Description:
Samsungs OLED monitor with a 360Hz refresh rate has got PC gamers seriously 
excited.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Samsung has revealed a couple of new monitors  a 31.5-inch model, and 
27-inch, both OLED panels  which sound pretty nifty indeed, and we can expect 
to hear more about them at CES 2024 . 

Specifically, they are QD-OLED ( quantum dot OLED ) monitors, and the 27-inch 
version has a 1440p resolution with a 360Hz refresh rate. The larger 
31.5-inch panel sports a 4K resolution and a pixel density of 140 PPI 
(courtesy of an ultra-precise inject printing technology, Toms Hardware 
reports). 

The 27-inch QD-OLED monitor has a 0.03ms response time coupled with that 
360Hz refresh rate, and apparently the latter was achieved using a 
proprietary AI algorithm (known as Quantum Enhancer). Samsung definitely sees 
this screen as a challenger to get on our list of the best gaming monitors . 

Details are pretty thin on the ground at this point, but as mentioned we 
should hear more at CES next month  in fact, wed be flabbergasted if we 
didnt, given that Samsung is already priming these monitors for release. 

Samsung says it has started mass production on the 31.5-inch monitor and we 
can only assume that the smaller 1440p model will follow soon enough behind 
that (fingers crossed). Analysis: Taking the fight to TN 

That 27-inch gaming monitor in particular has caused quite a stir, as a 
standard 16:9 OLED panel (not ultra-wide , and not a curved screen either, 
but flat) has been long anticipated at this size (and previously rumored). 
Whats really stoking excitement is the revelation of the 360Hz refresh rate 
here. 

Remember that currently the fastest OLED panels top out at 240Hz, so this is 
a big leap in terms of the frame rate you can experience with an OLED monitor 
(a screen can only display high fps if it has a refresh rate to match what 
your PC reaches). Theres a lot of buzz about how smooth the gaming experience 
will be with this screen, and how it could compare favorably to even faster 
refresh rate TN (LCD) monitors. 

Weve got up to 500Hz (yes, you read that right) these days with the likes of 
TN panels from Asus, so a comparison with a 360Hz QD-OLED is something a lot 
of gamers looking for a high-end panel will be keen to see. 

There remain concerns about burn-in with OLED monitors (and TVs), mind you, 
and how Samsungs dealing with that issue will also be a keenly watched point 
of interest. Whether AI will come into play there, too, is something were 
equally keen to find out (as Gigabyte has already gone that route with new 
Aorus monitors). You also might like Check out all the best monitors Dell's
