CES 2025

LG unveils world’s first flexible gaming monitor

LG Electronics (LG) is reinforcing its leadership in premium OLED gaming monitors with the LG UltraGear™ GX9 series, which will be unveiled at CES 2025 in January. The new lineup includes the 45GX990A—winner of three CES 2025 Innovation Awards, including the prestigious ‘Best of Innovation’—and an all-in-one smart gaming monitor powered by LG webOS. These awards underscore LG’s commitment to delivering advanced, high-quality gaming solutions. With the GX9 series, LG continues to demonstrate its leadership in cutting-edge gaming monitor technology and innovation.

To ensure maximum gaming immersion, all models in the UltraGear GX9 series feature curved display panels that utilize LG’s advanced WOLED technology. These displays deliver high brightness, deep blacks, stunning colors and optimized curvature—a combination that brings games to life and immerses users in the thrilling action of their favorite titles. Certified for low blue light emissions, the GX9 series offers a more comfortable experience, reducing eye fatigue during long gaming sessions. Additionally, LG’s Anti-Glare & Low Reflection (AGLR) coating minimizes reflections and glare, making it easier to see what’s happening on the screen, even in bright environments.

The 45GX990A and 45GX950A are 45-inch 21:9 aspect ratio gaming monitors with 5K2K (5,120 x 2,160) ultra-high resolution — a first for OLED displays.* Their 21:9 aspect ratio provides a more immersive gaming experience than standard 16:9 displays, while maintaining better content compatibility than 32:9 monitors. With ample screen real estate, these monitors are an excellent choice not only for gaming, but for a variety of other uses as well.

Both products feature LG’s second-generation Dual Mode, offering customizable aspect ratios (21:9 or 16:9) and image sizes (39, 34 or 27 inches) with one-touch switching between preset combinations of screen resolution and refresh rate. With eight settings, users can customize their gaming setups to suit their preferences or adapt to different game genres, such as FPS, RPG, MOBA and racing simulators.

The World’s First 5K2K Flexible Gaming Monitor with Dual-Mode...The LG UltraGear OLED Flexible Gaming Monitor (model 45GX990A) is the world’s first flexible 5K2K OLED display. The 45-inch monitor can seamlessly switch from completely flat to a 900R curvature in seconds, offering users incredible flexibility and more control over their gaming experience. Its enhanced Dual-Mode feature allows users to easily switch between preset resolutions and refresh rates, as well as customize the aspect ratio and image size. With an ultra-fast 0.03ms (GtG) response time, the 45GX990A ensures smooth gameplay and greater immersion.

The First 45-Inch 5K2K OLED Gaming Monitor with 800R Curvature and DisplayPort 2.1...Another standout model in the new GX9 lineup is the LG UltraGear OLED Gaming Monitor (model 45GX950A). With its curved (800R) panel, 21:9 aspect ratio, 5K2K resolution and 45-inch self-illuminating display, this display delivers crisp, lifelike images with the stunning colors and exceptional contrast that LG OLED products are known for. Its 4-sided Virtually Borderless design and thin bezels help enhance users’ sense of immersion while adding a sleek look to any setup. With 125 pixels per inch (PPI) and an RGWB subpixel layout, the monitor improves in-game text readability and makes productivity tasks like editing documents or website content easier.

Like its flexible sibling, the 45GX950A features Dual-Mode functionality with eight customizable settings and supports DisplayPort 2.1, HDMI 2.1, and USB-C with 90W power delivery. This ensures seamless compatibility with the latest graphics cards and features like variable refresh rate (VRR), as well as convenient device charging. Certified by NVIDIA G-SYNC® and AMD FreeSync™ Premium Pro, the monitor reduces screen tearing for a smoother, more responsive gaming experience.

Versatile Smart Gaming Monitor for Seamless Streaming and Immersive Gaming...The all-new LG UltraGear 39GX90SA is designed to deliver exceptional gaming and content streaming experiences. Powered by webOS, it serves as a home entertainment hub, allowing users to access all of their favorite streaming services without the need for a PC or set-top box. Its 39-inch curved OLED display with 21:9 aspect ratio (800R) produces brilliant colors and deep blacks, making it perfect for AAA games and HDR movies and series. Equipped with USB Type-C ports, it offers convenient connectivity and incorporates LG’s ergonomic L-shaped stand, saving space for a clutter-free work desk.

“The UltraGear GX9 series sets a new standard for OLED gaming monitors, combining innovative display technology with intelligent features that expand and enhance the user experience,” said YS Lee, vice president and head of IT Business Unit, LG Media Entertainment Solution Company. “From the first 2nd generation Dual-Mode 5K2K OLED displays to smart displays with built-in webOS, the GX9 lineup pushes the boundaries to deliver maximum value and enjoyment to our customers.”
