SEOUL, May 11, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- LG Display, the world's leading innovator of
display technologies, unveiled its original research results on the
ergonomic requirements of gaming displays, providing further
evidence that OLED is the optimal gaming display. The research was
introduced during the 2022 SID Business Conference at Display
Week in San Jose,
California.
With demand for gaming displays surging since the onset of
the pandemic, this move aims to establish new and reliable
standards that can objectively judge the performance of gaming
displays from the perspective of consumers.
For the study, LG Display tested a handful of gamers to discover
which display conditions provide the best gaming experiences. The
players tested games of different genres on a wide spectrum of
displays, from OLED and LCDs to flat and curved form factors. The
study results show that a gamer's reaction time can be improved by
using OLED, while a display's curvature provides a more immersive
gaming experience.
Reaction time is the time it takes for the user to recognize the
input signal on the screen and then react to it by clicking their
mouse or keyboard. Because a shorter reaction time increases the
player's chances of winning, it is widely considered one of the
most important factors when choosing a display. Study results
reveal that an OLED's average reaction time was 50 milliseconds
(ms) faster than an LCD. "Considering the gamer uses a special
mouse or keyboard for gaming which usually provides speed advantage
of 10 to 20ms, 50ms is critical in determining a game's outcome,"
said Dr. Jang Jin Yoo, Research
Fellow and the head researcher of the study at LG Display.
Curvature, which refers to the display's degree of curve, is
another determinant factor of a gaming display's performance. The
research study shows that 800R was selected as the display
curvature to deliver the most immersive playing experience,
although less curved screens performed slightly better for specific
sports games. The curvature of today's gaming monitor screen ranges
from 1800R to 4000R, while the study found out that the optimal
viewing distance from the monitor display and the person for gaming
is around 800mm. This suggests that gamers are missing
out on the optimal curvature, and therefore the ultimate gaming
experience, too.
"Given its flexible nature, OLED can maximize a display's degree
of curve to the highest level, which is impossible on an LCD," said
Chang-han Kim, Vice President and Head of Gaming Display Business
Division at LG Display. "Finding out that the optimal curvature for
gaming is 800R was definitely an exciting discovery for us."
With its leading reputation for introducing the world's first
Rollable OLED TV in 2018, LG Display has now set its sights on
developing game-changing displays that bring the next-level
immersion gamers crave. The company is backing its recent studies,
which identified a bendable display as the ideal gaming monitor, by
developing a Bendable OLED display that leverages its flexible
nature to safely bend from curved to straight on command while
maintaining unmatched picture quality.
"Bendable OLED display will be one of the most fun gaming
devices that gamers will find in the market," remarked Kim. "We
will continue to expand our gaming OLED lineup to offer new and
exciting gaming experiences for our customers."
LG Display is developing gaming-exclusive OLED panels with
unique and distinctive form factors which shift between curved and
flat states, and plans to collaborate with major global gaming
brands to release the most innovative gaming displays in the
future.
Globally renowned for its excellent performance, OLED is
considered the perfect choice for console or high-end PC games. It
also boasts outstanding three-dimensional image quality across an
infinite contrast ratio, the fastest response time, and a wide
variable refresh rate that ranges from 40 Hz to 240 Hz.
Another crucial aspect of gaming performance is eye health. LG
Display's OLED displays boast the lowest blue light level in
the industry, emitting 60% less than that of premium LCD displays
of the same size. The OLED's exceptionally low blue light allows
players to enjoy longer, flicker-free gaming experiences without
side effects such as eye fatigue or headaches.
