QD-OLED expands to 24.5-inch displays, a key size for eSports and FPS gaming, with mass production set to begin by year-end
Samsung Display announced at gamescom 2026 that it plans to begin mass production of 24.5-inch FHD QD-OLED panels by the end of this year, targeting the FPS and eSports markets. As several global PC manufacturers unveiled plans at the event to launch new products featuring Samsung Display’s 24.5-inch QD-OLED displays, Samsung Display will begin supplying 24.5-inch FHD QD-OLED displays in response to customer demand.
The 24.5-inch format is widely used in the FPS and eSports markets, as its compact screen size allows players to quickly take in the entire display – an important advantage in games where split-second decisions and precise control matter. It has become a preferred choice among competitive gamers and is emerging as a key segment of the gaming monitor market.
Samsung Display plans to further strengthen QD-OLED’s proven technological leadership in the market by responding promptly to customer demand, including for 24.5-inch displays. According to market research firm Omdia, Samsung Display shipped approximately 2.5 million QD-OLED panels for monitors last year, accounting for nearly 75% of the overall self-emissive monitor panel market.
“Gaming is one of the areas where consumers can most directly experience a display’s fast response times and picture quality,” said Brad Jung, Vice President and Head of the Large Display Marketing Team at Samsung Display. “Through a wide range of gaming content, we will showcase the unique gaming experience offered by QD-OLED displays and further strengthen our leadership in the premium gaming market by expanding our product lineup to include the 24.5-inch segment.”
