LG Display has begun mass production of a 24.5-inch Gaming OLED panel with a 720 Hz refresh rate. The new panel was designed primarily with esports players in mind. The manufacturer declares a response time of 0.02 ms.
OLED 720 Hz for esports
The new LG Display panel has a 24.5-inch diagonal. Around 24 inches is currently the sweet spot in the world of esports, as the manufacturer itself notes. A smaller screen area is much easier for a player to take in at a glance and doesn't require unnecessary scanning of the display. The panel operates at Full HD (1920 x 1080), and the claimed response time is 0.02 ms. The manufacturer says the monitor is mainly intended for racing games and first-person shooters. The most important spec, however, is the refresh rate of 720 Hz, which at first glance can be quite impressive.
As we showed in a video on our YouTube channel, around 600 Hz marks the limit of what the human eye can perceive. So the question arises: do higher values actually make a difference? Check out our video and see for yourselves.
The first monitor already uses this panel
LG Display announced that the new panel has been included in ASUS's new monitor, specifically the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace. It's worth noting that this model was chosen as the official monitor of the PGL CS2 Major Singapore 2026, the biggest event of the year in the Counter-Strike world.
It's going to be expensive
ASUS has set a price of €1,149 for the mentioned model. That clearly shows the monitor with an LG panel is aimed primarily at people for whom esports competition is more than just two matches after Sunday dinner. The release date is still unknown, but the manufacturer has said the monitor should be released before the end of the year.
