Gigabyte and Asus will launch the first monitors based on LG Display's new and improved RGB Tandem WOLED panel.
As reported exclusively by FlatpanelsHD in March, the first 'Primary RGB Tandem' WOLED – also referred to as 4-stack and 4th gen OLED – monitor panel will be a 27-inch variant.
It will be brighter, more colorful and more energy-efficient. You can learn more about it here. The panel is LG Display's answer to Samsung Display’s latest QD-OLED, which currently dominates the OLED monitor market.
First monitor from Gigabyte
At the Computex show in Taipei this week, Gigabyte officially unveiled the MO27Q28G, a 27-inch OLED monitor featuring the new panel.
It supports a 280Hz refresh rate, slightly above LG Display’s specified 240Hz, likely through firmware tweaks or overclocking. It also features 1500 nits peak brightness, both FreeSync and G-Sync, and is certified for DisplayHDR True Black 500.
Gigabyte told TFTCentral to it in July or August with a promotional launch price of $500 – cheaper than anticipated.

Asus also has plans
Asus has confirmed to TFTCentral that it too plans to release a monitor based on the RGB Tandem panel later in 2025. No further details were provided, but more information is expected soon – perhaps at Gamescom in August.
We still speculate that it could be the 540Hz OLED monitor Asus announced earlier this week. LG Display lists the panel as "240Hz / 480Hz", and clearly Gigabyte has managed to slightly overclock it. We'll see. Update: Asus has confirmed that its 540Hz monitor will indeed have the RGB Tandem panel.
LG Display has told FlatpanelsHD that RGB Tandem will gradually expand to additional monitor sizes. The technology is already in use in TVs.
With at least two RGB Tandem OLED monitors expected to launch to take on next-gen QD-OLED monitors, and TCL possibly introducing printed RGB OLED, 2025 is shaping up to be another exciting year for the OLED monitor market.
