LG brings tandem OLED panels to laptops, claiming three times the brightness and double the lifespan of current self-emissive screens

All of us in the PC Gamer office love great OLED displays for gaming, thanks to their super fast response times, wonderfully rich colours, and superior HDR performance. What we're not so keen on is the fact that none of them are very bright and there's always the issue of how long they'll last before burn-in ruins them. Well, LG has announced a new OLED display for laptops that aims to solve those two problems in one…by using two OLED panels.

The tech has the simple name of tandem OLED and if you think that you've heard of this before, then you'll be right—Apple has implemented the system in its recently updated iPad Pro range. Whether those tablets are using LG's panels isn't clear as Apple is known to use Samsung for display screens, as well as LG, but I should imagine it won't be long before Samsung offers its own tandem screens.
