LG Announces Premium Gaming Monitor Lineup Featuring 5K Visuals

LG revealed a new range of gaming monitors just before CES. UltraGear evo displays deliver 5K visuals. Many incorporate on-device AI scaling, taking some of the burden off the GPU.

LG says this technology will allow consumers to avoid certain card upgrades. This could prove extremely beneficial, as the AI ​​boom has .

There are three displays in the lineup so far, with more to come. There’s a 39-inch OLED (39GX950B) that includes the aforementioned AI upscaling to 5K, but also scene and sound optimization algorithms. The company says this will “refine visuals and audio performance for a more immersive audiovisual experience.”

This monitor can easily switch from standard resolution with a 165Hz refresh rate to a much faster WFHD resolution with a 330Hz refresh rate. This is supported by a response time of 0.03ms. It is curved with an aspect ratio of 21:9.

There is also a 27-inch MiniLED (27GM950B) in the lineup. This screen has been “designed to significantly improve glare control”, which is done by minimizing halo effects and filling 2,304 local dimming zones. LG promises that it “preserves fine details in both bright and dark scenes.”

This features AI algorithms for upscaling to 5K, scene optimization and sound. It can also switch between 165Hz in 5K and 330Hz in QHD, with a response time of 1ms. The screen displays a maximum brightness of 1,250 nits.

Finally, there’s the fearsome 52-inch large-format gaming monitor (52G930B). You didn’t read it wrong. This is a 52-inch gaming monitor. This 5K display offers a fast 240Hz refresh rate. The 1000R curvature wraps around the device, which should be ideal for flying simulations and that sort of thing.

LG hasn’t released any information as to when we’ll be able to get our gloves on these displays, or how much they’ll cost. With all the technology on offer, it’s likely they’ll cost a pretty penny.
