For example, the firm is also producing tougher than ever OLEDs, with durability demonstrated by its robot basketball test, steel ball drop test, and refrigerator (cold temperature) tests.
In automotive, Samsung will also demonstrate multiple in-car displays such as an 18.1‑inch Flexible L‑shaped Center Display, a 30‑inch 32:9 Rear Seat Entertainment display, and – OLED tail lamp displays capable of showing warnings like ‘Accident Ahead.’
Road warriors may also appreciate the new UT One (Ultra Thin) OLED, which promises “30% thinner and 30% lighter” panels for laptops, using hybrid thin‑film layers and Oxide TFT for 1–120Hz variable refresh. Color fidelity isn’t neglected, with these 100% DCI-P3 color panels claimed to deliver “deeper blacks by eliminating the air gap between glass substrates.” Other new OLED monitors and TVs are set to offer new always-on modes and 4,500‑nits peak brightness levels.
Last but not least, we’d like to highlight Samsung’s new 1.4‑inch RGB OLEDoS. This XR microdisplay targets headsets with its compact 5,000 PPI display and wide viewing angles.

Dementoss I don't need AI with everything, I don't need an OLED display with everything. It's not "intriguing", it's just a manufacturer trying to con us into believing we need things, no-one ever wanted, or needed. More electronic waste heading for landfill… Reply
-Fran- I like my electronics kind of dumb, so I can actually use them as I want and not as the vendor wants. I hope someone realises that and competes with more dumb devices. Specially TVs and monitors. I just want a very good panel on them, at an affordable price, with DP2.1 and HDMI2.1. Just that. None of this "smart" stuff they want us to think is "good". Sell the "add on PC stick" separately and save the ones who already have an HTPC or livingroom device (like a console) some money. And for the strawman-argument havers: no, dumb devices does not mean we want to go back to being neanderthals and use a bone-hammer for things. Regards. Reply
BFG-9000 TVs without smart features are sold as commercial TVs for use by businesses. They cost more, not less, because each publisher pays the TV manufacturer a fee to include their app on the TV (much like bloatware included in brandname PCs) which helps to subsidize the price. I don't see how AI features could help defray the cost of music players with expensive OLED screens though, unless those screens play ads or the AI strongly suggests new "music" that publishers pay Samsung a fee to promote. Subaru is now popping up fullscreen ads for SiriusXM on car infotainment systems, and Stellantis pushes offers to buy a new Stellantis vehicle. Consumers are urged to report this safety hazard to NHTSA https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G5-Rk3WWMAAOKm5?format=jpg&name=900x900https://images-stag.jazelc.com/uploads/theautopian-m2en/siriusxm-pop-up-ad–1024×850.png Reply
