Subscribe to our newsletter As I outlined recently, keeping track of all the various OLED panel generations from LG and Samsung is a Herculean, perhaps even Sisyphean, task.

But one half of that seemingly ceaseless job just got a lot easier thanks to a couple of new cheat sheets released by TFT Central.The first is basically a table that shows Samsung QD-OLED panel generations by year and lists the key features and specs for each.

Samsung used to have a generational nomenclature, starting with Gen 1 panels in 2022.

.

But with its latest panel tech, what might have been called Gen 5 or 5th Gen QD-OLED, the company has shifted to a system using the year of introduction to signify the panel generation.As TFT Central says, this is all further confused by some monitor makers—as opposed to LG and Samsung, which produce the actual OLED panels that go into monitors—implementing their own generational marketing cues.

Whatever, the table makes for an easy reference guide.

The website also has a graphic that provides a visual guide to the progression of QD-OLED technology ## Editor's Note We'll have to wait and see how this plays out in the coming weeks.
