0871 244 0934OLED stands for Organic Light Emitting Diode. Unlike standard screens that use a large backlight to show an image, every single pixel in an OLED display creates its own light.
This means when a pixel needs to show black, it turns off completely. You get perfect black levels and incredible contrast that makes every image pop with life. It is the gold standard for anyone wanting the best visual experience.
Beyond the contrast, OLED technology offers physical benefits that standard LED screens cannot match.
Because they do not require a bulky backlight unit, these screens are incredibly thin—some even referred to as "wallpaper" displays. This slim profile makes them much easier to wall-mount for a flush, high-end look.
Additionally, OLEDs have a much wider viewing angle. You can sit right at the edge of the room and still see the same vibrant colours and deep blacks without the "wash out" effect common on older panels.
Modern OLEDs are built with several "care" features to prevent issues like image retention. To keep your display healthy, follow these simple steps:
The Hardcore Gamer: If you play fast-paced titles or use a PS5 or Xbox Series X, the near-instant response time of an OLED monitor is a game-changer. It removes motion blur entirely, giving you a clearer view of the action.
The Home Cinema Buff: For those who have a dedicated "movie night," an OLED TV is the gold standard. It handles HDR (High Dynamic Range) content better than any other tech, making bright stars in a dark sky or neon lights in a city look truly realistic.
The Night-Time Viewer: If you mostly watch TV in the evening or in a room with controlled lighting, OLED shines. In dark rooms, the "infinite contrast" creates an immersive experience that standard screens simply cannot replicate.
