LG Electronics has officially introduced UltraGear evo, a new premium gaming monitor brand, at CES 2026. Designed for gamers who demand both cutting-edge visuals and competitive performance, the UltraGear evo lineup debuts with three flagship monitors — 39GX950B, 27GM950B, and 52G930B — each offering 5K or higher resolution and advanced on-device AI processing.
What truly makes these monitors stand out is LG’s built-in AI technology, which brings 5K AI Upscaling, scene optimization, and AI-powered sound enhancement directly to the display itself. This approach improves image clarity and balance in real time without placing extra strain on your graphics card, making high-resolution gaming more accessible than ever.
Unlike traditional software-based enhancements, LG’s on-device AI works at the monitor level. The system analyzes content before it reaches the panel, refining sharpness, contrast, and detail in real time. This means games, videos, and even everyday content can approach near-5K clarity without requiring more powerful GPU hardware.
The AI engine also adapts visuals based on scene type and fine-tunes audio output, ensuring that both picture and sound remain well-balanced across different genres, from fast-paced shooters to cinematic RPGs.
The UltraGear 39GX950B is built for gamers who want immersive visuals without compromising speed. It features Primary RGB Tandem OLED technology, which enhances brightness, color accuracy, and long-term panel durability while delivering the perfect blacks OLED is known for.
Its 39-inch, 21:9 ultrawide display uses a 1500R curvature, maintaining the vertical height of a 32-inch screen while expanding horizontal space for deeper immersion. With 5K2K resolution, a sharp 142 PPI, and VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification, dark scenes retain detail while highlights remain precise.
The monitor’s Dual Mode allows users to switch between:
A 0.03ms (GtG) response time ensures virtually instant pixel transitions, while the on-device AI powers 5K AI Upscaling, AI Scene Optimization, and AI Sound without adding GPU overhead.
The UltraGear 27GM950B makes history as the world’s first 27-inch 5K New MiniLED gaming monitor designed specifically to tackle blooming issues common in high-resolution MiniLED panels.
It uses 2,304 local dimming zones combined with LG’s Zero Optical Distance engineering, which reduces the gap between the LED backlight and the panel. The result is improved brightness control, higher contrast accuracy, and cleaner edges around bright objects.
With a peak brightness of 1,250 nits and VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certification, this monitor excels in both bright highlights and dark scenes. Like the OLED model, it includes LG’s on-device AI suite for upscaling, scene optimization, and audio tuning.
Dual Mode support lets gamers choose between:
A 1ms (GtG) response time keeps motion crisp, making it suitable for both competitive and visually rich gaming experiences.
The UltraGear 52G930B pushes the boundaries of monitor size, becoming the world’s largest 5K2K gaming monitor. Despite its massive 52-inch panel, it maintains a smooth 240Hz refresh rate, ensuring consistent speed and clarity.
The display matches the vertical height of a 42-inch 16:9 screen but expands into a 12:9 panoramic format, offering a workspace that is 33 percent wider than a standard UHD monitor. Its aggressive 1000R curvature wraps around the user’s peripheral vision, enhancing immersion for gaming, simulations, and multitasking.
Certified with VESA DisplayHDR 600, the monitor delivers rich colors and strong contrast, making it ideal for large-scale gaming setups and professional creative workflows.
At CES 2026, LG will showcase the UltraGear evo lineup across two dedicated zones. One will feature the “Dream Setup,” inspired by popular Reddit gaming communities, while the other will highlight a SimCraft racing simulation powered by the 39-inch GX9 OLED monitor.
In addition, LG confirmed that the UltraGear GX7 (27GX790B) will begin global sales on the opening day of CES 2026, expanding the UltraGear family even further.
With UltraGear evo, LG is clearly aiming to redefine what premium gaming monitors can offer. By combining 5K and 5K2K resolutions, OLED and advanced MiniLED technologies, and on-device AI processing, LG delivers displays that balance visual excellence with high refresh rates and competitive responsiveness.
Whether it’s the immersive OLED experience of the 39GX950B, the precision-focused MiniLED performance of the 27GM950B, or the sheer scale of the 52G930B, UltraGear evo sets a new benchmark for next-generation gaming displays.
