LG Display Said to Start Producing 27-Inch W-OLED Panels This Month

Due to a slowdown in demand for W-OLED TVs, LG Display is said to be kicking off production of 27-inch W-OLED panels later this month, assuming everything goes to plan. This is admittedly based on rumours from Chinese site WeiXin QQ, so it should be taken with some caution. The site claims that the news comes via the Korean media, but we haven't managed to find a Korean source that could corroborate such a claim. The report is quite thin on details, so it's unknown what resolution these 27-inch panels will offer. Apparently 32-inch panels are also an option, as well as 40-inch panels for TVs.

The first customer for the 27-inch panels is unsurprisingly said to be LG Electronics, who is expected to launch a 27-inch gaming monitor based on the W-OLED panel sometime in early 2023. In related news, LG Display is betting on an improvement in the OLED TV market space in 2023, with the company said to be planning to manufacture no less than 9.2 million large sized OLED panels next year. Samsung is also said to be considering using LG Display's W-OLED panels in some of its products next year, but this has been a long time rumour that has not come to fruition so far.

Those 32" panels better not be 1440p

You love stating personal opinions as fact, don't you?

It's pretty easy to check on places like reddit and see what people think of their OLED displays and burn in seems extremely rare, and covered by warranty

I have waited years for this. I may say fuck it and do it. Screw the eye issue that PWM flicker causes me!

@TheLostSwede

THE GLORY DAYS OF GAMING HAVE ARRIVED! ALL HAIL! THE LAST DWARVES OF ERABOR! ALL HAIL THE ELVES OF THE LAST SHIP! ALL HAIL LG! FOR BRINGING GLORY TO THE REALM OF GAMING! ALL HAIL! THE BELLS TOLL ON THIS DAY!

I hope it's 1440p 27" :rockout: :rockout: :rockout: :rockout: :rockout: :rockout: :rockout:
There is also a negative subliminal effect on the brain. The flickering IS registered in the brain and causes it to work in ways we haven't evolved to. Most notably leads to fatigue and dizziness. There are few papers on long term effects that I know of, though.

These are some heavily misleading statements. They say ANY risk of burn-in has been mitigated, but there is still some risk. There is especially risk for W-OLED panels, as there have been plenty of stories of people using their C1s as a regular monitor and getting burn-in because they aren't using dark mode, putting their windows in different positions every time, auto-hiding taskbars, etc. When using a modern W-OLED TV *AS A TV*, it's fine, there won't be any major risk of burn-in. But when using them as monitors, there is a risk, and you have to form new usage habits and change some interface settings to mitigate that risk.

QD-OLED is said to be more burn-in resistant, but TVs and monitors using that technology haven't been around for long enough to put that to the test.

Vayra86Give me a 3440x1440 OLED ultrawide LG. Quickly now. Waiting almost half my life for a decent monitor.
Why? When the Alienware is out now and is by far a superior panel. I have had mine on order now for it feels like a few months. Even Dell Nordic can't get me one until the beginning of November, but I will just stick it out and wait for that email with "Your package has been shipped" When the day FINALLY comes.
sephiroth117The alienware ultra wide, without Gsync ultimate will officially cost 1000-1100$ (november it releases I think)
Got a citation for this? As you can see from my previous post I already have the current model on order for quite some time and have no use for or even want the Gsync Module. If what you say is true I have to debate waiting out the release and diving back into the VERY long lineup again to get one that might be cheaper and definitely not having expensive features I don't want anyway...

rv8000AGAIN WITH THE 27”, pleaseeeeee stop. 32” 4K at reasonable price and these would be absolute hot cakes.

The options for 32” monitors and up are way to limited!
27" would be 1440p 240 Hz.

please 32" 4K so i can double up. 27" 1440p is all you need because at 4K you cant see anything except smaller icons and text.

I personally want something like a 27" 1440p 120Hz+ monitor.

That is cute. You should google what opinion means before spouting this nonsense.

These companies really don't understand the PC monitor market. Who wants to use Windows and office apps on a 27" 4k monitor?

TheLostSwedeEach to their own.


It's still just a rumour though.
27" isn't a rumor, it's been shown on the LG display roadmaps before. Bigger than that, sure.

In other news MSI had a stream in which they've shown their QD-OLED in more detail, it will include HDMI 2.1, USB-C with 65 W PD and DP-alt mode, KVM and a light sensor. No details on availability and price.

ALL OLED suffer from burn-in. Some manufacturers put it in the fine print, others don't. But it's there and some manufacturers use annoying (for me at least) tricks to avoid warranty claims.

Except the. Alienware OLED has built in anti burn in feature’s because it‘s actually a PC monitor. Has a short “pixel massage” setting it will ask to run after a certain amount of hours used then a full one that apparently takes about an hour to complete.

Hence the 'trick' part.

rv8000I disagree completely. What’s awful are 27” panels at 4K with microscopic icons and text. Then you get to deal with windows scaling and game interfaces looking terrible if you try to scale certain things.

27”, and anything below, at 4K is a bad experience imo. Larger panels up to 30-34” are fantastic for gaming and having enough screen real estate for photo/modeling work with a secondary monitor above or to the side.

I also don’t understand how consumers buying $800-$1400+ monitors end up not having room to accommodate a proper sized desk to fit such setups.

The 24”-27” range in the monitor market is so saturated already. Some competition in the larger monitor area would be wonderful because the prices in comparison are laughably bad.
I will say this, I haven’t used a 4K monitor before as GPUs haven’t been able to push the frame rates I prefer at that resolution. We’ll find out this generation if they can do 90 FPS+ in most games with max settings or not.

As for desk space (65x32”)… my 27s take up damn near all of my desk as is. 3 X 32” monitors, I’ll be in this bitch like IMAX theaters. Doesn’t seem like the way for me… we’ll see once I get eyes on a 27 & 32” 4K OLED monitors.

How is offering a proper solution to prevent burn in a “trick?”It’s what’s necessary to prevent your “sky is falling“ take on OLED…

It doesn't prevent it, it just delays it. Though I agree that anything that prolongs the life of your product is a good thing.

By the way, these anti burn-in measures essentially work by detecting the most "burnt-in" subpixels (they're more burnt-out but whatever), and then burning all the others so pixel burning happens more evenly. This means that over time your display will dim, but hopefully burn-in happens much more slowly. How much your display will dim over the course of, say, five or more years, obviously remains to be seen.
