Samsung’s new OLED monitor panels are built to battle glare and scratches

Samsung will integrate its new QuantumBlack film technology into all OLED monitor panels starting in 2026 to improve screen durability and reduce light reflection for better image quality.

Key points

  • The QuantumBlack film reduces light reflectance by 20% and increases surface hardness to 3H.
  • Samsung will implement this technology as a standard feature across all its OLED panels beginning in 2026.
  • Major monitor manufacturers including Asus, Gigabyte, and MSI will adopt the technology under brand-specific names like Black Shield, Obsidian Shield, and Dark Armor.
  • The innovation is specifically designed to enhance black performance and glare resistance in QD-OLED displays.
Why it matters:

This advancement addresses two primary consumer complaints regarding OLED monitors—glare and screen fragility—potentially making the technology more viable for bright office or gaming environments. As Samsung supplies panels to major industry players, this update will likely become the new baseline for high-end display performance across the monitor market.
