New Samsung QD-OLED monitors incoming, with up to 360Hz refresh rate

Samsung has unveiled two new QD-OLED gaming displays that we anticipate to see debuted at CES 2024 in January 2024. The brand new fashions will provide as much as a 360Hz refresh price and UHD/4K decision, for some critically high-end gaming experiences.

Obtainable in a 32-inch or 27-inch measurement, the brand new Samsung shows might be competing for a spot on our best gaming monitor information, however can have stiff competitors from a bunch of different OLED gaming displays that we additionally anticipate to see introduced on the upcoming client electronics present.

The primary of the 2 new fashions will extra exactly be a 31.5-inch measurement and pack in a 4K decision, for a pixel density of 140 pixels per inch (ppi). That ought to guarantee it’s very sharp and shouldn’t endure from one of many important complaints some customers have with QD-OLED panels, which is that the subpixel construction (the crimson, inexperienced, and blue lights that make up every pixel) could make for a barely fuzzy look, notably across the edges of textual content.

What hasn’t been specified in regards to the new 32-inch Samsung OLED is what refresh price it should have. We might anticipate it to be a minimum of 120Hz, however whether or not it reaches as excessive as 240Hz, we’ll have to attend and see.

As for the second new Samsung monitor, it’s a 27-inch panel with a 1440p decision, so probably it should endure from that fuzziness talked about earlier, as its pixel density received’t be as excessive. However, once more we must wait and see. For gaming, although, this might be much less of a priority and also you’ll additionally be capable of benefit from this panel’s blistering 360Hz refresh price. Mixed with the extremely quick response time of OLED panels – usually beneath 0.5ms – this could make for an excellent responsive gaming monitor.

Though introduced via Samsung’s official channels, we don’t have any additional details about these shows but. The unique textual content, machine-translated by wccftech reads:

“Samsung Show, which makes use of QD-OLED to drive the expansion of the high-end show market, introduced on December 13 that it’s going to begin full-scale mass manufacturing of 31.5-inch UHD (3840×2160) decision QD-OLED from this month.

This new product achieves the very best degree of pixel density and UHD decision amongst self-luminous shows. Due to the extraordinary efficiency of self-luminous shows resembling quick response pace, it has already attracted the eye and expectations of shoppers earlier than its launch.”

Whatever the precise particulars, like most different competing OLED panels, the actual proof of those new Samsung shows might be in whether or not they’re priced at a degree that almost all players can afford or are prepared to pay. With typical pricing for these panels at present being a minimum of $800, they’re a premium choice. If these new Samsung panels can decrease that beginning value, we might lastly begin to see OLED make an even bigger dent within the gaming monitor market.
