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.

The centerpiece of the day – especially for animal lovers – was the “Cat Living Showcase,” featuring the LG PuriCare AeroCatTower, demonstrated with the help of several curious feline guests.
As a leading endorser of AeroCatTower, Dr. Lin Tzu-Hsuan – Asia’s first veterinarian certified by the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC) – presented scientific insights into feline behavior and environmental sensitivity. Dr. Lin’s expertise validated the AeroCatTower’s design philosophy that cares for the well-being of cats and other companion animals.
During the demonstration, LG Taiwan proudly announced that TIME Magazine named the AeroCatTower among the Best Inventions of 2025 – global recognition that celebrates its innovative integration of air purification and pet-friendly functionality.
Dr. Lin discussed the impact of airflow, sound and scent on a cat’s emotional state, expertly analyzing the distinctive product’s behavioral and academic rationale. This blend of expert commentary and live interaction not only added scientific credibility but also ensured an engaging experience that deeply resonated with pet owners.

This area highlighted the PuriCare Dual Inverter Dehumidifier through an immersive wall installation visualizing the mechanics of the dual inverter compressor. Transparent panels and dynamic lighting showcased how the latest system boosts performance by 20 percent compared to its predecessor while delivering superior dehumidification.
Full PuriCare Lineup Zone – An Air Solution for Every Home
The complete PuriCare Air Care collection was presented, enabling visitors to explore solutions for diverse home environments – from compact city apartments to spacious family residences – balancing powerful performance, energy efficiency and modern design.
By launching the world’s first air purifier designed for cats and collaborating with Asia’s foremost animal behavior expert, LG Taiwan expanded beyond traditional tech and lifestyle audiences to embrace pet families – an increasingly important segment of Taiwanese households.
Guided by “In Tune With Your Air, In Care of Your Life,” we are committed to shaping air care experiences that go beyond simply cleaning the air. We believe our products should support emotional comfort, well-being and harmony for everyone in the home – including those with four legs and a tail.

LG Pioneers Software-Defined Vehicle Era With
webOS-Based Automotive Content Platform
SEOUL, Sep. 9, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG), a leading innovator in mobility technology, is strengthening its position in the Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) era with its webOS-based Automotive Content Platform (ACP). Through differentiated solutions and powerful partnerships, the company is transforming vehicles into dynamic software-driven experience hubs.
At IAA MOBILITY 2025, one of the world’s largest mobility events held in Munich, Germany, LG hosted a press conference to share its vision for the future of mobility and announce new strategic partnerships. The conference, titled “Redefining the In-Cabin Experience: Why the Automotive Content Ecosystem Matters,” featured key executives including Eun Seok-hyun, president of the LG Vehicle Solution Company; Chris Jo, head of the webOS Platform Business Center at the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company; Chris Lee, Vice President of Xbox Marketing at Microsoft; and Brendan Ittelson, Chief Ecosystem Officer at Zoom.
“Leveraging nearly 70 years of customer experience expertise in home appliances and IT, LG has a unique competitive edge to redefine the vehicle from a simple means of transportation into a living space centered on the user experience,” said Eun Seok-hyun. “We aim to supply our webOS-based ACP to 20 million vehicles by 2030 while continuously expanding our content and service ecosystem.”
Immersive In-Car Gaming With Xbox
During the conference, LG emphasized the importance of providing a scalable in-vehicle ecosystem and revealed two strategic partners to expand its content offerings.
Meeting players where they are, Xbox will soon bring the gaming experience to the road, with the Xbox app integrated into LG ACP. Passengers with an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, a compatible Bluetooth controller and supported internet access, will now have access to play hundreds of games, including popular titles such as Doom: The Dark Ages and Forza Horizon 5 directly from the vehicle’s infotainment system via cloud gaming.
“At Xbox, we’re always looking for new ways to bring the joy of gaming to more people, wherever they are. Through our work with LG, we are expanding the experience and value of gaming even further for players,” said Chris Lee, Vice President of Xbox Marketing. “Soon, passengers can access their gaming library and carry their progression with them wherever they go – whether on the road or at home. Bringing Xbox to the in-vehicle experience means every journey is not only more entertaining but supports the flexibility players expect from Xbox.”
Driving Connection With Zoom
Expanding the scope of LG ACP beyond entertainment, the addition of a native Zoom app will transform vehicles into mobile collaboration spaces. By integrating one of the world’s leading collaboration platforms, LG ACP will empower drivers and passengers to conduct meetings and manage work efficiently across multiple vehicle models – all while enabling safer driving with a user experience that reduces distractions.
“At Zoom, we believe in meeting people where people meet – whether that’s in the office, at home or even in the car,” said Brendan Ittelson. “This partnership marks a major milestone in redefining what’s possible inside the vehicle, helping people communicate and stay connected while on the move.”
From the Living Room to the Road: A Seamless webOS Experience
Building on the success of webOS – now powering over 240 million smart TVs worldwide – LG ACP brings the same intuitive user experience and proven stability into the vehicle. It offers drivers and passengers a seamless mobility experience, allowing them to continue enjoying various content and services on multiple in-vehicle displays, all in compliance with driving safety regulations.
Passengers can stream their favorite content on the vehicle’s infotainment display,* from services such as Netflix, Disney+, YouTube, Baby Shark World for Kids, Play.Works, Haystack News and LG Channels, along with Korean local streaming services TVING and WAVVE. By the end of the year, LG plans to add to its content availability by bringing digital art platform Vasari, European streaming service RakutenTV and German streaming service Joyn. Also, LG ACP will bring Japanese local streaming service U-NEXT soon.
LG ACP powered by webOS is a core component of PlayWare, the in-vehicle entertainment solution within LG’s SDV suite, LG AlphaWare. It delivers a differentiated, high-definition, high-quality content experience that expands customers’ living spaces into the vehicle and makes time on the road more valuable. LG continues to expand the application of its ACP to commercial vehicles, bringing its future mobility vision of transforming the vehicle into a “living space on wheels” to life.
