Hello, my fellow tech enthusiasts! It’s Nuked here, ready to dive into some exciting news from the world of gaming monitors. Grab your favorite snack and let’s get started!
LG is kicking things off early for CES 2025 with its new gaming monitor lineup, and it’s making quite the splash! Leading the charge is the UltraGear OLED Bendable Gaming Monitor, which LG proudly claims is the “world’s first 5K2K-resolution bendable OLED display.” Now that’s a mouthful! But hey, first place means you get to brag a little, right?
This impressive 45-inch monitor boasts a jaw-dropping resolution of 5120×2160. What does that mean for you? Well, it has the same vertical pixel count as a typical 4K screen but offers a much wider canvas for your gaming escapades. Talk about leveling up your experience!
With a 21:9 aspect ratio, LG promises a more immersive gaming experience compared to standard 16:9 displays while still maintaining compatibility with content better than those ultra-wide 32:9 monitors. And when you’re not conquering virtual worlds, this format is perfect for getting work done too. Productivity and play? Yes, please!
The UltraGear OLED Bendable Gaming Monitor (model 45GX990A) can switch from flat to a dramatic 900R curvature. Plus, LG has introduced its latest Dual-Mode feature, which allows users to effortlessly toggle between different resolution and refresh rate presets while customizing the aspect ratio and picture size. How neat is that?
This bad boy is certified for Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, but details on the maximum refresh rate are still under wraps. I’ve reached out for more info on that front—stay tuned!
Both the bendable and non-bendable models sport the same stunning 5K2K resolution of 5120×2160. The non-bendable version features a permanent 800R curve but shares the same size and aspect ratio as its bendy sibling. LG promises sharp, lifelike images with vibrant colors and outstanding contrast that their OLED products are known for.
Shared specs include an impressive 0.03ms (GtG) response time and support for DisplayPort 2.1, HDMI 2.1, and USB-C with 90W power delivery. Oh, and the 45GX950A model uses an RGWB subpixel layout to enhance text readability—perfect for those long work sessions!
But wait, there’s more! LG is also unveiling the curved UltraGear 39GX90SA, a webOS-powered “home entertainment hub” that offers easy access to all your favorite streaming services—just like their TVs. It’s a bit smaller at 39 inches but still maintains that sleek 21:9 aspect ratio and an inviting 800R curve.
Equipped with USB Type-C ports for convenient connectivity and featuring LG’s ergonomic L-shaped stand, this monitor is designed for a tidy workspace. Who doesn’t love a clutter-free desk setup?
As we gear up for CES news, we’re still waiting on pricing and specific release dates to drop later in 2025. But fear not! We’ll be checking out the UltraGear GX9 series in person in Las Vegas, so stay tuned for our impressions next month—along with an avalanche of other stunning screens from various companies!
