MSI Titan 18 HX to feature world's first 18-inch 4K 120 Hz mini-LED display with purported Core i9-14900HX and RTX 4090 in tow

[Redaktion]

MSI will be unveiling an upgraded Titan 18 HX at CES 2024. The flagship gaming laptop will feature the world's first 18-inch 4K 120 Hz mini-LED display with 1000 nits peak brightness and a 2 million:1 contrast ratio, and each unit comes factory-calibrated for accurate color reproduction. The company hasn't detailed any specifications but expect to see SKUs powered by Intel Raptor Lake-HX Refresh CPUs and Nvidia RTX 4090 Laptop GPU.

If the thumbnail is proportioned correctly, then that means it's 16:10 too. Nice.

EDIT: this display also seems to do that funny thing where 1/4 the resolution only gets 2x the refresh rate rather than 4x. I'm sure there's one good reason or another for this, though.

miniLED is a crutch on the way to microLED, which still cannot be made widespread.

The native contrast in 2M:1 there is at best (a 100% lie of marketers a priori, as even the OLED test on this site showed, and it is a real pixel backlight, and not zonal, like the crutch of miniLED) at the level of one zone, when all of them are turned off zone pixels. One switched-on pixel immediately leads to a drop in contrast by at least 100 times.

And there are a bunch of other shortcomings of miniLED, such as visible halos at the boundaries of dark and light zones.

In the news, I would rather touch on the topic of creating RAID10 in version 2024, which (RAID10), starting from version 2023, MSI meanly cut out in the Titan series (support was in version 2022, where there were 4 x M.2), and this is 100 times more important for buyers than some stupid miniLED.

And why did they abandon the vaunted "super" AMOLED, if it is as perfect as the local stupid bots lie?

Time for you to admit Apple was right all along with MiniLED?

[RobertJasiek]

Apple was right all along with MiniLED?

That Apple has avoided MiniLED because of flickering (no, Apple has not cared about this aspect)? That Apple has delayed AMOLED and MiniLED because of flickering (no, Apple does not care about this aspect)? So inhowfar could Apple ever be right about MiniLED?

This text is incomprehensible, try again.
I really hope you are not calling 15000Hz PWM "flickering".

[RobertJasiek]

I call any flickering by its name. (There have been several NBC users with immediate headache from 250,000Hz flickering. Incomprehensible to you - comprehensible to me.)

You, the Apple apologist, are defining your credibility.

You, the Apple apologist, are defining your credibility.

1) Mess up OLED and MiniLED
2) Get surprised MiniLED has no distinguishable PWM
3) Never admit you were wrong, make up anti-scientific tin foil hat statement about "250000Hz PWM sensitivity" instead
4) When you got caught, just tell your opponent is "Apple apologist"

[RobertJasiek]

MiniLED has no distinguishable PWM
