The first reviews of Samsung's QD-OLED panels are in, as Dell starts shipping its QD-OLED gaming monitor. A German magazine reviewed the 34" monitor, and discovered an issue with color inaccuracies.
As you can see in the macro photo above, when there's a change from a dark color to a bright color, the display shows green lines that should not be there.
Corning announced that Samsung Display has selected the company's Astra Glass for its QD-OLED display panels. The QD-OLED panel substrate is one sheet of glass, while another is used in the process, likely to cover the display.
Corning says that its Astra Glass provides the "optimal blend of attributes" critical for the intricate and high-temperature QD manufacturing process.
Samsung officially launched its first QD-OLED TV, the S95B. This is the company's first QD-OLED TV, and it features a 55" or 65" 4K 120Hz QD-OLED panel produced by Samsung Display.
The S95B also offers a "Neural Quantum processor" for 4K upscaling, Pixel HDR Pro, Dolby Atmos, Motion Xcelerator Turbo+ technology for lag and blur elimination and HLG. The S95B will ship in April 2022, with a price tag of $2,200 (55" model).
Dell's Alienware AW3423DW QD-OLED gaming monitor is now shipping for $1,299. This is the world's first device to sport a QD-OLED panel.
The AW3423DW features a curved 34-inch 175Hz 3440x1440 QD-OLED panel (produced by Samsung Display), Nvidia G-Sync and DisplayHDR 400 True Black certification.
In early 2022, Sony announced A95K Master XR TV, which is the world's first QD-OLED TV. The TV is not shipping yet (this won't happen until June), but first reviews are in.
DigitalTrends says that the display is bright (the brightest he has seen in a consumer TV) and it offers the most accurate colors he ever saw. The colors are pure and "better than any OLED, and most QLED TVs, too". In fact, the reporter concludes that the Sony A95K offers the best overall picture quality he has seen on a consumer TV, in terms of color, contrast, motion, detail and depth.
