"LG claims its so-called 'Oxide 1Hz' screens lead to '48 percent more use on a single charge compared to existing solutions.'"
"BOE and Intel announced a similar 1 Hz laptop display technology that works in conjunction with Windows and Intel GPUs to automatically change refresh rates."
"Some OLED smartphones and smartwatches have been using a display tech that's similar to Oxide 1Hz, called LTPO (low-temperature polycrystalline oxide), since 2018."
"LG said that it will mass-produce an OLED version of Oxide 1Hz starting in 2027."
Lower-refresh-rate screens, like LG's Oxide 1Hz, consume less battery power than faster screens. LG claims these screens provide 48% more usage on a single charge. BOE and Intel announced a similar 1 Hz display technology, but availability is uncertain. Some OLED devices have used similar technology since 2018. Oxide 1Hz also resembles dual-mode displays in gaming laptops, but those require user intervention to switch modes. Dell's 2026 XPS laptops feature Oxide 1Hz displays, and LG plans to mass-produce an OLED version in 2027.
