LG present 144Hz IPS panel and a 60Hz IPS A-TW Polarizer 27inch panel and a 4K borderless 27inch IPS panel

[GoodBytes]

LG announces today a new 27inch panel 1920x1080 IPS panel, that can operate perfectly fine at true 144Hz refresh rate.

The panel model is the LM270WF8, and should start appearing in monitors from other manufactures.

The panel is 14ms G2G, while it sounds bad, it is actually good. This is the panel raw . Manufactures implement the overdrive circuit which should be able to drop it much more, possibly half, like other IPS panels, and TN panels. (I expect to be 6ms with the overdrive circuit like most IPS panels)

The not so good news is currently as we speak the monitor is only 1920x1080.

Of course, more sizes and resolution will be coming as time move on, but this is excellent news. Maybe by next years we should have higher resolution, and even faster.

Another panel is an IPS panel with a A-TW Polarizer. This is a process that panel manufacture stop implementing on IPS panels due to high cost required. But it looks like it can be done at a more affordable price for LG to make it at the consumer level. What this process does, is that it reduces the IPS glow effect on corners when looking the monitor on a black screen at angels. This panel is 2560x1440 27inch.

 

Of particular note is the new 27 " LM270WF8 panel going in to production in Q3 2015. This will be LG.Display's first high refresh rate IPS panel, following on from the success we've seen from AU Optronics' recent AHVA (IPS-type) offering. This panel will offer a 1920 x 1080 resolution, 14ms G2G response time (to be improved with overdrive circuits), 1000:1 contrast ratio, 300 cd/m2 brightness, sRGB gamut and 178/178 viewing angles. It has a target 144Hz refresh rate.

[...]

In the 27" space they continue to produce the LM270WQ3 IPS panel which we've seen for a while now. However, interestingly they now list an "A-TW Pol" option for this panel. It might be that we begin to see some 27" IPS displays at some point featuring low-glow panels which would be great news.

Another interesting panel is a 27inch 4K (3840x2160) 60Hz panel "bordeless"

There is also a new LM270WR3 IPS panel going in to production in Q3 which will offer a 3840 x 2160 resolution, 14ms G2G response time, 1000:1 contrast ratio, 300 cd/m2 brightness, sRGB gamut and 178/178 viewing angles. This will be a borderless "neoblade" design panel.

wut

 

first you say 2560 x 1440 and then you say 1920 x 1080?

[Glenwing]

:0 A-TW pols...Hopefully we will see this implemented... They did this last year with one panel (the panel used in U2414H had an optional A-TW twin variant) but unfortunately no one used it Glad to see LG pushing this though

My mistake, fixed.

Yeah there were several panels in the announcement:

 

23.8" 2560x1440 IPS 60Hz

27.0" 1920x1080 IPS 144Hz

27.0" 2560x1440 IPS 60Hz w/ A-TW polarizer

27.0" 3840x2160 IPS 60Hz

31.5" 5120x2880 IPS 60Hz

[Thony]

Isn't 27" little too big for 1080p ?

I would like LG to present 24", 1080p, IPS, 144hz for £300 !

[JAKEBAB]

I thought 3840x2160 was classed as 4k I don't understand why they are still making new 1080p monitors.

Yes you are correct. Sorry I was typing this in hurry, while at work waiting for the project to compile.

[Doobeedoo]

Can I just get 4K 144Hz Freesync AMOLED monitor, lol... ?!

[GoodBytes]

If DisplayPort would allow 144Hz at 4K, it may be possible for an IPS panel.

OLED technology has too many issues for desktop usage.

31.5" 5120x2880 IPS 60Hz

How many virgins do i have to sacrifice for 23.8" 2560x1440 144hz

Dont worry goodbytes bb i gotcha

No that's UHD and UHD != 4K, 4K is 4096  * 2160 while UHD is 3840 * 2160.

 

@GoodBytes ^^^^

Looks good and from the look of Glenwing drooling over A-TW polarizer I guess I have to look into what it means.

[JAKEBAB]

@GoodBytes ^^^^

That's cinematic 4k or DCI 4k hence why basically all TV manufactures are advertising 4k uhd on there Tvs.

But it's still not 4K is it ?? 

[JAKEBAB]

Yea I just think they have to include the uhd after it.

Edit: also if you look at the wiki for both 4k and uhd they both have 3840x2160 I know its super confusing and I think uhd should be called 3k etc but whatever lol

[NannerBeans]

But it's still not 4K is it ??

4k means 4x the pixels of 1080p so that means the length and width number of pixels will double so 4k is actually 2x1920 by 2x1080 so 4k is 3840 by 2160. Pretty sure uhd is just something TV makers made up as marketing for 4k.

Awaiting 4K OLED 144hz G-Sync. $4000 a pop on release.
