Samsung Begins Mass Production of 34-Inch 360Hz V-Stripe QD‑OLED Panels for CES 2026 Debut

A new vertical RGB pixel layout targets sharper text, supported by material and design gains that enable high‑refresh ultrawide OLED monitors.

Overview

  • Samsung Display says shipments of the 34-inch V‑Stripe QD‑OLED panels to seven manufacturers, including ASUS, MSI, and Gigabyte, began in December 2025.
  • The panel features a 21:9 ultrawide format, a 360Hz refresh rate, and peak brightness up to 1,300 nits.
  • The V‑Stripe sub‑pixel design aligns red, green, and blue vertically to improve text edge clarity compared with earlier triangular QD‑OLED layouts.
  • Samsung cites improvements in organic material efficiency and design optimization to address heat, lifespan, and brightness challenges at high refresh rates.
  • The technology will be shown at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, with ASUS and MSI set to introduce monitors using the panel and Samsung Display hosting demos at the Encore at Wynn; Omdia forecasts rising OLED penetration in premium monitors.
