OLED & LCD Screen Comparison

 

 

OLED screens offer superior contrast, deeper blacks, and better battery efficiency (especially with dark mode) because each pixel is self-illuminating. LCD screens, found on older or budget models, rely on a backlight that consumes more power and can produce a less vibrant image with greyer blacks, but they are typically less expensive in repair cost.

 

Keys differences between OLED and LCD:

Feature	OLED	LCD
Contrast & Color	Higher contrast, deeper blacks, more vibrant colors.	Lower contrast, grayer blacks, and generally less vibrant colors.
Battery Life	More energy-efficient, especially with dark images, due to individual pixel control.	Can be less efficient as a constant backlight is always on.
Brightness	Can get very bright, but in some cases, LCDs can be brighter in direct sunlight.	Often brighter, which can be better for viewing in well-lit environments.
Viewing Angles	Excellent	Varies (often worse)
Burn-in Risk	Yes	No
Thickness/ Fit	Very thin / sit flush with housing	Thicker; might sit higher and easier to break.
Repair Cost	More expensive	Cheaper
