Samsung Display used the stage of Gamescom 2026 to announce a major expansion of its QD‑OLED portfolio: mass production of 24.5‑inch FHD QD‑OLED panels will begin before the end of the year, marking the company's first entry into one of the most strategically important sizes in competitive gaming. In parallel, Asus unveiled at the event four ROG Swift OLED gaming monitors featuring various 24.5-inch FHD QD-OLED panels from Samsung:
- Asus ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace specifications
- Asus ROG Strix OLED XG259QWPG Ace specifications
- Asus ROG Strix OLED XG259QDPG Ace specifications
- Asus ROG Strix OLED XG259QDNS Ace specifications
The company emphasized that expanding QD‑OLED into this segment is a natural next step in its strategy to strengthen leadership in premium gaming displays. QD‑OLED has already established itself as a top‑tier technology for contrast, color accuracy, and response time, and Samsung Display aims to bring those benefits to the size category most relied upon by competitive players.
Market data underscores the company's momentum: according to Omdia, Samsung Display shipped around 2.5 million QD‑OLED monitor panels last year, representing nearly 75% of the entire self‑emissive monitor market. The addition of a 24.5‑inch option positions Samsung Display to capture an even larger share of the esports‑focused segment.
