    Samsung working on tech breakthrough for 27-inch QD-Oled monitors for esports

    MUMBAI: For gaming enthusiasts, this could be a godsend. Samsung Electronics’ offshoot Samsung Display is currently working on a new Oled display monitor which would have a record refresh rate, according to reports appearing in south Korean media. The size of the panel: 27 inches. The resolution: QHD/1440p or 2560X1440 pixels. 

    Samsung Display combined quantum dot and Oled technologies, and achieved a 500Hz refresh rate for the first time ever in an Oled display. The display is in the final stage of development as Samsung seeks potential partners in the gaming monitor business. Hope is that commercial manufacture should begin soon and the new panel should arrive in the market during H1 2025.  Some say the launch could happen at CES in Las Vegas. The product is targeted at the esports market. 

    QD-Oled panels reportedly offer superior color vibrancy, deeper contrast, and improved performance compared to traditional LCDs. This aligns with a broader trend among display manufacturers like LG Display and Samsung Display, which  compete to push the boundaries of high-refresh-rate Oled  monitors in various sizes and resolutions. Samsung’s  achievement has outpaced the displays of both Asus and LG which have a maximum refresh rate of 480Hz.

    Research firms have pointed out that while  annual global monitor growth is expected to take place at one per cent between now and 2028, Oled displays are expected to grow at 34 per cent per annum on an average in the same period.

    According to online panel analyst, FlatPanelsHD , 2025 could come up with a new trend for 27-inch QD-Oled and WOled monitors.Chinese firm  Light Soul is burning the midnight oil and is planning to release a 27-inch QD-Oled monitor with a 4k resolution, a 240 Hz refresh rate and 1000 nits of peak brightness. 

    On the larger screen front, LG is likely to come out with a 45 inch WOled panel with a resolution greater than the existing 3440×1440 pixel resolution. Expectations are that it could touch  5120×2160 pixels. This could spark off another trend for monitor manufacturers and developers.
