SGS certifies exceptional performance of Samsung QD-Display
As an industry leader in the premium display market, Samsung Display today announced that its QD (Quantum Dot)-Display, a display suited for a variety of consumer needs, received two additional certifications for Pro Gaming Verified and Eye Care Display. Awarded by SGS, the world-leading certification company, QD-Display received high marks for its outstanding image quality and viewing experience for games and high-definition content, while simultaneously reducing eye stress and fatigue. Previously, the QD-Display received three certifications for its True Color Tones, Pure RGB Luminance and Ultrawide Viewing Angle.
Through the SGS evaluation, the QD-Display received the highest rating level, Platinum, in Pro Gaming Verified in reflectance, refresh rate, viewing angle, Halo (light leakage) and color. QD-Display offers a fast 0.1 ms response speed (Gray to Gray). Additionally, through the certification processes, the QD-Display was proven to achieve a 0.01 ms response speed (Black to White), and a refresh rate of 175 Hz for monitors and 144 Hz for TVs. Unlike conventional LCD displays, QD-Displays do not have a delay time due to the movement of liquid crystals, since each pixel can be individually adjusted to provide the sharpest image quality possible. Therefore, the QD-Display offers faster screen transitions and clearer picture quality, allowing users to fully immerse themselves in high-resolution games.
"The need for high-quality monitors has increased substantially as we've spent more working and leisure time at home since the start of the pandemic," says Samsung Display. "We pride ourselves on the fact that QD-Display is the perfect display for consumers looking for the best viewing experience whether they're participating in video calls or enjoying games and high-definition content."
Meanwhile, Dell Technologies will release the 'Alienware 34-inch Curved QD-OLED Gaming Monitor (AW3423DW)' equipped with the QD-Display in the U.S. on March 9. This product supports uninterrupted play and ultra-low latency streaming with a fast response speed and a high refresh rate of 175 Hz. It is also equipped with a curved panel with 1800R curvature. At the back of the monitor, an OSD 5-Axis joystick is mounted in the center for easy setting and angle adjustment. In addition, it is equipped with TUV certified 'ComfortView Plus' that maintains eye comfort and 'Creator Mode' that allows content creators or game developers to freely specify DCI-P3 and sRGB color gamut.
The QD-Display also received the Eye Care Display certification after demonstrating that harmful blue light emissions from monitors with QD-Displays were less than 11.5%, which is lower than alternative 31.5-inch or larger gaming monitor displays.
Samsung Display emphasized, "Based on the evaluation, QD-Displays are a great option if you want to avoid eye strain. Even after long hours in front of the screen, users will still experience clear and sharp image quality and quick response speed comfortably - ideal for gamers and even graphic designers."

Having said so, I believe this monitor has a true resolution, rather it has blue OLEDs with a filter to get the colours.
I'd understand the concern if it was pentile (that would be garbage), but don't really get the criticism in this case
Edit: "high ppi" is also relative. The 111ppi of 3440*1600@34" is perfectly fine, better than average for desktop use, but it isn't particularly high.
Here's the post with the images:Non-square pixels with Non-square subpixel layouts make for non-sharp lines. And sadly no amount of mitigations will fully make up for it, in part because human vision is acutely tuned for edge and line contrast detection.
My phone like most phones today uses a 1080p pentile oled, i certainly don't spend as much time reading from it as I do from a computer monitor but I still see no difference from my previous phone with 1080p IPS (the differences I see are the amazing contrast and colour and higher refresh).
Feelings (like my own) don't mather though, is there concrete data on this that goes either way? (i'm not talking about pixel peeping, like a study with people comparing text for example or something)
It's not important at "1440p" but 1080 drops the real resolution too much.

149% sRGB (CIE 1931), 99.3% DCI-P3
In short, wider coverage of DCI-P3, brighter and more saturated colors. I see no info whether sRGB picture mode is available.
Hands on (the purple tint on display when off or no signal is the result of AG coating):
And if ultra wide was at any point going to stop being the exception to the norm that would already happened by now.
Probably not a major issue, but something to keep in mind
