Well, having tried and returned two 2023 Razer Blade 16 Mini-LED models (one with RTX 4080 and another with RTX 4090) over various display issues I crossed my fingers and bought a 2024 Razer Blade 16 mini-LED with the RTX 4090 and am very happy with the display. The single dimming option yields spectacular results for standard use and the multi-dimming zone selection is equally spectacular for gaming and watching movies.
Though I am not aware of any audio changes to the 2024 model, I would swear the audio is better as well. I also have the impression the fans are producing a higher quality, lower decibel sound.
My only small critique on the display is that the single dimming zone control (i.e. ‘LOCAL DIMMING’) is not part of a ‘profile.’ As a result, unlike other settings in Razer Synapse I can link to the launch of games, I have to manually toggle local dimming on or off. I assume that is just a bug they will fix.
While I need to do more performance testing (so far so good) and do an undervolt, I am very happy. This year’s Razer Blade 16 mini-LED is the best gaming+creator on the market IMHO.
Big thanks to Razer for sticking with it and improving this system.
