LG Display has provided some updates regarding its gaming monitor business, and with it comes the news that the company behind the UltraGear brand has begun full-scale mass production of a 27-inch QHD gaming OLED panel that is capable of delivering refresh rates of up to 480 Hz, a number that LG says is the highest refresh rate among existing OLEDs on the market. The new 2560×1440 panel, which features a response time of 0.02 ms, is also said to deliver improved text readability thanks to an optimized WRGB (white, red, green, blue) pixel structure.
LG Display writes (machine translated):
- “LG Display announced on the 29th that it will begin full-scale mass production of a 27-inch 480Hz QHD gaming OLED panel that has achieved the highest refresh rate and fastest response speed among existing OLEDs.”
- “This product provides an overwhelming gaming experience with LG Display OLED’s three-dimensional picture quality, in which each pixel emits light without a backlight, an ultra-high refresh rate of 480Hz, an industry-leading 0.02ms response speed, and QHD (2560×1440) resolution.”
- “As the injection rate increased, the response speed also broke a new record at 0.02ms (milliseconds, 1ms is 1/1000th of a second) based on GTG. It was shortened by 0.01ms from the previous maximum speed of 0.03ms.”
- “Not only has the readability of characters been improved compared to before when playing games or working on documents through optimization of the WRGB (white, red, green, blue) pixel structure, but the immersion has been maximized with a 4-sided borderless design that minimizes the bezel, which is the width of the screen frame.”
- “LG Display’s gaming OLED has improved picture quality by applying ‘ META Technology ‘ that maximizes the light emission of organic materials and combines proprietary algorithms , while also minimizing the ‘ image bleeding ‘ phenomenon where surrounding objects are reflected on the screen.”

LG added:
…LG Display is accelerating its advance into the rapidly growing gaming display market with a full lineup of gaming OLEDs using its proprietary technology, ranging from 27 inches to 45 inches. According to global market research firm Omdia, the gaming monitor market size is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 5.8% from USD 12.77 billion (KRW 17 trillion) this year to USD 15.13 billion (KRW 20 trillion) in 2027.

I've been at 27" for a few years, and before that I was on 16:10 24" for almost a decade. I'm over it. I mean sure, 1440p at 27" with a sitting distance of about 2 feet works great, with just the right pixel density. But when I jump to 4K I'm definitely gonna need something bigger, and 32" is the bare minimum for that. 16:9 27" just does NOT feel large enough. I'm definitely ready for larger. I got friends rollin' with 42" or 48" LG OLEDs as their monitors. And some friends have been using giant HDTVs as primary displays (not even secondary) since the late 2000s. One of my friends is currently using a fucking 77" C2 or C3 as his primary display.

Since 2015, I've used a 48" and a 49" Samsung TV and an Alienware 34" prior to the Acer 43" CG437KP I use currently.
Prior to that I was using 3x30" Dell 3007WFP-HC's. I got my first 30" in 2007 or 2008. I've been using larger displays for almost a decade. Dropping to 27" doesn't appeal what so ever.
Yep, I finished using 27" displays on my desktops around 2016 or so after I got a 31.5" LG IPS 4K monitor. Since then I tried the 49" CRG9 and that was fun for a bit but have really gotten used to enjoying the 42" C2 and otherwise 65" T.V.'s that have been in the cave. At this point for the desk, I'm happy with 32-42" but wouldn't go smaller.
Here's the wingnut request. What I would really like is a 40-42" 21:10 4K OLED/120-140Hz/G-Sync/HDR1000 display. Been dreaming about something like that ever since getting the laptop in my signature.
I wish all the top-quality, high-refresh-rate, VRR monitors would also come in 16:10 format.

We had a bunch of those monitors at work back then, and I f*cking loved them.

So you want an LG OLED C3? Because that's exactly what I have.. though the refresh is only 120 hz. It hits everything else. Wait.. I don't know that it is 21:10. It will do 21:9.

SInce they don't seem to exist I've been doing some research over the last year or two and I think it actually breaks down to 2:1 but I'm not positive.
A lot of gaming laptops came out in 2024 with a 16:10 1440p variant of 2560x1600, the Acer Predator I have has that and it's pretty awesome. I thought about 32:10, so in this case 5120x1600 but I'm not that enthusiastic about ultra-wide after having spent time with a CRG9. For that, 2:1 would be 3200x1600 which could be the sweet spot. As far as a 4K version goes, 4320x2160.
