LG isn’t waiting until CES begins to reveal its new collection of gaming monitors.
The 2025 lineup is led by the UltraGear OLED Bendable Gaming Monitor, which LG
claims is the “world’s first 5K2K-resolution bendable OLED display.” That strikes

me as extremely specific, but hey, it’s always worth bragging when you’re first, I
suppose. The 45-inch monitor has an expansive resolution of 5120x2160, so you’re
getting the same vertical pixel count as a typical 4K screen but a much wider canvas
to game on.

And with a 21:9 aspect ratio, LG believes it provides “a more immersive gaming
experience than standard 16:9 displays, while maintaining better content
compatibility than 32:9 monitors.” This format also makes the display a great fit for
productivity work when you’re not immersed in gameplay.
The UltraGear OLED Bendable Gaming Monitor (model 45GX990A) can transition
from completely flat to a 900R curvature, and the latest version of LG’s Dual-Mode
feature “allows users to switch effortlessly between resolution and refresh rate
presets, and customize the aspect ratio and picture size.” It’s certified for Nvidia G-
Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, but the press materials don’t specify a
maximum refresh rate. I’ve asked for more details there.

LG is also releasing a non-bendable model with a permanent 800R curve.
Otherwise, it’s the same 45-inch size, same aspect ratio, and same 5K2K resolution.
LG’s press release says you can expect “sharp, lifelike images with the stunning
colors and exceptional contrast LG OLED products are known for.” Shared specs
between both monitors include a 0.03ms (GtG) response time and support for
DisplayPort 2.1, HDMI 2.1, and USB-C with 90W power delivery. The 45GX950A
uses a RGWB subpixel layout to improve readability of text on the screen and make
the aforementioned productivity work easier on your eyes.
Along with these two monitors, LG is also introducing the curved UltraGear
39GX90SA, a webOS-powered “home entertainment hub” with easy access to
streaming services — just like LG’s TVs. It seems like the company has taken some
cues from Samsung’s smart monitors here. At 39 inches, this one’s a bit smaller
than the other GX9 displays, but it retains the 21:9 aspect ratio and 800R curve.
“Equipped with USB Type-C ports, it offers convenient connectivity, and
incorporates LG’s ergonomic and space-saving L-shaped stand for a clutter-free
desk setup,” LG said in tonight’s press release.

As per usual with CES news, pricing and a specific release date are still to come
later in 2025. But we’ll be getting our first in-person look at the UltraGear GX9
series in Las Vegas, so stay tuned for impressions early next month — along with an
avalanche of stunning screens from many other companies, too.
