Some time ago, we evaluated a popular thin and light asus peerless, everyone's attention to this model is very high, and the discussion in the message area of the article is very warm. Judging from everyone's comments, in addition to discussing the configuration parameters and performance measurements of Peerless, many students are also very interested in the actual display effect of Peerless screens. After all, the first 120Hz OLED screen on the thin and light book, whether it is resolution, refresh rate or color gamut, is completely the performance of the first echelon of the 5000 yuan price, and the screen is the direct window of the user's human-computer interaction.
In the message, some students also have doubts about some characteristics of OLED screens. For example: It is said that OLED screens have the risk of "burning screens", is it reliable for notebooks to carry such screens? For example, how does OLED's wide color gamut do under the win system color management? Will it affect the color accuracy?
So, what is the actual display effect of the unparalleled 120Hz OLED screen? In order to answer this biggest doubt, Uncle Niu found a notebook equipped with a 60Hz high-gamut IPS screen as a comparison this time, and used the most intuitive contrast display to analyze the unparalleled screen display effect.
Introduction to the peerless screen: 120Hz OLED wide color gamut highlight screen
In order to facilitate everyone's understanding, Uncle Niu first reviewed the basic parameters of the peerless screen:
● Peerless is equipped with the latest E4 light-emitting material OLED screen, compared to the ordinary LCD screen, OLED panel in the use of experience has many advantages: OLED panel using self-illumination display technology, compared to LCD panel no longer need the backlight layer, so OLED panel can usually do thinner; at the same time, OLED panel will not exist LCD panel (IPS technology panel) common light leakage problem; in addition, when displaying black, the pixels of the OLED panel are closed, The overall color saturation is higher, the display will appear purer and more delicate; there is another important point for notebooks: the OLED panel can better control the lighting and closing of individual pixels, which is more power-efficient and has better energy consumption advantages than LCD panels.
The scientific name of olED screen is self-lighting diode, and the more power is applied, the brighter it becomes
Speaking of olED self-illumination, the length of time each pixel works varies, and it is necessary to mention the problem of OLED screen "burning screen" that some students are worried about. In order to dispel users' concerns about the OLED "burning screen" problem, asus' unparalleled OLED screen in addition to optimizing the luminous material, but also added a screen saver "ASUS OLED Care", which can effectively ensure the service life of the OLED screen. In addition, in fact, burning the screen is a very long process, daily use to ensure that the notebook screen does not display a picture for a long time, but also effectively avoid the problem of different degrees of panel aging.
● In terms of resolution, the 2880×1620 of the peerless screen is much higher than the 1920×1080 common at mainstream prices, and slightly higher than the regular 2.5K screens such as 2560×1440.
● The 120Hz refresh rate is also a major attraction of the peerless screen, which is doubled compared to the 60Hz refresh rate of the general thin and light book, and the peerless is the world's first thin and light 120Hz OLED screen. The advantage of high refresh rate is all-round, in daily use, whether it is window dragging in daily use, web scrolling, or screen switching in e-sports games such as LOL can ensure smooth and smooth without smearing - especially under the 0.2ms rapid response of OLED panels.
●In terms of color display, the unparalleled OLED screen adopts Samsung E4 luminous material, with 10bit color depth, 100% DCI-P3 wide color gamut, vesa Display HDR 600 True Black certification, Pantone color certification, factory color calibration and other characteristics. Uncle Niu measured it with a color calibrator. The screen color gamut coverage is 100% sRGB (the software upper limit has been reached), 97% AdobeRGB, 98% P3, and it is a proper wide color gamut screen.
Ok, the above is the general situation of the peerless screen, compared with the more common 1920×1080 resolution ordinary high color gamut screen on the thin and light book, 60Hz refresh rate, the following into the actual combat comparison.
Refresh rate: 120Hz to 60Hz, significantly faster and smoother
Let's talk about the refresh rate that many users care about. The so-called screen refresh rate, in layman's terms, is the number of times the screen is refreshed per second, in Hz. The higher the refresh rate, the more stable the image, the more natural and clear the image is displayed, and the less affected the eyes. The lower the refresh rate, the more the image flickers and shakes, and the faster the eyes get tired.
For a long time, the mainstream price point of thin and light books are fixed 60Hz, enough, but compared to the high refresh rate of the game book gradually popularized, it is not enough to see. In recent years, after the gradual popularization of mobile phone high brush screen, everyone is more accustomed to the smooth experience brought by the high refresh rate, so the light and thin version of the high brush screen has also become a product with great echo from consumers. The peerless is the forerunner of the 120Hz OLED screen, and it is also the world's first 120Hz OLED screen thin and light. Uncle Niu's first real combat comparison is 120Hz vs 60Hz.
