LG Launches Revolutionary Bendable 5K2K Gaming Monitor: Dual Mode and DP 2.1 Redefine Your Playtime!

LG Electronics (LG) is strengthening its dominance in premium OLED gaming displays with the LG UltraGear GX9 range, which will be launched at CES 2025 this January. The fresh lineup features the 45GX990A – recipient of three CES 2025 Innovation Awards, including the esteemed ‘Best of Innovation’ – alongside an all-in-one smart gaming monitor driven by LG webOS. These recognitions highlight LG’s dedication to providing innovative, high-quality gaming offerings. With the GX9 series, LG continues to showcase its expertise in cutting-edge technology and innovation in gaming displays.

To facilitate maximum gaming immersion, every UltraGear GX9 series model is equipped with curved display panels utilizing LG’s sophisticated WOLED technology. These panels provide high brightness, true blacks, vibrant colors, and optimized curvature; a combination that animates games and pulls users deeper into the thrilling action of their favorite titles. Certified for reduced blue light emissions, the GX9 series promotes a more comfortable experience, alleviating eye fatigue during extended gaming periods. Additionally, LG’s Anti-Glare & Low Reflection (AGLR) coating lessens screen reflections and glare, aiding gamers in clearly observing all on-screen happenings, even in well-lit environments.

The 45GX990A and 45GX950A are 45-inch, 21:9 gaming displays boasting ultra-high 5K2K resolution (5,120 x 2,160) – a first among OLED monitors.* Their 21:9 aspect ratio offers a more immersive gaming encounter compared to standard 16:9 displays, while ensuring improved content compatibility over 32:9 monitors. With ample screen real estate, these displays are excellent not only for gaming but for various other applications.

Both devices incorporate LG’s second-generation Dual-Mode, providing customizable aspect ratios (21:9 or 16:9) and display sizes (39-, 34- or 27-inches) with one-touch toggling between preset screen-resolution and refresh-rate combinations. With eight configurations, users can tailor their gaming setups to match their preferences or adjust to different game genres, such as FPS, RPG, MOBA, and racing simulations.

The World’s First Bendable 5K2K Gaming Monitor with Dual-Mode

The LG UltraGear OLED Bendable Gaming Monitor (model 45GX990A) is the first 5K2K-resolution bendable OLED screen globally. The 45-inch display can seamlessly switch from entirely flat to a 900R curvature in mere seconds, providing users remarkable versatility and greater command over their gaming experience. Its upgraded Dual-Mode feature enables users to effortlessly alternate between resolution and refresh rate presets, and tailor the aspect ratio and image size. With an ultra-fast 0.03 ms (GtG) response time, the 45GX990A guarantees fluid gameplay and enhanced immersion.

The World’s First 45-Inch 5K2K OLED Gaming Monitor with 800R Curvature and DisplayPort 2.1

Another standout model from the new GX9 range is the LG UltraGear OLED Gaming Monitor (model 45GX950A). With its curved (800R), 21:9 format 5K2K-resolution self-lit 45-inch panel, this display presents clear, vivid images with the remarkable colors and outstanding contrast characteristic of LG OLED products. Its virtually borderless design on all four sides and sleek bezels enhance users’ sense of immersion while contributing to a sophisticated look for any setup. Featuring 125 pixels per inch (PPI) and an RGWB subpixel layout, the monitor enhances the legibility of in-game text and eases productivity tasks, such as document editing or web content creation.

Similar to its bendable counterpart, the 45GX950A incorporates Dual-Mode capabilities with eight customizable configurations and supports DisplayPort 2.1, HDMI 2.1, and USB-C with 90 W power delivery. This ensures seamless compatibility with the latest graphics cards and features such as variable refresh rate (VRR) while enabling convenient device charging. Endorsed by NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, the monitor minimizes screen tearing for a more enjoyable, responsive gaming experience.

Versatile Smart Gaming Monitor for Uninterrupted Streaming and Immersive Gaming

The new LG UltraGear 39GX90SA is engineered to provide exceptional gaming and content-streaming experiences. Powered by webOS, it functions as a home entertainment center, allowing users to access all their favorite streaming platforms without the need for a PC or set-top box. Its 39-inch, 21:9 aspect ratio curved (800R) OLED display produces brilliant, nuanced colors and deep, dark blacks, making it ideal for AAA games and HDR movies and series. Featuring USB Type-C ports, it ensures convenient connectivity, and integrates LG’s ergonomic and space-conserving L-shaped stand for a neat desk arrangement.
