Razer Blade 16 Mini-LED local dimming | Razer Insider
Skip to main content

Razer please tell me this is a defective display or its how Mini LED technology implemented in this laptop and it's considered "normal".

White objects on black that are smaller than 2cm turns grey. I recorded a video showing this problem.

I returned my RB16 because of this (I am a software developer and can not write code on this laptop due to this issue) and bought a ROG Strix Scar 16 which has the ability to with local dimming on and off.

 

I would sell that and buy another RB16 if Razer added this feature.  


Thank you OP. My 2023 16inch also has this issue, and I am considering returning it for that reason. Good to know that it's a common issue with the new Blade's - wonder if there would be a firmware fix coming 

 

I also second the idea of having an option for the local dimming. This seems to be a basic feature to have, just like any mini led monitors and TV's on the market 


This post just scare me.  Hopefully they find a solution that works.  I'm wondering if windows like new technology. 


Just adding my name to the request for a single dimming zone option. In all other respects the Blade 16 is fantastic, but the mini-LED screen is utter garbage for desktop work.

The YouTube channel Short Circuit, part of Linus Tech Tip (LTT) just reviewed the Lamborghini variant of the 16” mini-led laptop and their takeaway...


“Completely skip the dual-mode display, man, what an awful piece of junk”

Razer need to pull their finger out of whatever orifice they’ve inserted it into and release a toggle to allow turning off local dimming as they are embarrassing themselves and their brand with the current state of their “flagship” laptop product.

nahhh when ltt calls in junk its bad 💀

Razer wake up its been months it shouldnt take long to fix this


Razer emailed me back after a long delay and me prodding them again, they told me that they are not adding that feature to the 2023 models. If I remember correctly many owners are banding together for a lawsuit as this simply isn’t usable for content creation or design work.
