“We are supplying MSI with the industry’s highest resolution laptop OLEDs so that gaming users can experience the best HDR content on OLED,” said Brad Jung, vice president and head of the Mobile Display Marketing Team at Samsung Display. “We will continue to focus on expanding our IT business based on the strengths of Samsung OLED, including wide color gamut, true black enabling infinite contrast ratio, low blue light emission, and low power consumption.”
Clark Peng, vice president of MSI Notebook Product Management Division, said, “Gaming laptops demand a high level of display technology that can reproduce powerful driving performance into the content.” And added, “Samsung OLED is the optimal display to experience the powerful gaming performance of MSI gaming laptops with stunning image quality, low power consumption, and thin, lightweight portability.”
Since its first launch of OLEDs in the IT market in 2019, Samsung Display has released more than 100 OLED laptops in partnership with 11 global laptop brands. Currently, Samsung Display’s market share in the entire global IT OLED market is 76.7% as of 2022, according to Omdia.
