LG isn\u2019t waiting until CES begins to reveal its new collection of gaming monitors. The 2025 lineup is led by the UltraGear OLED Bendable Gaming Monitor, which LG claims is the \u201cworld\u2019s first 5K2K-resolution bendable OLED display.\u201d That strikes me as extremely specific, but hey, it\u2019s always worth bragging when you\u2019re first, I suppose. The 45-inch monitor has an expansive resolution of 5120×2160, so you\u2019re getting the same vertical pixel count as a typical 4K screen but a much wider canvas to game on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
And with a 21:9 aspect ratio, LG believes it provides \u201ca immersive gaming experience than standard 16:9 displays, while maintaining better content compatibility than 32:9 monitors.\u201d This format also makes the display a great fit for productivity work when you\u2019re not immersed in gameplay.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The UltraGear OLED Bendable Gaming Monitor (model 45GX990A) can transition from completely\u00a0flat to a 900R curvature, and the latest version of LG\u2019s Dual-Mode feature \u201callows users to switch effortlessly between resolution and refresh rate presets, and customize the\u00a0aspect ratio and picture size.\u201d It\u2019s certified for Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, but the press materials don\u2019t specify a maximum refresh rate. I\u2019ve asked for more details there.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
LG is also releasing a non-bendable model with a permanent 800R curve. Otherwise, it\u2019s the same 45-inch size, same aspect ratio, and same 5K2K resolution. LG\u2019s press release says you can expect \u201csharp, lifelike images with the stunning colors and exceptional contrast LG OLED products are known for.\u201d Shared specs between both monitors include a 0.03ms (GtG) response time and support for DisplayPort 2.1, HDMI 2.1, and USB-C with 90W power delivery. The 45GX950A uses a RGWB subpixel layout to improve readability of text on the screen and make the aforementioned productivity work easier on your eyes. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Along with these two monitors, LG is also introducing the curved UltraGear 39GX90SA, a webOS-powered \u201chome entertainment hub\u201d with easy access to streaming services \u2014 just like LG\u2019s TVs. It seems like the company has taken some cues from Samsung\u2019s smart monitors here. At 39 inches, this one\u2019s a bit smaller than the other GX9 displays, but it retains the 21:9 aspect ratio and 800R curve. \u201cEquipped with USB Type-C ports, it offers convenient connectivity, and incorporates LG\u2019s ergonomic and space-saving L-shaped stand for a clutter-free desk setup,\u201d LG said in tonight\u2019s press release.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n As per usual with CES news, pricing and a specific release date are still to come later in 2025. But we\u2019ll be getting our first in-person look at the UltraGear GX9 series in Las Vegas, so stay tuned for impressions early next month \u2014 along with an avalanche of stunning screens from many other companies, too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
