, with a maximum of 1.76. Overall, the performance is excellent, and color reproduction is remarkably accurate.

OLED displays offer a fast response time, clean and crisp visuals without ghosting.

As shown in the image above, each small flying saucer on the OLED screen slides from left to right without noticeable ghosting. On the other hand, the same refresh rate on an LCD screen results in more noticeable ghosting. This is a major advantage of OLED screens.

OLED screens far surpass LCD screens in color gamut coverage and color gamut volume.

Taking the Dell Pro 14 Premium OLED screen as an example, in native color gamut mode, the OLED screen achieves 100% sRGB color gamut coverage and 169.4% color gamut volume; and 99.9% DCI P3 color gamut coverage and 120% color gamut volume.

In sRGB color gamut mode, the sRGB color gamut coverage is 99.9%, and the color gamut volume is 102.2%, which meets the sRGB color gamut coverage and color gamut volume range for OLED displays (color gamut coverage > 98%; color gamut volume 98~110%).

In Display P3 mode, the DCI P3 color gamut coverage is 99.4%, and the color gamut volume is 107.1%, meeting the standards for OLED screens (color gamut coverage >95%; color gamut volume 98~110%).

OLED screens also excel in display brightness.

For example, the Dell Pro 14 Premium OLED screen is DisplayHDR True Black 600 certified, and its measured brightness reaches 614.52 nits.

As those familiar with screen technology know, brightness is fundamental to screen quality; without sufficient brightness, even the highest color gamut and color accuracy cannot be fully realized.

Currently, many laptops have already incorporated 600-nit brightness OLED screens into their products, and the next step may be towards even higher brightness levels of 1000 nits, at which point laptop screen quality will reach a new level.
