At IMID 2026 in Busan, South Korea, Samsung Display showed off its first 16-inch OLED panel with 2.5K resolution and 300Hz refresh rate, suitable for gaming laptops. The company has yet to reveal information about brightness, HDR certification, response time, or exact pixel dimensions.

The new OLED panel is a major advancement over Samsung’s Display series of OLED laptop monitors launched at Computex 2026. At the time, the company’s OLED panels for gaming laptops had refresh rates ranging from 165Hz to 240Hz.
Recently, Samsung has also expanded its OLED technology for notebook computers into other areas. Last month, the company began shipping tandem OLED panels with brightness up to 1,600 cd/m² and supporting VESA DisplayHDR True Black certification. Currently, Lenovo, Asus, Dell and MSI are preparing products based on these panels.
Samsung has not revealed whether the new 300Hz panels will use a similar series structure. The company has not yet provided production plans, nor has it named a notebook manufacturer to produce the new 300 Hz OLED panels.
The IMID booth also displayed Samsung’s previously released 31.5-inch 4K 360Hz QD-OLED and 34-inch 21:9 360Hz QD-OLED panels. The 34-inch model has started production in December 2025, while the 31.5-inch 4K 360Hz panel is scheduled to be produced in the second half of 2026.
