LG Announces UltraGear 240Hz Curved OLED Gaming Monitor

[AleksandarK]

LG Electronics (LG) is unveiling its latest premium monitors at IFA 2022 in Berlin, Germany, including the superb, new UltraGear OLED gaming monitor (model 45GR95QE). LG's first curved OLED display with a 240Hz refresh rate, the 45-inch model is designed for immersive gaming experiences, offering the visual performance, speed and features serious gamers demand.

Visitors to LG's booth at IFA 2022 can explore a wide range of cutting-edge LG monitor products, including the new UltraGear and the UltraFine Display Ergo AI (model 32UQ890), which delivers a truly customizable setup for superior user comfort at home or at the office.



UltraGear OLED Gaming Monitor
In addition to being LG's first 45-inch curved OLED gaming monitor with a 21:9 aspect ratio and WQHD (3440 x 1440) resolution, the 45GR95QE is also the company's first-ever display to combine a 45-inch screen-size with an 800R curvature; a pairing that helps boost users' sense of immersion. A genuine gaming powerhouse, the 45GR95QE will be displayed at IFA 2022 along with LG's impressive 48GQ900 UltraGear OLED gaming monitor.

As one would expect, the company's newest gaming monitor ramps up the realism and responsiveness, offering excellent picture quality as well as unrivaled speed. Along with a 240Hz refresh rate and 0.1 millisecond Gray-to-Gray (GTG) response time, the 45GR95QE provides 98.5 percent coverage of the DCI-P3 color space, superior HDR10 performance and support for HDMI 2.1 - including features such as Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) - and DisplayPort 1.4. Thanks to its large size, 21:9 aspect ratio, borderless design and 800R screen curvature, the new UltraGear helps transport users into their favorite PC or console games as few other monitors can. What's more, it is also the ideal size for most desk setups and offers smooth multitasking with features such as Picture-by-Picture (PBP) and Picture-in-Picture (PIP).

The UltraGear brand's first curved OLED gaming monitor, the 45GR95QE delivers the same, stellar OLED picture quality as its predecessor (model 48GQ900) while adding an 800R curvature and LG's Anti-glare & Low Reflection coating. These key enhancements help to increase users' sense of being in the game, enveloping them in the onscreen action and reducing annoying, visual distractions at the same time. LG's industry-leading OLED display technology also puts less strain on users' eyes, which is especially helpful for those who enjoy losing themselves in long, uninterrupted gaming sessions.

UltraFine Display Ergo AI
LG's UltraFine Display Ergo AI is making its much-anticipated debut at IFA 2022. The groundbreaking 32UQ890 is the first LG monitor capable of automatically adjusting its position to ensure continued ergonomic comfort throughout the day. With a built-in camera leveraging advanced AI, the UltraFine Display Ergo AI can continuously analyze the posture of the user - making subtle changes to screen height (0 ~ 160mm) and tilt (-20º ~ +20º) to prevent them from remaining in a single position for too long or from falling into poor posture over time. The 32UQ890 has three ergonomics-enhancing modes: AI Motion, Continuous Motion and Periodic Motion. AI Motion, which will be demonstrated at LG's booth during IFA, tracks the user's eye-level and adjusts height and tilt whenever a change is detected.

LG's UltraFine Display Ergo AI sports a 31.5-inch 4K (3840 x 2160) IPS display with 95 percent coverage of DCI-P3 and excellent HDR image reproduction. The combination of a premium, high-resolution screen and an articulated stand that can be intelligently adjusted by LG's AI technology, the 32UQ890 is a customized, comfort-enhancing workstation solution for busy professionals.

"LG's portfolio of innovative products on show at IFA 2022 embraces the latest trends and technologies to meet the needs and lifestyles of today's diverse consumers," said Seo Young-jae, senior vice president and head of the IT business unit of LG Electronics Business Solutions Company. "Our brand-new UltraGear OLED gaming monitor elevates the gaming experience with its curved screen, anti-glare solution and ultra-fast 240Hz refresh rate, while the UltraFine Display Ergo AI delivers outstanding user comfort with its ergonomic features and futuristic design. We're excited to debut both of these exceptional products at IFA and to be back on the ground in Berlin after a two-year break due to the pandemic."

LG's exhibition booth (Hall 18, Messe Berlin) at IFA 2022 from September 2-6 will give visitors the opportunity to experience the company's very latest consumer electronics innovations, including its new display solutions for productivity (Ergo) and entertainment/gaming (UltraGear).

Oh me, oh my, a 240 Hz monitor that isn't LCD trash ..

Ouh la la~

 

[Crackong]

Ummm..No

A 16:9 32 inch OLED is what I needed.

You heard that LG?

Thirty-Two Inches Flat OLED

 

[Tsukiyomi91]

a 21:9 1440p OLED 240Hz monitor? from LG?? Ooooh~~

 

[dgianstefani]

Every time one of these is released (OLED HFR), I get more tempted.

Finally a panel that, on paper, has no compromises that I care about.

Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Very low pixel density is a big compromise, 1440p 21:9 on 34" is 110ppi but with 45" would be too low for normal desktop use.

 

[dgianstefani]

Very low pixel density is a big compromise, 1440p 21:9 on 34" is 110ppi but with 45" would be too low for normal desktop use.

it's 1440p height but has more pixels width, 3440, not 2560, so AFAIK, haven't done math, pixel density should be similar to existing 32" 1440p monitors, which I have, and don't have issues with pixel density at the distance I sit from.

I mean, sure, higher PPI is nice to have, but is it realistic to drive anything more at 240hz? I don't think so. So I guess you're right, PPI is the only compromise, but it's not one I care about in this instance.

This is for my 32" G7 which I don't really have issues with at normal viewing distance.

Anyone know if it's pentile or has a good subpixel arrangement?

 

[Solidstate89]

Why would I want the same resolution as my 34" UW monitor but instead it's a 45" UW? Fuck off with that nonsense.

So you can lean back in your chair, relax, and enjoy 240hz blur free gaming with true 1ms pixel response not just grey to grey, with the contrast of OLED.

For work, it's the same as any other large monitor, literally just move it further back on the desk and you won't see the pixels. I know it's not ideal, 4k240hz is pretty much what you want at this size, but nothing, literally no GPU that exists, can drive that, I doubt RTX4xxx and RX7xxx will be able to drive that either.

These days 4k on 32 and even 27in sizes is quite popular so compared to those 92ppi is quite low(my old 22" 1680x1050 had 90ppi) by todays standards but given these are purely targetted at content consumption rather than creation it can be one of minor gripes of good monitor.

Sure, but even for university work when I'm writing, or researching some medical journal etc - I have to put my face close to my monitor to see the pixels.

I appreciate that higher density is good for video editing, photo touching up, native 4K video playback etc - but are these the critical jobs for the target audience? I don't see why everyone gets so worked up when the monitor isn't perfectly tailored for them. If you want a content creation 4k OLED at 32" they exist, and will set you back 10K+ from sony or whatever.

Eventually a monitor that has no compromises for 2022 buyers will exist, but by that time standards will have gone forward in other areas, and there'll still be a faster, or higher resolution monitor etc available.

 

[gffermari]

1440p in 45'' is ridiculous. It's supposed to be a monitor, not TV.
That pixel density is for TVs while watching from meters away.
The desktop monitor has to have big pixel density because you normally are less than a meter apart (depends on the size of the monitor).

The problem I have with the ultrawides is that I can not watch 4K movies from Prime, Netflix, Disney+ etc.
So, I prefer a 16:9 OLED 42-48'' rather than a 45'' no matter the resolution of the latter.

 

[claster17]

Pixel density is similar to 27" FHD, about 81 PPI.

 

[Mysteoa]

It looks like the same panel as Corsair Flex that is constantly curved.

 

[wolf]

Even my C2 42" LG OLED TV has 105 ppi, which is almost on par with a 34" @ 3440x1440. I really feel the loss in clarity would be immediately noticed by anyone using a 27" 1440p, 34" ultrawide 1440p, hec it's even a drop in ppi from a 24" 1080p monitor...

Speaking from experience, OLED can do a lot of the heavy lifting in the experience, and the refresh is good... I really wonder how clear the image really appears tohugh.

Probably better than the rubbish that is pentile but unfortunately WRGB, as LG display seems keen on WRGB as they feel it's better than RGB for most cases, so probably not good.

 

[Bomby569]

it seems like a case of i want it all: big, high refresh rate and keep the price controled as possible. But then you have to compromise on PPi and lower resolution or there were no market to sell them to as most people don't buy 4090ti's and 13999k or have money to spend on high refresh rate big 4k oleds.
Some compromises would be for the best.

Is this the same panel as the Corsair bendable monitor, but without the manual bending feature?

 

[Makaveli]

Very low pixel density is a big compromise, 1440p 21:9 on 34" is 110ppi but with 45" would be too low for normal desktop use.

This!

I like that its OLED but why they choose not to increase the resolution to atleast 3840x1600 like the 38' models? And that 800R curve hard pass.

 

[JalleR]

that is what i have been looking for for years, but a Resolution like the 38GN950 would have been nice

hopefully it will be less that 3000$

 

[konga]

Is this the same panel as the Corsair bendable monitor, but without the manual bending feature?

Yes. They're both the same panel from LG Display, except this one is not custom bendable.

One of the LG execs had a mystifying quite recently where he said that 800R is the most desired curve radius among gamers. According to what...? There are barely any monitors with that curve out. This is an extreme curve, and with such a low density, it's hard to imagine it being very popular.

Ummm..No

27" 1440p is confirmed as coming, and maybe they'll do 32" 1440p too. If you want 4K though, I don't think LG is capable of making a good W-OLED display with that much pixel density. The more dense the display, the lower the "pixel aperture ratio," which is the ratio of illuminated panel surface area to non-illuminated area. This results in lower brightness and less burn-in resistance. LG needs another brightness/efficiency innovation or two before they can comfortably do 32" 4K, it seems.
