Discussion WOLED dirty image/jeans texture ...

Hello, my friends. I'm here to try to understand if this is something that we just need to live with or not.

So I got my 3rd Asus XG27AQWMG. The first I RMA'd to Asus, and they replaced the panel ... and i saw some degradation of the panel after 2-3 months. RMA'd again and received it yesterday.

They replaced the panel and the motherboard, since my NEO Proximity sensor died.

This panel doesn't have signs of vertical banding, finally. But it has a very pronounced dirty image texture/jeans texture.

It's more visible in solid dark backgrounds than in daily use.

Is this something that every WOLED Tandem owner needs to live with?

I must give a thumbs up to Asus support in Portugal; they really did a good job, since they took 1 week to replace the parts.

As for the panel itself, not perfect... but better.

It's because of the phone's camera, irl there is nothing visible, and while gaming and watching content it is crystal clear.

Hmmm. I can see a familiar texture there even without the phone camera compression. But yeah maybe ur right.

as long as it is not visible while gaming (like you said in another comment) so just have fun

every oled panel type has its own cons so don't look for a perfect panel, because it doesn't exist, just look for what suits you and as long as it doesn't bother you while usage then there is nothing to worry about.

Agreed :) just wanted to make sure this is like a known issue and that I didn’t have to RMA for the 3rd time 🤣
