What is the best panel type for gaming?

OLED and QD-OLED panels offer the best gaming experience with instant response times and perfect blacks. Mini-LED is excellent for HDR gaming. IPS remains a solid choice for competitive gaming due to fast refresh rates and good color accuracy.

Is OLED better than IPS?

OLED offers superior contrast with perfect blacks and faster response times, while IPS provides better brightness, no burn-in risk, and typically lower cost. The best choice depends on your use case — OLED for movies and gaming, IPS for productivity and mixed use.

What is Mini-LED blooming?

Mini-LED blooming is a halo effect that occurs when bright objects on dark backgrounds cause nearby dimming zones to illuminate. While Mini-LED has many more zones than traditional LED, the effect is still visible in high-contrast scenes.

IPS glow is a characteristic of IPS panels where the corners appear to have a slight glow or lighter areas when viewing dark content. It’s caused by the panel’s backlight and is most noticeable at off-angles or in dark rooms.
