    This tracker logs 720Hz gaming monitors as they are announced, priced and reviewed. ContentLora has not tested any of them. Specs come from manufacturers and prices from published reports, and performance findings are attributed to independent reviewers.

    Two kinds of 720Hz

    The first wave of “720Hz” monitors uses a 27-inch 2560x1440 RGB Tandem OLED panel. It runs at 540Hz at full resolution and switches to 720Hz at 1280x720.[1] The second kind is LG Display’s 24.5-inch panel, which it says runs at 720Hz at native 1920x1080.[3] Reviewers stress the difference: the 27-inch models reach 720Hz only by dropping below their native resolution.[5]

    Why the esports focus

    LG Display says esports monitors are mainly 24-inch because players can see the whole screen at a glance.[11] Hardware Busters notes that this segment had been almost entirely TN and IPS LCD before OLED.[12] The PG259QWS Ace will be the stage monitor for the PGL CS2 Major Singapore, from 24 November to 13 December 2026, the first Counter-Strike Major played on OLED.[13]

    What to watch next

    The PG259QWS Ace’s retail availability before year-end is the next milestone.[14] LG Display says it plans gaming OLED panels from 20 to 40 inches.[15] For whether these refresh rates help players, see Do 480Hz and 720Hz monitors matter?.
