Panel26.5-inch OLED, 4th-generation Primary RGB Tandem; 2560 × 1440 (QHD), 0.2292 mm pixel pitch

In a tandem structure light comes from more than one OLED layer; LG associates this with higher brightness and lifetime.

LG		49-inch QD-OLED; 5120 × 1440 (DQHD), 32:9; 1800R curve

The 32:9 ratio gives a workspace equivalent to two 27-inch 1440p monitors side by side. The 1800R curve keeps the edges closer to the eyes.

Refresh and response280 Hz; 0.03 ms (GtG) LG144 Hz (adaptive range 48–144 Hz); 0.03 ms (GtG)

Adaptive sync prevents tearing while the frame rate stays between 48 and 144. Reaching 144 fps at full resolution needs a very powerful graphics card.

MSI
BrightnessTypical 335 cd/m², minimum 300 cd/m²; up to 1500 nits peak according to LG

The peak value applies to a small part of the screen in HDR content; brightness on a full white screen is much lower.
