How much speed do you need when you’re getting sweaty with your gaming PC? “More” is the obvious answer, at least if you ask LG. The company’s newest OLED gaming monitor can hit up to 720Hz, though not without some compromises: the 27-inch 1440p panel needs to step down to 1080p resolution to hit that blistering speed.
At its native 2560×1440 resolution, the OLED can still hit an impressive 540Hz, more than double the current standard for 27-inch OLED gaming monitors. LG is calling the tech Dynamic Frequency & Resolution (DFR). It’s not the first time we’ve seen monitors sacrifice resolution for speed in a dedicated mode, with LG showing off a similar OLED monitor last year that can shift between 4K/240Hz and 1080p/480Hz.
Other highlights at the LG OLED Heritage exhibition in Seoul included a 45-inch 5K2K panel with an impressive 5120×2160 resolution (pictured above). That’s essentially a sized-up version of current ultrawide formats, with the semi-standard 34-inch size using 3440×1440. LG also showed off a fourth-generation 83-inch OLED TV panel with a huge boost in brightness up to 4,000 nits.
Expect these panels to show up in monitor designs from LG—and the many industrial partners that buy its panels to put in their own monitors—starting in 2026. It’s possible we might see some of them shown off as soon as CES in January.
