- Samsung Display filed for display certifications that appear to include first 83-inch QD-OLED panel
- The new panel with a 24-inch monitor size is also a reference
- There is no official word on a release or plans for when they will appear.
There’s big news in the world of QD-OLED TVs: the first 83-inch QD-OLED panel has appeared on certification lists, suggesting a launch is on the cards.
As FlatpanelsHD reports, UL Solutions’ certification database details several Samsung Display QD-OLED panels that have been submitted for the organization’s QuantumView verification. And one of those panels is labeled QDOLED83.x, where the number refers to the panel size in inches.
The full list starts at 24 inches and spans 27 inches, 31 inches, 34 inches, 49 inches, 55 inches, 65 inches, 77 inches, and 83 inches. So far, QD-OLED panels have maxed out at 77 inches.

Sizes below 55 inches are for monitors rather than TVs, and offer a long-awaited secret: They seem to confirm rumors of a 24-inch version.
When will the 83-inch QD-OLED TV be released?
The short answer: we don’t know. The slightly longer answer: Samsung hasn’t announced its existence, much less product plans, pricing, or release dates… but we can make a very educated guess.
We’ve had rumors about this 83-inch panel before, and they’ve proven to be unfounded: The discovery of what was thought to be an 83-inch QD-OLED in Samsung’s parts database in late 2024 turned out to be the Samsung S95F, which came in an 83-inch size, but uses an LG Display WOLED panel for that size and stuck with QD-OLED for the smaller sizes.
This leak seems much stronger, because it comes directly from Samsung Display (the part of the company that makes the panels, not the one that makes the TVs).
The company uses UL Solutions’ QuantumView certification as a marketing angle; For example, last week Samsung’s press office was delighted to inform us that Samsung Display’s entire QD-OLED line has earned that certification. However, that press release does not detail screen sizes.
So far, Samsung hasn’t included an 83-inch QD-OLED in its 2026 lineup, and neither has Sony, which also uses Samsung Display panels. But it would be quite strange to get a certification for a screen size that you don’t intend to sell.
So while an announcement doesn’t seem imminent, I expect this large model to become an option on TVs in 2027. It will likely go through mass manufacturing later in 2026, ready to be assembled into TVs at the end of the year and early next year, perfect for the usual cycle of TV ads at CES and launches during the following April or May.
Meanwhile, we expect the 2026 Samsung S95H/S99H to once again use Tandem WOLED for its 83-inch model, although that’s no bad thing given the performance of the LG G6 OLED TV in our review, which uses the same panel.
