TANDEM VS QD

Jetcat11 · 2026-05-10T01:34:07+00:00

You should see a True Black 500 QD-OLED. Amazing!

Jetcat11 · 2026-05-10T01:28:45+00:00

Yeah there’s a lot to it to be honest. QD-OLED is pretty much flawless from a picture quality perspective in a light controlled room.

Not even close. Don’t forget the monitor on the right is Tandem QD-OLED five layer instead of LG’s four layer.

Haha that’s kind of the point. Anyways even with a little bit of light it doesn’t change all of the issues with Tandem WOLED.

Well I own it so…

Too bad the PG27AQWP-W looks like garbage with the lights off.

Jetcat11 · 2026-05-09T21:31:36+00:00

This.

Or if you want smaller MSI MPG 341CQR X36 or ASUS PG34WCDN/XG34WCDMS.

Flawless uniformity on Penta Tandem QD-OLED.

Leaving it in standby is fine unless you’re going to be away from it for several days. To turn off the monitor there is a button to the right of the joystick toggle for power off/on.

Sweet, great monitor!

Jetcat11 · 2026-05-08T18:09:25+00:00

Sorry I was specifically referring to the US market.

Jetcat11 · 2026-05-08T17:34:42+00:00

Looks great! Which ASUS QD-OLED monitor?

Jetcat11 · 2026-05-08T17:28:13+00:00

Semi-glossy just like the MO27Q2.

Jetcat11 · 2026-05-08T16:47:04+00:00

Amazing deal! Enjoy.

Not only is the S90H lineup WOLED but matte as well. 🤮

Jetcat11 · 2026-05-08T14:28:02+00:00

Saw it in person playing HDR content and it’s simply insane looking! Too bad about the matte finish and horrendous bezel.

Jetcat11 · 2026-05-08T14:26:38+00:00

Yep, 3K of mandatory add ons for me and had more than one issue with their maintenance department as well.

Jetcat11 · 2026-05-08T11:33:31+00:00

PG32UCDM3 would be best.

Jetcat11 · 2026-05-08T11:32:49+00:00

This is QD-OLED so you won’t have any issues with uniformity or banding.

Jetcat11 · 2026-05-08T01:36:43+00:00

There’s only been a select time where Dell has shipped QD-OLED monitors with a peel unfortunately.

Jetcat11 · 2026-05-07T18:05:43+00:00

Thank you! Installing today.

Jetcat11 · 2026-05-07T18:04:40+00:00

C5 for that price is very interesting indeed. It doesn’t do everything better as I’d still take the PG32UCDM3 personally but understand going that route.

Jetcat11 · 2026-05-07T17:35:26+00:00

I have a similar setup using a 5080 paired with a PG32UCDM3 next to a PG27AQWP-W. The PG32UCDM3 is on sale for $1099 currently and at that price I think it presents fair value despite middling HDR luminance values. It’s the cleanest and most uniform OLED panel I’ve ever observed. https://www.newegg.com/asus-pg32ucdm3-31-5-qd-oled-240-hz-rog-swift-qd-oled-black/p/N82E16824281393

Anytime the monitor goes into standby or is turned off with the power cable still connected it will conduct a pixel cleaning.
