… We had a look at that new panel, incidentally, in the MSI MPG 322UR X24 . Until that 34-inch ultrawide, all QD-OLEDs had used some variation of a triangular subpixel structure. They were still RGB, rather than relying on an additional white subpixel to boost brightness as per LG's WOLED panels. …
… Still, the good news here is that OLED technology is really kicking on this year. We're getting brighter panels seemingly by the week and RGB-stripe is being ever more widely adopted. I wouldn't be surprised if most OLED gaming monitors are RGB-stripe by this time next year. …
