LG revealed its new monitor series, LG UltraGear GX9, on Monday. The company’s latest gaming monitor lineup consists of three models and will be launched at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025, which will take place on January 7 in Las Vegas.

LG has already secured the “Best of Innovation” title at the CES 2025 Innovation Awards, according to the company.

On the other hand, the company will also launch two other gaming monitors, including one powered by its webOS platform.

LG UltraGear GX9 series features

The LG UltraGear OLED 45GX990A features a 45-inch bendable screen with a 5K2K (5,120 x 2,160 pixels) resolution. It sports a 21:9 aspect ratio, which is claimed to deliver a more immersive gaming experience than standard 16:9 displays.

The company confirmed that the gaming monitor can be transitioned from a completely flat screen to a display with a 900R curvature.

Moreover, the LG UltraGear OLED 45GX950A model has the same resolution and aspect ratio as the 45GX990A. However, instead of a bendable display, it gets an 800R curved screen with a 125 pixels-per-inch (PPI) pixel density and RGWB subpixel layout.

According to the company, both models are equipped with second-generation dual-mode technology, which provides eight customisable refresh rate and screen resolution configurations. They also support DisplayPort 2.1 and HDMI 2.1 technologies.

The LG UltraGear 45GX990A and 45GX950A are NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro certified which is said to give a smoother gameplay experience with reduced screen tearing. 

Additionally, both LG’s gaming monitors support the latest graphic cards and features such as variable refresh rate (VRR).

Meanwhile, the LG UltraGear 39GX90SA sports a 39-inch OLED display with 800R curvature and a 21:9 aspect ratio. It is powered by LG's webOS platform which is designed to serve as an entertainment and gaming hub, letting users enjoy their streaming services without requiring a PC or a set-top-box.
