LG Announces New Releases in Its UltraGear GX9 OLED Gaming Monitor Family, Including a 45-Inch Curvable Screen and a 39-Inch AI-Powered Screen
South Korean company LG has unveiled new additions to its UltraGear GX9 OLED gaming monitor family, including a 45-inch curvable screen and a 39-inch AI-powered screen. These new monitors offer cutting-edge technology tailored for gaming enthusiasts and content creators alike.
The 45-Inch Curvable Screen
The UltraGear 45GX990A features a 5K2K resolution (5120×2160 pixels), making it the first 5K OLED monitor to hit the market, specifically targeting the gaming sector. Typically, such high-resolution monitors are aimed at content creators, like Apple’s Studio Display, according to an official statement.
- Pixel Density: 125 pixels per inch (PPI).
- Curvability: The screen can transform from completely flat to a 900R curvature in just a few seconds.
- What is 900R? In curved monitors, the “R” refers to the radius of curvature, and the number (e.g., 900R) indicates the radius in millimeters of the imaginary circle formed by the curve. A lower number means a sharper curve, so a 900R curvature is more pronounced than, say, 1800R.
- Why Curvature Matters: It enhances immersion and comfort during viewing.
This curvable feature has been seen in larger screens before, such as Corsair’s Xeneon Flex (2022) and LG’s OLED Flex (2023). However, LG’s new 45-inch monitor stands out with its large size and 5K resolution.
Additionally, LG has updated its Dual Mode feature, allowing users to switch between two resolutions depending on the content or games being played.
For those who prefer a non-curvable option, LG will also offer the UltraGear 45GX950A, which includes all the features of the new monitor but without the curving capability.
The 39-Inch Smart Screen
LG also announced the UltraGear 39GX90SA, a 39-inch smart monitor powered by webOS, the operating system used in LG’s smart TVs. This means the monitor can function fully without needing to connect to a computer or streaming device.
- Specifications:
- Size: 39 inches.
- Aspect Ratio: 21:9.
- Curvature: 800R.
- Display Type: OLED.
- Stand: Features a unique L-shaped stand.
Availability and Pricing
LG has not yet revealed the release dates or prices for these monitors. However, they are expected to be showcased and available for testing during LG’s participation in CES 2025, which will take place on January 7, 2025, in Las Vegas, USA.
Conclusion
LG’s new 45-inch curvable and 39-inch smart monitors represent a significant leap in gaming and display technology. With features like 5K resolution, OLED displays, and AI-powered capabilities, these monitors are set to redefine the gaming and content creation experience. Whether you’re a gamer, designer, or tech enthusiast, LG’s latest offerings are worth keeping an eye on.
