The 2025 lineup is led by the UltraGear OLED Bendable Gaming Monitor, which LG claims is the worlds first 5K2K-resolution bendable OLED display. That strikes me as extremely specific, but hey, its always worth bragging when youre first, I suppose. The 45-inch monitor has an expansive resolution of 5120x2160, so youre 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 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 youre not immersed in gameplay.The UltraGear OLED Bendable Gaming Monitor (model 45GX990A) can transition from completelyflat to a 900R curvature, and the latest version of LGs Dual-Mode feature allows users to switch effortlessly between resolution and refresh rate presets, and customize theaspect ratio and picture size. Its certified for Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, but the press materials dont specify a maximum refresh rate. Ive asked for more details there.Both 45-inch monitors have a 5K2K resolution of 5120x2160. Image: LGLG is also releasing a non-bendable model with a permanent 800R curve. Otherwise, its the same 45-inch size, same aspect ratio, and same 5K2K resolution. LGs 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 LGs TVs. It seems like the company has taken some cues from Samsungs smart monitors here. At 39 inches, this ones 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 LGs ergonomic and space-saving L-shaped stand for a clutter-free desk setup, LG said in tonights press release.As per usual with CES news, pricing and a specific release date are still to come later in 2025. But well 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.Most PopularMost Popular
