With an enthusiastic press release, Samsung Display revealed that it had delivered 1 million units of its premium QD-OLED panels for monitors. An important milestone for the Korean company, achieved two and a half years after the launch of its QD-OLED technology on the market, which is favoring the transition from LCD to OLED monitors in the market.
Without going into too much detail about the differences with WOLED technology (used by LG and now enhanced with MLA), Samsung Display’s QD-OLED is a self-illuminating technology that uses blue OLED light filtered through a layer of Quantum Dots (QDs) to produce colors. Currently, the company’s QD-OLED lineup consists of 27-, 31.5-, 34- and 49-inch screens, and offers a variety of high-end specifications, including the OLED monitor industry’s highest resolution of 4K and a 360 Hz refresh rate.
Samsung Display has collaborated with 10 global monitor brands to launch over 90 QD-OLED monitors so far. Many of these are gaming-specific monitors, which have been particularly well received. You can also find a couple of examples here on Multiplayer.it, in our review of the MSI MPG 321URX monitor and that of the ASUS ROG Swift PG32UCDM.
Samsung then added that the QD-OLED products have also received positive reception from the market. OMDIA research firm forecasts that shares of self-illuminating monitor panels will grow 12.3% through 2029, reaching $1.03 billion. This would represent 10% of the entire monitor panel market.
Samsung Display currently ranks first in the self-illuminating monitor panel market, with a 79.7% share in the fourth quarter of 2023.
