Samsung Electronics and Dell have announced new gaming monitors that both use the same 34" curved QD-OLED panel.

Samsung has launched its Odyssey G8QNB, with a curved 34-inch QD-OLED panels that offers a resolution of 3440x1440, 175Hz refresh rate and a response time of 0.1 ms. The Dell monitor (shown above) offers the same display, which Dell promises to ship by March 2022.

Samsung Display officially launched its QD-Display panels at CES 2022, that use the company's QD-OLED technology. The company is producing three kinds of panels, 55" and 65" 4K panels for TVs and wide 34" panels for monitors

Samsung Display says that QD-OLED panels offer a superior image quality compared to LG's WOLED panels, mostly because QD-OLED is based on three RGB subpixels while WOLED is based on four WRGB subpixels. SDC says that its architecture enables higher brightness, better color fidelity and improved viewing angles.

Yesterday we reported that Samsung's official CES PR did not include its upcoming QD-OLED TVs, which was a disappointment. Today it turns out that Samsung is indeed progressing with its QD OLED TV technology, as CES event organizers awarded the 65" QD-Display TV with its Best of Innovation' 2022 award.

The CES text reveals that Samsung's TVs will support 144Hz refresh rate, four HDMI 2.1 inputs and Samsung's 2022 Neo Quantum Processor. We did not see the actual TV yet, and Samsung did not reveal any launch plans yet.

According to earlier reports, Samsung Electronics was planning to officially launch its first QD-OLED TV range at CES 2022, later this week.

But reports suggest that Samsung will not do so. The company will introduce new QLED and MicroLED TVs. The reports further say that Samsung Display is still struggling with QD-OLED production and could not produce enough panels for Samsung Electronics to start selling the TVs.

According to reports from Korea, Samsung Electronics plans to showcase its QD-OLED TVs in early 2022 (at CES 2022).

Earlier reports suggested that Samsung's first TVs will use 55-inch and 65-inch panels, produced by Samsung Display.

Samsung reported its financial results for Q3 2021, and the company states that it is on track to begin QD-OLED mass production in Q4 2021. Samsung hopes that QD-OLED TVs will start shipping to consumers in 2022.

Samsung says that its QD-OLED displays will offer many advantages over existing displays: including color reproduction, viewing angle, and brightness. Samsung is "quite confident" that QD-OLED would set the new standard, especially in the premium TV markets.

A new report from Korea says that Samsung Electronics aims to ship its first QD-OLED TV in the first half of 2022. The first TVs will be 55" and 65" in size, and these will be demonstrated in CES 2022 (in January). Later in 2022 the company will also introduce 70-inch QD-OLED TVs.

Samsung Display has already started to produce panel prototypes, and is on track to start mass production in Q3 2021.

Market Analysts from UBI Research say that following an analysis of 160 patents filed by Samsung Display related to its quantum dot nanorod LED (QNED) technology, it has come to the conclusion that SDC has has completed the development of the QNED display structure.

UBI says that Samsung still needs to find a way to maintain the number of aligned nanorod LEDs within each pixels, though, so the development is not finished yet.

DSCC sees fast growth ahead for the use of inkjet printing technologies for the production of quantum dots color conversion layers in OLED displays.

As you can see in the chart, the gray area represents the capacity (in 1,000 sqm) at Samsung's QD-OLED Fabs.

Samsung Electronics reported its financial results for Q1 2021. The company's revenues was 65.4 trillion Won (around $58.7 billion USD). Operating profit increased 4% from the past quarter to $8.4 billion, as Samsung enjoyed strong sales of phones and consumer electronics, which offset slower sales of displays and semiconductors.

Samsung Display says that for large displays, it will "channel all its efforts towards preparing for the mass production of QD displays".
