Display technology rarely gets the spotlight at gaming events. At Computex 2026, Samsung Display wanted to change that.

The company invited media on a guided tour that explained how OLED and QD-OLED technologies continue to evolve. The experience covered everything from pixel structures and image quality comparisons to gaming demos powered by NVIDIA’s latest graphics cards.

The tour ended with Samsung Display’s newest showcase piece: what it calls the world’s first 31.5-inch 4K 360Hz QD-OLED monitor panel.

Why OLED still stands out

The tour began with a closer look at how Samsung’s OLED technology produces color. From there, visitors moved through a series of side-by-side comparisons between LCD and OLED displays.

The differences became easier to spot in dark scenes.

OLED panels can turn off individual pixels completely, allowing them to produce deeper blacks and stronger contrast. LCD displays still rely on a backlight, which can lead to blooming and reduced contrast in certain situations.

Samsung also highlighted the advantages of QD-OLED. By combining OLED technology with quantum dots, QD-OLED panels can deliver richer colors while maintaining OLED’s contrast and black-level performance.

The company positioned these advantages as increasingly important as games and content become more visually complex.

Gaming takes center stage

Gaming was a major focus throughout the tour.

Several stations demonstrated the differences between LCD and OLED panels during fast-moving scenes. Samsung Display highlighted OLED’s faster response times and reduced motion blur, especially in competitive titles and high-frame-rate content.

One of the featured experiences centered on Capcom’s upcoming sci-fi action-adventure game PRAGMATA. The game ran on systems powered by NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 graphics.

Samsung Display used the demo to show how OLED and QD-OLED panels can better showcase advanced rendering technologies such as path tracing and AI-enhanced image processing.

The dark environments, reflective surfaces, and dramatic lighting effects in PRAGMATA served as a practical example of how modern display technologies and modern GPUs can work together.

The future of display technology

Beyond gaming, Samsung Display also showcased several experimental concepts.

These included AI-powered display experiences, interactive demonstrations, and prototype displays designed to explore future applications of OLED technology.

Some concepts focused on user interaction while others highlighted the flexibility and versatility of next-generation display panels.

While many of these projects remain experimental, they offered a glimpse into how displays could evolve beyond traditional monitors and laptops.


A world’s first finale

The final stop was Samsung Display’s newest flagship monitor panel.

The company unveiled what it describes as the world’s first 31.5-inch QD-OLED monitor that combines 4K resolution with a 360Hz refresh rate.

Both specifications exist separately in today’s monitor market. Combining them into a single panel has traditionally been difficult due to the amount of data that must be processed and displayed in real time.

Samsung says it overcame those limitations through improvements to panel circuitry and driving technology.

The panel also supports Dual Mode, allowing users to switch to Full HD resolution and boost refresh rates up to 680Hz.

For gamers, that means the flexibility to prioritize either visual fidelity or maximum responsiveness depending on the game.

Whether the biggest takeaway was OLED’s image quality, NVIDIA-powered gaming demonstrations, or the impressive 4K 360Hz monitor itself, Samsung Display’s message was clear.

The race for better gaming experiences is no longer just about faster GPUs. Displays have become just as important.
