LG Display revealed a new lineup of OLED gaming panels that will debut at CES 2026 in Las Vegas. The company highlighted a 27‑inch panel that can run at 720 Hz and 0.02 ms response time, the fastest refresh rate and fastest response time available for an OLED display. It also announced a 39‑inch 5K2K panel with a curved 21:9 aspect ratio and a 27‑inch 4K panel that can reach 240 Hz using an RGB‑stripe design—both firsts for the industry.
The panels use Primary RGB Tandem 2.0 technology, which stacks independent emission layers for each color. This architecture delivers peak brightness of up to 1,500 nits and a 99.5 % DIC color gamut, while supporting HDR True Black 500. The combination of ultra‑high refresh rates, near‑zero response time, and high brightness positions the panels to meet the demanding requirements of competitive gamers and professional content creators who need precise color accuracy and minimal motion blur.
LG Display’s shift from commoditized LCD production to high‑margin OLED has already paid off. In Q3 2025 the company generated $4.87 billion in revenue, up 25 % from Q2 2025 and 2 % year‑over‑year, and reported an operating profit of $300 million. OLED products accounted for 65 % of total revenue in that quarter, up from 58 % the previous year, underscoring the rapid expansion of the company’s OLED business. The new gaming panels reinforce this trajectory and are expected to contribute to the company’s goal of shipping 7 million OLED TV panels in 2026.
The premium gaming monitor segment is a high‑growth niche where OLED’s superior contrast and color performance are prized. By offering the fastest refresh rates and the brightest HDR performance, LG Display aims to capture a larger share of this market and compete directly with rivals such as Samsung Display’s QD‑OLED and other high‑end monitor makers. The introduction of the 39‑inch 5K2K curved panel also opens new opportunities for immersive gaming and professional visualization applications.
Strategically, the launch signals LG Display’s continued focus on high‑margin, high‑technology products. The new panels are expected to drive higher average selling prices and improve gross margins, while the company’s existing OLED production capacity is positioned to meet the growing demand across TV, automotive, and mobile markets. The announcement reinforces LG Display’s commitment to leading the OLED market and supports its broader goal of sustaining profitability and expanding its premium product portfolio.
