After dominating the smartphone landscape, Samsung is pushing its OLED technology into premium laptops. The company revealed its first OLED screens for laptops two years ago, and now, the South Korean firm is expanding into the premium gaming laptop market with its 4K OLED screen, starting with the MSI Stealth 16 Mercedes-AMG Motorsport.

The new MSI Stealth 16 gaming laptop features a 16-inch Samsung Display-made OLED screen with a 4K+ resolution (3,840 x 2,400 pixels) and a 60Hz refresh rate. The laptop was unveiled during the Computex 2023 event that's happening in Taiwan. The laptop features the 13th Gen Intel Core i9-13900H CPU, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 GPU with 8GB VRAM, up to 64GB DDR5 RAM, up to 2TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD, and a 99.9Whr battery. It comes pre-installed with Windows 11.
The laptop features a six-speaker setup with two 2W tweeters and four 2W woofers. It has a full RGB mechanical keyboard, a Windows Precision trackpad, a fingerprint reader, and a Full HD 30fps webcam with Windows Hello IR face recognition. It has one Thunderbolt 4 (USB C) port, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port with DisplayPort, a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port, an HDMI 2.1 port, an SD card slot, and a 2.5Gb ethernet port. It also features Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 for wireless connectivity.
Last month, Samsung Display announced that it will invest KRW 4.1 trillion ($3.1 billion) to build an 8.6-Generation IT OLED production line to expand its OLED IT business. These OLED screens would be used in laptops and gaming monitors.
Brad Jung, VP and Head of the Mobile Display Marketing Team at Samsung Display, said, “We are supplying MSI with the industry’s highest resolution laptop OLEDs so that gaming users can experience the best HDR content on OLED. We will continue to focus on expanding our IT business based on the strengths of Samsung OLED, including wide color gamut, true black enabling infinite contrast ratio, low blue light emission, and low power consumption.“
