32-Inch 4K OLED Gaming Monitors from Samsung & LG Are Coming in 2024

Structure: Utilises a white OLED light source with red, green and blue filters, to generate the desired colors. An additional white sub-pixel is added to the RGB structure to help boost brightness.

Advantages: This is the most cost-efficient solution availible on the market with high yield rates during production. LG Display have been producing WOLED panels in the TV market for many years, exclusively in fact until quite recently. This technology helps in providing uniform brightness and a potentially longer lifespan compared to traditional RGB OLED since w-oled pixels have uniform aging.

Disadvantages: Color fringing and text rendering, smaller colour gamut and volume

Existing monitor panels: 27” 2560 x 1440 240Hz, 45” ultrawide 3440 x 1440 240Hz, and 42”/48” 3840 x 2160 “4K” 120Hz large format displays

Structure: This technology combines a blue OLED light source with a red and green quantum dot emission layer to produce the colours.

Advantages: QD-OLED monitor panels can offer improved brightness and wider colour gamut/volume compared with WOLED panels in the monitor space

Disadvantages: Text rendering and fringing problems due to unusual sub-pixel layout. QD-OLED suffers from reduced perceived contrast ratio under certain ambient lighting conditions due to the lack of a polarizer (doesn’t impact WOLED in the same way). increased cost due to quantum dot layer. Flexible panel design is not possible due to quantum dot layer and the way it is applied

Existing monitor panels: 34” ultrawide 3440 x 1440 175Hz, 49” super ultrawide 5120 x 1440 with 240Hz
