Hardware roundup: LG Cracks 720Hz OLED Without Cutting Resolution

LG says its new esports OLED panel hits 720Hz without dropping resolution. This roundup also covers AOC's brighter Tandem 2.0 panel and Corsair's refreshed AIO coolers.

LG Display says it has begun mass production of a 24.5-inch OLED gaming panel that hits 720Hz, and it does so at the panel's full 1920×1080 resolution rather than dropping down to get there. That distinction matters: high-refresh OLED panels have historically had to trade resolution for frame rate, and LG credits a proprietary driving algorithm for holding both at once. ASUS gets first use of it in the upcoming ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace, which has also been picked as the official monitor for the PGL CS2 Major in Singapore this year.

The panel uses LG's Tandem WOLED design and claims a 0.02ms gray-to-gray response time, a manufacturer figure that still needs independent testing once a finished monitor ships. Pricing and availability haven't been announced. The 720Hz ceiling is a niche target since few games or systems sustain frame rates anywhere near it, but it sets a new mark for the format and gives competitive players another rung above the 480Hz and 540Hz OLED panels already on the market.

AOC is moving to a newer LG Display panel of its own. The Agon Pro AGP327UZD 2026 swaps last year's third-generation WOLED for LG's four-layer stacked Tandem 2.0 design, first spotted in a listing on DisplaySpecifications rather than an AOC announcement, so treat the exact ship date as unconfirmed. The 32-inch panel keeps its dual-mode trick of 4K at 240Hz or FHD at 480Hz, but AOC lists real gains behind it: 350 nits typical brightness, 1,500 nits peak HDR, a 1.85 million-to-1 contrast ratio, and VESA DisplayHDR 500 certification, up from the outgoing panel.

Color coverage reaches 100% sRGB and 99.5% DCI-P3 with factory-calibrated accuracy, and connectivity includes DisplayPort 2.1 at the full 80Gbps UHBR20 bandwidth alongside a 65W USB-C port.

Corsair's news is more straightforward: a full refresh of its all-in-one CPU coolers and case fans. The Nautilus II lineup keeps the same FlowDrive 2S pump and a thinner, AMD-optimized cold plate across every model, with the headline unit, the Nautilus II RS LCD, adding a 3.5-inch IPS display on the pump block that can run as a secondary Windows display or show custom iCUE animations and system stats. The RS and RS ARGB variants use the same internals without the screen.

Corsair is pairing the coolers with new RS II fans in 120mm and 140mm sizes, plus a 360mm Unified Frame that mounts with four screws, all sharing the AirGuide frame design and Magnetic Dome Bearings from Corsair's existing fan lineup. UK pricing starts at £74.99 for the 240mm Nautilus II RS and runs to £129.99 for the 360mm RS LCD; RS II fans start at £9.99.
