LG UltraGear evo GX9 — World's First 39-Inch 5K2K Curved OLED
From the #1 OLED Gaming Monitor Brand in the USA³ the LG UltraGear evo GX9 brings impeccable OLED picture performance to a size and scale not previously available, with near-instant 0.03ms (GtG) response time and a 39-inch 5K2K canvas. As the world's first 39-inch 5K2K (5120×2160) curved OLED gaming monitor,⁴ its 21:9 ultrawide format with 1500R curve and 143 PPI pixel density, offering a wider, more panoramic view and crisp text clarity that pulls players deeper into the action.

"Perfect" OLED Picture Quality at Scale
4th Gen Primary RGB Tandem OLED technology reaches up to 335 nits typical brightness, supported by VESA DisplayHDR™ True Black 500 and UL-verified Perfect Black, Perfect Color, and Perfect Reproduction certifications.⁵ The result is a display where deep blacks, precise color, and fine scene detail work together to make on-screen environments more readable and more immersive.

Speed and Responsiveness for Competitive Play
Dual-Mode refresh rates of 5K2K at 165Hz or Wide Full HD at 330Hz⁶, combined with a near-instant 0.03ms (GtG) response time, help ensure every movement registers immediately. NVIDIA® G-SYNC® Compatible⁷ and AMD FreeSync™ Premium Pro are also supported. AI Upscaling⁸, AI Sound, AI Scene Optimization, and OLED Care are also included. Connectivity options include DisplayPort 2.1 (UHBR20),⁹ HDMI 2.1, and USB-C with 90W power delivery.

The LG UltraGear Evo GM9 — Next-Generation 5K Hyper Mini LED Gaming
The LG UltraGear™ Evo GM9 sets a new benchmark for 5K gaming with next-generation Hyper Mini LED technology. Designed for players who demand both cinematic picture quality and competitive speed, the 27-inch 5K (5120×2880) display delivers exceptional clarity at 218 pixels per inch, along with ultra-high brightness reaching up to 1,250 nits and VESA DisplayHDR™ 1000 certification.

An evolution of Mini LED backlighting, Hyper Mini LED enhances precision and control with 9,216 mini LEDs and 2,304 local dimming zones. The GM9's robust brightness shines in the moments that matter most – from intense explosion scenes that surge with raw, visceral energy to starry night skies where crisp highlights emerge from deep, inky blacks. Combined with Zero Optical Distance tech, which brings the backlight closer to the panel, reducing light bleed and suppresses blooming, further reinforced by TÜV Rheinland-certified Anti-blooming Hyper Mini LED, producing deeper, more accurate blacks, higher perceived contrast, and cleaner visuals without distracting halo effects.

Dual-Mode Performance for Any Play Style
Dual-Mode refresh rates let players switch between 5K resolution at 165Hz for cinematic, immersive gameplay and QHD at 330Hz¹⁰ for fast-paced competitive play — all with a 1ms (GtG) response time that keeps motion clear and ghost-free.
