Samsung Develops 500Hz OLED Gaming Monitor, a First for 27-Inch Displays

The QD-OLED panel, aimed at competitive gamers, is in final development and expected to debut in early 2025.

Samsung is finalizing the development of a 27-inch QD-OLED gaming monitor with a 500Hz refresh rate, surpassing the current 480Hz maximum.
The panel features a 1440p resolution, combining Quantum Dot and OLED technologies for enhanced color accuracy, contrast, and HDR performance.
Gaming monitors featuring this panel are anticipated to launch in the first half of 2025, with potential showcases at CES 2025.
This high refresh rate is designed for competitive gaming in titles like Counter-Strike 2 and Valorant, though achieving 500 FPS at 1440p requires top-tier GPUs like the RTX 4090.
Samsung's innovation will challenge LG's 480Hz OLED display and reflects a broader trend of advancing high-refresh-rate, high-resolution gaming monitors.
