[heise German] Alienware monitor with QD-OLED tested: Samsung's display technology is screwed up




Edit - iz komentara:

It is a software problem, not a hardware problem. There are already workarounds for it but in the end Microsoft and Apple need to adapt the new RGB layout within their operating system. Linux doesn't have this problem.

''Pixel is made out of a 3-color triangle (red green blue) on this display, instead of 3 rectangular strips (as on LCD). Windows and MacOS doesn't know how to properly render UI on this layout (because it expects LCD layout), so it looks wrong.''

How is it Windows'/Mac's problem?

The image to be rendered goes through so many layers. It's a simple Bitmap or w/e when it goes to the GPU, gets translated into pixels on the framebuffer in RGB24 format or w/e, goes to the display which has its own CPU controlling the display.

Surely someone, somewhere, at any point in that chain controls the individual subpixels making up a pixel. Surely it doesn't punch through all the way to the operating system. That would be hugely inefficient. Surely, right?

Edit: I don't know where you got your quote from. This one is from the article:

Ein Blick aufs Bildschirmmenü (OSD) beweist, dass das Problem nicht etwa an einer Farbunterabtastung liegt, bei der der Zuspieler nur reduzierte Bildinformationen an den Monitor schickt. Selbst im OSD ohne angeschlossenen Zuspieler gerät die eigentlich weiße Schrift bunt.

Rough translation: Even without any source (i.e. no PC or anything else connected), the on-screen menu has the same effect. Meaning that it's not a Windows issue, or a Mac issue, but a display issue.
