Samsung has been a leader in the OLED monitor market for years, mainly due to its own QD-OLED panels. However, there is increasing talk about something that not long ago seemed unlikely – that the company is preparing monitors based on WOLED technology. And, interestingly, the panels do not necessarily have to come from LG Display.
FlatpanelsHD had already heard these reports before, but only now have truly credible details emerged. From leaks from the Chinese source Channelgate, described by WCCFTech, a list of Samsung monitor models for 2026 is taking shape: S27HG612SC (27" G61SH), S27HG802SC (27" G80SH), S32HG802SC (32" G80SH), and S27HG702WC (27" G70SH). Importantly, the naming convention aligns with what has already leaked regarding Samsung OLED televisions for 2026 – the series will switch from the "G" designation to "H," like S95H, S90H, and S85H.
WOLED at Samsung – but from whom?
The most intriguing model appears to be the S27HG702WC, which is expected to hit the market around June 2026. It is to be the first Samsung monitor with a WOLED panel, 4K resolution, and dual-mode 165/330 Hz. It would be logical to assume that the panel comes from LG Display – especially since the Koreans have been producing OLED panels with dual refresh modes (165/300 Hz) for years. However, the situation is starting to complicate. In August, The Elec reported that Samsung is in talks with the Chinese manufacturer BOE regarding the supply of WOLED panels for monitors. Furthermore, Samsung is said to have inquired with BOE about the possibility of producing WOLED panels for televisions as well.
If this is confirmed, it would represent a significant shift in the market – WOLED would no longer be the domain of LG Display, and Samsung would become independent from two competitors at once. Currently, all Samsung OLED monitors use QD-OLED panels, while in televisions, the company mixes technologies: depending on the model and diagonal, it uses either QD-OLED or WOLED. The reason is simple – Samsung Display is unable to meet the entire demand of the TV division. The market for OLED monitors is growing at an explosive rate – according to TrendForce, by as much as 86 percent year on year in 2025. It is no wonder that Samsung is preparing an offensive.
Leaks Regarding Samsung Monitors for 2026
According to Channelgate (machine translation), the release schedule looks as follows:
Week 1
S27FG604SC – 27-inch QD-OLED 2K 500 Hz monitor. This is a variant of the G60SF series, with one less USB cable than the 602SC model.
Week 6
S27HG612SC – 27” QD-OLED 2K 240 Hz. A simplified version of the G61SD, without height and rotation adjustment.
Week 17
S27HG802SC and S32HG802SC – QD-OLED 4K 240 Hz in 27” and 32” sizes. Compared to the G80SD, they add 90 W USB-C charging and transition to DisplayPort 2.1.
Week 20
S27HG702WC – Samsung's first WOLED monitor, 4K 165 Hz + FHD 330 Hz mode.
What does it mean?
If the leaks are confirmed, Samsung is preparing the biggest revolution in its monitor lineup yet for 2026:
QD-OLED will still be the basis of the premium series, but expanded with newer ports and USB-C 90 W,
finally, the long-awaited 32” 4K 240 Hz QD-OLED will appear,
and the cherry on top will be WOLED from… someone. LG Display? BOE? Or maybe both?
One thing is certain – the OLED monitor market is entering a completely new phase, where not only technology but also the supply chain can change the balance of power. In 2026, Samsung plans to compete for every segment.
