LG UltraGear Unveils World's First 4K OLED Gaming Monitor With Dual-Hz Feature
LG Electronics (LG) is set to unveil its latest lineup of UltraGear OLED gaming monitors, designed to provide superior gaming experiences. The expanded lineup includes the highly anticipated 32-inch 4K gaming monitor (model 32GS95UE), which boasts a 240 Hz refresh rate, an ultra-fast 0.03 ms Gray-to-Gray (GtG) response time, and LG's Dual-Hz feature and Pixel Sound technology. The company is also introducing stellar 39- and 34-inch models with ultra-wide curved screens: the 39GS95QE and the CES 2024 Innovation Award-winning 34GS95QE.
The groundbreaking 32GS95UE is the first UltraGear monitor equipped with the new Dual-Hz feature, allowing users to switch between 4K (3,840 x 2,160) at 240 Hz and Full-HD (1,920 x 1,080) at 480 Hz with one simple click. This time-saving innovation, easily managed via a hotkey or joystick's directional switch, lets users instantly apply the optimal combination of screen resolution and refresh rate for the genre of game they're playing. For fast-paced action titles and shooting games, users can select FHD 480 Hz, while visually rich story-driven games can be enjoyed in 4K 240 Hz.
In addition to the Dual-Hz feature, the 32-inch UltraGear OLED possesses an impressive 0.03 ms (GtG) response time that helps eliminate motion blur, boost clarity and deliver dynamic gameplay. This, combined with the exceptional color and contrast that LG's self-lit OLED technology is known for, takes the visual experience to a whole new level.
The 32GS95UE further enhances the user experience with its minimal screen bezels and powerful, nuanced sound. LG's 4-side virtually borderless design provides a stunning display that doesn't distract from the on-screen action. The monitor creates an exhilarating, three-dimensional soundscape with Pixel Sound technology and an integrated front-facing sound system featuring two woofers and support for DTS Virtual:X. The speakers are cleverly hidden behind the OLED panel itself, eliminating the need for external speakers and saving valuable desk space.
Elevating Gaming Immersion Through Innovative Design
The CES 2024 Innovation Award-winning 34-inch 34GS95QE and its larger sibling, the 39-inch 39GS95QE, expand the gaming experience with their 800R-curved, 21:9 aspect ratio UltraWide Quad-HD (3,440 x 1,440) resolution OLED displays. Elevating user immersion, these panoramic monitors also feature LG's Anti-Glare & Low Reflection Coating, a 4-side borderless design, 240 Hz refresh rate and 0.03 ms (GtG) response time. The 800R curvature and cinematic 21:9 format of the 34GS95QE and 39GS95QE, together with LG's OLED display tech, add a new dimension to gaming and content viewing.
The latest LG UltraGear OLED gaming monitors also incorporate the new Unity Hexagonal design rear cover, seamlessly integrating sleek aesthetics with efficient cable management. The slim "L" Stand, introduced this year, offers ergonomic benefits, stability and space-efficiency. Along with tilt-, height-, pivot-, and swivel-adjustability, the stand has a smaller footprint than 2023's V-shaped stand, helping to free up space and increase desk usability. The stylish and functional stand also provides installation flexibility and contributes to the monitors' unapologetically futuristic look.
More Models to Meet Gamers' Diverse Demands
Along with the new 32-incher, and the 34- and 39-inch curved models, LG's 2024 UltraGear OLED gaming monitor lineup welcomes two 45-inch monitors and a 27-inch monitor (models 45GS95QE, 45GS96QB and 27GS95QE). These upgraded versions of the highly acclaimed 45GR95QE and 27GR95QE further enhance the UltraGear family, delivering the exceptional gaming experience that LG's premium gaming monitor brand is known for. With high refresh rates, fast response times and outstanding picture quality, these monitors meet the expectations of discerning consumers. Additionally, all three models are VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certified, offering high-brightness screens that produce deep blacks and enhance the depth and detail in darker game environments.
A strong performer, the 45-inch 45GS96QB takes users deeper into their favorite games; its UltraWide QHD resolution curved (800R) OLED display and built-in speakers ensuring realistic visuals and sound. Meanwhile, the 27GS95QE is a great option for smaller spaces, providing a 27-inch flat screen OLED display with all the specifications and features needed for next-level gaming.
"LG's new lineup of UltraGear OLED gaming monitors elevates the gaming experience with groundbreaking technologies and a variety of sizes and form factors," said YS Lee, vice president and head of the IT business unit of LG Electronics Business Solutions Company. "LG is dedicated to leading the gaming monitor segment and meeting gamers' needs, designing innovative products that deliver a deeply satisfying visual and audio performance."

Just want a 27-28" flat panel though.
I myself don't really care of ultra high refresh rate, just waiting for OLED to adopt a standard RGB subpixel layout.
I have a very specific use case for which I would like a 144hz+ monitor that can display two inputs at such a rate. Not many are available. Particularly interested in this one because OLED would be better with it's way lower response times.
And I'm sick of this curved nonsense. Like, okay, 32:9 curved displays make sense but not 21:9 and especially not 16:9. Sitting two inches away from a display is a call for a mental institution (right after eyes replacement). Just get us a 2160p 21:9 display of a reasonable panel speed (preferrably 100+ Hz but honestly even 60 Hz will do given GtG and other response times are good) without any forced curvature whatsoever and with latest DP interface. Will cost money? Of course, not an issue. Just make it.
This monitor is for me disappointing because HP and Dell will offer similar 4K/240Hz displays, but with DolbyVision and with DP 2.1 ports.
Its basically like any other high fresh monitor, lowest supported FPS at the highest supported resolution and then highest FPS at the lowest exceptable res, its not rocket science.
I'm a long time ultra-wide user and i was looking for a decent pixel-density ultra wide oled display, and i had to buy a 49" 32:9 Samsung Oled G9 5120x1440 (i already have a 34" 21:9 and an older 49" 32:9, so i know all the limits of this form factor), that has the same pixel density of a 34" 3440*1440, but with a 240Hz 0.03ms OLED panel. There's the 57" version with a 7680*2160resolution, but it's not OLED, anyway i really don't understand why they don't make a 21:9 5120x2160 version of that display, or why no one do a 21:9 with a decent pixel density. There are a couple of old 3840x1600 gaming monitor on the market and a some REALLY-NOT-GAMING (5ms or more, 60/75Hz) 5120x2160 displays, but not anything else, and anything better, and then there are some much more unusual decent 32:9 monitors. WHY???
