OLED Monitors In 2026: The Current Market Status

OLED displays don’t rely on a backlight to produce an image, which allows them to generate true blacks for a basically infinite contrast ratio.

Moreover, they have an instantaneous pixel response time for minimal motion blur in fast-paced games.

There are already numerous OLED TVs available that take full advantage of the points mentioned above, but what about OLED monitors?

In this article, we’ll keep you posted about everything related to OLED monitors, including potential release dates or any market status updates.

You can also check out our dedicated New Monitors article to check on the upcoming Mini LED and other displays.

32″ 4K 360Hz QD-OLED RGB Panel

Samsung has developed a 32-inch (31.5-inch viewable) 4K 360Hz QD-OLED panel. It’s the world’s first 4K 360Hz monitor and the first to receive VESA’s DisplayHDR True Black 600 certification, which should boost peak brightness to at least 600-nits for 10% APL and 350-nits for 100% APL.

In comparison, DisplayHDR True Black 500 requires 500-nits at a 10% APL and 300-nits at full-screen brightness, while True Black 400 requires 400-nits at 10% APL and 250-nits full-screen.

It also introduces Triple Mode support, allowing you to switch between 4K 360Hz, 1440p 520Hz and 1080p 680Hz modes.

The new panel will also feature a V-stripe RGB subpixel layout for sharper text and reduced color fringing.

MSI MPG 322URDX36

The MSI MPG OLED 322URDX36 is the first monitor to be announced using the new panel and it also reveals a peak brightness of 1500-nits for 3% APL, in addition to 600-nits 10% APL and 350-nits 100% APL.

It will feature the DarkArmor film, DisplayPort 2.1 with full UHBR20 speed, AI Care Sensor and a USB-C port with 98W PD.

We’ll share more information as it becomes available, though the monitor isn’t expected to launch before Q1 2027.

Other monitors based on the same panel:

• ASUS PG32UCDN
• Samsung G80SJ

24.5″ 1080p 540Hz W-OLED Panel

ASUS Strix OLED XG259QWPG ACE

ASUS released a teaser for a 24.5″ 1080p 540Hz Tandem W-OLED monitor, the ASUS Strix OLED XG259QWPG ACE for eSports gamers.

It features a glossy screen surface, RGWB subpixel layout and VESA DisplayHDR True Black 600, capable of reaching 1700-nits for 1.5% APL, 700-nits for 10% APL and 390-nits for 100% APL!

Other features include Proximity Sensor, ELMB up to 270Hz and a gallium nitride (GaN) based cooling solution that dissipates heat without the need for a fan.

It should be available in Q4 2026 for $700.

Other monitors using this panel:

• Gigabyte GO25F54G

24.5″ 1080p 720Hz W-OLED

ASUS PG259QWS Ace

ASUS has revealed yet another 24.5″ 1080p W-OLED gaming monitor with a whopping 720Hz refresh rate and a glossy screen surface, the ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace.

Just like the XG259QWPG Ace model, it has True Black 600 certification with a 1700-nits 1.5% APL and 390-nits 100% APL peak brightness. However, it will have a DP 2.1 port with full UHBR20 speed as well.

It also features a position sensor that tracks the monitor’s height, tilt, and swivel angle, with the measurements displayed on screen. This lets competitive players easily recreate the same monitor positioning when switching between different setups.

It should be available in Q4 2026 for $1100.

24.5″ 1080p 560Hz QD-OLED RGB

ASUS XG259QDPG Ace

Next, there’s a 24.5″ 1080p 560Hz QD-OLED panel in the works with the RGB stripe subpixel layout in the works. Instead of the traditional semi-glossy QD-OLED finish, ASUS opted for a matte anti-glare coating.

Further, it will have an 1800-nit 1.5% APL peak brightness. It should be available in Q1 2027. More info to come.

Other monitors using this panel:

• Dell AW2527HX – also with matte anti-glare coating

24.5″ 1080p 360Hz QD-OLED RGB

ASUS XG259QDNS Ace

Finally, there’s also a 24.5″ 1080p QD-OLED RGB variant with a lower 360Hz refresh rate. Just like the 560Hz model, it features a matte anti-glare coating, an 1800-nit peak brightness and should be available in Q1 2027.

27″ 1440p 320Hz QD-OLED Panel

MSI MAG OLED 271QPX32

The MSI MAG OLED 271QPX features Samsung’s fourth-gen 27″ 1440p 320Hz QD-OLED panel. It boasts DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification with a 1300-nit peak brightness, but doesn’t have the new V-stripe RGB subpixel layout that’s featured in the 5th-Gen ultrawide panel.

