LG Display, the world's leading innovator of display technologies, announced today that it has developed the first-ever Gaming OLED panel with a switchable refresh rate and resolution. The company has begun mass production of the 31.5-inch panel this month, accelerating its push into the high-end gaming display market with new concept products.

This groundbreaking Gaming OLED panel allows users to freely choose between a high refresh rate (FHD 480 Hz) and a high-resolution mode (UHD 240 Hz) depending on the content.




In high refresh rate mode, users can enjoy games where speed and screen changes are particularly important, such as first-person shooter (FPS) or racing genres. Switching to high-resolution mode offers an exceptionally immersive experience watching movies with rich visual effects or high-definition 4K content. By comparison, conventional panels have a fixed resolution even when the refresh rate is changed, limiting their versatility for multiple applications.

Refresh rate refers to the number of images displayed on a monitor per second, while resolution represents the number of pixels that a screen can show. The higher the refresh rate, the smoother and sharper the images appear even during fast screen transitions, while a higher resolution enables more precise video and image quality.

LG Display's advanced solution is Dynamic Frequency & Resolution (DFR), its own independently developed new technology. With the arrival of DFR, users can choose which to prioritize between refresh rate and resolution by adjusting the image processing speed. IT has been applied for the first time with LG Display's 31.5-inch Gaming OLED panel.

The company's Gaming OLED panel is also equipped with other LG Display technologies to enhance its immersive experience. These include META Technology 2.0 based on the company's Micro Lens Array (MLA) innovation, which maximizes the emission of light from organic materials to elevate image quality. Also, Thin Actuator Sound technology, which directly generates sound from the screen without a separate speaker, has been adopted to provide more vivid sound.

LG Display plans to supply its new 31.5-inch Gaming OLED panel to global gaming gear brands, starting with LG Electronics. The company is accelerating its expansion into the high-end gaming display market from this year with a full lineup of Gaming OLED panels spanning 27, 31.5, 34, 39, and 45 inches.

Unlike LCDs, which require backlighting, the company's Gaming OLED panels are self-emissive, enabling each pixel to produce perfect blacks and lifelike image quality. With an ultra-high refresh rate (480 Hz), they also have the fastest response time (0.03 ms) of any panel on the market.

Moreover, Gaming OLEDs have less potential to cause eye fatigue than LCD screens even during long gaming sessions, as they emit half the amount of blue light and produce no headache-associated flicker.

"We will create new customer value with OLED's differentiated technologies - such as by offering perfect blacks, fast response times, and ultra-high refresh rates - and strengthen our leadership in the high-end gaming display market," said Won-seok Kang, Vice President and Head of the Large Display Product Planning Division at LG Display.

They haven't been producing the panels for the 32GS95UE-B yet? Hmm, that explains why the real release date has now moved to May 13 instead of what was supposed to be last week (April 18).

I anticipate it to cost around what their smaller premium OLED TV sets cost. Which isn't quite $2k, but is not a great price either.

Guys, no, it's currently on pre-order for $1400 (at least here in the US):

Yes it costs just under the the LG C4 42":

The way LG describes this, I understand that the monitor is able to change the resolution with every frame. And that would actually be possible - if the entire processing chain, from the game or application all the way to the monitor, supported it.

Would rather a 120hz VRR OLED HDTV, for that money... (And I adore high-refresh rate)

Meh, wake me up when there are reasonably priced 27-28 inch 4K options with 144 or, if they really must, 240Hz refresh. While being able to switch to FHD at 480 is a cool gimmick, I honestly don’t see the use unless one is really, REALLY into competitive FPS. And those days are long behind me.

That's the way I went. 55" B9 OLED is a bit big yes, but rocks for armchair gaming and heck, I paid less than this...

I'd take a 30-32" Widescreen or 39"+ Ultrawide OLED,
120+hz w/ VRR at 1080-1440 vertical resolution for under $500.
I was looking intently, before I spent the rest of my 'upgrade funds' on other technocrap...:oops:

That's the way I went. 55" B9 OLED is a bit big yes, but rocks for armchair gaming and heck, I paid less than this...
Hoping a generation or two back LG OLED 120hz+ HDTV might end up at liquidation pricing, when. I actually have funds for such.
I was kicking myself for missing out on WalMart and BestBuy clearing-out LG OLED HDTVs, recently.

I am assuming they're gonna have some kind of internal integer scaling for the 1080p mode because if not this is going to be a useless feature.

The way LG describes this, I understand that the monitor is able to change the resolution with every frame. And that would actually be possible - if the entire processing chain, from the game or application all the way to the monitor, supported it.
This is just a static setting thing, you either choose 4K 240hz or 1080p 480hz.

I quietly hoped the ASUS one would be cheaper but I'm certain I am kidding myself.

Keep in mind it's WOLED not QDOLED so you're getting a matte finish of some description which seems have largely divided people on the youtube reviews that have gone live.

I'm waiting on the AORUS model myself as it's got DP2.1 and over here it's the same price as all but the Alienware model (which I wrote off due to the fan) which is 2200AUD

Also LG along with ASUS tends to be on the expensive end. It does not mean the panel itself costs 1400 because LG has already included their margin in that price.
The price will go down the more manufacturers start using this panel. I suspect AOC will have the cheapest model based on this.
I love it, but i am not sure why this is news, we have known about this panel for a long time now and already seen reviews from moniotrs unboxed, optimum tech, etc
Those were pre-release samples or near final products. I believe the panel now entered mass production, hence the press release.

For the people having questions, there are already reviews out:

480 Hz is super clear motion and as long as you don't opt for 27" and 24" modes it's not that bad when it comes to sharpness.

I believe this is a press release and not real news. I'm okay with press releases on techpowerup, though, as long as they don't take the upper hand in the news section. I'm excited about this panel. I mostly play fast paced multiplayer games or older/independent releases with lower demands, which would benefit from 4k resolution. I don't play enough to justify buying a 4090 though. So that panel would solve some problems for me.

So as I suspected it going to look like crap in 1080p, I wonder what's so difficult about just simply quadrupling every pixel since they're scaling the image anyway.

OptimumTech has it explained well:

With Full wide mode it looks the best due to 4:1 pixel binning, 27" and 24" modes apply additional scaling.

Keep in mind it's WOLED not QDOLED so you're getting a matte finish of some description which seems have largely divided people on the youtube reviews that have gone live.

I'm waiting on the AORUS model myself as it's got DP2.1 and over here it's the same price as all but the Alienware model (which I wrote off due to the fan) which is 2200AUD

AORUS model has been selling on newegg. However, there is no DP2.1 video card out so how long are we going to be waiting on that?

There are DP 2.1 video cards but that is an inaccurate description without clarifying the bandwidth. RX 7000 series is UHBR 13.5 @ 54Gbps so higher than DP 1.4 and 7000 Pro series cards are UHBR 20 at full DP 2.1 bandwidth.

Variable Refresh, *and* Variable (pseudonative?) Resolution!?

Yes. Want.

Edit: they're well-north of a grand!? No thanks. Can wait, indefinitely. :laugh:

Was hoping 'for gaming' meant mass-produced and affordable. That's "Halo-tier pricing" IMO
Would rather a 120hz VRR OLED HDTV, for that money... (And I adore high-refresh rate)
With fancy new tech and halo tier features, this looks like it would demand halo tier pricing. We might get black Friday sales next year of of 40% off to make room for the new model. I don't see how anyone would look at this press release and think it would be an affordable option.
