Overview
- LG Display has begun mass production of its Oxide 1Hz 1–120Hz LCD panel, and Dell’s 2026 XPS 14 and XPS 16 are the first laptops to ship with it.
- Notebookcheck, as cited by The Verge, measured an XPS with the panel and an Intel Panther Lake chip lasting nearly 27 hours on a Wi‑Fi web test and drawing as little as 1.5 watts at idle from a 70Wh system.
- LG claims up to 48% more use on a charge from the new panel and Dell advertises up to 31 hours of runtime, though reviewers say the split between display savings and CPU gains is not yet clear.
- LG credits low‑leakage oxide thin‑film transistors and custom control algorithms for the 1Hz behavior, and it has not detailed whether refresh detection runs inside the panel or on an external controller.
- LG says a 1Hz OLED laptop panel will enter mass production in 2027, and Intel is also working on 1Hz laptops with BOE, signaling wider adoption beyond Dell.
