"Highest Resolution and Refresh Rate"... Samsung Display Unveils Two QD-OLED Monitors at 'CES 2025'

27-inch UHD (240Hz) · 500Hz (QHD) Unveiled

Samsung Display is targeting the premium monitor market by simultaneously unveiling QD-OLED products with the highest resolution and highest refresh rate among self-emissive monitors.

On the 6th, Samsung Display announced that it will showcase two new QD-OLED monitor products at CES 2025, the world's largest IT exhibition opening on the 7th (local time) in Las Vegas, USA. These include the world's first 27-inch UHD (240Hz) self-emissive gaming monitor and a 27-inch 500Hz (QHD) product with the highest refresh rate at the same resolution.

Global manufacturers such as Samsung Electronics, ASUS, and MSI have recently revealed their 2025 monitor lineups, announcing new products equipped with these panels. Samsung Display plans to begin full-scale mass production of both products in the first half of the year.

The 27-inch UHD (3840x2160) panel for monitors developed by Samsung Display features a pixel density of approximately 160 PPI (Pixels Per Inch), delivering sharp image quality rarely seen in existing 27-inch products. Compared to the 31.5-inch UHD product developed a year ago, both have UHD resolution, but due to the difference in screen size, the 27-inch model has a higher PPI and clearer image quality than the 31.5-inch (140 PPI) model.

Samsung Display stated, "The higher the PPI, the clearer the screen remains when text or images are enlarged, enabling detailed work during photo editing or video production. Especially when watching movies or playing games, users can experience vivid immersion."

The 27-inch QHD (2560x1440) product introduced alongside boasts a refresh rate of 500Hz, the highest among existing self-emissive monitors. It is also comparable to LCD monitors. Since 2022, 25-inch and 27-inch LCD monitors supporting a 500Hz refresh rate have appeared, but their image quality was limited to FHD (1920x1080) resolution. Notably, when a high refresh rate monitor combines with the fast response time (around 0.03ms) unique to self-emissive displays, users can enjoy much smoother and more natural visuals during fast-moving games or sports videos.

Jung Yong-wook, Vice President and Head of Strategic Marketing Team at Samsung Display’s Large Display Business Division, said, "The 27-inch model accounts for more than a quarter of the entire monitor market, and recently, the popularity of 27-inch gaming monitors has been rapidly increasing. With the addition of high resolution and high refresh rate specs to the preferred size by consumers, it is expected to make a significant impact in the gaming monitor market."
