In case you missed it, at the CES 2026 in Las Vegas, LG Display turned heads with a bold showcase of next-generation OLED monitor technologies that set several industry firsts. The company, known for pushing display boundaries, unveiled panels that stretch the limits of refresh rate, resolution, and pixel engineering—all built on its latest Primary RGB Tandem 2.0 OLED stack.
Among the highlights was a 27-inch OLED panel capable of an industry-leading 720 Hz refresh rate (!?) with an ultra-fast 0.02 ms (!!??) response time, delivering motion clarity that even professional gamers will appreciate. LG also showed the world’s first 39-inch 5K2K OLED panel with a 21:9 curved layout aimed at both gamers and creative professionals who need extra horizontal space and ultra-high detail.
Another milestone was the debut of an OLED panel with a 240 Hz RGB stripe pixel structure, designed to improve text and graphic clarity at high refresh rates—a step forward for productivity and gaming alike.
Because these panels are primarily prototypes or upcoming products from LG Display’s panel division, official retail pricing hasn’t been announced by LG at CES 2026. However, early listings for upcoming models give us a rough idea. A Russian retailer recently listed the curved 39GX950B 39-inch 5K2K OLED monitor at around $2,400 USD (likely placeholder pricing).
For context on current generation OLED gaming monitors, related models like the LG UltraGear 27GX790B with up to 720 Hz in dual-mode are already priced at about $999.99 USD in the U.S., showing how fast performance-focused OLED panels are evolving.
Folks, this might be the next frontier for desktop monitors.
