The 240Hz OLED panel on the new Razer Blade 15 introduces solid HDR gaming to laptops.
Razer Blade 15 MSRP $3,300.00 Score Details DT Recommended Product “The Razer Blade 15 now comes with the best gaming laptop screen I've ever tested.” Pros Cons Playing games on a 240Hz OLED panel feels like we’ve reached some kind of peak for the PC. It’s the best image quality you can get on a screen, paired with a refresh rate higher than most gamers will ever need.
Related But the option for a 240Hz OLED panel? That’s something new and exciting to test out. The rollout of OLED to laptops has been painfully slow, especially on gaming laptops. Razer has offered an OLED model for years, but it’s always been limited to a 4K 60Hz panel – and that’s not one many gamers are interested in due to its resolution and refresh rate. That’s especially been true in past years, when gaming laptops weren’t powerful enough to play in 4K resolution at decent frame rates.
I also enjoy the fact that this is a glossy display. That’s true of all OLED displays that currently exist, but this is a true gaming laptop — and the glossy screen delivers clearer and bolder visuals than a matte finish ever could. You’re not seeing the screen through a textured filter that dampens the contrast of this glorious panel. The trade-off, of course, is dealing with reflections and glare. And there’s plenty of it.
The Razer Blade 15 is still a performer, though in many AAA games, you’ll want to drop either the resolution or the graphics settings to get over 60 fps. Red Dead Redemption 2, for example, only averaged 53 fps at 1600p at Ultra settings. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla averaged 70 fps at the Ultra High settings preset, and dropping it down to 1080p brought that up to 80 fps.
More of the same I won’t get into every detail of this design, because many of its elements haven’t changed for many, many years. It’s thin and light, yes, though the Razer Blade 14 is now the go-to option in that realm. Other things I continue to love about this design include the excellent port selection , the solid 1080p webcam, and the up-firing speakers. They still can’t compete with the MacBook Pro, but they’re some of the better speakers you’ll find on a gaming laptop.
