LG Display is set to showcase new Gaming OLED panel technologies at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, running from January 6 to 9. The company will present several new panels focused on higher refresh rates, faster response times, and updated OLED structures for gaming and professional use.
Why it Matters: Gaming displays are increasingly defined by speed, clarity, and resolution. By pushing refresh rates and pixel structures further, panel makers like LG Display are shaping how future monitors will perform for both gamers and creators.
LG Display said the lineup will include a 27-inch Gaming OLED panel with a 720Hz refresh rate and a 0.02ms response time, a 39-inch 5K2K Gaming OLED panel, and an OLED panel featuring a 240Hz RGB stripe pixel structure.
One of the key highlights is a 27-inch Gaming OLED panel capable of reaching a 720Hz refresh rate, the highest announced so far for an OLED gaming display. The panel also offers a response time of up to 0.02ms, designed to reduce motion blur and afterimages during fast-paced gameplay.
LG Display will also introduce a 39-inch 5K2K Gaming OLED panel with a 21:9 aspect ratio and 1500R curvature. The company noted that it is currently the only manufacturer producing OLED panels in this size. The panel is positioned for immersive gaming and creative workloads such as video editing and cinematography.
Another panel on display uses a 240Hz RGB stripe pixel structure. LG Display said this design improves text sharpness and fine detail rendering, with a pixel density of 160 pixels per inch. The panel is optimized for common computer operating systems, making it suitable for both gaming and productivity tasks.
In addition to individual panels, LG Display confirmed that all Gaming OLED monitors launching in 2026 will use its updated Primary RGB Tandem 2.0 technology. This OLED structure uses separate emission layers for red, green, and blue light, paired with an optimized pixel layout and updated processing algorithms.
According to the company, Gaming OLED panels using Primary RGB Tandem 2.0 can reach peak brightness levels of up to 1,500 nits, support HDR True Black 500, and cover up to 99.5 percent of the DCI color gamut.
With CES 2026 approaching, will higher refresh rates and new OLED structures become the new baseline for gaming monitors?
