LG Electronics is unveiling something very exciting at the upcoming CES 2025 this January: the LG UltraGear GX9 series.

The new lineup includes the 45GX990A and 45GX950A, which are both 45-inch 21:9 gaming monitors with ultra-high 5K2K resolution. According to LG, the ratio offers a more immersive gaming experience with better compatibility and more screen real estate. But, since both products have Dual-Mode, you can customize your aspect ratio and picture size. The models have curved display panels, higher brightness, and a more comfortable experience with reduced eye strain.

What's more is the LG UltraGear OLED Bendable Gaming Monitor is the first 5K2K-resolution bendable OLED display — meaning it can go from completely flat to a 900R curvature in seconds, according to LG.

"The UltraGear GX9 series sets a new standard for OLED gaming monitors, combining groundbreaking display technology with smart features that expand and enhance the user experience," YS Lee, the vice president and head of the IT Business Unit, LG Media Entertainment Solution Company, said in a press release. "From the world’s first 5K2K OLED gaming monitors with second-generation Dual-Mode to smart gaming monitors with built-in webOS, the GX9 lineup pushes the boundaries to deliver maximum value and enjoyment for our customers."

We don't know much else about the new tech, but more info, like pricing and release dates, should be released in 2025.
