LG Display, the world's leading innovator of display technologies, announced today its launch of a 24.5-inch 720 Hz Gaming OLED panel, leading the esports monitor market paradigm. The company's 24.5-inch 720 Hz Gaming OLED panel is the first-ever OLED panel tailored specifically for esports.

Standard monitors used for esports are primarily in the 24-inch class, enabling players to view the entire screen at a glance. By initiating mass production of its 24.5-inch 720 Hz Gaming OLED panel, LG Display aims to pioneer the mainstreaming of OLED technology across the esports monitor market.

Acer used IFA Berlin to show off the Predator XB253Q U1, a 24.5-inch monitor that hits 1000 Hz at its native 1920x1080 resolution. That's notable because most "1000 Hz" monitors so far have needed a resolution cut to get there. Acer's own XB273U F6 from CES 2026, for example, only reaches 1000 Hz at 720p, dropping down from its native 1440p resolution. The XB253Q U1, on the other hand, uses an IPS panel and skips that compromise, offering full FHD at the full refresh rate. It also comes with Acer's VRB Pro backlight strobing tech to cut down motion blur, along with a circular polarizer layer aimed at reducing eye strain during long sessions. It's also VESA DisplayHDR 400 certified.

It's not the first monitor to pull this off. LG's UltraGear 25G590B got there first, also at 25 inches and 1000 Hz native FHD, and launched at $999.99. Acer's asking $1,099.99 for the XB253Q U1, a $100 premium over LG's price. In Europe it's priced at €1,099, and in China at RMB 7,999. Availability is set for Q1 2027 across North America, EMEA, and China, so this isn't a monitor you can buy just yet. We'll have to wait for independent testing to confirm whether the panel's 0.3 ms response times can actually keep up with 1000 Hz in real gameplay, rather than just on a spec sheet

Alogic today announced the latest addition to its premium monitor portfolio, introducing the Vision Connect, Vision Docking and Vision Ultrawide monitors and expanding its Clarity and Aspekt display ranges with new high resolution models, all showcased at IFA 2026 in Berlin.

AGON by AOC, the world's leading gaming monitor brand, is expanding its G4 gaming line-up with the AOC GAMING CQ32G4ZA. The 31.5-inch (80 cm) curved display combines a 1500R Fast VA panel with Triple Refresh Rate technology, response times of 0.3 ms MPRT as well as up to 1 ms GtG, DisplayHDR 400 support and 95 % DCI-P3 color coverage.

Most competitive players own one display and play several genres on it, each with different demands. The CQ32G4ZA meets them with three presets that can be selected from the on-screen menu:

• QHD at 260 Hz for detail-rich titles where texture quality and draw distance matter more than raw frame rate, from large-scale RPGs and strategy games to open-world adventures
• FHD at 360 Hz for competitive shooters, where a steady high frame rate counts for more than pixel density
• HD at 500 Hz for highly competitive scenarios where achieving the highest possible frame rate takes priority over image detail

MSI will showcase its latest QD-OLED lineup at COMPUTEX 2026. The MPG OLED 322URDX36 highlights this showcase with a brand new exterior design. It features a market-leading 4K 360 Hz QD-OLED panel and debuts Triple Mode, setting a new milestone for OLED gaming monitors.

The MPG OLED 322URDX36 is the world's first 31.5-inch 4K 360 Hz gaming monitor on the market to feature the innovative Triple Mode configuration. This technology allows players to switch freely between 4K 360 Hz, 2K 520 Hz, and FHD 680 Hz based on their preferences, meeting the specific performance demands of various game genres. The monitor utilizes a 5th-gen QD-OLED panel with Penta Tandem technology. Its RGB Stripe sub-pixel layout minimizes color fringing and ensures text clarity. The display is equipped with the DarkArmor Film, which improves black levels by 40% and increases scratch resistance by 2.5 times. Additionally, Uniform Luminance supports HDR curve customization, ensuring accurate and consistent visuals across all gaming environments.

LG Electronics (LG) today introduced the world's first Full HD (FHD, 1,920 x 1080) gaming monitor with a native 1000 Hz refresh-rate, marking a new step forward in display performance for competitive gaming. Designed with fast-paced titles in mind, the new LG UltraGear (model 25G590B) delivers ultra-fast visual response, motion clarity and consistent performance, enabling players to react more quickly and maintain precision in high-speed gameplay.

Dell has silently expanded its mainstream laptop portfolio with the new Dell 14S and 16S mid-range, productivity-focused notebooks positioned below the XPS lineup. The new models combine slim aluminium chassis designs with Intel's latest Core Ultra Series 3 processors and Copilot+ AI functionality. The Dell 14S is available in configurations equipped with up to a Core Ultra 9 386H, 32 GB of LPDDR5X memory, and a 14-inch FHD+ OLED touchscreen. The system measures 313.7 x 224 x 15.4 mm and weighs between 1.49 kg and 1.54 kg depending on configuration. Worth noting that Dell also offers the Intel Core Ultra X7 358H configuration, which upgrades several key specifications, including switching from standard Intel Graphics to Intel Arc graphics, doubling memory to 32 GB LPDDR5X, and increasing storage capacity to a 1 TB PCIe NVMe SSD. The higher-end configuration also changes the chassis color from Frost Blue to Celestial Blue and replaces the non-touch OLED display with a touch-enabled FHD+ OLED panel. However, this also raises the price to $2,169. Meanwhile, the larger Dell 16S starts with similar hardware but expands to a 16-inch chassis and optional 2.8K OLED touch display variants. The 16S laptops measure 356.8 x 251.4 x 15.4 mm, with the weight ranging from 1.79 kg to 1.86 kg.

LG Display, the world's leading innovator of display technologies, announced today that it will debut the world's first 27-inch 4K OLED panel for monitors featuring an RGB stripe structure and a 240 Hz refresh rate at CES 2026, the world's largest IT and consumer electronics exhibition. The RGB stripe structure arranges the three primary color subpixels—red, green, and blue—in a straight line, significantly reducing visual distortions such as color bleeding and fringing, even at close viewing distances.

Although OLED panels using the RGB stripe method existed before, their maximum refresh rate reached around 60 Hz, making them unsuitable for use as gaming monitors. LG Display's new panel is the first in the world to achieve a 240 Hz refresh rate while maintaining an RGB stripe structure. It incorporates the company's specialized Dynamic Frequency & Resolution (DFR) technology, allowing users to directly switch between high-resolution (UHD 240 Hz) and high-refresh-rate (FHD 480 Hz) modes.
