LG Display has announced a new 27-inch 4K OLED panel ahead of CES 2026, aimed squarely at high-end gaming and professional monitors. It is the first OLED panel to combine a full RGB stripe subpixel structure with a 240Hz refresh rate. The panel aims to address long-standing OLED issues around text clarity while retaining high refresh rate and OLED’s strengths like perfect blacks, fast response times, and high colour volume.
SurveyLG 240Hz RGB stripe OLED panel: Details
- Panel type: OLED with RGB stripe subpixel layout
- Panel size and resolution: 27-inch, 3840 x 2160 (4K)
- Refresh rate: Up to 240Hz at 4K
- Dynamic Frequency & Resolution (DFR): Switches to 1920 x 1080 at up to 480Hz
- Pixel density: Around 160 PPI, optimised for Windows font rendering
Most current OLED gaming monitors rely on RGWB layouts (with a white subpixel or triangular RGB pixel arrangements. These designs improve brightness but can introduce colour fringing and softer text at close viewing distances. LG Display’s RGB stripe structure aligns red, green, and blue subpixels in straight rows, similar to LCD monitors, improving text sharpness and colour precision. Until now, this layout was limited to around 60Hz, making it unsuitable for gaming. The jump to 240Hz removes that barrier.
Additionally, the 480Hz mode at FHD resolution with DFR should cater to competitive esports players willing to trade resolution for speed.

Why this matters
This panel allows a single monitor to serve both competitive gaming and high-resolution creative or productivity workloads. This positions the panel as a true hybrid solution rather than a niche gaming display.
LG Display currently supplies roughly 30 percent of the global OLED monitor panel market (Source: LG). By pushing RGB stripe OLED into the high-refresh segment, the company is attempting to widen the gap with rivals using WOLED or QD-OLED alternatives. For monitor brands, this panel opens the door to premium products that prioritise clarity as much as speed.
Displays using it are expected to be expensive and targeted at enthusiasts, competitive gamers, and professionals who want one monitor for gaming and work. Power consumption, long-term OLED burn-in mitigation, and final monitor tuning will depend on individual brands implementing the panel.
Price and availability
LG Display has not announced pricing or confirmed which monitor brands will adopt the panel. Commercial products based on this panel are expected to be showcased by partner brands during CES 2026, with market availability likely later in 2026.
This panel is clearly aimed at the premium end of the market. Let’s see.
