The 5 best OLED laptops to buy in 2019

OLED, short for “Organic Light Emitting Diode,” has taken center stage in ever-evolving display technology as major manufacturers gravitate towards this trend. Instead of using the backlight technology evident in LCD displays, OLED displays feature individual pixels that create their own light. The result is spectacular images and perfect blacks that LCD screens cannot produce.

Here's our list of the five best OLED laptops you'll find on the market.

OLED screens have gained traction in recent years, due to their spectacular color production, deep blacks and high contrast. However, unlike LCDs, OLED panels are more difficult to manufacture, which partly explains why only a few players have fully adopted the technology. As a result, OLED laptops come with a high price tag, which is a major concern for many consumers.
