That 4K 32-inch OLED gaming monitor you've been waiting for will finally arrive in summer 2024
We touched on the potentially perfect OLED monitors a couple of months ago, but now it's been confirmed by a representative of boutique monitor startup, Dough. A new generation of gaming monitors running 32-inch 4K OLED panels will arrive next summer.
In a post on Reddit the Dough rep laid out a full roadmap of the companies expectations for OLED panels for the next 18 months or so. The first unsurprising disappointment is that the 32-inch 4K panel from Japanese panel maker JOLED is at least delayed, and very likely cancelled.
As we reported in March, JOLED went bust and while its assets and were picked up by Japan Display it's not clear whether the JOLED 32-inch 4K panel will be rebooted. If not, that's a pity, because the JOLED panel was the only option for the foreseeable future that offered a conventional RGB subpixel structure which is optimal for text rendering on the PC. Though, admittedly, that isn't a huge deal for gaming.
Anywho, what is still coming? Mainly those 32-inch 4K OLED panels from Samsung and LG. They both run at 240Hz and use each company's respective panel tech. So that's QD-OLED from Samsung, as seen in various panel's including Samsung's own new 49-inch G9 monster, and LG's WOLED alternative as seen in the Corsair Xeneon 27QHD240 among numerous others.
Dough doesn't have any further insights on the specifics of these panels. So, we don't know how they'll stack up in areas like brightness compared to existing OLED monitors. However, the roadmap does give an indication re. timing. The Samsung QD-OLED version is pencilled in for late summer, while LG's WOLED take will arrive a few months later. The post also indicates that pricing of the new 32-inch 4K OLED monitors will be in the region of $1,000
