OLED Monitors

LCD, LED, OLED—so many terms. It’s getting hard to keep track of all the display technologies currently available on the market. While LED revolutionized the traditional LCD display screen, OLED screens have their own technology altogether.

OLED, or Organic Light Emitting Diodes, is revolutionizing the home and office electronics market thanks to what it can achieve in terms of image quality, device compactness and energy consumption. The difference between LED and OLED is that LEDs provide the backlighting to an LCD screen image while OLEDs provide both the picture and the light—each tiny OLED acting like its own pixel on the screen.

Because of its qualities, OLED tech is showing up in all kinds of display devices, including smartphones, OLED TVs, OLED Nintendo Switches and, of course, OLED computer monitors.

One major benefit of have both light and image color come from the same source is exceptional color accuracy. Thanks to each pixel producing its own light and color on OLED displays, images do not experience the same color bleed issues that even premium LED displays have to navigate. Whether you're editing videos, watching movies, or playing visually rich PC games, every color comes alive with perfect vibrancy and depth on an OLED monitor.

OLED achieves truly deep blacks because the OLEDs can turn off completely in the black areas of the screen. This feature has the additional benefit of increasing energy efficiency, which makes an OLED display a great choice for any device.

Finally, combining light and color sources allows these displays to be especially slim and light. If you are shopping for a large computer monitor, you will appreciate the sleek design of OLED monitors.
