Overview
- LG Display says it has begun mass-producing its Oxide 1Hz laptop LCD, which drops to 1 Hz on static scenes and rises to 120 Hz for motion.
- Dell’s 2026 XPS 14 and XPS 16 are the first to offer the panel as a base 1920×1200, 500-nit option, while the OLED upgrade only falls to 20 Hz.
- LG claims up to 48% less panel power use and Dell markets up to 31 hours of battery life, though neither firm details how much the screen alone contributes.
- Notebookcheck reported nearly 27 hours of web browsing on an XPS 16 using the LG panel with an Intel Panther Lake chip and a 70Wh battery.
- Phones and watches have used ultra‑low refresh to save power for years, and LG says a 1 Hz OLED laptop panel is planned for 2027.
