How about LG 45gx950a? Went up for pre-order last month.
Is this model using latest woled panel?

i'm not sure. i only know the 1440p panel by LG, Gigabyte and upcoming asus that is 100% using the gen4 oled panels with x2 times burn in resistance compared to the previous gen 3. This applies to both qd oled and woled because they both using the EL3.0 over the older EL 2.0 materials on the panel for that burn in resistance.

The main difference between the qd oled and woled gen4 however is that woled improved their brightness, improved the color to catch up to qd oled (so this is no longer their weak point against qd oled where before it was because it was less colorful), they improved the text clarity (was it fully resolved? i don't know. but according to the reviewer for LG monitor they said it still had fringing but it was much improved than before, so i am guessing he meant it's fine)
Only reason i didn't get a gen4 was there was no availability at the time and i couldn't wait. But now in the market the gen4 is available and for rougly the same price i had paid for the gen3. The only reason not to get a gen4 is if it's matte and you have your doubts about that. Everything else seems fine though. And if you can wait a few months, sometime in Q4 2025 asus is releasing a true glossy black 1440p gen4 woled.

Not sure about the 4k resolution monitor, have to dyor 

tftcentral might have some info on that.

I just bought XG32UCWMG, is it Gen4? and is it EL3.0?
I don't know much about those technical thingy.

The ASUS ROG Strix XG32UCWMG does not feature a 4th-generation OLED panel or EL 3.0 technology. It uses a 3rd-generation WOLED panel.

Instead, the XG32UCWMG has the following key features:

    A TrueBlack Glossy coating that reduces glare compared to previous generations while preserving deep blacks.
    An MLA+ (Micro Lens Array Plus) layer for increased brightness.

Clarification on panel generations The technology you are referring to, often called "Gen 4" OLED with EL 3.0, is found in newer LG Display WOLED panels that improve brightness and efficiency. The XG32UCWMG uses a slightly older generation with a different anti-reflective coating.

If you are specifically looking for a monitor with the latest OLED tech, you will need to confirm the panel generation for each specific model.

TFTCentral uses the terms "Gen 3" and "Gen 4" to distinguish between different generations of OLED display panels from the two major manufacturers, Samsung Display (QD-OLED) and LG Display (WOLED).

The key improvements differ depending on the manufacturer and generation.

Samsung Display (QD-OLED)

For its Quantum Dot OLED (QD-OLED) technology, Samsung's advancements focus on improving brightness, efficiency, and refresh rates.

Gen 3 (2024 panels)

    Brightness: Increased HDR peak brightness to 1,000 nits for monitors, with improved full-screen brightness over Gen 2.

    Efficiency: Features the Quantum Enhancer algorithm and IntelliSense AI v2.0 for real-time pixel optimization, leading to better durability and efficiency.

    Pixel Density: An ultra-precise inkjet process enabled higher pixel density, allowing for the creation of 4K resolution QD-OLED monitor panels.

    Refresh Rate: Introduced 27-inch 1440p panels with a 360Hz refresh rate, a new high for the time.

    Anti-Glare: Maintained the same semi-glossy screen coating as previous generations, which some found susceptible to "raised blacks" in bright rooms


Gen 4 (2025 panels)

    Brighter and More Vibrant: Utilizes a new, hyper-efficient "EL 3.0" material, resulting in brighter and more vibrant displays.

    HDR Performance: Improves HDR brightness significantly, with demonstrations showing peak luminance of up to 4,000 nits in small highlights and 440 nits on full-screen white.

    Higher Refresh Rates: Reached 500Hz on some monitor panels.

    Energy Efficiency: The new EL material also allows for improved energy efficiency.

    Higher Pixel Density: Continues to push pixel density higher, with a 27-inch 5K panel shown at Computex 2025.



LG Display (WOLED)

LG's White OLED (WOLED) technology in its latest generation makes a significant change to the panel structure for better brightness and efficiency.

