Three flagship models that will be announced include 39GX950B, 27GM950B and 52G930B
5K upscaling and other AI features are available on 39GX950B and 27GM950B.
Besides the three, LG will also release UltraGear GX7 (27GX790B) at CES 2026.
LG Electronics has announced a new premium gaming monitor brand called UltraGear evo. The lineup will make its global debut at CES 2026, bringing a fresh push toward 5K and higher resolution gaming displays, spanning across OLED, Mini LED and curved ultra-wide types. LG says UltraGear evo is designed for players who want sharper visuals, faster performance and larger formats without needing to upgrade their graphics hardware. Here is everything that will be announced, why it matters, and how it fits into the broader gaming display market.
SurveyLG UltraGear evo 39GX950B: 39-inch 5K2K OLED
- 39-inch 21:9 curved OLED, 1500R
- Primary RGB Tandem OLED for brightness, colour accuracy and panel life
- Dual Mode: 165Hz at 5K2K or 330Hz at WFHD
- 0.03ms GtG response time
- 142 PPI pixel density
- VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500
This model is aimed at players who want OLED contrast with competitive speeds. With AI upscaling and AI sound, it promises sharper images and a more cinematic feel, especially in dark scenes. The 21:9 screen keeps the vertical height of a 32-inch monitor but widens the horizontal space for gaming and multitasking

LG UltraGear evo 27GM950B: world’s first 5K New Mini LED
- 27-inch 5K New MiniLED panel
- 2,304 local dimming zones
- Zero Optical Distance tech to reduce haloing
- Dual Mode: 165Hz at 5K or 330Hz at QHD
- 1ms GtG response time
- VESA DisplayHDR 1000, peak brightness up to 1,250 nits
This model aims to tackle one of Mini LED’s biggest issues: blooming around bright objects. LG says its design minimises the gap between LEDs and the panel, improving clarity and contrast. With 5K resolution on a 27-inch display, it targets creators who also game, or competitive players who want sharpness without moving to OLED.
Note that AI features, including 5K AI Upscaling, AI Scene Optimisation and AI Sound, will only be available on the 39GX950B and 27GM950B.
LG UltraGear evo 52G930B: the largest 5K2K gaming monitor
- 52-inch 5K2K ultra-wide
- 240Hz refresh rate
- 1000R curvature
- 12:9 aspect ratio, roughly 33 percent wider than UHD
- VESA DisplayHDR 600
This is positioned as a desk-sized display for immersive gaming and productivity. The vertical space matches a 42-inch TV, but stretches wider for panoramic play and extended workspaces. At 240Hz, it stays gamer-friendly despite the size.
Lee Choong-hwoan, head of the Display Business at the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company, said that the company aims to deliver high-resolution technology across both gaming and professional markets, including medical displays.
Should you wait for LG UltraGear evo monitors?
PC gaming monitors have been pushing refresh rates for years. Now the shift is toward pairing speed with higher resolution. LG is betting that AI upscaling will help bridge the gap for users whose GPUs struggle with native 5K gaming.
If you were already considering a premium gaming monitor and like a 5K or ultra-wide setup, it may be worth waiting to see pricing, independent reviews and real-world AI upscaling results. The tech looks promising, but performance and image quality will matter more than marketing claims.
The UltraGear evo lineup will be showcased at CES 2026.
Alongside UltraGear evo, LG will also start selling the UltraGear GX7 (27GX790B) globally at CES 2026. It features a QHD Tandem OLED panel, 540Hz refresh rate and Dual Mode with HD at 720Hz, clearly targeting esports-first users.
