This year's Gamescom in Cologne attracted visitors' attention due to the collaboration between Samsung Display and SEGA. A special QD-OLED zone was created at the game producer's booth, where attendees could play the upcoming title Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds on 32-inch 4K QD-OLED monitors.
A total of 50 monitors were installed 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 featuring the OLED Care 2.0 panel protection system.
On site, attendees could see how QD-OLED technology performs in gaming – the wide colour gamut, deep blacks, and very fast response times contributed to an even greater sense of immersion. This was complemented by large QD-OLED televisions in sizes of 65 and 77 inches, on which gameplay footage was presented.
Quick Sonic in a Go-Kart!
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, which will debut in September, is a dynamic kart racing game featuring characters known from the Sonic series. Thanks to QD-OLED, it could be seen in an exceptionally stunning presentation – vibrant colours and contrasting tracks made the gameplay look impressive.
This is an interesting example of how panel and game manufacturers are increasingly collaborating to showcase new technologies in practice before they hit the market.
