South Korean giant Samsung recently launched its flagship smartphones and now the company could be gearing up to launch a laptop in the market, but with a first-in-the-world feature — a 90Hz refresh rate OLED display.
This new type of screen is expected to be available in Q1 2021. Joo Sun Choi, CEO of Samsung Display said that the plan is to initially make very large quantities of 14-inch, 90Hz OLED displays for the laptops and notebooks, beginning in March.

Samsung Display, a subsidiary from Samsung to make display technologies, believes that consumers will quickly adopt the idea of OLED displays offering a 90Hz refresh rate, even though the OLED panels require the use of a high-spec. graphics card.
In a 90Hz refresh rate, the image is rendered 90 times per second, and thanks to this rapid refresh rate update in motion, smoother-looking visuals are possible. Also, OLED displays are able to transition from one screen to the next much more quickly than LCD screens with the same refresh rate.
Thus, OLED screens can make gaming and movie watching a more vibrant, pleasurable experience, without compromise, claims the company. Samsung also adds that the company’s 90Hz OLED display offers high-speed driving that is actually on par with that of 120Hz LCD screens. Once Samsung launches this laptop, we expect more companies to follow suit, similar to what happened in the smartphone space.
