OLED monitors are an envy of mine. That's why it comes naturally for me to sit behind my IPS screen and point out some of the still-remaining flaws of the tech, namely burn-in and low brightness. But on this front, might have an answer in the form of tandem WOLED monitors such as in the just-announced ROG Strix OLED XG27AQWMG.
Asus explains that this technology "splits the light emitting layers from three into four, separating the yellow layer into two distinct red and green layers. This eliminates the need for colour filters, which comes with a number of benefits."
The XG27AQWMG is also rated to 280 Hz [[link]] at 1440p QHD with the usual low OLED response time, so no worries on that front.
Based on all this, it looks like we might be dealing with that Asus is using here, and it's certainly the same tech that LG outlined a few months ago.
The figures Asus is quoting certainly seem promising for OLED monitors given their two main issues of brightness and life span, and it certainly looked very shiny when I feasted my eyeballs on it. But we'll have to wait for more extensive hands-on testing to figure out if it's all as game-changing as it sounds.
