Overview

  • Apple has asked Samsung Display and LG Display for information on a 24-inch OLED panel that matches the current iMac’s 218 PPI.
  • The requested target is roughly 600 nits peak brightness, about a 20% increase over the existing 500-nit 4.5K display.
  • This is an early RFI stage and specifications are not finalized ahead of any potential request for quotation.
  • Suppliers are expected to propose QD‑OLED and W‑OLED panels, including 5‑stack variants to raise brightness, because scalable RGB OLED for 20–30 inch sizes is not yet ready.
  • Panel development is aimed for completion around 2027–2028, with any OLED iMac likely to arrive later, as OLED MacBook Pro models are expected to precede it.
