One drawback of OLED technology: PWM is always present. A pity, however, that Lenovo has left the refresh rate at 60 Hz, as 90 Hz would have been a good step forward. This makes the screen darker than the 4K UHD display of the X1 Carbon G9 and the 2.5K LCD of the Dell Latitude 9430. But in return, the OLED display has other advantages: The brightness is very evenly distributed, there is no backlight bleeding, and the response times are significantly better than those of the IPS rivals. While we did not measure the latter, we can definitely confirm the SDR value.

Today's review unit houses the 14-inch 2.8K display (2,880 x 1,800) - the panel (model number ATNA40YK01-1) comes from Samsung, and is an OLED display.Īccording to Lenovo, the screen is reportedly capable of displaying SDR content at 400 cd/m² and HDR at 500 cd/m². As with almost every ThinkPad, there are various options, which we also listed in our first review of the X1 Carbon G10. The centerpiece of this version of the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10 is without question the screen.
