Samsung Display QD-OLED Penta Tandem has been announced by the tech brand as its latest technology for its premium displays and monitors to maximize capabilities without losing sight of efficiency.
The display technology has a five-layer construction that's paired with newer organic materials that will allow energy to spread more evenly across the stack. This means that the displays can achieve greater brightness and longevity without having to use more power for greater efficiency as well as longevity.
Samsung Display QD-OLED Penta Tandem will be rolling out in several models including the 27-inch 4K, 31.5-inch 4K and the 34-inch WQHD, while the 49-inch Dual QHD model is also upcoming. The various models are slated to be a must-have amongst consumers looking to upgrade to solutions with impressive HDR capabilities and longevity to boot.
