LG Electronics has unveiled UltraGear evo, a new premium gaming monitor brand that targets buyers seeking ultra-high resolution, speed and immersion without compromises.
Set to debut globally at CES 2026, the UltraGear evo lineup raises the bar for high-end gaming displays with 5K and 5K2K resolution options across OLED, New MiniLED and ultra-wide formats. For gamers and creators evaluating their next monitor upgrade, the focus is firmly on features that deliver tangible performance benefits.
What Makes UltraGear evo Different for Buyers
UltraGear evo builds on LG’s leadership in 5K and 5K2K gaming displays, but the key differentiator is the introduction of an on-device AI solution. This technology powers the world’s first 5K AI Upscaling, allowing lower-resolution content to be enhanced to near-5K clarity without requiring GPU upgrades. For buyers, this means future-ready image quality without the cost of replacing high-end graphics hardware.
The inaugural lineup includes three flagship models: the 39GX950B, 27GM950B and 52G930B. Each targets a different buyer profile while maintaining a common foundation of high resolution and premium performance.
39GX950B: 39-Inch 5K2K OLED for Immersive Gaming
The LG UltraGear evo 39GX950B is designed for gamers who want cinematic immersion combined with competitive performance. This 39-inch 5K2K OLED monitor uses LG’s Primary RGB Tandem OLED technology to deliver higher brightness, accurate colors and long-term panel durability.
Key buyer-focused features include Dual Mode operation, enabling users to switch between 165Hz at 5K2K resolution and 330Hz at WFHD. With a 0.03ms GtG response time, the display caters to both visually rich single-player titles and fast-paced esports gaming.
The 21:9 ultrawide panel with a 1500R curve offers the vertical height of a 32-inch display while expanding horizontal viewing space. A pixel density of 142 PPI and VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification ensure sharp details, deep blacks and realistic highlights. AI Scene Optimization and AI Sound further enhance visuals and audio in real time, appealing to buyers who want an all-in-one immersive setup.
27GM950B: 27-Inch 5K New MiniLED with Precision Control
For buyers who prioritize desktop-friendly size and professional-grade clarity, the 27GM950B stands out as the world’s first 27-inch 5K New MiniLED gaming monitor. LG addresses one of MiniLED’s biggest concerns, blooming, with 2,304 local dimming zones and Zero Optical Distance engineering to minimize halo effects.
The result is refined contrast, high luminance and excellent detail retention in both bright and dark scenes. The monitor supports Dual Mode switching between 165Hz at 5K resolution and 330Hz at QHD, paired with a 1ms GtG response time.
With VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certification and peak brightness of up to 1,250 nits, this model targets buyers who want accurate HDR performance for gaming, content creation and professional workflows. Like the 39-inch model, it includes 5K AI Upscaling, AI Scene Optimization and AI Sound.
52G930B: 52-Inch 5K2K for Large-Format Gaming
The 52G930B is aimed at buyers looking for maximum screen real estate. As the world’s largest 5K2K gaming monitor, it combines a massive 52-inch panel with a 240Hz refresh rate. The 12:9 panoramic format delivers a workspace that is 33 percent wider than a standard UHD monitor, making it suitable for simulation games, multitasking and immersive entertainment.
A 1000R curvature wraps the display around the user’s field of view, while VESA DisplayHDR 600 certification ensures vibrant color and strong contrast. This model is ideal for buyers building premium gaming rooms or simulation setups.
Availability and What Buyers Should Watch
The UltraGear evo lineup will be showcased at CES 2026, with live demonstrations highlighting gaming and racing simulation use cases. LG has also confirmed that sales of the UltraGear GX7, a 27-inch QHD OLED monitor with a 540Hz refresh rate, will begin on the opening day of CES 2026.
For buyers evaluating next-generation gaming monitors, LG UltraGear evo focuses squarely on features that matter: ultra-high resolution, flexible refresh rates, AI-driven enhancements and form factors that match different gaming styles. The lineup positions LG strongly in the premium gaming display market as demand for high-resolution, high-performance monitors continues to grow.
