There are a couple of other downsides that were less unexpected. The first of which is higher power consumption when viewing white or light content such as word processors or certain applications with light-coloured themes, meaning battery life will vary significantly depending on the type of content you are displaying. There is an equalizing upside to this, however, and that is that if you can select darker themes for your apps or websites (as DuckDuckGo, YouTube, Discord, and many other websites are starting to offer now), you will see a fairly healthy decrease in power consumption. I am not certain yet about whether you will see better battery life using OLED on darker content compared to the touch IGZO panel, but I would guess that you will get a solid 8-9 hours of light usage with darker content on the OLED panel and around 5-6 hours with light content. This is something we will certainly do more testing regarding in our official Notebookcheck review, however.

The final downside I noted was the overall "comfort" of using the display for long periods. I enjoyed using the panel for darker content, but one particular use-case that I found uncomfortable with it was word processing, due to the bright white background and high-contrast black text overlayed on it. I didn't get any headaches or blurred vision, but I could feel my eyes were a bit bothered by it.

A question many people are going to be asking themselves is whether to spring for the IPS FHD, IPS UHD, or OLED UHD panel on the 7590. My general impression as someone who has owned the IGZO FHD, UHD, and OLED XPS laptops is that I actually prefer the IGZO UHD touch screen the best. With 100% Adobe RGB coverage and touch functionality, it beats out the FHD and OLED display options for most usage cases in my opinion. The FHD IPS panel is the one to go with if you will be working outside often, mostly be doing word processing, don't require touch, and want the most battery life possible. Finally, the OLED display is the one I'd suggest if you will mostly be doing content consumption such as movies, YouTube, or gaming, as its low response times and excellent contrast and vibrancy will give you the best media experience. As noted above, my personal call would be to not use an OLED display if you will be doing more than a few minutes of word processing on light backgrounds per day.
