LG Display Reveals Experimental Study Results on Gaming OLED Performance
A blind test of 31 gamers found 480Hz monitors lifted hit scores 38% and cut input lag by more than 10 milliseconds, LG Display said.
- On Wednesday, LG Display announced a study showing that higher refresh rates on gaming monitors improve players' real-time performance in first-person shooter games, enhancing reaction speed and object recognition in dynamic scenes.
- Researchers conducted a blind test involving 31 adult gamers playing first-person shooters at four refresh rates—60Hz, 240Hz, 360Hz, and 480Hz—measuring quantitative metrics like hit scores and qualitative ratings on screen smoothness and target tracking.
- Hit scores improved 38 percent at 480Hz compared with 60Hz, while input lag measured more than 10 milliseconds lower at the higher rate, with a 10 percent gain observed between 240Hz and 480Hz alone.
- Participants reported that higher refresh rates made it easier to track moving targets, as OLED displays reduced motion blur and input lag, providing a competitive advantage in gaming environments where split-second accuracy determines outcomes.
- Building on these findings, CTO Choi Young-seok plans to strengthen the Gaming OLED lineup, following the company's recent 'Display of the Year' award from the Society for Information Display for its 27-inch 540/720Hz OLED panel.
