LG’s 5K Gaming Monitors Officially Too Fancy To Understand Your Model Numbers
KEY POINTS
- •LG unveiled three new UltraGear evo gaming monitors with 5K resolution and AI upscaling at CES last Friday.
- •The flagship 39-inch GX9 is an ultrawide 21:9 5K2K dual-mode OLED screen that can run up to 330Hz.
- •The 27-inch GM9 model features 'New' MiniLED technology, expanding LG’s high-end gaming lineup.
LG casually dropped three new UltraGear evo gaming monitors at CES last Friday, each named like a secret government project — 39GX950B, 27GM950B, 52G930B — where the first number is size but the rest is a cryptic acid trip for naming conventions. The flagship 39-inch GX9 flaunts a dual-mode 5K2K OLED panel, stretching ultrawide 21:9 like a gamer who refuses to share screen real estate, pumping its refresh from 165Hz to a ludicrous 330Hz for when reflexes need to sprint faster than Wi-Fi. Meanwhile, the 27-inch knocks LEDs down a notch with 'New' MiniLEDs — presumably to launch a revolution against standard LEDs, but LG didn’t elaborate because suspense sells. All these babies are joined by AI upscaling, because why not let the monitors double as digital wizards, buffing pixels while you fail at Halo? They’re out to redefine what 5K gaming looks like — like high-res flex machines nobody knew they needed but now can’t resist debating at LAN parties and TikTok tech rants.

LG named their monitors like CIA code names and added AI upscaling because regular pixels just aren’t dramatic enough anymore.
At 330Hz, LG’s monitor can out-refresh your entire attention span and still make your thumb hurt.
When you can’t remember your monitor’s model number, just say 'the $5000 black magic screen' and move on.
