The leading OLED manufacturer has started supplying its leading OLED panel technology to OEMs for next-gen laptops. Samsung Begins Fully-Scale Supply of Tandem OLED Panels Meeting VESA DisplayHDR True Black 1400 Requirements A few days ago, VESA announced a new standard for the next-gen OLED panels. It's the DisplayHDR True Black 1400 certification, which is aimed at high-end OLED displays that can deliver up to 1,400 nits of peak brightness, delivering superior visual fidelity while maintaining deep black levels as low as 0.0005 nits. Our high-performance OLED panel for laptops that meets the True Black 1400 standard is a prime […]

Choosing an incorrect laptop has nothing to do with claiming that Windows is superior to macOS or vice versa, but rather with how much value you get from your purchase. It’s perfectly alright to be accustomed to Microsoft’s operating system, but if you want the same perks as the Apple Silicon MacBooks, you’ll have to move to a Snapdragon-powered notebook. The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5X is an excellent choice in this regard, armed with a Snapdragon X2 Plus, and it is now $75 off on Amazon and retails for $1,074.99. A standard configuration for the IdeaPad Slim 5X is decent, […]

The Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) has announced DisplayHDR True Black 1400, a new performance tier in its display specification certifying the latest generation of OLED displays. This new spec targets both professional HDR content creation and premium consumer displays.

To achieve certification under the new tier, displays must reach a peak luminance of at least 1400cd/m² while maintaining black levels down to 0.0005cd/m². The specification also increases the required full-screen luminance to a minimum of 700cd/m². VESA states that these thresholds are made possible by recent technological innovations such as tandem OLED architectures, which boost sustained brightness without compromising the deep blacks characteristic of emissive panels.

The new standard builds directly on the testing framework established in the DisplayHDR CTS 1.2 specification. This framework requires more rigorous validation for colour accuracy, contrast, and black-level performance. Lenovo will showcase the very first certified displays at Bilibili World 2026 in Shanghai from July 10-12th. Samsung also plans to demonstrate qualified OLED and QD-OLED panels featuring this tier at various trade shows during the second half of the year.

KitGuru says: The introduction of the DisplayHDR True Black 1400 tier establishes a clearer performance standard for the latest high-brightness tandem OLED panels entering the market. Still, don't expect every new OLED to meet the criteria for this new certification, at least for the foreseeable future.

Rigid boundaries have traditionally defined the handheld gaming market, but Lenovo is reportedly looking to change things up with the Legion Go Fold. Leaked ahead of Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2026, this concept device aims to bridge the gap between a portable console and a functional ultra-mobile PC.

According to Windows Latest, by using a flexible pOLED (plastic OLED) display, the Legion Go Fold can transform from a compact 7.7-inch handheld into an expansive 11.6-inch tablet or mini-laptop.

Image credit: Windows Latest

The defining feature of the Legion Go Fold is its versatility, made possible by its folding screen and detachable wireless controllers. In handheld mode, the device folds to 7.7 inches, retaining the familiar footprint of the original Legion Go, making it ideal for standard gaming on the move. In horizon mode, the display is fully unfolded to 11.6 inches, offering significantly more real estate and allowing the wireless controllers to be attached on the side. Then there's the dual-screen mode, which uses a vertical “portrait” orientation, where the software splits the screen, allowing each half to show different apps/games. Lastly, the laptop mode pairs the unfolded display with a magnetic detachable keyboard, just like a Windows Surface tablet.

The internal hardware is a mix of high-end capacity and slightly dated efficiency. The leak suggests the device is powered by the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V “Lunar Lake” processor, a chip designed primarily for battery longevity rather than the raw graphical power found in the Ryzen Z2 Extreme chips powering the upcoming Legion Go 2. For the battery, a 48 Wh capacity one was chosen. That's significantly smaller than the 74 Wh unit expected in the SteamOS-powered Legion Go 2. However, given that this is still a concept, hardware changes are still possible.

KitGuru says: The Legion Go Fold is a fascinating experiment in form factor but for now, we do not know if this concept will make it to market.
