LG Unveils UltraGear GX9 Series with World’s First Bendable 5K2K OLED Gaming Monitor ahead of the CES 2025
LG Electronics (LG) announced its UltraGear GX9 series on Monday, comprising three new OLED gaming monitors. These models will be showcased at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025, beginning January 7 in Las Vegas. The lineup includes the LG UltraGear OLED 45GX990A, which features a 45-inch flexible OLED display with 5K2K resolution and has already earned the ‘Best of Innovation’ title at the CES 2025 Innovation Awards. Alongside it, LG will unveil the UltraGear 45GX950A and the UltraGear 39GX90SA, a smart monitor powered by LG’s webOS platform.
Key Features of the UltraGear GX9 Series
The 45GX990A features a 45-inch bendable OLED screen with 5K2K resolution (5,120 x 2,160 pixels) and a 21:9 aspect ratio. According to LG, this format delivers a more immersive gaming experience than standard 16:9 displays. Users can adjust the screen from a completely flat configuration to a 900R curvature, offering flexibility for different gaming scenarios. The model includes an ultra-fast 0.03ms (GtG) response time and second-generation Dual-Mode functionality, enabling eight customizable refresh rates and resolution settings.
Meanwhile, the 45GX950A also features a 45-inch OLED display with the same resolution and aspect ratio. However, it has an 800R curvature instead of a bendable screen. With a pixel density of 125 pixels per inch (PPI) and an RGWB subpixel layout, it enhances text readability and supports productivity tasks alongside gaming. Both models support DisplayPort 2.1 and HDMI 2.1 technologies, are NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro certified, and are compatible with features like variable refresh rate (VRR).
The 39GX90SA, on the other hand, is a 39-inch gaming monitor with an 800R curved OLED display and a 21:9 aspect ratio. Powered by LG’s webOS, it doubles as an entertainment hub, allowing users to stream content without the need for additional hardware such as a PC or set-top box. The monitor also includes USB Type-C connectivity and an ergonomic stand for streamlined desk setups.
Additional Details
All UltraGear GX9 models employ LG’s WOLED technology, designed for high brightness, true blacks, and vivid colors. Certified for low blue light emissions, these monitors aim to reduce eye strain during extended use. The Anti-Glare & Low Reflection (AGLR) coating further enhances viewing comfort by minimizing glare.
Pricing and Availability
The UltraGear GX9 series, including the 45GX990A and 39GX90SA, is set to launch in Q1 2025. Pricing details will be announced at CES 2025 or during the global rollout.
“The UltraGear GX9 series sets a new standard for OLED gaming monitors, combining groundbreaking display technology with smart features that expand and enhance the user experience,” said YS Lee, vice president and head of the IT Business Unit, LG Media Entertainment Solution Company.
