Still, even my configuration had a density of 212 pixels per inch, which is plenty sharp. Lenovo is one of the few companies using OLED panels that can actually be cranked up to 500 nits in SDR. That’s important, as the majority of what you do on your laptop is not in HDR. And when you have a screen as glossy as this one, you need to be able to overpower it. I’m not going to lie, though, the reflections here are pretty extreme compared to the MacBook Pro, which does a better job of deflecting glare (even without the Nano Texture display). Some kind of anti-reflective coating might have been useful.
The other surprising miss with the display was color accuracy. I was getting an average color error of a Delta-E of 4.5, as measured with my SpyderPro colorimeter. For creator-focused displays, I like to see this number below two, even right out of the box. This is unusually bad for a laptop of this caliber. I recently tested Lenovo's Legion 9i, which uses a similar OLED panel and has a spectacular color accuracy of Delta-E of 0.8. Lenovo said the color accuracy should be around 2.12. That makes me think it may have been a bug, though I was unable to resolve the issue after repeated tests. I would have hoped for a better color accuracy than 2.12, though calibration would likely be able to improve that.
The HDR implementation was a bit strange, too. In Windows, it says the display isn't capable of supporting HDR games and apps. I can confirm that HDR works on the device, but I wasn't able to properly test it. The inability to play games or run apps in HDR severely limits what this panel can do. OLED is still good in its own right, but missing HDR is a bummer. A Lenovo representative said that all HDR in apps and games should be supported, but I wasn't able to fix that on my unit.
