Samsung's new QD-OLED panel delivers 4K at 360Hz — and 680Hz in competitive mode

Samsung Display has unveiled a 31.5-inch QD-OLED panel at Computex 2026 that combines 4K (3840×2160) resolution with a 360Hz refresh rate — a combination previously considered unachievable on a self-emissive display. The technology behind it, called Penta Tandem, uses five stacked blue OLED layers instead of four. A Dual Mode drops to 1080p and pushes the refresh rate to 680Hz for competitive gaming. Actual monitors are expected in late 2026 or early 2027.
