Acer Unveils Next-Level OLED Gaming Monitors

Based on the spec 27" and 32" are WOLED and 34" is QD-OLED. 27" should be using the brand new panel with updated pixel layout and 34" is gen 2.5 due to 240 Hz refresh rate which also means it uses the updated more squarish subpixels layout.

Glare - No

What the fuck is that suppost to mean?

Are they Matte or Glossy, because Glossy can fuck right off.

Most likely antiglare coating will be used for WOLED panels, 34" will probably be glossy if it's QD-OLED.

I really hope they improved their build quality. I have the first X34 monitor with IPS and 100Hz screen, and the build quality is pure junk. Both of the R letters from the Predator logo went off after a couple of weeks, the power button stopped working also a couple of years ago, the menu navigation is extremely hard and inconvenient, and in the winter, if is colder than 20 degrees inside the house, the screen looks like is totally broken, showing only colored lines, and stays like this until the monitor heat itselfs. Not to mention that the plastic frame is getting loose, especially in the corners.
It really is the worst build monitor ever.

I have a Nitro XV272K LV and the build quality is really no worse than my old Asus monitor, so it seems like they've improved things since you got yours.
This is sort of a budget 4K IPS monitor with 160 Hz refresh rate and HDR600 support.

The perception is clearly that WOLED is the superior form of OLED, so far, so that would be a reason to hide it, if its not WOLED.

QD-OLED has its little drawbacks and the only advantage over WOLED is higher brightness capability. Something I don't personally think is required at all. Its funny and strange to me Chrispy_ is thinking something else entirely, as I wouldn't want a pixel matrix with fringing risk, but I frankly don't know what's the truth behind it.

The fact remains, the article speaks of every spec except the actual display technology, which to me smells fishy. Why go into all that detail and specify nowhere what the actual panel tech is?

What's more, it has been seen that OLED implementations not from Samsung or LG itself have been very prone (even Samsung's own products at the beginning, btw) to lacking pixel saving tech, as in, pixel refreshers not activating at the required intervals or being driven by an algo that effectively doesn't work proper, simply lacking some techs in that area, etc. OLED monitors are clearly moving to the realm of 'any company can do it' which also means its moving to the realm of highly sought after differentiation and cost reductions. Ergo, due diligence required.

qdoled has much better color volume

Oh I need to check up on that then! I've currently got a 42C2 as my main monitor & the subpixel layout means it is truly awful for productivity use, so any old subpixel WOLEDs are dead to me! I had assumed anything with the 1080p 480Hz mode would be a new subpixel layout, this is what I get for making lazy assumptions & not checking!

Edit: just checked the TFTCentral LG panel update from the end of last year, not sure if I can share the link but I'll try:

That spells out which ones will be the new subpixel layout with a very useful chart that he fills up as he goes (the complete 2024 roadmap is there by around 12 minutes). I was right on the 480Hz thing at least, any LG OLED panels that support 480Hz are the new subpixel layout so those should be ok for text rendering!

Yeah TFTCentral is one of my go-to sources of info for all things monitors as well as flatpanelshd that also covers TVs
