Question

What are the differences between LED and OLED computer screens? Is it okay to buy an LED screen?

Answer 1

What's marketed as an LED screen is actually an LED-backlit LCD screen, a type of LCD screen. The backlight uses LED strips, light guide plates, and diffusers; the technology is mature and widely used.

OLED screens, on the other hand, use active-matrix technology and are primarily used in small-sized displays, such as mobile phone screens. Their disadvantages include higher cost and a higher risk of burn-in after prolonged use.

Currently, LED screens are recommended for computer applications.

Answer 2

LED is the same as LCD, because LCD uses LEDs as its light source, so some people also call it an LED screen. OLED is an organic light-emitting screen. OLED is organically self-emissive, resulting in more delicate colors, but it is prone to burn-in. Furthermore, the pixel arrangement design of OLED means it is not 100% Real RGB. Considering the current price of OLED screens, my suggestion is to buy an LCD (LED) screen and wait a few years until the cost of OLED decreases and the technology matures before buying an OLED screen.
