LG Unveils a Gaming Monitor Revolution with the 39GX950B: A 39" 5K2K OLED Powerhouse
Get ready for a game-changer! LG Electronics has just revealed its upcoming lineup of monitors, including the highly anticipated UltraGear 39GX950B. This monitor is set to revolutionize the gaming experience, offering a stunning blend of size, resolution, and cutting-edge technology. But here's where it gets exciting...
The 39GX950B boasts a massive 39-inch ultrawide OLED display, a significant upgrade from the typical 3440 x 1440 resolution and 800R curvature models. It introduces a new 5120 x 2160 "5K2K" resolution, providing a higher pixel density and a more subtle 1500R curvature. This monitor is a true visual masterpiece, delivering an immersive experience like no other.
Under the hood, it's powered by a 4th Gen Primary RGB Tandem WOLED panel, now officially named "Tandem WOLED" by LG Display. While it doesn't feature a true RGB-stripe layout like the new 27" WOLED panel, it still offers exceptional text clarity thanks to its high pixel density. And with a 0.03ms G2G response time and 165Hz native refresh rate, it ensures smooth and responsive gameplay.
But that's not all. The monitor also includes a dual-mode function, allowing gamers to switch to a 330Hz refresh rate at a lower 2560 x 1080 resolution for specific gaming scenarios. This flexibility ensures an optimal balance between performance and visual fidelity.
LG's commitment to innovation is further showcased with the introduction of the UltraGear evo™ brand, set to debut at CES2026. This brand promises to redefine high-resolution gaming with a range of 5K-and-above monitors, utilizing OLED, New MiniLED, and ultra-wide formats. The press release hints at a future where gamers can enjoy stunning 5K-class clarity without the need for GPU upgrades, thanks to LG's proprietary AI upscaling technology.
The 39GX950B is a prime example of this innovation, featuring LG's new on-device AI solution. This technology optimizes content in real-time, enhancing both image and audio performance for an unparalleled immersive experience. And this is the part most people miss—the AI Scene Optimization and AI Sound features take the gaming experience to a whole new level.
As we eagerly await CES 2026, we'll be keeping a close eye on this monitor and the entire UltraGear evo™ lineup. Stay tuned for more updates, and don't forget to check out our CES 2026 tracker for all the latest news and reviews.
