LG Electronics has strengthened its position in the premium OLED gaming monitor market by introducing the LG UltraGear™ GX9 series at CES 2025. This new lineup features the award-winning 45GX990A, which received three CES 2025 Innovation Awards, including the prestigious “Best of Innovation,” and an innovative all-in-one smart gaming monitor powered by LG webOS. These accolades highlight LG’s dedication to providing cutting-edge and high-quality gaming solutions.
Immersive Gaming Experience with Advanced WOLED Technology:
All models within the UltraGear GX9 series utilize curved display panels featuring LG’s advanced OLED technology. This technology delivers high brightness levels, true blacks, vibrant colours, and optimized curvature, creating a highly immersive gaming experience. The displays are also certified for low blue light emissions, reducing eye strain during extended gaming sessions. LG’s Anti-Glare & Low Reflection (AGLR) coating further enhances visibility by minimizing screen reflections and glare, even in well-lit environments.
45GX990A and 45GX950A: Pioneering 5K2K OLED Gaming:
The 45GX990A and 45GX950A are 45-inch, 21:9 gaming monitors boasting ultra-high 5K2K resolution (5,120 x 2,160), a first for OLED monitors. The 21:9 aspect ratio offers a wider field of view than standard 16:9 displays, enhancing immersion while maintaining better content compatibility than ultra-wide 32:9 monitors. This generous screen real estate makes these monitors suitable not only for gaming but also for various productivity tasks.
Both models feature LG’s second-generation Dual-Mode functionality, allowing users to customize the aspect ratio (21:9 or 16:9) and picture size (39, 34, or 27 inches) with one-touch switching between preset screen resolution and refresh rate combinations. This provides eight different configurations, enabling users to personalize their gaming setups for different game genres, such as FPS, RPG, MOBA, and racing simulators.
45GX990A: The World’s First Bendable 5K2K Gaming Monitor:
The LG UltraGear OLED Bendable Gaming Monitor (model 45GX990A) stands out as the world’s first 5K2K-resolution bendable OLED display. The 45-inch monitor can seamlessly transition from a flat surface to a 900R curvature in seconds, offering users unprecedented flexibility and control over their viewing experience. The upgraded Dual-Mode feature allows for effortless switching between resolution and refresh rate presets, along with customization of aspect ratio and picture size. With an ultra-fast 0.03ms (GtG) response time, the 45GX990A ensures smooth and responsive gameplay.
45GX950A: 5K2K OLED with 800R Curvature and DisplayPort 2.1:
The LG UltraGear OLED Gaming Monitor (model 45GX950A) is another highlight of the GX9 lineup. This monitor features a curved (800R), 21:9 format, 5K2K resolution, self-lit 45-inch OLED panel. It delivers sharp, lifelike images with exceptional colours and contrast, characteristic of LG’s OLED technology. The 4-side Virtually Borderless design and slim bezels enhance immersion and add a sleek aesthetic. With 125 pixels per inch (PPI) and an RGWB subpixel layout, the monitor improves text readability, making it suitable for productivity tasks like document editing and web browsing.
Similar to the bendable model, the 45GX950A offers Dual-Mode functionality with eight customizable configurations and supports DisplayPort 2.1, HDMI 2.1, and USB-C with 90W power delivery. This ensures compatibility with the latest graphics cards and features like variable refresh rate (VRR) while also enabling convenient device charging. The monitor is certified by NVIDIA G-SYNC® and AMD FreeSync™ Premium Pro, further enhancing gaming performance by reducing screen tearing.
39GX90SA: A Versatile Smart Gaming Monitor:
The LG UltraGear 39GX90SA is designed for both gaming and content streaming. Powered by webOS, it functions as a standalone home entertainment hub, providing access to streaming services without requiring a PC or set-top box. Its 39-inch, 21:9 aspect ratio curved (800R) OLED display delivers vibrant colours and deep blacks, making it suitable for both AAA games and HDR movies and series. USB Type-C ports offer convenient connectivity, and LG’s ergonomic L-shaped stand promotes a clutter-free desk setup.
YS Lee, vice president and head of the IT Business Unit at LG Media Entertainment Solution Company, emphasized that the UltraGear GX9 series sets a new standard for OLED gaming monitors, combining groundbreaking display technology with smart features to enhance the user experience. He highlighted the world’s first 5K2K OLED gaming monitors with second-generation Dual-Mode and smart gaming monitors with built-in webOS as key innovations that deliver maximum value and enjoyment for customers.
