LG Display starts mass production of 24.5-inch 720Hz OLED panel for ASUS ROG. ASUS ROG gets LG Display's new 24.5-inch 720Hz OLED panel. LG Display has started mass production of its new 24.5-inch OLED gaming panel capable of running at 720Hz at its native 1920x1080 resolution. The panel also has a claimed 0.02 ms response time and is aimed primarily at esports monitors. LG Display calls it the first OLED panel developed specifically for this market. According to LG Display, the company developed a new driving algorithm capable of maintaining the 720Hz refresh rate at Full HD resolution. In other words, the panel does not rely on a reduced-resolution mode to reach its maximum refresh rate (so no 720p 'HD-Ready' mode here). ASUS ROG gets the first 720Hz panel. The first monitor using the new panel is the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace. ASUS announced the 24.5-inch model at Gamescom alongside three other compact ROG OLED displays. The PG259QWS Ace uses a Tandem WOLED panel with a TrueBlack Glossy coating and supports 720Hz at 1920x1080. The rest of ASUS's 24.5-inch OLED lineup includes the ROG Strix OLED XG259QWPG Ace with a 540Hz Tandem WOLED panel. The ROG Strix OLED XG259QDPG Ace and XG259QDNS Ace instead use RGB Stripe QD-OLED panels running at 560Hz and 360Hz respectively. ASUS lists 0.02 ms response times for its Tandem WOLED models. | ASUS Gamescom Monitors | | VideoCardz.com | Size | Panel | Resolution | Refresh rate | | ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace | 24.5" Tandem WOLED | 1920x1080 | 720Hz | | ROG Strix OLED XG259QDPG Ace | 24.5" RGB QD-OLED | 1920x1080 | 560Hz | | ROG Strix OLED XG259QDNS Ace | 24.5" RGB QD-OLED | 1920x1080 | 360Hz | | ROG Strix XG27UCMG | 27" Fast IPS | 3840x2160 | 240Hz / 400Hz / 488Hz | | ROG Strix XG27ACNS | 27" Fast IPS | 2560x1440 | 475Hz / 620Hz / 920Hz | 720Hz finally without dropping below Full HD. ASUS already offers 27-inch Tandem OLED monitors capable of reaching 720Hz, including the ROG Swift OLED PG27AQWP-W and PG27AQWP-G Edition 20. Those displays run at up to 540Hz at their native QHD resolution before switching to a lower-resolution HD mode for 720Hz. The new 24.5-inch panel instead delivers 720Hz across its native Full HD resolution. LG Display says the PG259QWS Ace has also been selected as the official monitor for the PGL CS2 Major Singapore 2026. With panel mass production now underway, the company is preparing to expand OLED further into the 24-inch esports segment, which until recently has been dominated by high-refresh-rate LCD monitors.

Conquering esports with 720Hz LG Display launches 24.5-inch FHD 720Hz Tandem WOLED. In esports, where players need to spot fast-moving opponents first and react with precision in a split second, monitor performance can directly impact gameplay. In particular, monitors in the 24-inch class have long been favored for competitive gaming, as their size allows players to take in the entire screen at a glance. Now, there's a display that combines an esports-optimized 24.5-inch size with superior picture quality and ultra-fast performance of Tandem WOLED has arrived. LG Display is officially launching the industry's first 24.5-inch FHD (1,920 x 1,080) 720Hz Tandem WOLED panel, opening up new possibilities for OLED in the esports monitor market. 1 esports-optimized size: 24.5 inches. Unlike conventional gaming environments, esports require players to quickly take in the entire screen and respond immediately to their opponents' movements. This is why professional players have traditionally preferred monitors in the 24-inch class, which allow the entire screen to fit naturally within their field of view rather than using overly large displays. According to ProSettings which tracks data on professional gamers, 24.5-inch was the most commonly used monitor size among 935 CS2 professional players in 2026, with FHD resolution also widely used. LG Display focused on these esports requirements to develop a 24.5-inch Tandem WOLED panel optimized for esports gaming. By combining a 24.5-inch display that allows players to take in the entire screen at a glance with a high refresh rate and ultra-fast response time optimized for fast-paced gameplay, LG Display maximized the display performance required for competitive gaming. 