LG’s 27-inch OLED monitor could debut at CES 2023
>
LG is reportedly looking at an early 2023 release for a 27-inch OLED monitor.
Sources recently told the Korean newspaper Hankooki (opens in new tab) LG Display, the panel-manufacturing sister company of LG Electronics, expects to begin production of 27-inch and 32-inch OLED panels by the end of 2022, with the first set to be ready as early as November.
LG therefore expects to be able to use these 27-inch panels in a new medium-sized monitor that will be released in the first quarter of 2023. The smallest LG OLED monitor currently available is the 27-inch LG UltraFine Display OLED Pro, although it comes with panels from Japan’s JOLED, rather than LG Display.
At present, the LG C2 OLED TV, which is 42 inches in size, is the smallest LG product-carrying panels produced by LG Display.
LG Display’s upcoming 32-inch OLED panels are expected to debut early next year shortly after the 27-inch panels, while production of the 42-inch OLED panels – of the kind used in the LG C2 – is set to expected to increase in the future. next months.
LG is responsible for some of the best OLED TVs out there, but gamers and stay-at-home moms have been clamoring for a mid-sized LG OLED monitor for a while now. Demand for high-quality personal displays has risen since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic as consumers continue to look for upgrades to their home offices and entertainment setups in light of work-from-home regulations.
LG Display vice president Kang Won-Seok teased the imminent release of a 20-inch OLED panel in August 2022, but no such LG monitor has appeared in the months since.
So it’s promising to hear that LG is indeed cooking up a mid-sized OLED monitor for release in early 2023. If Hankooki’s report is true, we expect to see this new 27-inch display in some capacity at CES 2023 in January. .
