According to a statement provided to Engadget, the new Razer Blade 16 will improve on last year's model by including an OLED panel display, with this laptop being co-developed by Samsung Display. This makes it the world's first laptop that supports a 16-inch OLED display, supporting a QHD+ resolution along with a 240 Hz refresh rate. On top of that, it has a 0.2ms response time, along with being given a VESA Certified ClearMR 11000 level, which is a standard that grades motion blur by the ratio of clear versus blurry pixels. This panel also has a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, which means it will have impressive black levels in its display.