▲ TestUFO can recognize the display refresh rate and match the corresponding fps, the right side is the Asus peerless 120Hz OLED screen, and the left side is the 60Hz screen of the ordinary thin and light book. As can be seen from the real shot, the display effect of the 120Hz OLED screen is clearer and smoother, while there is obvious smearing under the 60Hz screen, and the asus peerless screen is much brighter when the highest brightness of the screen is also turned on.
Whether it is from the parameters or from the comparative test, it can be seen that 120Hz has a huge advantage over 60Hz, so in which applications can it be reflected? The most typical is the high-speed dynamic e-sports games, such as "CS:GO" and "LOL", the position of the game characters in the high brush screen is displayed in real time, there are fewer shadows, and the mouse click and skill release operation can be more accurate - it is still very easy to play e-sports games with a thin and light set, and the 120Hz high brush screen will obviously greatly enhance the user's gaming experience.

Of course, in addition to the game, the 120Hz screen in daily operation will also be much smoother than 60Hz, such as the window dragging mentioned above, web scrolling, etc.: When the refresh rate of the monitor is higher, you will find that in the fast web page flip, the smoother the picture will be. There is also the most basic mouse cursor movement, and dragging the mouse at a 120Hz refresh rate will be more silky. To take an exaggerated but contrasting example: when you reduce the screen refresh rate to 30Hz, no matter how insensitive to the refresh rate, people will obviously feel that the sluggishness of the mouse slide is very serious, so the high refresh rate also enhances the daily use experience.
▲The ordinary 60Hz thin and light screen on the left side has obvious smearing, while the unparalleled OLED screen mouse on the right side is clear and silky
▲ In the "LOL" test, in the fast-moving scene, the ordinary thin and light 60Hz screen has a long response time, and the blood bar drag of the creep is obvious
▲Also turn on sprinting + skill acceleration, the peerless 120Hz OLED screen is clear and silky
In addition, when it comes to the refresh rate, here is also to mention the screen response speed, the response time of the peerless screen is 0.2ms, with a 120Hz refresh rate, the picture transition can be more natural, and the dynamic picture is clearer. The response time of the general 60Hz screen is also relatively ordinary, which is also a reason for the phenomenon of smearing. In fact, in terms of screen response time, the response time of the OLED screen of 0.2ms is much faster than that of the 165Hz IPS screen of the gamebook (the typical time is 3ms). For example, in FPS games such as CS:GO, when changing the perspective rapidly, the faster the response time, the clearer the picture, the slower the response time, and the more serious the smearing.
▲ 60Hz + long response time screen, in the "CS: GO" often quickly switch screens in the FPS game will appear obvious smearing
▲ Unparalleled screen shooting, still clear when quickly shaking the animation surface
▲ In fact, the response time of the peerless OLED screen is also faster than that of the ordinary game high brush screen, which is the shooting screen of the 144Hz screen, and there are some smears.
Therefore, the high brush screen is indeed an all-round improvement of the user's visual experience, in a sentence that everyone understands, that is, "I can't go back when I use it." Coupled with the fact that HDR games and HDR videos have appeared one after another, users can enjoy it seamlessly with peerless, and learning in the office will bring excellent visual enjoyment. And this is also in the following the light and thin screen resolution, color gamut increase, by asus peerless brought by an OLED screen refresh rate increase (in fact, from last year's fearless Pro 14 has been opened, this time is to continue to move forward), from the user's point of view, high brush screen experience is definitely better. From a product point of view, we also very much welcome the emergence of such products, breaking the inherent conventional parameters and leading the trend of new technologies.
Display contrast: OLED detail is richer, color transparent and pure
Let's take a look at the real display of the peerless screen, still using the method of comparison test, two notebooks display the same picture, and the camera shoots for comparison.
To be clear, asus peerless screen measured color gamut coverage of 100% sRGB (has reached the upper limit of the software), 97% AdobeRGB, 98% P3, and some users will worry about the wide gamut screen in the Win system under the color management problem, do not worry - ASUS Peerless provides gamut switching support (built-in application MyASUS set), support native, Display P3, DCI-P3, sRGB four color gamut adjustment. This time, Uncle Niu compares the display using the native mode.