It will also have the new DarkArmor Film technology for 40% better black depth and 2.5x better scratch resistance. Other features include MSI OLED Care 2.0, Uniform Luminance to minimize ABL, two HDMI 2.1 ports, DP 1.4 and USB-C with DP Alt Mode and 15W PD.

Other than that, MSI advertised some advantages QD-OLED technology offers over other OLED panels, such as QuantumView verification.

The MAG OLED 271QPX32 and all MSI QD-OLED monitors have received QuantumView™ verification from UL Solutions. At a 60-degree viewing angle, it maintains an impressive 83%* luminance retention (compared to just 44% for conventional OLEDs) with exceptionally low color shift. This ensures the picture remains sharp and color-accurate, no matter where users view the screen from.

Better gamma shift handling during VRR performance.

Existing OLED panels often suffer from gamma shifts when switching refresh rates or enabling Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), leading to a loss of shadow detail known as “black crush.” QD-OLED monitors overcome this issue. The MAG OLED 271QPX32 features superior low-gray processing capabilities, maintaining consistent gamma performance at any refresh rate to deliver perfect deep blacks and shadow details.

And finally, better panel uniformity.

The entire QD-OLED lineup provides a fundamental solution to the gray banding and screen uniformity issues that have long plagued conventional OLED panels. The MAG OLED 271QPX32 completely eliminates banding interference, delivering a clean, flawless picture.

It should be available in December 2026 for $550.

Other monitors using the same panel:

• ASUS XG27ACDMSR
• AOC AG277QSD
• Gigabyte GO27Q32 – Q4 2026

27″ 1440p 400Hz QD-OLED RGB Panel

Gigabyte MO27Q40

Gigabyte has revealed the Gigabyte MO27Q40, featuring a 1440p 400Hz QD-OLED panel.

It uses a new panel with an RGB stripe subpixel layout, which should provide sharper text without colored fringing. Other specifications, such as peak brightness, haven’t been revealed yet, though we expect it to reach at least 300 nits at 100% APL and 1,300 nits at 3% APL, similar to the latest 34″ ultrawide models.

The panel is expected to enter mass production in January, with the monitor likely to become available around March or April 2027. Pricing hasn’t been announced yet.

49″ 5120×1440 360Hz QD-OLED RGB Panel

Samsung G95SJ

Samsung announced that they’re working on a new 49″ 5120×1440 360Hz QD-OLED panel with the improved True Black 500 certification and a 1300-nit 3% APL peak brightness. It will also have the RGB stripe subpixel layout for sharper text, as well as a 2560×720 720Hz Dual Mode.

The monitor should be available in H1 2027.

27″ 5K 120Hz W-OLED RGB Panel

LG Display showcased a prototype 27″ 5K (5120×2880) 120Hz Tandem W-OLED panel with an RGB stripe subpixel layout. It has a peak brightness of 250-nits for 100% APL and will have VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification. Peak HDR brightness for small APLs hasn’t been revealed.

No word on pricing and availability yet.

27″ 1440p 540Hz W-OLED RGWB TB-1000 Panel

At Computex 2026, LG teased a next-generation 27″ 1440p 540Hz W-OLED RGWB panel featuring VESA DisplayHDR True Black 1000 certification with a peak brightness of 2,000-nits for 1.5% APL and 560-nits for 100% APL!

Since it’s still in the prototype stage, there’s no information yet on when this panel could reach the market.

LG also confirmed the return of panel-level BFI (Black Frame Insertion) support on some future panels, which will decrease latency in comparison to scaler-based BFI implementations and allow for higher brightness operation. Sadly, it will still be limited to half the native refresh rate (240Hz native limited to 120Hz BFI, for instance).

For 2028, LG plans to enhance its Dynamic Frequency Resolution (DFR) technology.

• DFR 1.0 – Multi-Mode support (for example, 4K 240Hz, 1440p 360Hz and 1080p 480Hz, similar to Samsung’s latest QD-OLED panels)
• DFR 2.0 – boosts the refresh rate by up to four times in Dual Mode, reaching as high as 1000Hz (for instance, 4K 240Hz to 1080p 960Hz)

They’re also working on new screen coatings, including a glossy finish with just 0.3% reflectance, down from the current 1.1%, as well as a lower-cost option with 4.4% reflectance and 3% haze for entry-level glossy monitors.

