Asus introduces new OLED monitor, boasting brighter displays and a longer lifespan by approximately 60%
In the world of technology, constant innovation is the norm. Asus, a leading name in the industry, has announced its Tandem WOLED technology, which promises to revolutionise the OLED monitor market. Here's what sets the new technology apart from its predecessors.
The Tandem WOLED technology offers a 15% higher peak brightness compared to earlier WOLED monitors. This translates to full-screen brightness around 310 nits and HDR peak brightness around 1400–1500 nits, a significant leap from the roughly 270 nits on earlier WOLEDs.
Another notable advantage is the reduced burn-in risk and 60% longer lifespan. This is achieved by improving the efficiency of the light-emitting layers and lowering panel temperatures. By splitting the light-emitting layers from three to four, with separate red and green layers, the need for color filters is eliminated, improving light emission efficiency.
The technology also boasts a 25% wider color volume compared to equivalent QD-OLED panels, resulting in richer and more vivid colors.
Additionally, the Tandem WOLED technology supports better power efficiency, enabling it to deliver brighter images while using less energy and generating less heat. This further extends panel longevity.
In summary, Asus Tandem WOLED monitors are brighter, have deeper colours, are more energy-efficient, and considerably less prone to burn-in, with a lifespan about 60% longer than previous WOLED monitors. This makes them a substantial improvement in durability and performance.
Asus has implemented this technology in the ROG Strix OLED XG27AQWMG monitor, which also features a Neo Proximity Sensor that turns the monitor off when the user moves away and back on when they return, a feature designed to help with OLED burn-in. However, more extensive hands-on testing is needed to determine if the promises made about the ROG Strix OLED XG27AQWMG monitor are accurate.
It's worth noting that the technology used in the ROG Strix OLED XG27AQWMG monitor is likely the same as the one LG outlined a few months ago. The LG Ultragear 32GS95UE, for instance, is already a well-regarded WOLED monitor.
The ROG Strix OLED XG27AQWMG monitor is rated to 280 Hz at 1440p QHD with a low OLED response time, making it a formidable choice for gamers. However, it's important to remember that the best monitor for an individual will depend on their specific needs and budget.
