Expanding the Boundaries of High-Resolution Gaming With a New
Lineup Spanning OLED, New MiniLED and Ultra-Wide Formats
SEOUL, Dec. 26, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) announced today the global launch of its new premium gaming monitor brand, UltraGear evo, set to debut at CES® 2026. Building on LG’s established leadership in 5K and 5K2K gaming displays, UltraGear evo expands the boundaries of high-resolution gaming with a portfolio of 5K-and-above monitors spanning OLED, New MiniLED and ultra-wide formats, combining ultra-high definition, speed and immersion across multiple form factors. The inaugural UltraGear evo lineup features three flagship models – 39GX950B, 27GM950B and 52G930B – united by a shared foundation of high-resolution excellence.
At the heart of this evolution is LG’s commitment to uncompromised image quality, reinforced by a newly introduced on-device AI solution. This proprietary technology powers the world’s first 5K AI Upscaling technology.* This technology achieves stunning 5K-class clarity without the burden of GPU upgrades and allows gamers to enjoy a wider range of content in high definition – transcending original resolution limits.
39-Inch 5K2K OLED Gaming Monitor With 5K AI Upscaling
The LG UltraGear evo 39-inch GX9 (39GX950B) builds on the legacy of the GX9 series as a 39-inch 5K2K OLED gaming monitor that delivers uncompromised visual quality and immersive gameplay. Building on this foundation, with the new on-device AI solution, the monitor analyzes and enhances content in real time before it reaches the panel, delivering stunning 5K-class clarity without requiring GPU upgrades. This goes beyond resolution, incorporating AI Scene Optimization and AI Sound, the monitor refines images and audio performance for a more immersive audiovisual experience.
Visual performance is enhanced by LG’s Primary RGB Tandem OLED technology, delivering improved brightness, color accuracy and panel longevity with perfect black and lifelike colors. Designed to adapt to different gaming genres, the Dual Mode feature allows seamless switching between 165Hz at 5K2K resolution and 330Hz at WFHD, supported by an ultra-fast 0.03ms (GtG) response time – enabling gamers to prioritize either visual fidelity or ultra-smooth competitive play.
The 1500R-curved 21:9 ultrawide display that retains the vertical height of a 32-inch screen while expanding horizontal immersion for both gaming and multitasking. With a pixel density of 142 PPI and VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification, the monitor delivers detailed highlights and deep blacks even in the darkest scenes.
World’s First 5K New MiniLED Monitor Solving for Blooming
The LG UltraGear evo 27-inch GM9 (27GM950B) sets a new standard for 27-inch gaming monitors as the world’s first 5K New MiniLED display designed to dramatically improve blooming control. By effectively minimizing halo effects that commonly affect high-resolution MiniLED displays, the monitor delivers professional grade 5K precision with exceptional optical clarity. Featuring 2,304 local dimming zones, combined with Zero Optical Distance engineering that minimizes the gap between the panel and LED, the monitor delivers ultra-high luminance and refined contrast accuracy that preserves fine details across bright and dark scenes alike.
Like the 39-inch GX9, the 27GM950B incorporates the on-device AI solution, enabling 5K AI Upscaling, AI Scene Optimization and AI Sound to enhance image and audio in real time without GPU overhead.
For versatile gaming performance, the monitor supports Dual Mode operation, allowing users to switch between 165Hz at 5K resolution and 330Hz at QHD, paired with a fast 1ms (GtG) response time. Certified VESA DisplayHDR 1000 and delivering peak brightness of up to 1,250 nits, the display ensures vivid highlights, intense flames and sharp flashes of light are rendered with striking realism alongside deep, controlled blacks.
World’s Largest 52-Inch 5K2K 240Hz Gaming Monitor
The LG UltraGear evo 52-inch G9 (52G930B) introduces a new class of large-format gaming displays as the world’s largest 5K2K gaming monitor, offering gamers an unprecedented range of screen size options within the UltraGear evo lineup. The expansive scale is paired with a blazing-fast 240Hz refresh rate, ensuring consistent responsiveness and image fidelity.
The massive screen features the vertical viewing height of a standard 42-inch 16:9 display, stretching horizontally for an expansive 12:9 panoramic view. This form factor provides a workspace 33 percent wider than a standard UHD monitor. A 1000R curvature encloses the user’s peripheral vision for seamless immersion. Visuals are equally impactful delivering vivid color and deep contrast validated by VESA Display HDR 600.
“The new UltraGear evo marks a definitive turning point, signaling the end of compromises in gaming display performance. With innovations like industry-first 5K AI Upscaling, the lineup ensures that whether gamers prefer perfect blacks, unmatched brightness, or expansive scale, they can enjoy the same high standard of performance, clarity and immersion in high resolution,” said Lee Choong-hwoan, head of the Display Business at the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company. “This reflects our excellence in delivering high-resolution technology not only to the B2C gaming market but also through precision-driven B2B solutions like medical monitors.”
The bar-raising LG UltraGear evo lineup is set to be showcased at CES 2026. Visitors can experience the evo lineup’s high-quality visuals through two zones: the “Dream Setup” inspired by the Reddit’s gaming communities and a SimCraft-powered racing simulation featuring the new 39-inch GX9.
