Overview

QD‑OLED monitors have historically faced text‑clarity issues due to their unorthodox subpixel layouts, which stem from the way the OLED stack is layered. Samsung Display is finally addressing this with its first 34‑inch ultrawide panel that uses a vertical‑stripe subpixel layout—similar to typical LCD panels—and can reach up to 1,300 nits of brightness.

Highlights

• Improved text clarity thanks to the familiar subpixel arrangement
• Vibrant colors and deep blacks inherent to QD‑OLED technology
• High brightness suitable for HDR content and bright environments

Overall, Samsung’s latest QD‑OLED monitor aims to combine the visual strengths of QD‑OLED with the readability advantages traditionally found in LCD displays.
