LG Display Breaks Records with 720Hz OLED at CES 2026 – Trendy Gadget

LG Display once again reminds the industry who actually builds the screens everyone else brags about. At CES 2026, the company showcases a lineup of Gaming OLED panels that break multiple performance records at once, ranging from an unprecedented 720Hz refresh rate to the world’s first 39-inch 5K2K OLED monitor. Rather than incremental upgrades, LG Display is clearly aiming to redefine what high-end gaming and professional monitors can realistically deliver.

720Hz Gaming OLED Sets a New Speed Benchmark

The headline announcement is a 27-inch Gaming OLED panel capable of reaching a staggering 720Hz refresh rate, the highest ever achieved on an OLED display. Combined with an ultra-fast 0.02ms response time, this panel virtually eliminates motion blur and ghosting, even during extreme high-speed gameplay. Compared to traditional LCD monitors, the response time advantage is dramatic, making this panel particularly appealing for competitive esports and simulation titles.

This achievement is not just about raw numbers. OLED’s self-emissive pixels allow LG Display to maintain image clarity without sacrificing contrast or color accuracy, something that high-refresh LCDs often struggle with. The result is fluid motion that feels closer to real-time interaction than conventional screen rendering.

World’s First 39-Inch 5K2K OLED for Immersive Work and Play

LG Display is also unveiling the world’s first 39-inch 5K2K Gaming OLED panel, featuring a 21:9 ultrawide aspect ratio and a 1500R curved design. With a resolution that surpasses standard UHD, this panel targets users who demand expansive screen real estate, including video editors, cinematographers, and multitasking professionals.

Notably, LG Display remains the only manufacturer currently producing 39-inch OLED panels at scale. The combination of ultrawide resolution, curvature, and OLED contrast creates an immersive environment that works equally well for content creation and cinematic gaming experiences.

RGB Stripe Pixel Structure at 240Hz

Another industry first comes in the form of a Gaming OLED panel featuring a 240Hz refresh rate with an RGB stripe pixel structure. Unlike alternative sub-pixel layouts, RGB stripe technology allows for precise pixel alignment, resulting in sharper text rendering and cleaner color transitions. With a pixel density of 160 ppi, this panel is optimized for desktop operating systems where clarity and readability matter.

This approach bridges the gap between gaming performance and productivity, making OLED a more practical choice for users who spend long hours working as well as gaming.

Primary RGB Tandem 2.0 Raises OLED Brightness Standards

All Gaming OLED panels launching in 2026 will adopt LG Display’s latest Primary RGB Tandem 2.0 technology. This advanced OLED stack structure enables each primary color to emit light independently, improving efficiency and longevity. The updated version delivers peak brightness of up to 1,500 nits, supports HDR True Black 500, and covers up to 99.5% of the DCI color gamut.

These improvements push OLED monitors closer to reference-grade displays while maintaining the advantages of perfect blacks and wide viewing angles.

With these announcements, LG Display signals a clear expansion of OLED monitors into both high-performance gaming and professional workflows. Pricing and availability are expected to be revealed closer to product launches in 2026, but the technological direction is already unmistakable.