In addition to the new evo series, sales of the UltraGear GX7 (27GX790B) will commence in global markets on the opening day of CES 2026. This 27-inch gaming monitor boasts a QHD Primary RGB Tandem OLED display, 540Hz refresh rate and Dual Mode (HD 720Hz), matching the high expectations of avid gamers.

A Future-Proof Display for Professional Video Editors and Designers, Delivering 6K
Resolution, Precise Colors and High-Speed Connectivity
SEOUL, Sep. 30, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) is introducing the UltraFine evo 6K (model 32U990A), the world’s first 6K monitor with Thunderbolt 5 connectivity. Debuting under LG’s new UltraFine evo brand of premium, ultra-high-resolution monitors, the 32U990A is purpose-built for professional video editors, graphic designers and other creators working with demanding, data-intensive workflows. Combining ultra-sharp 6K resolution (6,144 x 3,456) with exceptional color accuracy and high-speed connectivity, it empowers users to work faster and smarter.
The 32U990A – the first-ever 6K display with Thunderbolt 5 support – has already earned a CES 2025 Innovation Award and the iF Design Award 2025. Building on the legacy of LG UltraFine series – a line of 5K displays optimized for Mac devices – the UltraFine evo brand raises the bar for professional-grade displays even higher, as clearly demonstrated by the superb performance and impressive capabilities of this inaugural model.
LG’s premium monitor is designed to meet the needs of creative professionals, providing flawless image fidelity and next-level text clarity. Its 32-inch 6K HiDPI display boasts a pixel density of 224 PPI, delivering sharper, cleaner text and precise visual details. Factory-calibrated for consistent color expression with macOS, the 6K UltraFine evo covers 98 percent of the DCI-P3 color space and 99.5 percent of Adobe RGB, ensuring faithful image reproduction for video and image editing as well as print production. VESA DisplayHDR 600-certified, it maintains the consistent brightness and true colors required for detailed graphics and video work. Additionally, Studio Mode* featuring three color preset options for Mac devices will be introduced.
Designed with professional users in mind, the 32U990A’s 6K resolution delivers 2.56 times more pixels than a UHD 4K resolution (3,840 x 2,160) monitor. When two 6K UltraFine evo monitors are set up in a dual configuration, users can achieve a massive workspace with nearly five times the screen real estate of a single UHD 4K monitor. A particular advantage for Thunderbolt based systems, this multi-monitor setup is easily facilitated via daisy-chaining, further enhancing multitasking efficiency and optimizing digital workflows.
The new monitor also serves as a professional hub with built-in KVM switching and multi-port connectivity, enabling seamless operation across Mac- and Windows-based systems. This allows creators to view mobile content in the optimal format while simultaneously working on production tasks.
Thunderbolt 5 compatibility ensures effortless integration with Mac devices while serving as a high-speed hub for SSDs, eGPUs and other peripherals. Offering up to 120Gbps unidirectional data transfer – three times faster than Thunderbolt 4 – it supports real-time 4K rendering and rapid transfer of 8K RAW video files, making the 32U990A ideal for AI-powered video editing and upscaling workflows.
Visually striking as well as powerful, the monitor’s 4-side Virtually Borderless design delivers a clean, minimalist aesthetic and immersive viewing experience. Ergonomic tilt and pivot adjustments allow for comfortable long-session editing and make it ideal for vertical-format content such as YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels. Thunderbolt 5 also helps reduce cable clutter, keeping workspaces neat while enabling flexible multi-monitor configurations.
“With many video editors now managing high-volume, multi-project workflows, the need for ultra-high-resolution displays with precise color and fast connectivity has never been greater,” said YS Lee, head of the IT Business at the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company. “A future-proof display of uncompromising quality, the new UltraFine evo 6K more than meets this need, helping professional creators work faster, smarter and deliver their best results.”
The UltraFine evo 6K monitor will begin its rollout in late September in South Korea and Japan, with a global launch including the U.S. and Europe to follow in October.

In the world of high-performance displays, two tribes have long stood apart. On one side, the elite gamers, for whom victory is measured in milliseconds and every frame counts. On the other, the creative professionals, for whom color is not a preference but a science. For a long time, the idea that a single brand could truly master both disciplines seemed unlikely.
That’s why we’re especially proud that the readers of Digital Trends – one of the most discerning tech communities online – voted us Best Monitor Brand of 2025. To us, this recognition means more than an award. It shows that we’ve earned the trust of two of the toughest audiences out there by delivering displays that don’t ask people to compromise – whether they’re chasing a win in-game or chasing perfection in their craft.
Bridging Two Worlds: A Vision Validated by Users
Historically, a monitor that excelled for one of these groups was often a compromise for the other, but Digital Trends’ readers recognized that LG consistently bridges this gap. The publication praised the brand’s unique ability to serve both markets, noting that even a legacy model showcases this dual excellence.
Highlighting the brand’s long-standing philosophy, Digital Trends wrote, “Take the LG 27GN950, a monitor from several years ago. It’s a 4K gaming monitor… but more than that, its color accuracy is so on-point that it will serve professionals well in day-to-day work.” This core strength – engineering a gaming monitor with technology so excellent that it also meets professional standards – is the foundation for LG’s latest innovations.
