LG Display begins mass production of 27-inch 480Hz OLED displays
29 August 2024, 14:19:24
LG Display announced today that it has begun mass producing its 27-inch 480Hz QHD Gaming OLED panel. The company is targeting the high-end gaming market with high-specification Gaming OLED displays that combine the industry’s highest refresh rate and fastest response time to keep up with the rapidly growing demand for gaming displays.
The most important factors for gaming displays are refresh rate, the number of images displayed per second, and response time, referring to how long it takes to display graphics card signals. This new product delivers the three-dimensional picture quality of LG Display's OLED, requiring no backlighting as each pixel lights up on its own, along with a 480 Hz ultra-high refresh rate, an industry-best response time of 0.02ms, and a QHD (2560 x 1440) resolution for an optimal gaming experience.
LG Display is the only company to have achieved a refresh rate of 480Hz on a Gaming OLED panel. The higher the refresh rate, the smoother and sharper the content, even during fast-transitioning scenes. As well as the higher refresh rate, the new record response time of 0.02 ms on a GTG basis is 0.01 ms quicker than the previous best of 0.03 ms. Shorter response times, where every thousandth of a second counts, are especially advantageous for the pace of first-person shooters and racing games.
In addition, WRGB pixel structure optimization enhances the readability of text compared to conventional screens, while a four-sided borderless design based on minimized bezel width offers gamers an even greater sense of immersion. The company’s Gaming OLEDs are equipped with META Technology, which improves picture quality by harnessing Micro Lens Array (MLA) to maximize brightness and minimize reflections that can be particularly distracting if they appear on the screen during dark scenes. Another feature of the company's OLED panels is that they emit half the blue light of LCD screens, protecting users from its potentially harmful effects, while they are also free from headache-causing flicker, reducing eye fatigue even during long gaming sessions.
