Title: Gaming handheld with great 144 Hz OLED and detachable controllers - Lenovo Legion Go 2 review
Post by: Redaktion on February 14, 2026, 11:27:08
Lenovo is stepping things up by equipping its gaming handheld with a high-quality OLED panel and the AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme. The detachable controllers are still included. However, the price comes in at a hefty €1,499 (approx. $1,777), making it one of the most expensive handhelds on the market.

You can't put PWM flickering as a negative when it's always the inherent disadvantage of OLED screens, no matter how "bright" the colour is. Lenovo should really make a cheaper version of Legion Go 2 with the ever-reliable IPS LCD panel. You can still get great colour on IPS LCD panels with the right calibration.

Yes you can. 1. Don't suffer no matter advantages. 2. There are plenty of screens with no PWM. 3. There are plenty of OLED screens with no PWM.

The article mentions there is no PWM flickering above 85%, how was this achieved? My unit seems to have PWM flickering even at 100% brightness, could it be a panel variance or related to drivers or OS?
