Do Samsung's new QD-OLED panels suffer from color inaccuracies?

We have already known for a fact (from the photos, as well) that the pixel structure for all of the current QD-OLED panels is triangular - not PenTile.

Thanks Pasha. We updated our post with more info and a photo of Samsung's QD-OLED pixel structure.

it looks like image rendering algorithm issue related to sub-pixel structure, not panel itself.

the monitor doesn't use Sub-Pixel rendering at all.

Very similar to convergence errors on the old Delta tube CRTs.

not only do we know it's not pentile it also sounds like the wrong terminology cos that looks like colour fringing which could be a plethora of issue causing it