Gen 3 (2024 panels)

    Micro Lens Array (MLA): Many Gen 3 panels featured a Micro Lens Array (MLA) to maximize brightness and efficiency by redirecting emitted light.

    Three-Stack Structure: The light-emitting layers consisted of three stacks.

    Brightness: Achieved a peak brightness of up to 3,000 nits, though monitors typically had a lower peak brightness.

    Pixel Structure: Used a subpixel layout that could result in some text clarity issues for monitors.



Gen 4 (2025 panels)

    Primary RGB Tandem Structure: Moves to a new "four-stack" panel design, which separates the red and green emitting layers from the blue. This is a fundamental change from the previous three-stack structure.

    Higher Brightness: The new structure boosts brightness significantly, with LG Display promoting 4,000 nits peak brightness for TVs and increased HDR brightness for monitors (1,500 nits) and SDR brightness (up to 335 nits).

    Improved Efficiency: The new tandem structure is more energy-efficient and has a longer lifespan.

    Better Color Volume: The four-layer design improves color purity and separation, resulting in a larger color gamut and more vivid colors.

    Enhanced Black Depth: The removal of the MLA layer and improved anti-reflection coating on TV panels lead to better black performance in bright rooms.

    Improved Text Clarity: Features an updated subpixel layout that addresses text clarity issues found in previous monitor panels.

EL 3.0

refers to the third generation of emissive layer technology used in modern OLED displays, particularly in Quantum Dot OLED (QD-OLED) and White OLED (WOLED) panels. This advancement significantly improves brightness, energy efficiency, and overall picture quality over previous generations.

Key features of QD-OLED EL 3.0

The third-generation emissive layer technology for QD-OLED, developed by Samsung Display, has the following characteristics:

    Hyper-efficient material: A new material is used to convert more electrons into photons, resulting in a brighter display without increasing power consumption.

    Improved light efficiency: This technology increases the overall light output and can boost light efficiency by up to 30% compared to EL Gen 2.

    Higher brightness: With EL 3.0, QD-OLED panels can achieve higher peak brightness levels, making them more vibrant and able to support higher pixel-per-inch (PPI) counts without compromising HDR performance.

    Enhanced durability: The new material improves the efficiency and longevity of the panel, helping to reduce the risk of burn-in.

    5-layer tandem structure: Panels featuring EL Gen 3 are sometimes described as having a 5-layer tandem OLED panel structure, contributing to their improved efficiency.


Key features of WOLED META 3.0

LG Display's equivalent, often called META 3.0 for its WOLED panels, also features third-generation technology and offers distinct enhancements:

    4-layer RGB tandem stack: META 3.0 uses a stacked structure with two layers of blue emitters and separate layers for red and green emitters. This arrangement increases color purity and overall brightness.
    Higher brightness and efficiency: Similar to QD-OLED EL 3.0, this technology boosts peak brightness levels by 33% and improves energy efficiency by 20% over the previous generation.
    Increased color brightness: The separate RGB layers result in a 40% increase in color brightness.
    Ultra anti-reflection technology: META 3.0 includes a specialized film that blocks internal and external light reflections, ensuring perfect black levels even in brightly lit rooms.

How EL 3.0 differs from previous generations

EL 3.0 and META 3.0 improve on older emissive layer technologies by focusing on raw material composition and panel structure. For example, Samsung's Gen 4 QD-OLED uses a 5-layer blue OLED structure, whereas the Gen 3 panels used a 3-layer blue structure. This evolution of materials and layered design is what drives the improved efficiency, brightness, and color performance found in the latest OLED screens.

i asked AI it said this
in short, no. it's considered gen3.

Keep in mind this gen3 vs gen 4 oled panel is a term by tftcentral. What it means is the oled tech developments which is sufficiently different to be considered a next gen tech development.

I see.. to me, my XG32UCWMG is very good, decent brightness, color is good, black is inky deep, and no ips glow like my previous U3223QE .

and i am selling it away for RM2k if anyone is interested.

I just bought XG32UCWMG, is it Gen4? and is it EL3.0?
I don't know much about those technical thingy.
