Following Samsung’s announcement of three new Odyssey gaming displays, traditional rivals LG have also made an announcement of their own. At the upcoming CES 2024 event, the tech giant will be debuting its very own 480Hz OLED display panel built specially for gaming. However, the catch here is that while Samsung announced the display as a whole, LG has announced a panel which it will sell to other brands who are keen on making professional gaming displays.
Last year, LG focussed on 240Hz displays, so this year’s 480 Hz upgrade is definitely a huge step up. The panel will also feature a resolution of 2560×1440 pixels, which is classified as QHD, while the response time is tipped at 0.03s. LG has claimed that their new panel will be the quickest in the market and a game changer.
Coming to the image quality, LG will be adding in their proprietary META technology to bring next level visuals to customers. For those of you who may not be aware, META technology incorporates a micro lens array to maximize the emission of light from the OLED panel and minimize external reflections. This is especially useful when you are playing games which have dark environments.
LG has also announced that their new panels will be emitting the least amount of blue light in the market, cutting down the emissions by almost half, which is quite significant. According to the announcement, we will start seeing these new panels in gaming displays starting from the first half of 2024, and parent companies will be announced soon.
If you are a gamer who is looking to upgrade your gaming display, you should definitely tune into CES 2024 as there are some major display announcement coming.
