At this year's Gamescom in Cologne, visitors were drawn to the collaboration between Samsung Display and SEGA. At the game producer's booth, a special QD-OLED zone was created, where attendees could play the upcoming title Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds on 32-inch 4K QD-OLED monitors.
In total, 50 monitors were installed, prepared in collaboration with Dell and MSI. Among them were models such as Alienware AW3225QF, the first 4K QD-OLED monitor with a refresh rate of 240 Hz, Dell S3225QC optimised for consoles, and MSI MAG321UP with OLED Care 2.0 panel protection system.
On-site, attendees could see how QD-OLED technology performs in games – the wide colour gamut, deep blacks, and very fast response times contributed to an even greater sense of immersion. Large QD-OLED TVs in sizes of 65 and 77 inches complemented the experience, showcasing gameplay snippets.
Fast Sonic in a Go-Kart!
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, debuting in September, is a dynamic kart racing game featuring characters from the Sonic series. Thanks to QD-OLED, it could be seen in an exceptionally stunning presentation – vivid colours and contrasting tracks made the gameplay look impressive.
This is an interesting example of how panel and game manufacturers are increasingly joining forces to showcase new technologies in practice before they hit the market.
