LG's new OLED monitor achieves 720Hz, advancing screen technology into uncharted territory
LG unveils a 720Hz OLED monitor, boosting screen tech at K-Display 2025.
LG has announced its plans to present a pioneering 720Hz OLED monitor at the upcoming K-Display 2025 event, marking a significant leap in display technology. This new monitor, which may put LG at the forefront of OLED advancements, features a 27-inch screen with a baseline refresh rate of 540Hz at a 1440p resolution. However, users can opt to increase the refresh rate to an impressive 720Hz by adjusting the resolution to 1080p. Such capabilities are made possible through LG's innovative fourth-generation OLED technology, which ensures 99.5-percent DCI-P3 color reproduction and a peak brightness of 1,500 nits.
In contrast, another company, SDC, recently revealed a monitor boasting similar specifications in June, though evidence of its existence is limited to a Reddit-shared flyer. As of now, LG is poised to be the first to publicly demo a 720Hz OLED screen. Comparatively, Samsung rolled out a 500Hz OLED in May, while the 750Hz Koorui G7 TN panel takes the crown as the fastest commercial monitor globally. These ultra-high refresh rates are critical for enhancing motion clarity in fast-paced PC games, and they're instrumental in supporting Nvidia's multi-frame generation technology to bypass CPU restrictions.
In addition to the 720Hz OLED monitor, LG will demonstrate a host of other revolutionary displays. This includes an 83-inch OLED with 4,000 nits of brightness using the novel Primary RGB Tandem technology, where red, green, and blue lights are stacked in distinct layers. Another jaw-dropping revelation is a 45-inch screen offering LG's highest-ever OLED resolution of 5,120 by 2,160 pixels, targeted at enriching visual experiences across varied applications.
The K-Display 2025 will also see LG flaunting multiple cutting-edge panels designed for automotive use. Key among these is a 57-inch pillar-to-pillar LCD that encompasses the entire dashboard, providing comprehensive functionality for both driver and passenger sides. Accompanying this is a 36-inch OLED that slides down from above the dashboard, delivering pertinent information as needed, alongside a 29-inch external LCD for displaying ads and other content.
Finally, LG is pushing display innovation boundaries with a micro-LED display capable of stretching up to 53 percent. A video exhibit highlights the screen's ability to form customizable indentations, mimicking the tactile sensation of physical buttons. This showcase reflects LG's determination to explore and expand the realms of display technology, promising new possibilities across gaming, automotive, and commercial sectors.
