To ensure maximum gaming immersion, all UltraGear GX9 series models feature curved display panels employing LG's advanced WOLED technology. These screens offer high brightness, true blacks, stunning colors and optimized curvature; a combination that brings games to life and draws users deeper into the exhilarating action of their favorite titles.
Certified for low blue light emissions, the GX9 series provides a more comfortable experience, reducing eye strain during extended gaming sessions. In addition, LG's Anti-Glare & Low Reflection (AGLR) coating minimizes screen reflections and glare, making it easier for gamers to see everything that's happening on screen, even in brighter rooms.
The 45GX990A and 45GX950A are 45-inch, 21:9 gaming monitors featuring ultra-high 5K2K resolution (5,120 x 2,160) - a first for OLED monitors.1 Their 21:9 aspect ratio offers a more immersive gaming experience than standard 16:9 displays, while maintaining better content compatibility than 32:9 monitors. With generous screen real estate, these monitors are a great choice not only for gaming but for various different uses.
Both products feature LG's second-generation Dual-Mode, offering customizable aspect ratios (21:9 or 16:9) and picture sizes (39-, 34-, or 27-inches) with one-touch switching between preset screen-resolution and refresh-rate combos. With eight configurations, users can personalize their gaming setups to suit their preferences or adapt to different game genres, including FPS, RPG, MOBA and racing simulators.
The world's first foldable 5K2K gaming monitor with dual mode
The LG UltraGear OLED Bendable Gaming Monitor (model 45GX990A) is the world's first foldable OLED display with 5K2K resolution. The 45-inch monitor can seamlessly transition from a completely flat position to a 900R curvature in a matter of seconds, offering users incredible flexibility and greater control over their gaming experience.
Its enhanced Dual-Mode function allows users to effortlessly switch between resolution and refresh rate presets, and customize the aspect ratio and image size. With an ultra-fast response time of 0.03 ms (GtG), the 45GX990A ensures smooth gaming and increased immersion.
First 45-inch 5K2K OLED Gaming Monitor
Another notable model from the new GX9 range is the LG UltraGear OLED Gaming monitor (model 45GX950A). With its 45-inch curved panel (800R), 21:9 format, and self-illuminated 5K2K resolution, this display offers sharp and realistic images with the stunning colors and exceptional contrast for which LG's OLED products are known.
Its 4-sided Virtually Borderless design and thin bezels help heighten users' sense of immersion, while adding a sleek aesthetic to any setup. With 125 pixels per inch (PPI) and an RGWB subpixel arrangement, the monitor enhances text readability in games and facilitates productivity tasks such as document editing or website content.
Just like its folding brother, the 45GX950A features Dual-Mode functionality with eight customizable settings and is compatible with DisplayPort 2.1, HDMI 2.1, and USB-C with a 90W power supply.
This guarantees perfect compatibility with the latest graphic cards and features such as variable refresh rate (VRR), while allowing comfortable device charging. Certified by NVIDIA G-SYNC® and AMD FreeSyncu2122 Premium Pro, the monitor has reduced screen tearing to provide a smoother and more responsive gaming experience.
Versatile Smart Monitor for Immersive Gaming
The new LG UltraGear 39GX90SA is designed to deliver stellar gaming and content streaming experiences. Equipped with webOS, it functions as a home entertainment center, allowing users to access all their streaming services without the need for a PC or set-top box. Its 39-inch curved OLED display (800R) with a 21:9 aspect ratio produces bright and nuanced colors and deep, dark blacks, making it perfect for AAA games and HDR movies and series. Equipped with USB Type-C ports, it offers convenient connectivity and incorporates the LG-designed L-shaped ergonomic stand, which saves space for a clutter-free desktop setup.
"The UltraGear GX9 series sets a new standard in OLED gaming monitors, combining innovative display technology with intelligent features that enhance and expand the user experience," says YS Lee, Vice President and Head of IT Business Unit at LG Media Entertainment Solution Company. "From the world's first 5K2K OLED gaming monitors with second-generation Dual-Mode to smart gaming monitors with integrated webOS, the GX9 line pushes the boundaries to deliver maximum value and enjoyment to our customers."
