HP at CES 2019: HP Spectre x360 15 Gets AMOLED Display

Stefan Mileschin · 7th January 2019, 06:27

HP plans to release a revamped version of its current-generation Spectre x360 15 convertible laptop with a 15.6-inch AMOLED display this year, the company has revealed ahead of CES. The inclusion of an OLED display makes this a very notable occurrence, as the the laptop will be the latest and largest of a small handful of devices released over the past few years to get such a display.

It goes without saying that the display is among the key hardware components in any laptop, and plays a significant part in determining the overall experience with the device. By using an AMOLED panel instead of a traditional high-quality IPS-based one, HP's top-of-the-range Spectre x360 15 will be able to offer very bright and accurate colors (covers 100% of the DCI-P3 color space), a very high contrast ratio (100,000:1), wide horizontal viewing angles, deep blacks, fast response time (think 0.1 ms) as well as everything good that the AMOLED technology is known for. The catch, of course, is that OLED traditionally comes with some downsides as well (e.g., off-axis color shifting, ghosting, burn-in, etc.), but it remains to be seen how this will play out for the Spectre x360 15.
