Key Takeaways
1. LG Display is launching two new WOLED screens, including a gaming monitor with 4,000 nits brightness and 540 Hz refresh rate, set to release later this year.
2. The new monitor will have a peak brightness of around 1,500 nits for a small portion of the screen, surpassing current models like the LG UltraGear OLED 27GX790A-B.
3. The 540 Hz panel will outperform Samsung’s existing 500 Hz QD-OLED panel, which has the same resolution and fast response time.
4. LG Display’s Dual-Mode technology allows the panel to reach 720 Hz at 720p resolution, with only one monitor currently using this feature.
5. Mass production of the 540 Hz model is planned for late this year, while a similar 27-inch WOLED panel with 280 Hz refresh rate is already in production, with the Gigabyte MO27Q28G expected to launch this summer.
LG Display has revealed some information about what TFTCentral believes to be at least two new WOLED screens expected to launch later this year. To recap, Asus mentioned initial details about a new gaming monitor that offers 4,000 nits brightness and a refresh rate of 540 Hz last month at Computex 2025.
Brightness and Specifications
In its press release, LG Display does not specify the 4,000 nits peak brightness. Instead, it mentions that gamers can look forward to around 1,500 nits for a small part of the 27-inch screen (APL 1.5%). Nevertheless, this display will shine brighter than LG Display’s current model found in monitors like the LG UltraGear OLED 27GX790A-B, which is currently priced at $899.99 on Amazon.
Competitive Edge
Additionally, this 540 Hz panel would be faster than a 500 Hz version made by Samsung Display. This 500 Hz QD-OLED panel is already used in more gaming monitors and has the same native resolution of 2,560 x 1,440 pixels and a fast 0.03 ms GtG response time as the upcoming LG Display model.
Innovative Features
As always, LG Display has its Dual-Mode technology, which allows the panel to reach 720 Hz when it switches to 720p resolution. So far, only one monitor from Super Display Co (SDC) has been seen using this specialized 720p/720 Hz setting.
Currently, LG Display aims to start mass production of this 540 Hz model in the latter half of the year. Meanwhile, the company has already begun making a similar 27-inch WOLED panel that uses 4th Gen Primary Tandem technology. This other panel features a 1440p resolution and a lowered refresh rate of 280 Hz. The Gigabyte MO27Q28G is expected to be the first model using this new panel, as the company displayed it at Computex 2025. The MO27Q28G is expected to be available for purchase later this summer.
