TL;DR: LG's new 24.5-inch Full HD OLED panel targets esports with a 720Hz refresh rate (via a proprietary algorithm), 0.02ms response time, deep blacks and improved motion clarity. Debuting in ASUS's ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace and chosen for the CS2 PGL Major, LG will scale the tech to more sizes.

LG's latest OLED gaming panel is designed specifically for esports and competitive gaming. The 24-inch Full HD OLED panel is described as a mainstream display, aiming to bring OLED technology to a wider gaming community, especially those who play competitive titles and esports at 1080p and high refresh rates.

And on that front, even though the 24-inch size and Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution might not sound all that impressive, this new OLED panel supports a 720Hz refresh rate driven by a "proprietary algorithm" and custom solution to ensure stable performance. It also supports a fast 0.02ms response time, making it one of the fastest OLED panels for latency and overall gaming performance.

With its 720Hz refresh rate, 0.02ms response time, and OLED technology for deep blacks, near-infinite contrast, and vibrant colors, it improves motion clarity. It reduces unwanted effects like ghosting while maintaining image quality that far exceeds non-OLED esports displays.

LG notes that this panel debuts in ASUS's ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace, which we went hands-on with at Computex 2026. This display has been chosen as the official esports monitor for the Counter-Strike 2 PGL Major in Singapore, paving the way for the panel and technology to become the new standard for esports displays. LG plans to expand its esports offerings with this new panel technology, including models in a wide range of sizes, with larger models set to support dynamic resolution switching.
