LG Display Shows 480Hz OLED Gaming Monitors Boost Hit Rates by 38%
LPL•LG Display's experimental study found FPS gamers' hit rates increased 38% at 480Hz versus 60Hz and 10% above 240Hz, while input lag dropped over 10 milliseconds. The company plans to expand its high-refresh-rate Gaming OLED lineup to leverage these gains and reinforce its market leadership.
1. Experimental Study Setup
LG Display tested 31 adult gamers across 60Hz, 240Hz, 360Hz and 480Hz refresh rates in randomized FPS gaming trials, measuring hit scores and event interval times alongside subjective smoothness and tracking ease.
2. Performance Metrics
Hit rates improved by 38% at 480Hz versus 60Hz, with an additional 10% gain over 240Hz, indicating consistent scaling of reaction speed and accuracy as refresh rates increased.
3. OLED Input Lag Benefits
Higher refresh rate OLED panels reduced input lag by over 10 milliseconds at 480Hz compared to 60Hz, significantly cutting motion blur and enhancing target detection in fast-paced gaming scenes.
4. Strategy and Roadmap
Leveraging these findings, LG Display will broaden its high-refresh-rate Gaming OLED portfolio, building on its award-winning 540/720Hz panel to strengthen competitiveness and capture growing demand in the gaming monitor market.
