LG Display has officially begun mass production of a 24.5-inch gaming OLED panel with a 720Hz refresh rate, enhancing its focus on the eSports market. The company aims to penetrate the LCD-dominated eSports monitor sector by applying OLED technology to screens commonly used by professional gamers.
On September 21, LG Display announced the launch of the world's first 24.5-inch 720Hz gaming OLED panel, achieving the highest refresh rate of 720Hz and a response time of 0.02ms among existing gaming OLEDs.
A 720Hz refresh rate means the screen can change images up to 720 times per second. LG Display developed its own driving algorithm to ensure stable high refresh rates even at Full HD resolution, focusing on reducing ghosting and tearing in fast-paced genres like first-person shooters and racing games.
The new product will first be featured in Asus's 'ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace,' which has been selected as the official monitor for the 'PGL CS2 Major Singapore 2026' tournament.
This event marks the first instance in Counter-Strike major tournament history where OLED monitors will be used on the main stage. Asus plans to release this model in the fourth quarter for $1,099, making LG Display's high-refresh-rate OLED a significant test in the professional eSports arena.
LG Display is expanding its gaming OLED lineup from 20 inches to 40 inches. The company is also promoting its dynamic refresh rate and resolution (DFR) technology, which allows for adjustments based on the game being played. Earlier this year, its 27-inch 540/720Hz DFR OLED was recognized as 'Display of the Year' by the Society for Information Display (SID).
Additionally, LG Display plans to enhance its development process by increasing the use of AI conversion (AX) to improve the efficiency of panel design and driving algorithm development, continuing its competitive edge in gaming products.
Lee Hyun-woo, head of LG Display's large business division, stated, "As a technology-driven company, we will lead the transition to OLED in the gaming monitor market and drive the global trend toward OLED technology."
