Samsung has just completed the launch of the top Galaxy S23 smartphone series as well as the new improved Galaxy Book 3 series. The products were excellent and have now been formally announced. Anyway, a fresh piece of information floating around the internet suggests that the company is ready to offer a 77-inch OLED TV as well as a 49-inch OLED Monitor. Both devices will be available for purchase in the near future. It appears that the brand is working on a tight timeline as its products prepare for release. A few days ago, some unknown Samsung K-series smartphones were also spotted online, which would also be released in the coming days.
According to TheElec, Samsung plans to launch a 77-inch OLED TV and a 49-inch OLED gaming monitor in Q1 2023. If this information is correct, Samsung will offer three OLED TV models and two OLED monitor models in its portfolio this year.
It is also worth noting that the brand demonstrated similar products at the CES 2023 exhibition. During CES 2023, the company displayed 55-inch, 65-inch, and 77-inch QD-OLED TVs, as well as 34-inch and 49-inch QD-OLED gaming monitors. We’re not sure if the report relates to the same 77-inch OLED TV and 49-inch Monitor that was shown at CES.
According to the report, these items will be branded under “Samsung OLED.” This is significant because the company now employs QD-OLED panels supplied by Samsung Display, but the branding suggests that it will be open to acquiring W-OLED panels from LG Display as well. According to the sources, the new TVs and monitors would continue to use QD-OLED panels supplied by the Samsung Display subsidiary.
Samsung had requested a 48-inch screen from Samsung Display, but the company declined and instead offered them a 49-inch panel. According to sources, this is because Samsung Display can get two 77-inch panels and two 48-inch panels from a single Gen 8.5 substrate, or two 77-inch and two 49-inch panels. This means that cutting out a 48-inch panel isn’t really more cost-effective for Samsung Display than taking out a 49-inch panel, thus there was no reason for them not to offer a larger panel. Display panel manufacturers can cut several sizes of panels from a single glass substrate.
So that concludes our post on the upcoming rumoured launch of a Samsung 77-inch OLED TV and a 49-inch OLED Monitor. What are your thoughts on the topic?
