LG is unveiling its latest UltraGear monitors. The most notable model is the 45GX990A, which can have both flat and curved screen edges.
The unofficial go-ahead for CES 2025 has been given. LG has a habit of announcing its latest lineup of monitors even before the start of the show. The South Korean is launching three new screens within its UltraGear series. These are aimed at gamers, but the specifications of the screens will also make many a graphics professional’s mouth water.
The eye-catcher of the portfolio is the UltraGear 45GX990A, which LG describes as the “first bendable 5K monitor. The 45-inch screen has a 21:9 aspect ratio and 5K2K resolution(5,120 x 2,160). A 21:9 ratio leads to more immersive interaction with on-screen content than the standard 16:9 ratio with better compatibility than 32:9, LG said.
Flat or curved
The most striking feature of the UltraGear 45GX990A is found at the edges. The monitor can be curved to a 900R curve, depending on whether you prefer a flat or curved screen. The screen further incorporates woled technologyfor clear images, deep blacks and vibrant colors, and the obligatory mention of low blue light is not to be missed either. The low response time of 0.03 milliseconds is especially interesting for gamers.
The UltraGear 45GX950A is fixed in an 800R curve. The monitor offers similar image specifications to the bendable model: the screen measures 45 inches and supports a 21:9 ratio and 5K resolution. Both screens also support Dual Mode, which allows you to easily switch between different resolutions, refresh rates and aspect ratios. Supported connections to are HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1 and USB-C with 90W of power.
Smart monitor
The UltraGear 39GX90SA offers a “smaller” 39-inch option. This model is a ‘smart monitor’ on which LG’s webOS software is installed. As a result, the monitor can also be used as a television and offers access to streaming platforms. Samsung started this trend in 2022.
Prices of the screens and when they would be available in the Benelux countries are not disclosed by LG.