45″ 5K2K 165Hz W-OLED RGWB Panel

LG is also working on a 45″ 5120×2160 165Hz W-OLED RGWB panel with True Black 600, capable of reaching 1700-nits for 1.5% APL and 390-nits for 100% APL.

In addition, there’s a 45″ 3440×1440 240Hz W-OLED RGWB panel with True Black 600 certification in the works.

These are expected in Q2 2027.

Here’s some information about the 2026 OLED monitors that are currently available.

32″ 4K 240Hz QD-OLED Panel

Ahead of CES 2026, we found out that there’s going to be a new lineup of 32″ 4K 240Hz QD-OLED monitors, now with the improved True Black 500 brightness performance.

MSI MPG 322UR & MAG 321UP QD-OLED X24

MSI announced two monitors based on the upgraded 32″ 4K 240Hz QD-OLED panel with True Black 500, the MSI MPG 322UR QD-OLED X24 and the MSI MAG 321UP QD-OLED X24.

Both models feature MSI’s new DarkArmor film that improves black depth by 40%, removes the magenta tinting and upgrades the screen surface hardness from 2H to 3H for 2.5x better scratch resistance.

They also feature MSI’s new Uniform Luminance feature, which allows you to adjust HDR brightness for specific APLs in order to minimize ABL brightness fluctuations.

The MPG 322UR variant has the AI Care Sensor, a USB 3.0 hub and a USB-C port with 98W PD, whereas the MAG 321UP only has a USB-C port out of those features, and with a lower 15W PD.

We have reviewed the MSI MPG 322UR QD-OLED X24 variant.

There are several more monitors based on the same panel by other manufacturers:

• ASUS PG32UCDM3 – with Dolby Vision support, but more expensive
• Gigabyte MO32U24 – without high PD over USB-C, DP 2.1, Presence Sensor or BFI support
• BenQ EX321UZ – without presence sensor
• Samsung S32HG80 G80SH – with matte anti-glare coating, no built-in KVM

32″ 4K 240Hz W-OLED Panel

ASUS ROG Strix XG32UQWMS

The ASUS XG32UQWMS is a 32″ 4K 240Hz Tandem W-OLED panel with 1080p 480Hz Dual Mode and a glossy screen coating.

It improves upon the previous generation with the new True Black 500 certification and up to 1500-nits peak brightness.

Note that it won’t feature the new RGB-Stripe layout like the recently announced ASUS PG32UCWM, so it’s mainly a brightness upgrade over the previous-gen models, such as the LG 32GS95UE, 32GS95UV-W and the 32GX870A.

Another big upgrade is color luminance.

Thanks to its Tandem W-OLED, it offers 25% larger color volume in comparison to previous-gen 32″ 4K 240Hz W-OLED panels, resulting in more vibrant and brighter colors, and therefore, higher perceived brightness.

The XG32UQWMS has the TrueBlack glossy coating, which offers improved blacks and reflection handling than the previous-gen XG32UCWMG model.

Other features include the Neo Proximity Sensor, DP 1.4, two HDMI 2.1 ports and a USB hub. It’s available for $900.

There are a few more models based on the same panel:

• LG 32GX870B – only a 2-year warranty
• AOC AGP327UZD – matte anti-glare
• Gigabyte FO32U24G – glossy
• Gigabyte FO32U24GP – glossy, with DP 2.1 UHBR20

32″ 4K 240Hz W-OLED RGB Panel

ASUS PG32UCWM

The ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCWM is based on LG’s 32″ 4K 240Hz Tandem W-OLED with a true RGB subpixel layout and ASUS’ TrueBlack Glossy coating.

Since it doesn’t have a white subpixel layout, the brightness is lower than that of the RGWB panel with VESA’s DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification and a 1,000-nit peak brightness for 1.5% APL.

However, you get a higher color luminance (up to 27% larger color volume according to ASUS and LG), resulting in more vibrant and brighter colors, and therefore higher perceived brightness.

In comparison to the XG32UCWMG with the Tandem W-OLED panel (1500 nits 1.5% APL), the PG32UCWM has higher color luminance in darker (small APL) scenes, whereas the XG32UCWMG has brighter colors in brighter (high APL) scenes.

When compared to previous-gen 32″ 4K 240Hz W-OLED panels, the PG32UCWM has similar color brightness in bright scenes, but gets notably brighter in darker scenes.

Both of the new W-OLED panels (Tandem and Tandem RGB) now have color luminance similar to that of QD-OLED panels. The colors are still not quite as bright, but they’re much closer.

