Higher refresh rates in gaming monitors are linked to improved real-world game performance, LG Display said on Wednesday, citing results from a performance experiment it presented at an international academic conference. In a blind test of 31 adult gamers, hit scores in a first-person shooter improved 38 percent at 480Hz compared with 60Hz, and rose 10 percent versus 240Hz. Participants also reported higher satisfaction, citing smoother screen transitions and easier target tracking. Input lag fell by more than 10 milliseconds at 480Hz versus 60Hz.

LG Electronics is launching its 'LG Professional' large-capacity commercial laundry appliances to strengthen its push into the global B2B market. The company said it will begin sales in Europe this month and then roll out the products sequentially in key markets including Asia and North America. The lineup includes six models, such as 30, 25 and 20 kg washers and 30 and 25 kg dryers, using AI-based technology to improve performance and energy efficiency.
