LG has announced the release of a Dual-Hz OLED monitor with 4K 240Hz and FullHD 480Hz modes.
LG has revealed the UltraGear OLED gaming monitors that will be on display at CES 2024. The new 32GS95UE, in particular, has an intriguing trick up its sleeve.
LG calls the 32-inch 32GS95UE’s display Dual-Hz. This enables the monitor to switch between two modes: one in which it runs the display at its native 4K (3840×2160) resolution at a maximum refresh rate of 240Hz, and another in which it runs it at a reduced FullHD (1920×1080) resolution but at the panel’s maximum 480Hz refresh rate.
The user can easily switch between these modes by using a hotkey or the monitor’s joystick. When you change modes, the system should recognize the display as 4K 240Hz or 1080p 480Hz and scale accordingly. It appears that the panel is artificially limited to 240Hz at 4K, but no current display standards allow you to access the full 480Hz at 4K.
In addition, the 32GS95UE has 98.5% DCI-P3 coverage, 0.03ms GtG response times, DisplayHDR True Black 400 support, and dual HDMI 2.1 ports. Unfortunately, the single DisplayPort is only rated at 1.4, rather than the new DisplayPort 2.1, so you’ll have to rely heavily on Display Stream Compression (DSC) to access the full resolution and refresh rate.
LG also announced five other OLED monitors, including the 34-inch and 39-inch 34GS95QE and 39GS95QE, which have curved 3440×1440 panels with 240Hz refresh rate, 800R curvature, and similar connectivity to the 32GS95UE.
The 45GS95QE and 45GS96QB are both 45-inch 3440×1440 240Hz curved OLED monitors with the only difference being that the 45GS96QB has built-in speakers and USB-C 65W charging. Finally, the 27GS95QE has a 27-inch 2560×1440 240Hz flat panel and features similar to the previous models. Pricing and availability will be revealed at or after CES.
