Apparently jealous of AMD and Intel's god-awful CPU branding, Samsung has cooked up a doozy for its latest QD-OLED panel tech for PC gaming monitors. We give you Samsung QD-OLED Penta Tandem, a brighter, more durable panel tech with a baffling brand name.

Samsung says the new panel is 1.3 times brighter and twice as long lasting as previous QD-OLED generations used in PC monitors. Helpfully, Samsung explains that, "'Penta' comes from the Greek word for the number five." Uh huh.

The longevity claim is particularly interesting given long-term tests based on much earlier generations of Samsung QD-OLED monitors have revealed pretty decent resistance to burn-in. If this new generation really is twice as good, that may render the whole question of screen degradation essentially moot.
