HP OMEN Transcend OLED Monitor Detailed Ahead of CES 2024

[Chry]

I'm seeing "integrated heatsink for better burn-in resistance" in the description of all the OLED monitors slated to come out in 2024.

These marketing news stories on TPU miss the most important feature of these panels.

"new W-OLED panel with an RGWB subpixel layout instead of the old RWBG layout, which should noticeably reduce fringing on small text and fine details."

"Samsung’s second-gen QD-OLED panel with an improved subpixel layout. It still uses the triangular layout, but text fringing is a lot less noticeable and won’t be an issue for most users."

Good read on the two technologies.

Are OLED screens gonna be just RGB someday?

Are OLED screens gonna be just RGB someday?

RGB OLED already exists in the professional market, and it looked for a while like it was coming to consumer displays with inkjet printed OLEDs from China. Haven't seen much on that in a few months though.

QD-OLED is already RGB, only they're not positioned in the traditional pattern.
Honestly, the issue here is not the technology, it's the brain-dead software that only knows how to deal with essentially just one subpixel pattern.

Imho, there may be another solution to this: as long as you're not running a 32" FHD or something, you can just disable ClearType.

hmm one of the slides from that link shows that they already had a graphite heatsink since 2022. I'm thinking the improved burn-in mitigation will come from that intellisense ai v2.0. - most advanced pixel level optimization algorithm, IntelliSense AI (v2.0)”. This apparently offers “real-time monitoring [that] predicts and optimizes pixel level load and light output for each sub-pixel. This means any abnormal behavior is detected and resolved instantly, like magic!”

I'd still wait for for rtings to do their burn-in test on the new models though.

Yeah. Like what's AI going to do? If you request high brightness it will say "neah, not right now, maybe later"?

Samsung's QD-OLED get's brigher than LG's WOLED, has a better Color Gamut, and better HDR Native Gradient. I almost pulled the trigger on LG C3 42" but will definitely be getting one of the Samsung QD-OLED panel based monitors.

Also far worse burn-in and lower static contrast (LG is infinite white QD is just insanely high)

It's a tradeoff but with proper mitigations could be worth it for sure for some...

Wasn't that JOLED Japan and didn't it go belly up?

I always wanted to try one...

It's just buzzword marketing IMO.

I know JOLED was working on one, but TCL and another Chinese brand are too. If they bought the tech or are working on their own I'm not sure.

And in a dark room, QDOLED static contrast is still infinite. I know in practice it isn't quite, but it's not an inherent limit of the tech.
