OLED (laptop) screens coming out soon

Note: I know a topic like this would be better suited in the "Laptop screen technology lagging" thread, but I do want this to be it's own topic too, so I made a thread.
At CES, 4 laptops (well, two 2-in-1s, a Surface Clone, and a laptop) were announced with OLED displays.
HP Spectre x360 13.3" (2560x1440 touchscreen)
Thinkpad Yoga X1 (14" 2560x1440 touchscreen)
Samsung Galaxy TabPro (12" 2160x1440 touchscreen) (well, this technically uses AMOLED but still)
Alienware 13 R2 (13.3" 2560x1440 screen; unknown if it is touch or not)
While the OLED screen debuts on small laptops, it should be soon that it'll hit bigger laptops. And with a 14" OLED display, 14" gaming laptops like the Razer Blade and Clevo P640RE have a chance for OLED action.
As far as pricing is concerned, the X1 OLED is $200 more than the LCD version, and the 13 R2 OLED screen costs the same as the 3200x1800 touchscreen option (a $150 upgrade from the 1080p option in the US); nothing on the x360 13.3" pricing yet.
As a side note, monitors too are getting OLED screens as well. If anyone (or any people) wants to scour all those announced so far, that would be great.
However, as far as I know, no 1080p OLED display has been announced. This, of course, will turn off some people because the higher the resolution on a smaller screen, the smaller everything displayed will be.

 

I want be optmisitic, but somehow I just have this gut feeling that the OEMs will eventually find some way to bastardize the technology in order to save 50 cents on the BOM cost

 

I love my amoled display on my first gen moto X. I would imagine the energy savings would help extend the battery life on large displays as those in laptops and 2-in-1s.

I just want some decent high refresh screens =D. Preferably 8-bit panels too.

 

Doesn't OLED come with the trade off that their lifespan is much less then a traditional panel? I remember reading when they started messing around with them that they degrade at a quicker rate using organic material, has this been addressed or is it another it will degrade long after obsolete thing to not even consider?

 

They already do it from quite some time. It's called Pentile and you can "thank" gnusmas for it. You get like 30% less real pixels of the brouchure stated pixels, because of the way they are formed.

 

LCD displays also have limited lifetime, especially the backlight of non LED displays (LED lasts longer than CCFL), but newer OLED's are rated at around 50k hours before loosing 50 % brightness and since year has about 8760 hours, you figure about 6 years of non stop use, or about 15 years for typical 8-10 hrs a day, either work or home use, I'll say should be good enough, since I don't think I ever had laptop lasting me much more than 5 years. And if you really get attached to your particular hardware, what would stop you from replacing the screen? You probably would need to replace batteries, HDD, video cable, cooling fan, maybe hinges and couple other things after 5-7 years of typical use even on very solid laptop.

 

What I like about amoled or oled displays is the blacks are rich black, but colors tend to be very saturated. Also only the pixels that are being displayed are lit instead of the whole display unlike a backlit LCD.
