“For example, a P-arrangement OLED screen has about 1/3 less pixels than an RGB-arrangement LCD screen of the same size. This reduces the effective ppi of OLED screens, which is the actual sharpness that you perceive. In other words, effective ppi \< logical ppi for OLED screens.”

“Consistency of the width of the four bezels, the principle: four bezels of equal width are best. The larger the difference between the maximum bezel width and the minimum bezel width, the worse the visual effect; the larger the difference between the bezel width of the adjacent border, the worse the visual effect.”
