To date, screens with OLED technology were reserved only for the ecosystem of smartphones (small screens) or high-end televisions (very large screens), which left the computer monitors, which generally use an intermediate screen size (currently 24 to 34 inches is the most common). It looks like things will change from next year, as rumors suggest the two LG What Samsung They are already working on PC monitors with OLED technology, which will be announced at CES next year.
Before we throw the bells on the fly, we need to warn you that, for now and to our knowledge, this information is based only on leaks and rumors so far, so we need to treat it as such. Overall, these rumors claim that the CES 2022 which will take place in Las Vegas earlier this year will be the setting chosen by LG and Samsung for the presentation of their first OLED monitors which, by size, would be PC oriented.
The first OLED PC monitors, from Samsung and LG
All technicians know that OLED matrix displays have been around for some time. The problem here is that the OLED screens we have are either very small, like those on smartphones, or very large, like high-end TVs (although to be true, there are also OLED laptops and tablets). However, and although some users use these large screens for their PC, in reality it is not a niche market that is used a lot since with such a large screen you have to sit very far away, and that on PC n is not always possible.
The point is that, as we said at the beginning, the most used screen size on PC is 24 to 34 inches, and that is that a larger screen requires the user to sit more. away so you can see the whole panorama without having to turn your neck, but when working with the keyboard and mouse this is not always possible. Because of this, the need for manufacturers to create a mid-size screen size has been around for quite some time, and it’s unfortunately only now that the solution has started to emerge on the horizon.
For its part, it is said that LG will launch a 42-inch variant of its C-Series TVs, and while we’ll have to wait for their announcement at CES for the exact tech specs, they will most likely have features like HDMI 2.1, HDMI-VRR and probably AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-SYNC. It is true that the 42 inches is even larger than usual on a PC, but it is still a format that is starting to be used often, especially with the proliferation of video game consoles.
On the other hand, there are also rumors that Samsung you are working on a 34 inch diagonal QD-OLED series PC monitor. Even less is known about these products than about LG’s and we will also have to wait for their official announcement at CES, but according to the network’s lies, it is indicated that the manufacturer is already producing them in series so that they will have immediately availability upon your announcement.
Of course, it should be borne in mind that QD-OLED is not exactly the same as OLED, although it is true that both types of display use Quantum Dot technology. Either way, it looks like this tech is finally and definitely getting closer to the PC ecosystem, which is great news for users looking for the best picture quality and color rendition.
