How to tell if your model has an LCD or an OLED screen?

I am aware of a UK retailer mislabelling the 144hz LCD screen 15.6 inch 2020 base model Razer as an OLED model. Don't think it was malicious intent; they just were careless. Not sure how many other retailers are making the same mistake.

So I've bought the 15.6 inch 'OLED' model, but how can I make sure it is NOT the 144Hz LCD model? Is the OLED screen labelled as 'OLED' on the product itself? Or is there an 'About This PC' menu you can bring up that shows all the internal specs including the screen type?

Many thanks.

Deeper blacks, if you have an OLED phone, expect the same Color and Contrast on an OLED screen. Blacks are "Blacker" on an OLED.

There’s label that mention screen type, resolution and refresh rate (if you’ve higher refresh rate panel like 144Hz or 240 etc, I think on Oled since it’s 60Hz not). For blade 15 since it’s 4K touch it should be also labeled so, on system info (right click windows logo) you can check if it’s pen or touch info support only but not Oled I believe.
Thanks, that's cleared it up I think
