QD-OLED Gaming Monitors to Hit Higher Speeds, New Sizes in 2024 – CNET

In mid-December, Samsung announced production of two QD-OLED panels targeted at gamers at new sizes and with higher refresh rates — a 32-inch 4K 240Hz screen and a 27-inch 1440p 360Hz screen. And where new screens go, new monitors are sure to follow, starting with the pre-CES launches of Samsung’s 32-inch G8 (G80SD) and new 27-inch G6 (G60SD), along with a refresh of the 49-inch Odyssey OLED G9 (G95SD) that incorporates a 5,120×1,440 240Hz panel. The two smaller models are flat, not curved.

LG also announced competing UltraGear OLED displays in mid-December; they don’t use the Samsung panels, but also now offer higher refresh rates, and are led by the dual-refresh 32-inch UltraGear 32 OLED, which does 4K at 240Hz and 1080p at 480Hz.

We don’t have any pricing or availability beyond “2024.”

All Samsung OLED/QD-OLED panels offer pixel refresh rates of about 0.03ms — that means you should care more about its absence in specs for a particular monitor rather than its breathless emphasis in marketing materials — and all three of the new Samsung monitors meet VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 requirements, support FreeSync Pro and have matte (antiglare) finishes. Both the G8 and G6 have stands that let you tilt, swivel, pivot, and raise or lower the screen.
