LG has introduced a new series of premium gaming displays, the UltraGear evo line, featuring advanced AI upscaling and a unified 5K resolution across all models. This announcement comes just ahead of the CES trade show, highlighting the company’s push into high-performance gaming hardware. The lineup includes three distinct flagship monitors, each designed to cater to different gaming preferences with cutting-edge display technology.
The series is headlined by three models: the 39GX950B, the 27GM950B, and the 52G930B. The leading number in each model name conveniently indicates the screen size in inches. The 39-inch GX9 model is an ultrawide 21:9 5K2K dual-mode OLED screen. It offers a refresh rate of 165Hz at its full native resolution, but can switch to a blistering 330Hz for fast-paced competitive gaming when operating at a WFHD resolution. This flexibility allows gamers to choose between maximum visual fidelity and ultra-smooth motion depending on the title.
Next is the 27-inch GM9, which utilizes a “New” MiniLED backlight technology. LG promises this panel delivers brighter images than typical OLED screens while minimizing the blooming effect often seen with MiniLED displays. This model is especially noteworthy because LG manufactures the panels for Apple’s Pro Display XDR, and industry rumors suggest Apple’s monitor may receive a significant update soon, potentially leveraging similar advancements.
The third model is the colossal 52-inch G9, a dramatically curved display offering a 12:9 panoramic aspect ratio. It runs at a native 5K2K resolution with a refresh rate of 240Hz, designed to create an exceptionally immersive viewing experience. All three monitors will be showcased at the upcoming CES event. LG has not yet released information regarding pricing or specific availability dates for these new UltraGear evo displays.
