LG has kicked off CES 2025 early with a series of announcements about its upcoming UltraGear OLED monitors. These new displays are focused on curved designs, showcasing LG’s push to redefine high-performance screens for gaming and productivity enthusiasts alike.
The Star of the Show: UltraGear GX9 Bendable OLED
The crown jewel of LG’s new lineup is the 45GX990A, also known as the UltraGear OLED Bendable Gaming Monitor. This 45-inch, 5K2K display takes flexibility to a new level—literally. Users can adjust it from a flat screen to a dramatic 900R curvature in seconds, offering an adaptable experience for both immersive gaming and detailed productivity work.
It also comes packed with features:
- Resolution and Refresh Rate Options: LG’s Dual Mode lets you switch between resolutions and refresh rates with the push of a button, making it easier to adapt to different tasks.
- Speedy Response Times: A 0.03ms GtG response time ensures smooth visuals during fast-paced gameplay.
- OLED Panel Benefits: Expect vibrant colors and inky blacks that OLED is known for, plus an anti-glare, low-reflection coating for better visibility.
This model builds on the success of LG’s 2023 32-inch UltraGear OLED, adding more screen real estate and a unique bendable feature.
Fixed Design, Same Stunning Features
If a bendable screen doesn’t appeal to you, the 45GX950A might be the better pick. Sharing the same 45-inch size and 5K2K resolution as its bendable sibling, this monitor offers a fixed 21:9 aspect ratio that’s perfect for ultra-wide multitasking or cinematic gaming.
Key highlights include:
- Slim Bezels: Ultra-thin edges maximize your view and keep distractions to a minimum.
- Connectivity: Equipped with DisplayPort 2.1, HDMI 2.1, and USB-C ports (with 90W power delivery).
- Compatibility: Certified for AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-Sync, ensuring smooth and tear-free gameplay.
For users who prioritize consistency and a sturdy design, this model brings flagship-level features without the adjustable curvature.
A Compact Alternative for Smaller Spaces
For gamers or professionals with limited desk space, LG offers a smaller curved monitor—the 39GX90SA. This 39-inch model retains many of the standout features of its larger counterparts while being more practical for tighter setups.
- OLED Panel: Enjoy the same deep blacks and vivid colors LG is known for.
- 21:9 Aspect Ratio: Provides an ultra-wide viewing area without overwhelming your desk.
- Enhanced Connectivity: Multiple USB-C ports allow simultaneous connections to various devices.
The 39GX90SA strikes a balance between premium features and practicality, addressing one of the main criticisms of last year’s massive 49-inch UltraGear display.
A Focus on Gaming and Productivity
All three monitors in the UltraGear GX9 series aim to blend the needs of gamers and professionals. The combination of high refresh rates, OLED technology, and versatile connectivity options positions these displays as top contenders for anyone seeking cutting-edge tech.
LG’s focus on curved designs highlights its belief in immersive experiences. Whether you’re racing through virtual worlds or juggling spreadsheets, these monitors promise to enhance your interaction with the screen.
