Features and benefits

LG's new 480Hz OLED panels not only offer the highest refresh rate currently available on the market, but also bring other notable improvements :

  • Ultra-fast response time : With a response time of just 0.02ms (Gray-to-Gray), these displays deliver optimum performance for fast-paced games like FPS and racing games, where every millisecond counts.
  • QHD resolution (2560x1440) : This resolution, combined with the high refresh rate, guarantees exceptional clarity and unprecedented fluidity, even in fast-action scenes.
  • META technology :To further enhance image quality, LG has integrated its META technology with a micro-lens array (MLA) that maximizes brightness and minimizes reflections, delivering a more immersive viewing experience.
  • Frequency and resolution flexibility : thanks to Dynamic Frequency & Resolution (DFR) technology, users can choose between a high-frequency mode (480Hz in FHD) or high resolution (240Hz in UHD), depending on their preferences and the type of content.

Impact on the Gaming Monitor Market

The gaming monitor market, valued at around $12.8 billion in 2023, is set to continue growing at an annual rate of 5.8% through to 2027. With these new 480Hz OLED panels, LG Display reinforces its leading position in this fast-growing market, particularly targeting demanding gamers looking for the best possible performance.

In addition to these innovations, LG Display plans to incorporate these panels into a full range of products from 27 to 45 inches, offering a variety of options for different types of gamers.

These technological advances demonstrate LG's commitment to pushing the boundaries of what's possible in gaming displays, consolidating its leadership in the OLED industry.
