At CES in Las Vegas, there are products and new features on display on stands and visible to everyone, but sometimes there are also more technical details and innovations accessible only behind the scenes or in dedicated spaces. And it is often an opportunity to learn a little more about the technological directions being prepared by manufacturers. This year, Samsung took advantage of this event to present its vision of the next QD-OLED screens, emphasizing the past and future evolution of their definition.
5K on 27 inches, for playing or editing videos
27-inch screens are among the most popular for office use or gaming, and they generally display a QHD definition (2560×1440 pixels, or a resolution of 110 DPI with a monitor of this size). 4K UHD is usually reserved for gaming screens of 32 inches and above, although the number of 27-inch models capable of displaying this definition is increasing day by day. But Samsung wants to go even further and offer in the future a native definition of 5K (5120×2880 pixels) on a diagonal of 27 inches: enough to reach a resolution of 220 DPI, compared to 160 DPI in 4K. The manufacturer exhibited just such a prototype during CES equipped with a QD-OLED panel. According to FlatPanel HD, which was able to observe it in detail, the result is promising, with in particular a feeling of greater brightness.
Of course, 27-inch 5K QD-OLED screens are not expected before 2026 – at the earliest – on the market, but it is still interesting to note that this is the direction Samsung is heading in. Needless to say, playing with such a high definition will inevitably bring any current graphics card to its knees: with 78% more pixels to display compared to 4K UHD (14.7 million against “only” 8.3 million), we will have to wait another generation or two of high-end RTX or Radeon to hope to play in 5K. And probably use DLSS… 5?