Other features include Delta E < 2 factory calibration, 1080p 480Hz Dual Mode, DP 2.1 with full UHBR20 speed, USB-C with 90W PD, KVM, Neo Proximity Sensor and Dolby Vision support.

The monitor also features a gallium nitride (GaN)-based cooling solution that improves power efficiency and reduces heat output by up to 10% compared to previous designs, helping extend the panel’s lifespan.

It’s available for $1400.

Best 32″ 4K 240Hz OLED?

So, which one of these three types of new 32″ 4K 240Hz OLED displays is for you? We feel that the choice mostly comes down to price or specific features for most users.

Unlike the previous-gen 32″ 4K 240Hz W-OLED panels, the new Tandem models don’t offer as accurate EOTF tracking. They’re now more similar to QD-OLED.

There’s a True Black mode that provides accurate tracking but limits brightness to around 450 nits, and a mode that allows the display to reach its maximum brightness at the expense of image accuracy.

On ASUS models, the latter raises shadows and midtones, whereas on QD-OLEDs, the trade-off is reduced brightness in brighter (high APL) scenes.

In the end, thanks to the improved color luminance of the new Tandem W-OLED panels, the overall image quality of all three displays is quite similar.

Due to their high pixel density, fringing on small text and fine details isn’t an issue for most users on the QD-OLED and RGWB W-OLED models. As a result, the RGB-stripe Tandem W-OLED model will mainly appeal to those who are particularly sensitive to fringing artifacts.

The W-OLED models also have an advantage under direct lighting, as they don’t suffer from the raised blacks seen on semi-glossy QD-OLEDs. This makes W-OLED a better choice for users who frequently use their monitor in a brightly lit room.

On the other hand, some users may consider the 1080p 480Hz Dual Mode a must-have, which favors the models that support it, while others may prefer the QD-OLED models to avoid the gray banding seen on W-OLEDs.

There are also differences in features to consider. ASUS’ models support BFI at 120Hz, making them particularly well-suited for consoles, while USB-C and built-in KVM may favor certain models depending on your setup. Pricing is another important factor. We find that the MSI MAG 321UP QD-OLED X24 offers excellent value for money, as it can be found for around $780.

32″ 4K 165Hz W-OLED RGB Panel

Dell Alienware AW3226Q

There’s also a 32″ 4K W-OLED panel with the RGB stripe subpixel layout with a lower 165Hz refresh rate, and the Dell Alienware AW3226Q is the first monitor announced using it.

It also has a glossy screen coating and the same 250-nits 100% APL and 1000-nits 1.5% APL peak brightness with True Black 400 certification. Other features include Delta E < 2 factory calibration and Dolby Vision support.

Connectivity options DP 1.4, two HDMI 2.1 ports, USB-C with 15W PD, two USB-A ports and a headphone jack.

It will be available this fall for $700.

27″ 4K 240Hz W-OLED RGB Panel

LG also developed a 27″ 4K 240Hz OLED panel with true RGB subpixel layouts in 2026. This layout almost completely removes issues with colored fringing on small text and fine details.

Since it lacks a white subpixel (like the previous-gen RGWB and RWBG panels), this new LG monitor will have a lower brightness of 1000-nits 1.5% APL and 500-nits 10% APL despite using the latest Tandem W-OLED panel.

However, this also means that it has a higher color luminance.

ASUS ROG Swift PG27UCWM

The ASUS PG27UCWM is the first monitor available with the 27″ 4K 240Hz W-OLED Tandem RGB-stripe panel.

It has DisplayHDR True Black 400 (1000-nits 1.5% APL peak), Dolby Vision support, TrueBlack glossy screen surface, Neo Proximity Sensor, DP 2.1 (UHBR20), HDMI 2.1 and USB-C (DP Alt Mode and 90W PD).

It’s available for pre-order for $1200.

39″ 5120×2160 165Hz W-OLED Panel

LG 39GX950B

The LG 39GX950B features a 165Hz refresh rate with 2560×1080 330Hz Dual Mode, a more subtle 1500R screen curvature, matte anti-glare coating and DisplayHDR True Black 500 (peak brightness should be 1500-nits for 1.5% APL).

It’s also equipped with LG’s new AI tools, such as 5K2K AI Upscaling, AI Scene Optimization and AI Sound.

Connectivity options include DP 2.1, two HDMI 2.1 ports and USB-C with 90W PD.

It’s now available for $1800.

Dell Alienware AW3926QW

The Dell Alienware AW3926QW is a 39″ 5120×2160 165Hz ultrawide gaming monitor based on a Tandem W-OLED panel with a 1500R curvature.

