Razer has partnered with Samsung to slap a particularly impressive display on its new generation of Blade 16 gaming laptops. Showcased for the first time at CES, the brand has unveiled the first 240Hz OLED panel and it sits pretty on the 2024 16-inch iteration. The screen packs a 0.2ms response time with VESA certified DisplayHDR True Black and a 1M: 1 contrast ratio. Not only that, but this (and all Blade laptop panels for 2024) are Calman certified for 100% DCI-P3.
OLED screens have graced some of the best gaming laptops before now, but they've typically been more of a beauty feature for content creators than a performance-friendly addition. Yes, the contrast is incredible and it makes for some of the most immersive gameplay in the business, but if the speed can't keep up - which historically it hasn't - then the overall experience is going to be hampered. If Razer and Samsung really have cracked the code here, we could be seeing the first of many OLED panels on high performance machines.
