LG unveils a trio of new UltraGear evo 5K gaming monitors.
LG has just announced the UltraGear evo series for CES 2026, featuring three groundbreaking 5K displays that combine Tandem WOLED and Mini LED technology with advanced AI upscaling capabilities.
LG Electronics has officially kicked off its preparations for CES 2026 by launching the new generation of UltraGear evo gaming monitors. The highlight of this collection is the appearance of three 5K resolution models, utilizing a variety of panel technologies from OLED and Mini LED to ultra-wide screen formats.
Tandem WOLED technology on the 39-inch UltraGear GX9 model.
Leading the new product line is the UltraGear GX9, a 39-inch ultrawide monitor with 5K2K resolution. The most notable feature of this device is its use of LG's Tandem WOLED panel. This is a technology that stacks two layers of organic light-emitting diodes, significantly enhancing brightness and durability compared to traditional OLED structures.
The combination of Mini LED and artificial intelligence.
In addition to OLED models, LG also introduced a variant using Mini LED technology. This technology allows for better control of local dimming, delivering high contrast and an impressive HDR experience for gamers. The entire new product line focuses on optimizing high refresh rates to ensure smooth motion in fast-paced games.
In particular, LG has integrated AI-powered image enhancement directly into the device (on-device AI upscaling). This technology allows the screen to automatically process and upscale the resolution from lower-resolution sources to 5K standard without relying heavily on the computer's hardware resources, helping to maintain stable gaming performance.
