LG Debuts World’s First Bendable 5K2K Gaming Monitor

If you’re looking for the ultimate gaming setup, LG just dropped some jaw-dropping news at CES 2025. Their UltraGear GX9 series, led by the groundbreaking 45GX990A, is making waves as the world’s first bendable 5K2K gaming monitor. Yes, you read that right, bendable.

Not only did this beast snag three CES 2025 Innovation Awards (including the coveted ‘Best of Innovation’), but it’s also loaded with features that redefine premium gaming. Let’s dive into what makes this series a must-watch for gamers and tech enthusiasts.

Unparalleled Immersion with Cutting-Edge WOLED Tech

LG’s UltraGear GX9 series is all about delivering the goods when it comes to immersion. These 45-inch curved displays use LG’s advanced WOLED technology to crank out some truly intense brightness, true blacks, and colors so vivid, they’ll practically pull you into your favorite RPG or FPS. The curvature is optimized for maximum engagement, and with certifications for low blue light emissions, the GX9 series provides a more comfortable experience, reducing eye strain during extended gaming sessions.

And let’s talk glare—or rather, lack of it. Thanks to LG’s Anti-Glare & Low Reflection (AGLR) coating, you’ll get crystal-clear visuals even in brightly lit rooms.

The World’s First Bendable 5K2K OLED Monitor

At the heart of this series is the 45GX990A, a 45-inch, 21:9 gaming monitor featuring ultra-high 5K2K resolution (5,120 x 2,160) that’s as flexible as it is powerful. This stunner can transform from flat to a dramatic 900R curvature in seconds. Whether you’re racing through virtual streets or strategizing in MOBAs, this feature gives you control over how immersive you want your experience to be.

What’s more, the 45GX990A boasts LG’s second-gen Dual-Mode functionality. With eight customizable configurations, you can tweak the resolution, refresh rates, and even screen size (from 27 to 45 inches) with a single touch. “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,” says YS Lee, vice president and head of LG’s IT Business Unit.

Add an ultra-fast 0.03ms (GtG) response time, and you’re looking at gameplay so smooth, it’ll feel like cheating.

More Immersion with the 45GX950A

If bending isn’t your thing, the 45GX950A brings its own set of heavyweight features to the table. This 45-inch, 800R curved OLED monitor delivers 5K2K resolution with razor-sharp visuals and lifelike color. Designed for versatility, its 4-side virtually borderless design and slim bezels scream modern aesthetic while maximizing screen real estate.

The tech under the hood doesn’t disappoint either. It’s loaded with DisplayPort 2.1, HDMI 2.1, and USB-C (with 90W power delivery) to ensure compatibility with the latest GPUs and seamless device charging. Certified by NVIDIA G-SYNC® and AMD FreeSync™ Premium Pro, the monitor minimizes screen tearing for buttery-smooth visuals.

Smart Gaming Meets Streaming with the 39GX90SA

For those who want a versatile solution, LG’s 39GX90SA might be the perfect fit. Powered by webOS, this smart gaming monitor doubles as an entertainment hub, giving you access to streaming platforms without needing a PC. Its 39-inch, 21:9 OLED screen boasts the same jaw-dropping visuals as its siblings, making it a top choice for both AAA games and binge-worthy HDR content.

Practicality isn’t overlooked either. The ergonomic L-shaped stand keeps your desk clutter-free, while USB-C connectivity ensures easy plug-and-play convenience.

The Bottom Line

The LG UltraGear GX9 series isn’t just another line of gaming monitors—it’s a statement. From the world’s first bendable 5K2K OLED monitor to smart features like webOS integration, this lineup delivers a level of innovation that’s hard to match. Whether you’re a hardcore gamer, a streamer, or just someone who demands the best tech on your desk, LG’s latest offerings are worth keeping on your radar.
