Samsung Display Showcases Sixteen New Gaming Panels Featuring Ultra Slim Laptop Tech and World First 4K 360 Hz Refresh Rates and Penta Tandem Technology
Samsung Display is bringing its latest in gaming hardware to the Computex expo at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center. The official Samsung Display exhibition preview states that it will be unveiling 16 new screens, all tailored for gaming and interactive entertainment. The product line includes everything from the new, smaller 8.8 inch OLED panels, designed to be featured in portable gaming PC devices, to new 49 inch QD OLED monitors intended for use in more hardcore desktop gaming setups.
A key part of the laptop display offerings is the public debut of an ultra slim OLED panel. The outside edge of the display module on the new display is thinner by more than 20% than current mass production models. Engineers developed the display module's thin edge by etching the thin film transistor substrate glass and encapsulation glass down by more than 30%. The process uses specialized chemical engineering techniques, preventing distortion during the process of thinning down glass substrates, allowing for more flexibility in device design.
The structural reduction in size does not hinder the quality or responsiveness of the displays. The new laptop panels now meet the True Black 1000 specification under Display HDR from VESA. This requires the screen to display black colors at less than 0.0005 nits, while achieving a peak brightness of 1000 nits, refresh rates from 165 Hz up to 240 Hz, and a ClearMR 11000 motion rating (110 times more clear pixels than blurry pixels).
For the monitor display category Samsung Display will be offering what they claim to be the world first self emissive display capable of both 4K resolution and a 360 Hz refresh rate simultaneously. Until now, individual devices could only offer either of these features individually, as the immense data required per second puts a lot of pressure on the inner drive circuits. However, Samsung Display achieved the combined specs by improving its inner circuits and optimization logic to allow for faster pixel charging times.
Visitors can also see demonstrations of their newly created QD OLED Penta Tandem technology in the demo zones. This design places the blue organic light emitting diode stack layers on top of each other five instead of four times and uses new organic compounds. The combination makes for significantly higher brightness efficiency and longer panel lifespan, providing better contrast for bright lights within games. Other monitors will include a 34 inch QHD+ panel that has been certified as True Black 500 as well as an improved V Stripe pixel layout for clearer text.
The new self emissive display panels can be experienced side by side with typical LCD displays through interactive gaming demos. In a fast paced rhythm game, visitors can see how the 500 Hz QD OLED 27 inch monitor is a clear upgrade from a liquid crystal display due to how quickly the pixels change. Darkness during in game sequences are showcased in a puzzle game on a 31.5 inch UHD QD OLED monitor and the 16 inch laptop display while color accuracy is presented through a visual puzzle display comparison.
Major game publishers will provide games that can be experienced on Samsung Display hardware. Competitive first person shooters require low latency from display hardware, and that will be shown in PUBG Battlegrounds on a 500 Hz QD OLED 27 inch monitor. Players can experience the stunning visuals of the new Crimson Desert open world on a 16 inch 2.5K laptop display. F1 25 players can try out a 49 inch Dual QHD monitor with their wide viewing angle display technology, while DJMAX Respect V will be available to play on both a 31.5 inch monitor and an 8.8 inch handheld gaming PC.
