LGD Targets '20 Trillion Won Market' with Mass Production of 27-Inch Gaming OLED

Industry-Leading Response Speed... Optimized for Racing Games
Omdia "Market Size 20 Trillion Won by 2027"

LG Display announced on the 29th that it has begun full-scale mass production of a 27-inch 480Hz QHD gaming OLED panel, achieving the highest refresh rate and fastest response time among existing organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays. This move aims to actively supply panels in response to the rapidly increasing demand for gaming displays.

In gaming displays, the most important specifications are the refresh rate, which is the number of images shown per second, and the response time, which is the time it takes for the graphics card signal to be displayed on the screen.

This product provides an overwhelming gaming experience with LG Display’s unique OLED vivid image quality where each pixel emits light without a backlight, an ultra-high refresh rate of 480Hz, an industry-leading response time of 0.02ms (1ms is one-thousandth of a second), and QHD (2560x1440) resolution.

LG Display is the only company to achieve 480Hz among gaming OLEDs. The higher the refresh rate, the smoother and clearer the content appears even on rapidly changing screens.

As the refresh rate increased, the response time also set a new record at 0.02ms GTG (the time it takes for a pixel to change from light gray to dark gray). This shortens the previous best speed of 0.03ms by 0.01ms. A lower response time is advantageous for FPS (first-person shooter) and racing games that require quick reactions.

Additionally, through optimization of the WRGB (White, Red, Green, Blue) pixel structure, readability of text during gaming or document work has been improved compared to previous models. The bezel width, which is the screen border, has been minimized with a 4-sided borderless design to maximize immersion.

LG Display has established a full lineup of gaming OLEDs applying proprietary technology ranging from 27 inches to 45 inches and is accelerating its strategy to capture the rapidly growing gaming display market. According to global market research firm Omdia, the gaming monitor market size is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 5.8%, from $12.77 billion (approximately 17 trillion KRW) this year to $15.13 billion (approximately 20 trillion KRW) by 2027.

Kang Won-seok, Executive Director of Large Product Planning at LG Display, said, "We will secure leadership in the high-end gaming display market by providing differentiated customer value such as ultra-high refresh rates, fast response times, and ultra-high image quality."
