CES 2023: Samsung unveils its new OLED display that has 2,000 nits brightness

Samsung Display announced its new OLED display designed for smartphones during the CES 2023. This display has a peak brightness of 2,000 nits and thereby has a UDR 2000 certification. As Samsung uses the newest screens in its flagship offerings, we might end up seeing this display in the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.

News about the UDR screen broke in June 2022, when Samsung applied for the trademark. The new OLED has been verified by Underwriter Laboratories and has the following verification ID V301789. 

For context, the Samsung Galaxy S22 has a peak brightness of 1750 nits. The display on the Apple iPhone 14, however, which was manufactured by Samsung, has a peak brightness of 2,000 nits.

Better dynamic range than regular OLEDs

To demonstrate how the display looks, Samsung compared its new UDR 2000 OLED display with a regular OLED screen and showed that the former had more brightness along with better dynamic range. 

Samsung also recently unveiled new monitors, the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 and the Samsung Odyssey OLED gaming monitors. The Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 is an ultra-wide monitor with an 8K resolution. This display comes with DisplayPort 2.1, is HDR-capable (and has a peak brightness of 1000 nits) and supports AMD’s FreeSync Premium Pro-tech.
