Gigabyte AORUS FO32U2P Flat QD-OLED: 32" 4K 240Hz with DisplayPort 2.1, KVM

Fortunately I'm in the office tomorrow which is exactly halfway between home and OCUK. Means an hour drive home after dropping in on the other half with a new monitor - sounds like 2 pro's and 1 con to me :D
 
I'm finding some serious issues with text fringing, does anyon have any ideas how to reduce it? I spend most my day writing code so right now I feel like I am going to have to return it. Everything else is great but text looks pretty awful
 
There is a new firmware out that fixes the Pixel clean not being able to auto-start at standby mode. I havent installed it yet so cant comment on if it works or breaks anything.

This isn't really the right screen to be looking at text all day. While reviews mentioned that it's significantly improved compared to 1st gen QD-OLEDs, the gap between these and high-DPI LCD screens is very large.

Yeah, I was kinda hoping it was overstated issue or I wouldn't be perceptable to it but alas not. I've found fonts and ClearType setups that help but its still definitely noticable. It's shame because otherwise its a great monitor, games look great! Will give it a full days test tommorow and make a final decision

The LG 32" WOLED panel is supposedly greatly improved in this regard thanks to its new substructure. If you can't get used to the QD it might be worth giving it a try, out soon in UK it looks like.

Reviews did say this is also worse than the LCDs of the same pixel density, and generally on par (but different) to QD-OLEDs. iirc most reviews actually ended up preferring text rendering on the QD-OLED rather than WOLED.

Went to pull the trigger
On one of these don't know how many times
But text fringing was top of my list
Of worries
It's a lot of cash not to be happy with it
Is it really bad?
 
All OLEDs have problems with text due to the subpixel layout and this was a worry of mine too, it's not the as bad as i've had with other OLEDs that i've tried and i'm happy enough to keep it. Hopefully will be able to tweak it a little on OSX as that's where I state at code all day but otherwise this is lovely :D

Didn’t work for me for that reason. I had to go back to high dpi lcd.

I stare at text all day on this screen without a problem. Went from a 42 inch 4k LCD display to this and if anything the text is clearer due to the higher DPI. I see no fringing.

Edit: unless I get up real close and squint that is.
