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.

Across Asia, lifestyle changes are reshaping how people find comfort and care at home. Consumers are turning toward subscription-based living – a smarter and more flexible way to enjoy the latest home innovations.
LG Subscribe is leading this shift with premium products, expert maintenance services and flexible payment plans. From Singapore’s first experiential LG Subscribe Brand Store at Suntec City to Thailand’s rapid growth toward 20,000 subscribers in its first year, we are making more accessible living a reality.
Singapore: A New Era of Smart Living at Suntec City
On August 6, 2025, LG Singapore opened the doors to its first LG Subscribe Brand Store in Singapore at Suntec City – a space that celebrates our vision to make life easier through real solutions tailored to different lifestyles.
To kick off the event, Fabian Kunho Lee, Managing Director of LG Singapore, shared how LG Subscribe blends technology with accessibility and care to begin “a new chapter in customer experience.” After the classic ribbon-cutting ceremony, a vibrant lion dance performance set the tone for an auspicious and energetic start.
Media and key partners toured the experiential store, exploring appliances such as the LG Styler®, washing machines, refrigerators and air purifiers – all available through flexible subscription plans. Product specialists also introduced LG Careship, a routine maintenance service covered by a monthly fee, ensuring that every appliance performs at its best.
Beyond retail, the store is designed as a welcoming space for families. In September, LG Singapore hosted a special Children’s Day event, transforming the store into a lively playground filled with interactive games, creative workshops and sweet treats. This celebration marked the beginning of a series of weekend experiences that make family time part of the LG Subscribe journey.
Thailand: Celebrating One Year of Growth and Innovation
In Thailand, LG Subscribe has quickly become a leader in the home appliance subscription market since its launch in October 2024. LG Thailand surpassed 10,000 subscribers in just nine months and are on track to reach 20,000 as its first anniversary approaches.
To celebrate this success, LG Thailand recognized outstanding Lifestyle Planners (LPs) and Lifestyle Sales Managers (LSMs) at the 2025 LSM Awards in July. Their dedication and customer-first mindset have been key to the program’s rapid expansion. The subsidiary also launched LG Subscribe Friends, an influencer initiative that invites creators to share authentic stories about how subscription living enhances everyday life in Thailand.
LG Thailand has successfully expanded its service network to 50 areas nationwide. With three LG Subscribe Complex Centers already open in Chiang Mai, Nakhon Ratchasima and Hat Yai, it plans to increase the number to seven by year’s end. The next milestone is to broaden its product portfolio to 14 categories and 100 models – making it easier for every Thai household to enjoy the comfort, convenience and peace of mind that define the company’s Life’s Good promise.
LG Subscribe is redefining home living across Asia through flexibility, care and innovation. Whether through Singapore’s engaging in-store experiences or Thailand’s nationwide growth, we continue to show how our commitment to convenience and comfort makes Life’s Good – every day, everywhere.

With Active Matrix Technology and Dolby Vision, the 136 Inch LED Display Delivers
True Cinematic Immersion and Stunning 4K Visuals
SEOUL, Oct. 20, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) unveiled the LG MAGNIT Active Micro LED, its latest innovation in home cinema display that incorporates Active Matrix technology for ultra-precise control of every individual pixel. This next-generation model brings exceptional image clarity, contrast and depth, redefining the viewing experience with premium home entertainment.
Available from October 21 in Korea, followed by key global markets including North America, the LG MAGNIT Active Micro LED represents LG’s premium MAGNIT lineup. With a 136-inch screen (approximately 3 meters wide and 1.7 meters tall), 4K (3,840 x 2,160) resolution and an extraordinary contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1, it delivers unparalleled immersion and visual realism.
By integrating Active Matrix technology, the new model’s self-emissive Micro LED display enables each pixel to generate its own light. Unlike conventional Passive Matrix systems that control pixels by rows and columns, LG’s Active Matrix approach provides individual pixel-level control for remarkably refined detail and ultra-high-definition picture quality.
LG’s proprietary surface treatment technology deepens black levels and minimizes the impact of external lighting for superior color accuracy. Its precisely aligned modular design minimizes gaps between panels to create a seamless viewing surface, while the flicker-free screen provides a comfortable, strain-free viewing experience, even during long viewing sessions.
The built-in speakers on each side deliver 4.2-channel surround sound with a total output of 100 watts. The display also supports enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC) for lossless playback of high-quality audio, enabling users to enjoy rich, cinematic sound in the comfort of home.
Powered by LG’s latest α9 AI Processor 6th Generation, the display intelligently analyzes the creator’s intent to optimize every scene. It reduces noise, sharpens clarity and recognizes faces, objects, text and backgrounds to deliver more natural, detailed and lifelike images. In addition, its 144Hz high refresh rate ensures smooth, blur-free motion, making it ideal for fast-paced gaming and dynamic sports content.
Powered by LG’s proprietary smart TV platform, webOS, the display allows users to effortlessly enjoy LG Channels, LG’s free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) service, as well as other OTT and gaming content. What’s more, by subscribing to LG Gallery+, users can enhance the aesthetic of their living spaces with an array of visual content, turning their homes into personalized exhibitions with famous paintings or game illustrations. The display also supports AirPlay 2 and Miracast, enabling convenient screen sharing with iOS and Android OS devices.
The LG MAGNIT Active Micro LED features Dolby Vision to deliver stunning visuals with a dazzling array of colors, sharper contrast and richer details. It has also received Color Consistency Wide Viewing certification from TÜV Rheinland, underscoring its ability to deliver uniform color and wide viewing angles, even at ultra-large screen sizes.
LG designed the MAGNIT Active Micro LED with both installation environments and user well-being in mind. The product has been certified for electromagnetic compatibility under the Federal Communications Commission regulations for residential environments, and has achieved Class 2 certification in the flammability assessment test conducted by the British Standards Institution, verifying its suitability for use in home and indoor applications.
LG plans to advance this product into a fully scalable video wall solution, further strengthening its presence in the B2B market.
“With its impressive size that spans an entire wall in lifelike colors and stunning high-definition detail, the new LG MAGNIT Active Micro LED transforms a home into a true theater, delivering an unmatched cinematic experience,” said Park Hyoung-sei, president of the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company.
