LG UNVEILS ULTRAGEAR EVO, REDEFINING 5K GAMING WITH WORLD’S FIRST AI UPSCALING TECHNOLOGY
Expanding the boundaries of high-resolution gaming with a new lineup spanning OLED, new MiniLED and ultra-wide formats.
ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., 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 newly introduced on-device AI solution, which powers the world’s first 5K AI Upscaling technology. This proprietary on-device AI achieves 5K-class clarity in real time without requiring GPU upgrades, allowing gamers to enjoy a wider range of content in high definition — transcending original resolution limits. The AI solution also enables AI Scene Optimization and AI Sound to refine images and audio for a more immersive audiovisual experience.
39-Inch 5K2K OLED Gaming Monitor With 5K AI Upscaling
The LG UltraGear evo 39-inch GX9 (39GX950B) continues the GX9 legacy as a 39-inch 5K2K OLED gaming monitor that delivers uncompromised visual quality and immersive gameplay. The on-device AI analyzes and enhances content in real time before it reaches the panel, delivering 5K-class clarity without GPU upgrades. The monitor leverages LG’s Primary RGB Tandem OLED technology for improved brightness, color accuracy and panel longevity with perfect blacks and lifelike colors. Dual Mode lets users switch between 165Hz at 5K2K resolution and 330Hz at WFHD, supported by an ultra-fast 0.03ms (GtG) response time, enabling gamers to prioritize visual fidelity or ultra-smooth competitive play.
The 1500R-curved 21:9 ultrawide form preserves the vertical height of a 32-inch screen while expanding horizontal immersion for 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 significantly reduce blooming. With 2,304 local dimming zones and Zero Optical Distance engineering that minimizes the gap between panel and LED, the monitor achieves ultra-high luminance and refined contrast accuracy that preserves fine detail across bright and dark scenes. The on-device AI solution enables 5K AI Upscaling, AI Scene Optimization and AI Sound in real time without GPU overhead.
For versatile gaming, the 27GM950B supports Dual Mode operation — 165Hz at 5K and 330Hz at QHD — with a 1ms (GtG) response time. Certified VESA DisplayHDR 1000 and delivering peak brightness up to 1,250 nits, the display renders vivid highlights 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, combining expansive scale with a 240Hz refresh rate. The screen provides the vertical viewing height of a standard 42-inch 16:9 display with an expanded 12:9 panoramic view, delivering a workspace 33% wider than a standard UHD monitor. A 1000R curvature encloses the user’s peripheral vision for seamless immersion, with visuals validated by VESA DisplayHDR™ 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 UltraGear evo lineup will be showcased at CES 2026. Visitors can experience the evo lineup’s visuals through two zones: the “Dream Setup” inspired by Reddit gaming communities and a SimCraft-powered racing simulation featuring the new 39-inch GX9.
In addition to the evo series, sales of the UltraGear™ GX7 (27GX790B) will commence in global markets on the opening day of CES 2026. The 27-inch GX7 features a QHD Primary RGB Tandem OLED display, a 540Hz refresh rate and Dual Mode (HD 720Hz), aimed at avid gamers seeking top-tier responsiveness.
