MSI is integrating Samsung QD‑OLED Penta Tandem panels into gaming monitors

Samsung Display and MSI – new QD‑OLED panels “Penta Tandem”

*What has changed?*

Samsung Display introduced a new trade brand – QD‑OLED Penta Tandem. It is an improved version of its existing QD‑OLED panels, but now with a five-layer organic light-emitting structure instead of the previous four layers of blue emission.

*Key metrics*

- Brightness increased by 1.3×.
- Panel lifespan doubled compared to last year’s design.
- Peak brightness: 1300 cd/m² for monitors, up to 4500 cd/m² for TVs at 3 % OPR (ratio of active pixels to total screen area).

*Implementation in MSI products*

MSI began integrating Penta Tandem panels early in 2025, long before the official name. The company echoed Samsung’s statements about higher brightness and doubled lifespan.

MSI emphasizes that some models have updated HDR certification targets and added OLED screen protection features. Particular focus is on the MPG 272URX QD‑OLED, where the five-layer blue structure addresses brightness issues at high pixel density.

Thus, Samsung Display and MSI jointly bring to market brighter, longer-lasting, and technologically advanced QD‑OLED panels, opening new possibilities for monitors and TVs.
