I’m trying to figure out whether the 16” Medion Erazer Beast with the RTX 5080 mobile GPU actually has a Mini LED display, like the 5090 model. UK retailers seem to only advertise the 5090 as having a Mini LED panel, which makes me think the 5080 doesn’t. However, I’ve spoken to a couple of online retailers who say the 5080 does have Mini LED. To add to the confusion, a YouTuber showed their 5080 unit with a sticker clearly stating “IPS,” while Trusted Reviews claimed the 5080 model uses a Mini LED screen, albeit one that’s noticeably worse than the 5090 in terms of contrast and black levels. I’ve also reached out to Medion’s customer support but haven’t had a response. Does anyone here actually own the RTX 5080 version and can confirm what display it ships with? I’m really trying to get to the bottom of this before buying.
