At CES 2026, LG Display is set to unveil several new OLED gaming monitors, including one with a blazing fast 720Hz refresh rate. At the same time, these new gaming monitors will also feature its Primary RGB Tandem 2.0 tech.

LG’s new 27-inch OLED gaming monitor features one of the fastest Gaming OLED panels currently available. By refreshing its picture 720 times per second, this new display will be ideal for competitive gaming, especially since it also has a response time of up to 0.02ms.

By combining such a high refresh rate with an ultra fast response time, LG’s new gaming monitor will completely eliminate motion blur even during high-paced scenes and rapid transitions.

Alongside this new monitor, LG will also debut the world’s first 39-inch 5K2K Gaming OLED panel at this year’s show. The company is currently the only manufacturer that makes 39-inch OLED panels and these curved displays with a 21:9 aspect ratio and 1500R curvature are quite useful for video editors and other content creators.

On the show floor, LG will also be showing off the world’s first OLED panel with a 240Hz RGB pixel stripe structure. With 160 pixels per inch, it’s able to perfectly display sharp text with excellent color representation.

In addition to all of these new OLED gaming monitors, LG Display will also be showcasing its new TANDEM WOLED tech, Primary RGB Tandem 2.0, at CES 2026.

First unveiled last year, Primary RGB Tandem is an OLED stack structure where each of the primary colors of light (red, green and blue) is formed as an independent emission layer. Now with Primary RGB Tandem 2.0 though, the pixel structure is now even more optimized with advanced algorithms.

As a result of these new innovations, LG’s Gaming OLED panels can achieve a peak brightness of up to 1,500 nits, all while delivering perfect blacks with HDR True Black 500 and reproducing 99.5% of the DIC color gamut.

All of LG’s new OLED gaming monitors will all feature Primary RGB Tandem 2.0 and we can’t wait to try them out for ourselves at CES 2026.

LG OLED gaming monitors: Outlook

We were very impressed by LG Display’s new monitors at CES last year and these new offerings have us just as excited. Given that gaming monitors just keep getting faster, I don’t think LG will have the only 720Hz one on display at this year’s show. However, thanks to all of these other advancements, it may be the best looking one.

Last year, we saw a bendable 5K2K gaming monitor from LG. While that one was 45-inches and quite expensive, hopefully this new, smaller 39-inch one won’t carry as premium of a price tag.

If you’re thinking about picking up one of the best gaming monitors, you might want to hold off as there will be plenty of new models from LG and others joining their ranks soon enough. Stay tuned to Tom’s Guide for all the latest on CES 2026 and we’ll be on the ground floor taking in everything first hand soon enough.
