Title: Apple's shift to OLED could end the Mini LED era for premium laptops
Post by: Redaktion on April 09, 2026, 12:18:43
Counterpoint's new report says that the notebook display market faces a 5 percent decline in 2026 due to memory inflation, but OLED shipments will surge 33 percent as Apple will unveil the MacBook Pro line with the newer panel tech by next year - 2027.

Nothing wrong with mini-led and no worries about screen burn-in or PWM flickering. OLED just brings big hike.

It would be more correct to say that the typical mini-led laptop panel has much higher pwm compared to oled rather than saying it has no pwm at all.

I'm going to predict a significant boost in battery life to MacBooks once they make the switch.
