LG Electronics is making waves at CES 2025 with the introduction of its UltraGear™ GX9 series, featuring the world’s first bendable 5K2K OLED gaming monitors. Set to be unveiled this January, the lineup is already making headlines, having won three CES 2025 Innovation Awards, including the prestigious ‘Best of Innovation’ award for the 45GX990A model.
With the UltraGear GX9 series, LG reasserts its dominance in the premium gaming monitor market, boasting cutting-edge technology and impressive specs. The flagship model, the 45GX990A, is equipped with innovative features like the ability to transition from flat to 900R curvature within seconds, providing gamers with unparalleled flexibility and immersion.
These monitors are not just about performance; they also prioritize user comfort. The entire GX9 range utilizes LG's advanced WOLED technology to deliver true blacks and stunning colors. The monitors are certified for low blue light emissions, ensuring gamers can enjoy extended play sessions without straining their eyes. Adding to this user-friendly approach, LG’s Anti-Glare & Low Reflection (AGLR) coating helps minimize reflections, making gameplay smoother even under bright lights.
Both the 45GX990A and the 45GX950A feature ultra-high 5K2K resolution (5,120 x 2,160), setting them apart as the first OLED monitors to achieve this benchmark. Their 21:9 aspect ratio is particularly appealing for gamers, enhancing immersion compared to standard 16:9 screens and improving content compatibility.
The versatile Dual-Mode feature allows users to easily switch between different aspect ratios and screen configurations, adapting to the variety of game genres from FPS to RPG. This flexibility enables gamers to customize their setups, ensuring their monitor suits their gaming style and environment perfectly.
Another standout in the GX9 series is the 45GX950A, which features a pronounced 800R curvature and showcases LG’s self-lit OLED panel capabilities. Its sleek 4-side Virtually Borderless design enhances immersion, making it ideal not just for gaming but also for productivity tasks.
At the heart of this innovation is YS Lee, vice president and head of LG’s IT Business Unit, who expressed confidence about the direction of the UltraGear GX9 series. "The UltraGear GX9 series sets a new standard for OLED gaming monitors, combining groundbreaking display technology with smart features..." Lee stated, emphasizing the importance of delivering maximum value and enjoyment for customers.
For those who also seek to stream content without the need for additional hardware, the UltraGear 39GX90SA model caters to this market perfectly. This smart gaming monitor, powered by LG webOS, offers seamless access to popular streaming services, making it not only ideal for gaming but also for movie enthusiasts.
Its impressive 39-inch, 21:9 aspect ratio curved OLED display produces vibrant colors and deep blacks, making it perfect for AAA gaming titles and HDR content. With LG’s L-shaped ergonomic stand, users can maintain a clean workspace, proving LG’s dedication to functionality and aesthetics.
The compatibility with various connection options, including USB Type-C, ensures gaming on the latest consoles and graphics cards is both convenient and efficient, allowing for device charging and easy setup.
LG’s UltraGear GX9 series is undoubtedly set to impact the gaming monitor industry significantly, redefining users' expectations and experiences. With technology continuously moving forward, LG is committed to being at the forefront, pushing innovation to new heights.
At CES 2025, LG will demonstrate how its latest offerings merge technology and user experience, paving the way for the future of gaming.
