Recently, the gaming industry has been evolving at its fastest pace ever, with games based on Unreal Engine 5 technology transforming gaming as we know it with their highly precise graphic representation. The emergence of these high-end games highlight the need for not only powerful CPUs and graphics cards, but also gaming displays that can deliver exceptionally precise and lifelike visuals. According to global market research firm Omdia, the gaming monitor market is expected to grow from KRW 17 trillion this year to approximately KRW 20 trillion by 2027, reflecting the upward trend in demand for high-performance displays.
To provide an immersive gaming experience, LG Display has introduced a range of gaming OLEDs featuring industry-leading refresh rates, response times, and perfect picture quality. So, let’s dive into the unique gaming OLEDs that only LG Display can offer!
A Refresh Rate of 480Hz? Experience Smooth and Clear Motion with Ultra-High Refresh Rates!
Defined as the number of images a monitor can display per second, the refresh rate is a crucial benchmark, especially for gaming displays, as the higher the refresh rate, the smoother and more responsive the gaming experience becomes by allowing the graphics card to process more frames into the monitor.
The refresh rates of gaming displays have increased steadily to 144Hz, 240Hz, and 360Hz with advancements in technology. However, this year, LG Display raised the bar once again with its ’27-inch 480Hz QHD Gaming OLED,’ which boasts the highest refresh rate ever seen in an OLED display. A higher refresh rate allows smoother and clearer representation of content even during rapid screen transitions, providing a more immersive gaming environment.
Record-Breaking 0.02ms Response Time and Optimal Design
Another crucial factor in gaming displays is ‘response time.’ Response time measures the time it takes for a pixel to change from one color to another, and a lower response time enables faster and clearer screen transitions. In games where victory is determined by clicks within seconds, a lower response time is crucial for winning.
With the increased refresh rate, LG Display’s 27-inch 480Hz QHD Gaming OLED has further reduced the response time from the previous best of 0.03ms by an additional 0.01ms, achieving an industry-leading 0.02ms (1/100,000th of a second) GTG(Gray to Gray) response time. As a result, it delivers the best performance in games like FPS (first-person shooter) and racing games, where fast response determines the outcome.
In addition, LG Display has optimized the WRGB pixel structure of its gaming OLED panels for even better text clarity for gaming and document work and offers a cleaner and more immersive visual experience with a borderless design.
Why LG Display’s Gaming OLED Is a Must-Have!
LG Display’s Gaming OLED has become a top choice for many gamers due to its distinctive technological advantages. Leveraging LG Display’s innovative ‘META Technology,’ the company’s gaming OLEDs utilize Micro Lens Array (MLA) to maximize light extraction, enhancing brightness and color accuracy. On top of that, a special polarizer reduces screen reflections, ensuring minimal image distortion even in dark scenes. And let’s not forget the health benefits—the self-emissive nature of OLED also means that the display emits about half the blue light compared to LCDs, reducing eye strain during long gaming sessions and eliminating flicker, which can cause headaches.
LG Display also offers other groundbreaking technologies such as Dynamic Frequency & Resolution (DFR), which allows users to switch between high refresh rate mode (FHD∙480Hz) and high resolution mode (UHD∙240Hz) on a single monitor, as well as a ‘Bendable’ feature that allows the panel to switch seamlessly from flat to curved up to 800R for the optimal gaming experience depending on the game genre. With these and other proprietary technologies applied across a full lineup of gaming OLEDs from 27-inch to 45-inch, the company is actively targeting the gaming display market.
With its tremendous ultra-high refresh rate, fastest response time, and clearer picture quality, LG Display’s gaming OLED is paving the way for the next generation of gaming experiences! Isn’t it a must-have for gamers who are truly passionate about their gaming?
