Garmin sets a new standard for display with the fēnix 8 MicroLED

The fēnix 8 MicroLED completely redefines smartwatch display standards, delivering the brightest and sharpest display ever...

The fēnix 8 MicroLED boasts superior brightness when compared to other watch displays.

Garmin was the first brand to successfully integrate a MicroLED display into a smartwatch, the fēnix 8 MicroLED. This is considered a significant milestone because MicroLED is a cutting-edge display technology, requiring a manufacturing process with semiconductor-level precision.

MicroLED, with over 400,000 ultra-small LEDs (only 1-10 microns in size), allows for a maximum brightness of 4,500 nits. This enables the fēnix 8 MicroLED display to not only excel in brightness but also boast a 15% wider color gamut and six times the contrast.

Thanks to its ultra-wide viewing angle, the fēnix 8 MicroLED allows for quick reading and browsing of data even with rapid wrist tilts, reduces glare in bright sunlight, and keeps digits/maps sharp at night. Durability has also been comprehensively upgraded, tripling in lifespan and significantly improving image retention.

The microLED technology on the fēnix 8 is designed to strike a balance between optimizing outdoor visibility in bright sunlight while still delivering vibrant colors. It provides high display quality, accurate colors, and deep blacks, while maintaining efficient energy performance and good readability in direct sunlight. This is an advanced display solution that balances visual experience with the demanding battery life requirements for extended use.

In high-intensity lighting environments, the core advantage of MicroLED is its absolute brightness. While LCD, LTPO-OLED, and AMOLED are limited by their maximum brightness thresholds, MicroLED utilizes ultra-small inorganic LEDs with superior luminous efficiency. This technology allows for very high brightness levels without degradation in quality or overheating, easily overcoming sunlight and delivering a perfect outdoor experience.

In standard lighting conditions, MicroLED demonstrates superior performance and durability. While its display quality is comparable to LCD, LTPO-OLED, and AMOLED (which are already excellent), MicroLED possesses two major advantages. First, efficiency, as it consumes less energy to produce the same level of brightness. Second, and the key difference, is durability. AMOLED uses organic materials that degrade and cause burn-in, while MicroLED uses inorganic materials, completely eliminating this risk.

In dark and very dark environments, MicroLED's advantage lies in its durability for perfect black. LTPO-OLED, AMOLED, and MicroLED all achieve absolute black by switching off individual pixels. MicroLED is also completely immune to this problem, allowing users to enjoy perfect black without sacrificing device lifespan.

The new fēnix series continues to boast impressive battery life of up to 240 hours, a convenient built-in flashlight for workouts, and military-grade water, heat, and shock resistance. With the fēnix 8 MicroLED, Garmin further solidifies its leading position in the smart sports device industry, delivering a "cutting-edge technology" experience for those who constantly strive to push their limits.

The product is being offered in limited quantities at a suggested retail price of VND 54,890,000, targeting users who love new technology, frequently engage in outdoor activities, and want to own a top-of-the-line device with the most advanced technologies on the market.
