LG Display unveils world s first 720Hz gaming OLED panel
Technology manufacturer LG Display launched a 24 5 inch 720Hz Gaming OLED panel featuring a 0 02 millisecond response time to supply high performance esports monitors across global markets
SEOUL, South Korea — LG Display has unveiled the world's inaugural 720Hz gaming OLED panel, setting a new standard for esports monitors. This 24.5-inch screen is the first OLED panel specifically designed for competitive gaming. The 24.5-inch size allows for an unobstructed view of the entire screen, an essential feature in esports.
LG Display's launch of this 720Hz panel marks a significant step towards integrating OLED technology into mainstream esports monitors. The panel boasts an unmatched refresh rate of 720Hz and an astonishing response time of 0.02ms. The refresh rate indicates the number of times per second the screen updates, with 720Hz meaning the screen refreshes 720 times per second.
The core technology is a novel driving algorithm that maintains a stable 720Hz refresh rate even at Full HD resolution, utilizing an integrated solution from panel design to the driving system. This results in a dramatic reduction of motion blur and ghosting, delivering an exceptional user experience in fast-paced games like first-person shooters and racing games.
The high refresh rate and low response time make the panel ideal for capturing the rapid actions in these genres, providing clear visuals of fast movements such as gunshots or vehicles. The OLED panel has already been integrated into ASUS's new gaming monitor, the ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace, which has been chosen as the official esports monitor for PGL CS2 Major Singapore 2026, a major Counter-Strike 2 tournament.
LG Display plans to expand its strategy by targeting the esports market with its full range of gaming displays, from 20-inch to 40-inch screens, many of which incorporate its proprietary Dynamic Frequency & Resolution (DFR) technology. The company is also accelerating AI transformation (AX) in all aspects of gaming display development to stay ahead of the competition.
As Hyeon-woo Lee, Head of the Large Display Business Unit at LG Display, stated, "As a technology-driven company, we will lead the transition to OLED in the gaming monitor market and lead the mainstreaming of OLED in the global market."
