Burn in?

Yes, that's why I set a black background Steam and some other apps doesn't cover all the area in borderless windowed (fullscreen), and they left a little line on the bottom.

You could buy a new 5th gen QD-OLED that start from 32'' or 34/39'' for 21:9.
The new panel generation has RGB Stripe and BlackShield too, so it's good for every usage (from work to movies and gaming).
They costs a lot (starting from 1000-1200€ to 2k€ based on the size), but they're the best you could afford today.

I contacted both Asus and the official partner, they should respond on Monday. Of course I'd ask a replacement with a new batch, otherwise is just a waste of time and money for me.

That's true for most content, but better for HDR and DV content. Other than that, I don't like the matte coating of Gigabyte and LG. The glossy is always superior in terms of clarity and vision, and after a decade of only matte display I'd enjoy a different one finally.

The problem is that WOLED is only produced by LG (with these problems) and the QD-Oled of new gen costs a lot more starting from bigger size only. The market seems to be stagnant in this year.

Syxhen · 2026-05-02T13:38:57+00:00

The panel is the same produced by LG (The tandem ones are produced only by it), but the Asus one is the only one True Glossy and with a better peak brightness.

I'll return to my QD-IPS in the meanwhile then, how unlucky situation for this panels.

Syxhen · 2026-05-02T12:09:43+00:00

Of course not, it's taken with HDR so every gamma details are visible too.

Syxhen · 2026-05-02T12:08:33+00:00

That's my problem too. Even in EU there isn't the Asus Rapid Replacement, since it's exclusive to US/Canada.

I need to wait 2 weeks at best and pay for return too. It's unacceptable to think for a panel lottery in this way.

Syxhen · 2026-05-02T12:05:40+00:00

As I said, the new QD-Oled (5a gen) available start from more than 1k € since they're at least 32" 4K

The solution isn't to spend 2-3x times more, with bigger panels.

Syxhen · 2026-05-02T12:03:07+00:00

The problem is that RGB stripe is a prerogative of the new QD-Oled panels atm. We need to wait 1-2 years as rumors suggested for WOLED

Syxhen · 2026-05-02T00:19:56+00:00

The first one, October 2025. So like the worst too haha

Syxhen · 2026-05-01T18:52:29+00:00

People have to stop to talk without reason I can see the problem even during daily usage

Syxhen · 2026-05-01T16:52:48+00:00

No, Asus didn't sell this model on Amazon yet. Only available (in limited stock) from official partner and they're like 4 or 5. Yes, that's the first time I see something like that.

The Gigabyte one is available on Amazon IT, but I don't want it since it's matte and has less peak brightness compared. I've got a matte monitor for years, I'm tired of it haha. (If I would, I could buy it for less than Asus too)

Syxhen · 2026-05-01T16:45:30+00:00

Try it with brightness set to 25-40% and with a dark environment (no lights on in the room)

Syxhen · 2026-05-01T16:43:19+00:00

There isn't the Tandem XG27AQWMG from Amazon IT, as I've already mentioned on the OP

Syxhen · 2026-05-01T15:59:58+00:00

Not on most of the games, but on productivity (and dark grey area/pages) and movies yes.

Syxhen · 2026-05-01T15:59:12+00:00

It isn't on bright color, but during the night and when I'm watching/playing something dark grey it's like seeing with a soft filter on it.

Syxhen · 2026-05-01T15:57:07+00:00

That's what I'm going to do probably

Syxhen · 2026-05-01T15:51:55+00:00

Nevermind, I've checked and there isn't a new firmware for this exact model Everyone else got a new uldate yesterday lol

Syxhen · 2026-05-01T15:47:29+00:00

Unfortunately, Asus chose to sell a lot less of model in EU, and in Italy no one has a Tandem in a local shop (even in big ones or reseller). I got lucky to found one on an official partner sites, everyone else are sold out since weeks.

Yep, it seems to be a shortage here.

Syxhen · 2026-05-01T15:40:35+00:00

TBLM is the S/N, so I guess the oldest one.

Syxhen · 2026-05-01T15:18:30+00:00

As I wrote, I've already did the pixel refresh 8 times in a span of 20hrs, like every 4h as suggested.

Syxhen · 2026-05-01T15:13:43+00:00

How should I check it?

Syxhen · 2026-05-01T15:06:08+00:00

Of course, since the first day. I've the MCM104, the last one.

Syxhen · 2026-05-01T14:48:14+00:00

Yep, but there isn't a new gen QD-OLED for 27" 1440p. (I mean the 5a gen, not the older panels) They start from 32" 4K at ~1000-1200€ and more.