▲ Static picture display effect contrast, both notebooks are open the same landscape photo, you can see that the peerless screen color is significantly richer, the color is more gorgeous, and the IPS high color gamut screen on the left side is relatively flat - note that the use of relative here is relative, because the latter is also a high color gamut screen, but the color gamut coverage is not as unmatched.
▲Next is the video playback comparison, using two notebooks to play the same HDR video, using K-Lite codec Pack playback, the video is "Peruvian Scenery", 3840×2160 resolution, the screen shows the same frame. From the above comparison chart, it is obvious that the right side of the peerless screen display is more transparent, especially the upper white cloud part, the peerless screen shows the "textured white cloud", and the ordinary high color gamut IPS screen screen is somewhat gray.
▲ The sunlight and shadow part of the same video, this contrast is quite strong, in the peerless screen, the sunlight bright field part and the ground shadow part are clearly distinguished, and the light and shade look pleasing to the eye, and the details are well preserved. Ordinary IPS screens are relatively dull, although there are also sunlight and shadows, but it seems that there is no distinction between light and dark.
▲ Another 4K HDR video examines the black contrast, because the LCD liquid crystal layer can not be completely closed, when displaying black, there will be part of the light through the color layer, the user through the LCD screen to see the black, is actually white and black mixed gray. The unmatched OLED on the right can display true black, and the dark details are clear, the color is accurate, and it looks much more transparent.
▲ This is the video playback of the screen highlight contrast, it can be seen that under the same screen, the highlight effect display of the unmatched OLED on the right side is more accurate, and the lighting degree is significantly higher than the IPS, and the brightness and color of the light are maintained.
OLED screen high dynamic display is also a significant gain for daily use, now many streaming media (such as B station) has added support for HDR video, users office learning, the use of peerless can also see HDR video, visual effects enjoy more pleasant.
From the above display comparison test, it can be seen that the peerless OLED screen can basically be said to be excellent over the IPS screen. In addition, when it comes to color display, the lower the Delta E, the more accurate the color display of the screen. In the 48-color standard color sequence test in the following figure, the maximum value of the Asus peerless screen Delta E is only 2.11, the minimum value is 0.10, and the average value is only 0.88 - Delta E is within 2, the human eye basically cannot distinguish the difference in color, which is a professional-level display, while the Delta E average of the Asus peerless screen is only 0.88, and the maximum value is about 2, and the overall performance is very good. In other words, peerless not only shows a rich color display, but also has a very good color accuracy.
Uncle Niu is a photography enthusiast, the color display requirements for the screen are also relatively high, when traveling to take photos, I prefer to bring such a high color accuracy, high color gamut notebook, can copy and process photos at any time, and the display color grading is accurate, so that "what you see is what you get", it is more handy to use.
epilogue
The UNMAPED screen has a high refresh rate of 120Hz, rapid response, wide color gamut, high brightness and high color accuracy performance, and supports HDR display, which indicates that the basic specifications of this screen are very high. The actual display effect directly explains: compared with the ordinary high-gamut IPS screen, the display effect of the peerless OLED screen is indeed the crushing level, and the visual effect is more outstanding. This screen can not only bring users a more silky and smooth visual experience in daily use, but also provide an excellent experience in e-sports games (such as the above test of "CS:GO", "LOL", etc.), high dynamic range video playback. Naturally, this screen further enhances the unparalleled competitiveness of products.
In fact, this notebook screen appears in the mainstream price of 5,000 yuan, which is very exciting and exciting. A few years ago, the core performance of notebooks ushered in a wave of competition and a big explosion, so we saw the 8-core processor thin and light book on the stage. With the arrival of the 12th generation Core processor this year, the core performance of the notebook has been further improved, the user's full-load application efficiency is faster, and the market is more exciting. These changes are not only the change of products, but also represent the development and progress of the entire technology industry. Now, For the first time, Peerless has brought the 120Hz OLED screen to the price of 5,000 yuan that everyone can afford, which has raised the user's human-computer interaction experience to a higher level. Obviously, for the screen, which everyone cares about, the notebook part, the future will also move towards higher resolution, higher refresh rate, faster response time, etc. to optimize everyone's visual experience, and asus's main OLED display effect is excellent, human-computer interaction is comfortable, which is undoubtedly a major development trend of mainstream price notebook screens, which can also be seen as ASUS's upgrade measures in the notebook field! So, what are the expected changes in future notebooks? Let's wait and see!
