Fastest OLED monitor in the world debuts: LG Display introduces 720Hz display model
LG Debuts Groundbreaking 540Hz QHD Tandem OLED Monitor
LG Display has officially unveiled its new 27-inch tandem OLED panel monitor, capable of reaching a blistering 540Hz refresh rate at QHD (2560×1440) resolution, making it a potential game-changer in the world of high-performance gaming monitors.
Key features of the new monitor include a native 540Hz refresh rate, a peak brightness of up to 1,500 nits, exceptional color coverage with 99.5% DCI-P3, and an ultra-fast 0.03 ms response time (Gray-to-Gray). The monitor also boasts a special coating that blocks 99% of glare, making it an ideal choice for brightly lit environments.
The monitor uses the Primary RGB Tandem scheme, allowing separate control of subpixels for faster data processing. This technology also enables the monitor to boost its refresh rate up to 720Hz at 1080p resolution using Dynamic Frequency & Resolution (DFR) technology.
While the new monitor is a significant leap forward in gaming monitor technology, specific details about its commercial availability and pricing have yet to be announced. LG has previously released a slower 280Hz tandem OLED monitor in China for around $510, so it is expected that the 540Hz dual-mode model will carry a significantly higher price tag.
In addition to the 540Hz QHD tandem OLED monitor, LG has also revealed an 83-inch OLED panel that uses a new RGB tandem structure. However, it is unclear whether this panel will be used for gaming or other commercial applications.
Meanwhile, Lenovo has expressed its belief that 4K at 240Hz is no longer a future concept, signalling a shift towards even higher refresh rates in the gaming monitor market. This sentiment is further supported by the increasing demand for higher frame rates due to multi-frame generation with the RTX 50-series GPUs.
As professional gamers continue to push the boundaries of what is possible in terms of performance, LG's new tandem OLED monitor is expected to be a highly sought-after piece of equipment. However, with the full product launch and retail availability still undisclosed, gamers will have to wait a little longer to get their hands on this groundbreaking technology.
