Samsung has been on the forefront of the OLED gaming monitor pattern, however thus far it’s been principally desirous about gigantic, super-ultrawide screens with requisite gigantic value tags. In the lead-up to CES 2024, the corporate is displaying off smaller and extra accessible designs. a 31.5-inch 4K monitor and a 27-inch QHD monitor will likely be hitting the market someday subsequent yr.

The smaller sizes of those shows don’t imply they’ll be skimming on the gaming options. While the Quantum Dot panels forego any curve issue and don’t have the frilly stands of the Odyssey sequence, they’re significantly quicker, with refresh charges of as much as 360Hz. That’s based on a machine translation of the promotional publish from Samsung’s official Weibo account, first noticed by WCCFTech.

That smaller measurement and quicker refresh may make these screens way more interesting to the esports section, particularly the 27-inch 1440p mannequin. Thus far the superior vibrancy and distinction of OLED hasn’t swayed aggressive players away from a lot quicker VA and IPS panels, which can reach over 500Hz on essentially the most superior screens.

What about costs? In typical Samsung style, there’s no phrase. Hopefully the smaller panel sizes will include at the very least some sort of low cost, because it’s onerous to seek out any OLED monitor under the $800 mark. I wouldn’t look to Samsung to beat its opponents on worth, however they need to at the very least be cheaper than the OLED ultrawides at the moment in the marketplace.
