This is the first Pantone validation for IT panels.
The Pantone Matching System (PMS) is a universally accepted color standard. Each color has a unique alphanumeric number for consistent representation worldwide across various media.
To earn Pantone Validated status, it is necessary to achieve a certain standard by evaluating the color fidelity of over 2,300 specific colors based on the Pantone Color Standards. The Pantone SkinTone Validated status can be obtained by authentically representing over 130 skin tones in the Pantone SkinTone Guide.
“Samsung Display’s panels for laptops and monitors have passed Pantone’s rigorous test and judgment criteria,” said Iain Pike, Senior Global Director of Product and Licensing at Pantone. “This means the company can deliver the colors intended by content creators more accurately.”
Samsung Display’s OLED laptop panels boast outstanding color reproduction using the precise colors emitted by organic materials. The monitor’s QD-OLED panel incorporates quantum dots to complete a pixel structure composed of RGB primary colors alone, allowing it to express accurate colors without interference from ambient colors.
“Getting this Pantone Validation really showcases the top-notch color reproduction of our IT panels,” said James Cho, head of marketing for the Small and Medium-sized Display Division at Samsung Display. “As content creation isn’t just for professionals anymore, we’re aiming to become the go-to choice for anyone chasing accurate color representation.”
