Good news if you’re considering buying one ofSamsung’s Quantum Dot displays, which are among thebest TVsyou can buy right now. New certification means that you can tell yourself and your significant other that they’re good for your health. That’s because the QD panels have been awarded two important new forms of certification from SGS, a third party organisation whose job is to test products against International standards.

So what does that actually mean?

The other certification, Pro Gaming Verified, is the one we’re particularly interested in. The top platinum rating is hard to achieve, so it’s an award that actually means something: it covers reflectance, refresh rate, viewing angle, light leakage and colour reproduction, and the QD displays performed well in each category: response speeds from black to white were 0.01ms, refresh rates were 175Hz and because of the way QD displays are made they don’t suffer from the same delay as conventional LCD displays.

The certification comes at a good time for Samsung and partners such as Dell: its QD displays will be in the Alienware 34-inch curved QD-OLED Gaming Monitor (AW3423DW), which launches in the US this week and could well be one of thebest gaming monitorsin 2022; the certifications suggest that it may be less hard on your eyes than rival displays, so you should be able to stay at the top of your game for longer.
