The Verdict.
Gavler Meta-Score
“The brighter, better-connected flat 32" 4K OLED — DP 2.1 and True Black 500 are real upgrades. Pay the premium over the MSI only if you want them; it is no longer a smart TV.”

Penta Tandem QD-OLED
A flat 31.5-inch 4K panel using Samsung Display's 4th-generation QD-OLED, rated 300 nits typical and 1,000 nits peak with DisplayHDR True Black 500.
DisplayPort 2.1 + 98W USB-C
Full-speed UHBR20 DisplayPort 2.1 drives 4K at 240Hz without compression, and USB-C with 98W power delivery charges a laptop over one cable.
240Hz, 0.03ms
A 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms grey-to-grey response with FreeSync Premium Pro and G-Sync Compatible keep fast motion clear.
Technical Specifications
The Scoreboard
New on the list in November 2026 with no community votes yet, so it enters at the bottom of the roster. Reviewers praise the brighter 4th-gen QD-OLED, accurate factory calibration and full-speed DisplayPort 2.1; the caveats are no speakers, a weak headphone output, an external power brick and dimming on full-screen bright HDR.
