SEOUL, Korea (July 9, 2026) – LG Display, the world’s leading innovator of display technologies, announced today the outcomes of its experimental study on how the refresh rate of gaming monitors affects actual real-world gaming performance, with its related research paper published at an international academic conference.

According to the paper, “A study on the impact of refresh rate on real-time FPS gaming performance,” using a monitor with a higher refresh rate enhances object recognition in dynamic scenes, thereby improving reaction speed and accuracy.

For the experiment, 31 adult males described as general gamers experienced four different refresh rates — 60Hz, 240Hz, 360Hz, and 480Hz — in random order while playing a first-person shooter (FPS) game. Quantitative indicators included hit score (number of successful hits) and event interval time (time elapsed from target appearance to elimination), while qualitative indicators included smoothness, ease of tracking, and overall preference.

In terms of hit score, the gamers’ win rate improved by 38% at the highest level of 480Hz compared to the lowest level of 60Hz.

Despite significant gains being achieved even at 240Hz, the win rate increased by an additional 10% at 480Hz. This indicates that gaming performance continues to scale consistently as the refresh rate increases.

Qualitative satisfaction also improved as the refresh rate rose. Participants reported that higher levels resulted in smoother visuals and made it easier to track moving targets, which directly contributed to a stronger overall preference.

These performance advantages are attributed to the physical characteristics of OLED monitors. Higher OLED refresh rates significantly reduce input lag — the delay between input signals and on-screen response — as well as motion blur. In the experiment, input lag was reduced by more than 10 milliseconds at 480Hz compared to 60Hz. This reduction enabled gamers to determine the positions of fast-moving enemies more accurately.

Building on these findings, LG Display plans to continue strengthening its high-refresh-rate Gaming OLED lineup and further solidify its leadership in the gaming monitor market.

This past May, LG Display’s 27-inch 540/720Hz (DFR) OLED panel, which features the world’s highest refresh rate, was honored with the “Display of the Year” award by the Society for Information Display (SID), the most prestigious organization in the field.

“Building on our experience in commercializing industry-leading performance products such as the 27-inch 540/720Hz (DFR) OLED, we will further strengthen our technological competitiveness in the gaming display market while securing core technologies for next-generation displays as a technology-driven company,” said Choi Young-seok, CTO at LG Display.

SEOUL, Korea (June 22, 2026) – LG Display, the world’s leading innovator of display technologies, announced today that its entire lineup of large-sized OLED panels, including for monitors and TVs, has become the first in the world to receive “Perfect Color/Brightness Accuracy up to 500 lux” certification from global testing and certification organization Intertek. This certification confirms that a display can accurately reproduce both color and brightness regardless of viewing conditions or content.

The certification is particularly meaningful as it quantitatively validates how accurately a display reproduces color and brightness. Previously, display quality had largely been assessed based on specifications such as color gamut or peak luminance, which have limitations in objectively verifying how closely a display reproduces real-world colors.

To address this, Intertek conducted comprehensive testing on OLED and LCD displays using a range of test patterns to measure variations in color and brightness, thereby objectively evaluating overall picture quality accuracy.

The test results revealed that LG Display’s OLED panels — featuring self-emissive pixels — simultaneously recorded 100% color accuracy, 100% brightness accuracy, and color crosstalk-free performance. Therefore, they deliver the creator’s intended color and brightness accurately, whatever the viewing environment or type of content. 100% color accuracy means consistent color reproduction regardless of test pattern size; 100% brightness accuracy refers to uniform brightness regardless of test pattern size; color crosstalk-free performance means no color interference between adjacent pixels, enabling precise color expression.

In contrast, LCD displays — which rely on backlight units larger than individual pixels — showed limitations when displaying high dynamic range (HDR) content such as starry night skies or fireworks, where brightness in highlighted areas can be diminished. In some premium LCD TVs using RGB LED backlights, color distortion was observed depending on the background colors.

These differences in picture quality accuracy stem from fundamental differences in light emission methods.

LCD-based displays control light by zones through a backlight, leading to light leakage into adjacent areas. This structural limitation means that even premium LCD panels exhibit color crosstalk and reduced accuracy in brightness and color reproduction.

LG Display’s OLED panels operate using pixel dimming technology, with millions of individual pixels emitting light independently. This self-emissive structure fundamentally eliminates light leakage and interference, enabling precise reproduction of both bright and dark elements, regardless of content size or scene conditions, and delivering a superior viewing experience.

Through this certification, LG Display aims to take the lead in global picture quality competition by quantifying the value of real-world viewing experiences perceived by consumers.

“LG Display’s OLED has now been objectively proven to deliver the most accurate color and brightness even in everyday viewing environments,” said Hyeon-woo Lee, Head of the Large Display Business Unit at LG Display. “We will continue to strengthen our market leadership by more clearly communicating the differentiated value of premium picture quality that only OLED can deliver to customers worldwide.”

SEOUL, Korea (June 2, 2026) – LG Display, the world’s leading innovator of display technologies, announced today that it has achieved Automotive SPICE (ASPICE) Capability Level 2 (CL2) from certification body C&BIS, strengthening its position as a technology-centered company as its display technology capabilities are recognized for software quality and reliability. 

The company achieved ASPICE certification by integrating its proprietary diagnostic and control functions into displays designed for automotive instrument clusters and center fascias. Through this certification, LG Display has demonstrated its capabilities in ensuring software quality and reliability as a key partner in automotive electronic systems.

ASPICE, which stands for Automotive-Software Process Improvement Capability dEtermination, is an international standard established by the automotive industry to evaluate the software development capabilities and reliability of suppliers. As the number of electronic control units (ECUs) installed in vehicles has recently increased sharply, even a single software defect can directly lead to a major accident or large-scale recall, making thorough management from the development stage essential for all related components. Accordingly, ASPICE evaluates whether systematic processes are established and operated across automotive software development as a whole.

The automotive industry is rapidly transitioning from a hardware-centric structure to the era of software-defined vehicles (SDVs). In line with this shift, the role of in-vehicle displays is also evolving beyond simple information display into an advanced software platform encompassing infotainment and vehicle control. 

Last December, LG Display became the first in the display industry to obtain ISO/SAE 21434, the international standard for automotive cybersecurity engineering. Securing ASPICE CL2 again highlights the differentiated competitiveness of the company’s automotive displays.

Building on this achievement, LG Display plans to enhance its competitiveness in securing new business, particularly in key markets such as North America. The company also aims to further strengthen strategic partnerships with customers as the automotive industry increasingly becomes software-driven.

“Reaching ASPICE CL2 validates that LG Display’s automotive displays deliver not only hardware excellence but also high-quality software capabilities,” said Keuk-sang Kwon, Head of the Auto Business Group at LG Display. “We will continue to reinforce our leadership in the automotive display market based on our differentiated proprietary technologies and advance as a technology-driven company that proactively delivers customer value.”
