LG Display is world’s leading innovator of display technologies. It announced that it has successfully completed the development of its 27-inch 480Hz QHD Gaming OLED display and prepared an official showcase for CES 2024. This opens a new era of OLEDs featuring ultra-high refresh rates.

LG Display’s latest Gaming OLED display leverages unique OLED technology, allowing each pixel to emit light independently without a backlight unit, to deliver an unprecedented 480Hz refresh rate, immersive QHD (2,560 x 1,440) resolution, and the fastest response time (0.03ms) of any panel on the market today. It combines to realize the optimal gaming experience for avid gamers.

The display’s 480Hz refresh rate represents its ability to generate 480 images per second. A higher refresh rate is the best bet in gaming monitors as it makes game-play smoother and clearer, even during rapid screen transitions.

LG Display’s Gaming OLED displays offer enhanced image quality through the company’s cutting-edge ‘META Technology,’ which crucially incorporates a ‘Micro Lens Array (MLA)’ to maximize the emission of organic light from the OLED panel and minimize external light reflections during darker scenes.

Its Gaming OLEDs emit the lowest level of blue light in the industry and approximately half the amount emitted by premium LCDs. This reduction in blue light not only minimizes eye fatigue but also eliminates flickers, providing gamers with more comfortable and enjoyable gaming sessions.

LG Display is set to launch the 27-inch 480Hz QHD Gaming OLED display during the first half of the year. Meanwhile, the company will unveil its full lineup of Gaming OLED displays in sizes 27, 31.5, 34, 39, and 45 inches at CES 2024 as it announces its entry into the high-end gaming display market.

LG Display’s Gaming OLED displays in the 30-inch range are the latest additions to the already impressive lineup. Most notably, the new 34- and 39-inch Gaming OLED displays offer an ultra-wide (21:9) aspect ratio for an immersive gaming experience, while the 31.5-inch panel supports a UHD (3840×2160) resolution that makes it suitable not only for gaming but also for office work and content consumption.

Won-seok Kang, Vice President and Head of the Large Display Product Planning Division at LG Display made the following statement: “To strengthen our leadership in the high-end gaming display market, we will continue to harness the power of OLED’s distinctive qualities such as ultra-high refresh rates, fast response times, and perfect black for next-level viewing experiences.”

LG Electronics do Brasil promoted an action that will warm families in situations of social vulnerability, collecting the uniforms used by the promoters and sending them to a company specialized in solving social and environmental problems that reuses fabrics and turns them into blankets. In total, LG do Brasil collected more than 1,500 pieces, totaling 300 kilos of fabric that were transformed into 300 blankets.
LG transformed into blankets for the Chaparral community, in São Paulo.

The initiative is part of the brand’s ESG management strategy and engaged employees and suppliers from hundreds of LG points of sale who embraced the idea and helped the company achieve environmental and social goals. The thousands of pieces were destined for Retalhar, a B company that responsibly manages textile waste through innovative and inclusive solutions for reusing fabrics. By reducing the amount of waste, the initiative helps reduce the exploitation of natural resources for the production of raw materials, generating a positive socio-environmental impact.

With the uniforms donated by LG, Retalhar produced 300 blankets for people in socially vulnerable situations in the Chaparral community, in the East Zone of the capital of São Paulo. The materials collected also yielded other pieces, such as industrial cloths, eco bags and other environmentally friendly items. “ESG is a flag that LG raises with great pride. We are a company that looks responsibly at our surroundings, at the resources and at the people who believe in our brand. This action makes us happy to combine action and practice, taking care of the planet and impact families in situations of social vulnerability.”, says Sonah Lee, head of Marketing and ESG at LG do Brasil.

LG do Brasil’s Marketing Budget manager, Thiago Henrique, was responsible for making the collection of uniforms possible. “The participation of Spot, LG’s partner trade marketing agency, was essential to the success of the action, bringing together pieces at points of sale across the country. We are already thinking about new activities for the correct disposal of waste and new forms of collaboration with the society and the environment”, he says.

LG Electronics said on Tuesday that it has launched a disinfection robot that will assist in containing the spread of COVID-19.

LG Cloi Disinfectbot comes with ultraviolet-C (UV-C) lamps on its sides. UV-C has an emission wavelength between 100 to 280nm that is effective in killing germs, the company said.

The UV-C lamp on the robot was shown to be 99.9% effective in killing bacteria coliform and staphylococcus aureus from within a metre radius by the Korea Conformity Laboratories, a national research institute, the company said.
