abusedduckTo be fair... at the distance most people sit from their TVs, I don't think this would matter much. Their subpixel layout looks pretty sane to me, but I haven't seen them in person to compare. It looks like their using the white pixels to boost the surrounding pixels so the effect would probably look similar to anti-aliasing or image softening (again, haven't seen it in person, just speculating here).

FTA: As with any other 4K TV, the panels in these LCD models have 2160 horizontal scan lines with 3840 pixels in each line. The pixels in these LG models, however, are very different from what you’ll find in competing 4K TVs—and that difference has a negative impact on image quality. It’s an issue that flies beneath most consumers' radar because LG doesn’t disclose its departure from conventional standards in its advertising or published specifications.
4K RGB LCD: 11,520 subpixels in groups of red, green, and blue, forming 3840 RGB pixels per row. LG’s 4K RGBW OLED: 15,360 subpixels in groups of red, green, blue, and white, forming 3840 RGBW pixels per row LG’s RGBW LCD: 11,520 subpixels where only some groups have all three color elements. Every fourth red, green, or blue subpixel is replaced by a white subpixel to increase luminance. That still comes out to 3840 pixels per row, but there are only 2880 RGB groups staggered over those 3840 pixels.
