    I am very excited to the idea of finally seeing coming to the market (premium) laptop coming with OLED display !!!

    The color and black on OLED display looks so much better than LCD !!!

    Really looking forward to see OLED rolling out in more laptop displays in 2019 / 2020 !!!

    Why is "ghosting" listed as a downside? OLED screens are vastly superior in that regard and all the ghosting is just caused by the perception of the sample and hold mechanism used in the display.

    Thing is usually laptop displays don't strobe either to avoid eye strain and flicker, causing the same sample and hold perception ghosting (On top of the ACTUAL pixel decay ghosting) so I don't really understand the comment.

    Right, its because people perceive the sample and hold as ghosting/blur. For some its more apparent on OLED panels (while on normal LCDs I think the normal ghosting is dominant).

    I wish this thing has adaptive sync. This boi gonna be an impressive mobile gaming beast just for that display alone.

    This, I'm sure, will be fantastic right up until you start noticing the screen burn-in and residual color tinting on the after the first few months. Then you'll realize you paid over $1,000 to be a guinea pig testing a half-baked technology that just isn't ready for prime time.

    Over $1000??? So basically, no money at all. Time to head back to school if you're short on a whole grand.

    Er, I don't think this is the first time HP has used an AMOLED panel. I'm almost certain that one of the Spectre 2 in 1s (believe it was the 13) had one before, but it was very limited for some reason. I recall pricing it out and comparing it to the Lenovo Yoga. But not long after that, I checked and it was no longer an option, so maybe it wasn't actually sold or recalled?

    Which Samsung also had an AMOLED laptop/tablet/2n1, and they too pretty quickly ditched it, but I believe it was the first one and got reviewed by several places. They "updated" it with an LCD. For some reason I'm thinking it had a 2160x1440 3:2 display though.

    Any ideal from where this panel is being sourced? Is it LG, BOE, Samsung? Any idea?

    Spectre x360 15 has been shipping with i7-8750H and 4GB 1050 Ti Max-Q since October 2018.

    Now they're suddenly switching back to U-CPU?
