Samsung Shows 90Hz OLED Equals 120 Hz LCD
July 19, 2020
Samsung had announced its 90Hz OLED display in which the company claims to have optimized the high-speed motion. Samsung is now saying that its 90Hz OLED panels are good as 120Hz LCD panels. A global certification company SGS reveals that the blue length or image drag of Samsung 90Hz OLED and 120Hz OLED screens is 0.9mm and 0.7mm, and the response speed of dynamic images is recorded at 14ms and 11ms respectively. The SGS evaluation shows that Samsung’s 90Hz OLED panel has a one-fifth image drag compared to 90Hz LCD — same as the 120Hz LCD smear length. On the other hand, Samsung’s 120Hz OLED image drag is shortened by one-third compared to the regular 120Hz LCD panels.

Another fundamental difference is the faster response through fast electron mobility and its current-driven characteristics. This ultimately results in a more natural display panel. The high refresh rate screens truly show their strength where there are quick switches of scenes on screens, such as gaming and videos. While having a high refresh rate display is good, a regular user with normal usage won’t be able to notice much difference.