2 world-class refresh rate among gaming OLED displays: 720Hz. The most notable feature of the new 24.5-inch FHD Tandem WOLED is its ultra-high 720Hz refresh rate. Refresh rate refers to the number of times a monitor can refresh the image on the screen per second. A 720Hz refresh rate means the screen refreshes 720 times per second, enabling smoother and more precise rendering of fast-moving game scenes. Especially, in genres such as first-person shooters (FPS) and racing games, where split-second movements and rapid inputs are critical, a high refresh rate helps deliver smoother motion and allows players to track fast-moving objects more easily. Following the unveiling of its 24.5-inch 540Hz Tandem WOLED panel at the Taiwan Gaming OLED Roadshow in June, LG Display has now raised the native refresh rate to 720Hz. Achieving a stable 720Hz refresh rate requires more than simply increasing the panel's driving speed. It requires precise optimization to ensure that the panel design and driving circuitry work together seamlessly. LG Display developed and applied its proprietary algorithm to enable stable 720Hz operation at FHD resolution, creating an integrated solution spanning from panel design to the driving system. The panel also achieves an ultra-fast 0.02ms response time. Response time refers to the time required for a pixel to transition from one image to the next. Even with a high refresh rate, slow pixel response can result in motion blur or trailing behind fast-moving objects. By combining a 720Hz ultra-high refresh rate with a 0.02ms response time, the panel can render moving vehicles and opponents appearing suddenly on screen with greater clarity. This enables both smoother screen transitions and clearer motion in competitive games where fast aiming and split-second reactions are critical. 3 Tandem WOLED with FHD resolution, capturing every split-second movement with clarity. Equally important to accurately rendering motion is how clearly the fine details on screen can be displayed. LG Display's Tandem WOLED leverages OLED's self-emissive nature - each pixel generates its own light. Unlike LCDs that rely on a backlight, OLED can control each pixel individually, delivering deeper blacks by emitting no light in dark areas. This is particularly beneficial in FPS games, where players frequently need to spot opponents' movements in dark environments or through smoke. With deep blacks and high contrast, Tandem WOLED can render details in dark areas with greater clarity. The panel also features FHD (1,920 x 1,080) resolution. In esports environments, where fast screen transitions and the ability to take in the entire screen at a glance are more important than high resolution, LG Display combines FHD resolution optimized for the 24.5-inch screen with a 720Hz ultra-high refresh rate to maximize the performance required for competitive gaming. A full lineup of gaming Tandem WOLED panels, from 20-inch to 40-inch classes. The launch of the 24.5-inch FHD 720Hz Tandem WOLED panel is also significant in that it further strengthens LG Display's lineup of Tandem WOLED panels for gaming monitors, including those designed specifically for the esports market. The launch of the 24.5-inch FHD 720Hz Tandem WOLED panel further strengthens LG Display's lineup of Tandem WOLED panels for gaming monitors, including esports-focused models. LG Display is mass-producing Gaming OLED panels featuring Tandem WOLED in sizes ranging from 24.5 inches for esports to 27, 31.5, 39, 42 and 45 inches. This lineup supports a wide range of gaming genres and uses cases, from esports, where fast inputs and a clear field of view are essential, to racing and simulation games, where larger screens and immersive experiences enhance gameplay. In addition, certain models are enhanced by LG Display's proprietary Dynamic Frequency & Resolution (DFR) technology, enabling users to switch between refresh rates and resolutions based on the content. Users can choose higher resolution for image-rich games or higher refresh rates for competitive titles where fast motion is critical. Beyond gaming, LG Display is expanding OLED applications in the monitor market. The company is the first in the industry to mass-produce RGB Stripe OLED for business and professional monitors. RGB Stripe OLED features an RGB Stripe pixel structure, with red, green and blue subpixels arranged in a linear stripe pattern. This structure improves text readability by enabling sharper text rendering at close viewing distances, expanding OLED's potential in professional applications such as enterprise PCs, medical systems and stock trading. LG Display will continue to expand OLED applications with a diverse range of Tandem WOLED panels optimized for different gaming genres and use cases.
