LG Begins Preorders for the World's First 5K2K OLED Gaming Monitor - the LG UltraGear GX9

TheLostSwede · Monday at 3:19 PM

LG Electronics USA (LG) today announced preorder availability for its highly anticipated 45-inch LG UltraGear GX9 (45GX950A-B)—the world's first 5K2K (5120x2160) OLED gaming monitor. Engineered for the most demanding gamers, this groundbreaking display sets a new standard for immersive visuals and ultra-fast refresh rates. The LG UltraGear GX9 retails for $1,999 and is available now for preorder through March 30, 2025 on LG.com and purchasable later at LG-authorized retailers.

The GX9 redefines gaming displays with its 45-inch OLED panel and 800R curvature, delivering a 5K2K Wide Ultra High Definition (WUHD) resolution for an unparalleled immersive experience. Dual-mode refresh rate technology allows gamers to choose between 5K2K at 165 Hz or Wide Full HD (WFHD) at 330 Hz, paired with an ultra-fast 0.03 ms response time for ultimate speed and precision.

With VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification and up to 98.5% DCI-P3 color spectrum coverage, the GX9 produces deep blacks and vibrant colors, ensuring stunning image quality. NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro compatibility eliminate screen tearing and stuttering, providing fluid gameplay in fast-paced environments.

The GX9 is designed to accommodate the latest gaming setups with DisplayPort 2.1, USB Type-C, and HDMI 2.1 connectivity. Additionally, the monitor features built-in speakers and DTS Headphone:X support, delivering an immersive audio experience. In addition, advanced anti-glare technology minimizes screen reflections and glare, making it easier for gamers to see everything that's happening on screen, even in brighter rooms.

The monitor seamlessly blends outstanding performance with a sleek, minimalist design. Its 4-sided Virtually Borderless display and slim bezels enhance immersion, while hexagonal lighting adds a modern touch. Designed for ergonomic comfort, the fully adjustable stand allows for tilt, swivel, and height adjustments, ensuring an optimal viewing experience. Additionally, the L-shaped stand contributes to a clean and streamlined desktop setup.

Cant even afford the 5090 this would take to play on.

CandidConflict · Monday at 4:34 PM

Should be 240hz or higher. 165 isn't high end in 2025

xSneak · Monday at 5:21 PM

34" version please.

Hell yeah, not everyone has that much space on the desk for these 40"+ monitors.

Or even 38"

'5K2K'

I think utter stupidity has won this battle. I concede. I'm gonna load my coffee mug with 2K soon (two cups, but that should be obvious, right)

It's 5120 x 2160 resolution...
Also, dual mode, so it can do 330 Hz at 2560x1080...
But yeah, not high-end in 2025... :banghead:

For once, it's actually 5120 x 2160, so nothing like the other random numbers that aren't even close to actual resolution.

Pixel density isn't high enough, screen is too large.
24in 1440p has the same density.
34in 3840 x 1600 also has the same density.
The most interesting and also off putting about this screen is the size. If you wanted really large that's cool, if you wanted crisper image, not happening. I've said it a bunch but I'd rather see 1800p screens, much much easier to push than 4K.

The resolution is a huge step up over the 1440p from the first gen 45" LG OLEDs. Dual mode is probably great for the vast majority of gaming you'd want high refresh rates for. That 800R curve being the only option for a fixed screen from LG is ridiculous though. I wouldn't touch one of these anymore than the 1000R displays Samsung thought were a great idea.

Meanwhile on the Samsung side of things they only have 34" QD-OLED, didn't update the pixel layout when they updated the panel to Gen 2 and have no plans for a Gen 3 panel yet.

The ultrawide space just doesn't have anywhere near the options of the rest of the gaming monitor market: it's either cheap or compromised (though at least the Samsung 34" aren't terribly expensive).

Granted these are kinda super high-end monitors even without 240Hz and buyers are expected to have a super high-end GPU, but 5K2K @ 240Hz cannot be run on DP1.4 with DSC. DP2.1 is required, and that leads to...issues with older GPU owners.
5K2K @ 165Hz would be fine on DP1.4+DSC.

I'm not a marketing person, but I would imagine having some sort of disclaimer of "DP2.1 is required to run at 240Hz" is still a bad look.

We've seen the new 5K2K OLED monitors announced now in 45" size, but only with a 165Hz refresh rate. Where are the planned 240Hz panels?

Ah yes I forgot, having a few percent less or more these days than what you're saying you sell, is the norm now

Still close, unlike the so called 3K monitors that no-one seems to agree on what resolution they should be.

Both are coming and both 240hz, the LG roadmap has those slated for Q4 this year.

There are already 240hz 7680x2160 monitors, so this display is able to do much more than 165hz at 5120x2160. The 330hz mode is useless because 2560x1080 is garbage. There is no reason anyone should be buying a gaming monitor that does less than 240hz in 2025. This monitor is already obselete before it has even launched
