New OLED Laptop Screen Looks worse than my old laptop? Pixelated?

[Free_The_Jemhadar]

I just got an Asus UX5400ZB the updated one with 12 Gen intel, RTX 2050 GPU inside. This is my first OLED Screen, its 2.8K. I updated all the drivers, The Scaling and Resolution is set to the recommended amount.

 

But the overall screen looks pixelated, like you can see the pixilation on the screen especially on white, grey or light colors. Is this normal? Any ideas?

What you're likely noticing is the sub-pixel layout of OLED. OLED is not nice a uniform like LCD. The pixels often look like triangles or some other shape. I'm surprised that this effect would be noticeable on a 2.8K display though. There is not really anything you can do about it other than return it and get something else.

hmm, okay interesting.

 

I attached two pictures (zoom in) it might be hard to tell with camera distortion but you can see the graininess it's just not Sharp.

 

I'm surprised I thought OLED would be sharper I've heard rave reviews about this panel.

It's probably text fringing due to Windows ClearType not being optimized for subpixel layouts that are not RGB. The picture below is the subpixel grid of the Asus Zenbook S 13, courtesy of notebookcheck.

Interesting, so is that something I can resolve or it's just is what it is for my type of panel?
