Expanding the Boundaries of High-Resolution Gaming With a New Lineup Spanning OLED, New MiniLED and Ultra-Wide Formats
LG Electronics (LG) today launched its premium gaming monitor brand, UltraGear evo™, at CES 2026, setting a bold new benchmark for high-resolution gaming. Building on LG’s leadership in 5K and 5K2K gaming displays, the UltraGear evo lineup pushes boundaries with OLED, New MiniLED, and ultra-wide formats that combine ultra-high definition, lightning-fast performance, and immersive visuals across multiple screen sizes. The first three flagship models—39GX950B, 27GM950B, and 52G930B—deliver uncompromising clarity, speed, and scale for the ultimate gaming experience.
AI-Powered 5K Upscaling: Next-Level Clarity
At the heart of UltraGear evo is LG’s industry-first 5K AI Upscaling technology, a proprietary on-device AI solution that enhances visuals in real time. Gamers can enjoy stunning 5K-class image quality without GPU upgrades, while AI Scene Optimization and AI Sound refine every detail of the visuals and audio for a fully immersive experience.
39-Inch 5K2K OLED: GX9 (39GX950B)
The 39-inch GX9 OLED monitor combines LG’s Primary RGB Tandem OLED technology with AI-powered enhancements to deliver perfect blacks, lifelike colors, and unparalleled brightness. Its Dual Mode lets players toggle between 165Hz at 5K2K and 330Hz at WFHD, while an ultra-fast 0.03ms (GtG) response time ensures seamless competitive gameplay. The 1500R-curved 21:9 ultrawide display keeps vertical height equivalent to a 32-inch monitor while expanding horizontal immersion, making it ideal for both gaming and multitasking.
27-Inch 5K New MiniLED: GM9 (27GM950B)
The 27-inch GM9 is the world’s first 5K New MiniLED gaming monitor designed to solve blooming and halo effects. With 2,304 local dimming zones and Zero Optical Distance engineering, it delivers sharp contrast, vivid highlights, and deep blacks. Dual Mode operation provides 165Hz at 5K and 330Hz at QHD, complemented by a 1ms (GtG) response time and VESA DisplayHDR™ 1000 certification. AI Upscaling and scene/audio optimization bring professional-grade clarity without taxing the GPU.
52-Inch 5K2K: G9 (52G930B)
The 52-inch G9 redefines large-format gaming with a 12:9 panoramic 5K2K screen, offering the vertical height of a 42-inch monitor while stretching horizontally for a 33% wider workspace than standard UHD. With 240Hz refresh rate, 1000R curvature, and VESA DisplayHDR™ 600 certification, the G9 ensures expansive, immersive gameplay for both competitive and cinematic experiences.
A New Standard in Gaming Displays
“UltraGear evo marks a turning point for gaming displays, ending compromises in performance, scale, and clarity,” said Lee Choong-hwoan, head of LG’s Display Business at the Media Entertainment Solution Company. “From perfect blacks to expansive formats, gamers can now experience unmatched 5K immersion across every form factor.”
