New 27-inch QD-OLED from Samsung. The monitors will be faster, brighter, and more durable.

Calendar 5/22/2026

Samsung Display has unveiled a new generation 27-inch QD-OLED panel designed for gaming monitors. The new screen uses Penta Tandem technology and is expected to offer higher brightness, greater durability, and faster refresh rates than previous models.

New generation QD-OLED accelerates up to 320 Hz

The new panel still offers a resolution of 1440p, but the refresh rate has increased from 280 Hz to 320 Hz. The manufacturer also emphasizes the extremely low response time of 0.03 ms, which remains one of the greatest advantages of OLED over traditional LCD screens. Samsung is using Penta Tandem technology here, a new five-layer structure responsible for improving the brightness and lifespan of the panel. According to the company, the new generation of QD-OLED is expected to offer up to twice the lifespan.

The first monitor to use the new screen will be the MSI 271QPX32. The monitor is expected to offer brightness levels of up to 1300 nits, a DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification, and systems to protect against OLED burn-in. The manufacturer has also applied a new QuantumBlack layer, which MSI refers to as DarkArmor. The new coating is designed to better handle light reflections and reduce the effect of elevated black levels in bright rooms. The screen is also said to be more resistant to scratches.