However, unlike LG’s model, the Dell AW3926QW will have a true RGB stripe subpixel layout (instead of RGWB) for sharper text and a glossy screen surface for a more vivid image quality.

Without the white subpixel, the brightness will be a bit lower (300-nits for 100% APL instead of 335-nits, and 1300-nits for 1.5% APL instead of 1500-nits), but color luminance should be higher.

The monitor has VESA’s DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification, Delta E < 2 factory calibration, 99.5% DCI-P3 color gamut, OLED Anti-Flicker, a 3-year burn-in warranty and Dolby Vision support.

It boasts an ergonomic stand and extensive connectivity options, including DP 2.1 with UHBR20, two HDMI 2.1 ports (one with eARC support), USB-C with DP Alt Mode and 90W PD, a headphone jack, a dual-USB 3.0 hub and built-in KVM.

Finally, it has a 2560×1080 330Hz Dual Mode and supports a few more different screen size emulations (24.5″ 1520×855 330Hz, 27″ 1680×945 330Hz and 31.5″ 3840×1260 165Hz).

Update: The Dell Alienware AW3926QW is now available.

34″ 3440×1440 360Hz QD-OLED RGB Panel

Samsung revealed that they’ve started the supply of a 34″ 3440×1440 ultrawide QD-OLED panel with a 360Hz refresh rate, improved 1300-nit peak brightness, and a new V-Stripe RGB subpixel layout that should eliminate the issues with fringing on small text and fine details.

MSI MPG 341CQR QD-OLED X36

The MSI MPG 341CQR QD-OLED X36 features a brand-new 3440×1440 360Hz QD-OLED panel with a V-stripe RGB subpixel layout for virtually no fringing on small text and fine details, even on medium pixel density displays.

It also boosts the peak brightness for 3% APL from 1000-nits to 1300-nits, and has a new DarkArmor Film screen coating that eliminates the infamous magenta cast, improves black depth by 40% and is 2.5x more scratch-resistant.

As you can see from our 341CQR X36 review, the subpixel layout is no longer in a triangular shape like it was on previous-gen QD-OLED panels.

The red and green subpixels are longer than the blue subpixel – unlike with typical RGB layouts, where all subpixels are the same length, but in real use, there is no colored fringing on small text and fine details.

Here’s the image of the MSI MPG 341CQR X36 next to the MSI MPG 271QR X50, which uses the 4th-gen QD-OLED panel. Both monitors also have roughly the same pixel density.

Notice the thin green line at the top of the window and the magenta line at the bottom on the MSI MPG 271QR X50 (right). There’s also some green and magenta fringing around the ‘New folder’ text.

In comparison, the MSI MPG 341CQR X36 on the left shows virtually no fringing, aside from a faint red line along the left edge of the window.

Next, here’s how its brightness compares to the previous-gen QD-OLED panel.

Here are some images of the new screen coating from our review.

This is the same LED light bar aimed at both screens. You can see that the 271QR X50 reflects the LEDs with a purplish tint, which gives blacks that infamous magenta cast. On the 341QR X50, the reflected LEDs appear more greenish and closer to white, resulting in a more natural-looking reflection.

Here you can see how both screens handle an LED lamp and a softbox light aimed at the screen.

Other specs include DP 2.1 (UHBR13.5), two HDMI 2.1 ports, USB-C (98W PD and DP Alt Mode), a dual-USB 3.0 hub, built-in KVM, OLED Care 3.0, AI Care Sensor (human presence detection), BFI up to 180FPS and a new design with a smaller footprint. It also offers the Uniform Luminance feature, which allows you to reduce brightness at specific APLs (14 levels available) in order to minimize ABL.

It’s available for $950.

TCL CSOT are also planning their first OLED panel using inkjet printing.

A 27″ 4K 120Hz panel is scheduled to enter mass production in July 2026, featuring a true RGB subpixel layout, 300-nits peak SDR brightness at 100% APL (1000-nits peak for smaller APL), 99% DCI-P3 and True Black 500 certification.

The first monitor announced that’s using the panel is the MSI Pro Max OLED 271UPJW12. It has Delta E < 2 factory calibration, an anti-glare coating with 3H hardness, built-in KVM, USB-C with 15W PD and PiP/PbP support.

To maintain peak performance over time, the PRO MAX OLED 271UPJW12 features MSI OLED Care with Data Counting Compensation (DCC). It automatically performs panel compensation in the background, eliminating disruptive refresh prompts for an uninterrupted workflow and gaming experience.
