LG Display has begun mass production of a 24.5-inch OLED panel capable of a 720Hz refresh rate at Full HD resolution, the highest refresh rate currently available in an OLED display. The panel debuts in ASUS's ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace, which has been named the official monitor for the PGL CS2 Major Singapore 2026 tournament.
LG Display has announced the launch and mass production of what it calls the world's first 24.5-inch OLED panel supporting a 720Hz refresh rate, aimed squarely at the esports monitor market. According to LG, the panel pairs this refresh rate with a 0.02ms response time at Full HD (1920x1080) resolution, which the company says is currently the fastest combination available among gaming OLED displays.
To hit 720Hz at FHD resolution, LG developed a proprietary driving algorithm that manages everything from panel design to the driving system, rather than simply pushing a higher number. Because each pixel in the OLED panel emits light independently rather than relying on a backlight, LG says motion blur and ghosting are significantly reduced in fast-paced genres like FPS and racing titles, while also delivering more vivid picture quality.
ASUS is the first manufacturer to bring this panel to market with its ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace, which KitGuru reports is priced at $1,099 and has been selected as the official esports monitor for the PGL CS2 Major Singapore 2026 tournament. LG has also stated plans to expand its gaming OLED lineup across sizes from 20-inch to 40-inch class, with some future models incorporating its Dynamic Frequency & Resolution (DFR) technology.
