3. The new gaming monitor, S27HG702WC, will feature a WOLED panel from LG Display with resolutions of 4K/165 Hz or 1080p/330 Hz using Dual Mode technology.
4. The release schedule for Samsung’s OLED monitors in early 2026 includes specific launch weeks for each model.

In the past few years, Samsung Display has provided Samsung Electronics and other monitor makers with two QD-OLED panels to choose from just in time for new monitor launches. This year, for example, they delivered two Gen 4 QD-OLED panels. Both panels measure 27 inches diagonally; one offers a 4K resolution with a refresh rate of 240 Hz, while the other achieves a remarkable 500 Hz refresh rate, but at a 1440p resolution to maintain that high refresh rate.

Upcoming Monitor Launches

Recent reports indicate that Samsung Electronics is gearing up to launch nearly five new monitors throughout 2026. Interestingly, none of the monitors mentioned will feature the much-anticipated Gen 5 QD-OLED panels. Instead, the report highlights models like the S27FG604SC, S27HG612SC, S27HG802SC, and S32HG802SC, which will all utilize the same Gen 3 or Gen 4 QD-OLED panels as previous versions.

The New Gaming Monitor

Even more curious, the S27HG702WC is expected to be Samsung Electronics’ initial gaming monitor equipped with a WOLED panel sourced from LG Display. Reportedly, this panel will offer resolutions of 4K/165 Hz or 1080p/330 Hz utilizing Dual Mode technology, similar to the larger UltraGear OLED 32GX850A that LG already retails for about $799.99 on Amazon. Currently, the release schedule for Samsung Electronics’ OLED monitors in Q1 and Q2 of 2026 is as follows:

– Week 1: S27FG604SC
– Week 6: S27HG612SC
– Week 17: S27HG802SC & S32HG802SC
– Week 20: S27HG702WC