“If you’re editing video, tweaking an image or anything else that requires you to be able to spot even the slightest shade variances in an image,” Digital Trends concluded, “LG is the brand for you.”
It’s this very philosophy – that a gaming monitor’s underlying technology should be so excellent that it also meets the exacting standards of creative professionals – that forms the foundation for our latest flagship lineups.
The Story Behind the Screen: The Two Pillars of UltraGear Innovation
When we designed the UltraGear lineup, we focused on breaking down barriers between the user and their digital world. That meant two things: delivering immersive, expansive screens that fuel productivity, and ensuring visuals so accurate that they meet the highest creative standards. These principles are perfectly showcased in two key models from the lineup.
The LG UltraGear OLED Gaming Monitor GX9 (45GX950A) is built for immersion on a whole new scale. With world-first 45-inch 5K2K (5120×2160) screen* and dramatic 800R curvature, it surrounds gamers with an incredible field of view. Its Dual-Mode feature offers the versatility to switch between the breathtaking detail of 5K2K at 165Hz for graphic-rich worlds and the blistering speed of WFHD at 330Hz for competitive action. For creators, that same 21:9 screen provides 50 percent more space than a standard 32:9 monitor, while its 125 PPI ensures razor-sharp text clarity. With 98.5 percent DCI-P3 color coverage and DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification, it delivers the cinematic color and deep blacks needed for high-fidelity creative work – making it a massive digital canvas perfect for laying out long video timelines or managing multiple applications.
Then there’s the UltraGear 27GX700A, which represents an unwavering commitment to visual fidelity. For gamers, its QHD (2560×1440) resolution, blazing-fast 280Hz refresh rate and near-instantaneous 0.03ms (GtG) response time deliver a perfect balance of detail and speed. For creators, its groundbreaking fourth-generation Primary RGB Tandem OLED panel provides professional-grade accuracy. Its color performance is impressive, covering 99.5 percent of the DCI-P3 color gamut for vibrant, true-to-life visuals. It has been recognized with a “Perfect Color Consistency” certification from UL Solutions and “100 percent Color Fidelity” certification from Intertek, ensuring accurate and uniform color expression across every frame and brightness level. The monitor’s VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification and a peak brightness of up to 1,500 nits reveal the most subtle details in both the darkest and brightest parts of an image – preserving the full dynamic range of a photograph or a cinematic scene.
It’s this powerful combination – the versatile, expansive productivity of the 45GX950A and the uncompromising color fidelity of the 27GX700A – that defines the UltraGear lineup. It’s why a brand celebrated by the world’s most competitive gamers is the same one trusted by creative professionals.
A Commitment to User-Centric Innovation
We see the Digital Trends award not as a finish line, but as motivation to keep pushing forward. Gamers and creators are two of the most demanding communities in the world – and rightly so. They expect nothing less than speed, precision and authenticity.
At LG, we’re committed to giving them just that. With UltraGear, our goal is simple: to build a screen for every vision, so that whatever you’re creating – or competing for – you have the right tools to bring it to life.

Last year, LG Vietnam made waves in the gaming scene by introducing the Life’s Good Tournament, which was the first and only local area network (LAN) party gaming tournament in Vietnam. This premier League of Legends (LoL) competition in Vietnam attracts talented teams from across the nation, who compete through several qualifying rounds to reach the grand final held at Another Saigon by LG, brand experience space in Ho Chi Minh City. The 2024 final, held on November 30, featured the top teams from four different regions: GENETIC ESPORT from Lighting Esport Complex, HST from OGE Stadium, 2 GAME ĐI VỀ from Unicorn Cyber and ALPHA MALE from Vikings. These cybernets are fully equipped with LG UltraGear gaming monitors, which provide the ultimate gaming experience with brilliant OLED displays.
The grand final was graced by legends of the local eSports scene, including SOFM, Đức Mạnh, Clear and KillerQueen, who provided professional mentorship to the four teams. They shared their practical skills and inspired a competitive spirit in each competitor. After some of the most intense battles in the nation’s gaming history, GENETIC ESPORT emerged as the champion of the Life’s Good 2024 Tournament, followed by runners-up HST and third-place finishers 2 GAME ĐI VỀ and ALPHA MALE.
“This is our second time participating in the Life’s Good Tournament and our team came with a solid plan to conquer the country’s best LoL teams,” said a player of GENETIC ESPORT. “Our outstanding performance in the final was inspired by our mentor, KillerQueen. We are extremely grateful to LG for creating a professional platform that allows us to compete with other talented teams while unlocking the full potential of our passionate eSports community in Vietnam.”
This convincing victory was the result of tireless preparation and effort, earning the GENETIC ESPORT team a trip to Korea in December 2024. They have explored the heart of competitive League of Legends, visiting iconic locations such as LCK Park, the Gen.G Headquarters and LG GROUND220. The team also received a 45-inch UltraGear OLED Curved Gaming Monitor WQHD and vouchers worth 50 million VND.
