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."

The higher resolution 45" panel isn't ready yet? 1440p at 45" is too low DPI.

It's probably for running FPS shooters at a high refresh rate.

Odds on, 480Hz + OLED's insane response times (less than a ms), leads to virtually zero ghosting, and so it probably beats every TN out there on the market.

Anyway, I just hope they are using proper integer scaling for 1080p, and that it doesn't introduce a response time delay.

So Samsung's 1000R curve is not enough here comes the 800R.

Personally 1800R is the maximum I could tolerate.
800R is an absolute deal breaking feature for me.

Not necessarily, both LG's WOLED and Samsung's QD-OLED technologies have quirks, strengths and weaknesses of their own. The subpixel arrangement is different, their resilience are different, etc. - and you can't even go by the general claim of "QD-OLED has better color gamut than WOLED", because you're comparing what, the AW3423DW to the LG CX? Even between the G and C series OLEDs you get a noticeable difference due to factors such as MLA, panel quality, etc. - A lot of the market is laser focused on the LG C series and the Samsung S90 series TVs, and due to budget concerns often not even the current model, but these are relatively midrange panels in their lineups. The monitors are adapting the TV panel tech in general. LG G3 and Sammy S95C are where you'll find the latest and greatest of each company right now, and they both look beyond incredible.

As for microLED, not in-market yet and it's likely going to be a very long time until it happens. OLEDs are just about maturing and starting to cheapen now, and it's still not quite affordable to be used in most TVs or monitors these days.

A 480 Hz OLED... mmmm, yummy. I wonder if the 2030 "LG GX" will have something like that...

800R Curve, why not just get yourself a arm and squeeze the thing into your face and call them goggles at this stage.
No DP 2.0/1

HARD PASS.

I was looking forward to a 38" OLED with 1500R at Maximum. Guess I'll wait 3 more years. At least nVidia's turds will launch with DP2.0+ (or will they? Probably $400/connector) :roll:

No and no.

WOLED is still king of the hill in every metric especially durability. Not in the least because QD OLED is not out in the wild for long enough to know.

QD OLED has higher black levels so its also a lower picture quality across the board, simple as, not even considering the fringing effects. It also clearly degrades faster than WOLED.
MicroLED is being pushed for ages and is still a POS with low yields.

As for top and mid range models, honestly it doesn't really matter, top end is lipsticked pigs. The panel tech underneath will define the baseline. Everything else is trickery and calibration, but it won't change the panel spec or its behaviour over time.

Yeah, while the ultra high end is still really cool, the market yearns for 1440p 144hz displays that are affordable to most. If they did that OLED adoption rates would skyrocket, since people will actually be able to buy them.

Cmooon, LG, Samsung, think about it, we both win c:

what an interesting feature, 4k240 or 1080p480... OLED goodness. I'm keen to see reviews. I wouldn't buy it coming from an LG 42" 4k120 OLED, but it's a compelling choice and the execution of this 1080p480 feature could be really cool if done well.

I just want 21:9 Ultrawides with 5120x2160 resolution, and here's the most important part, at 120hz or greater, preferably a 40" would be nice. With all these crazy resolutions and refresh rates they're doing these days, I would have thought 21:9 Ultrawide monitors would have made the jump to a 2160p vertical pixel count by now. I see them releasing 45" 3440×1440 which is way too large a display for 1440p, but not 5120x2160....am I the only one eagerly anticipating 21:9 ultrawides making the upgrade to 2160p? The closest is LG's 5120x2160 34" 34BK95U which came out several years ago and which I owned for a while, but it was only 60hz and this was its major shortcoming, but like I said this came out several years ago so I would have thought several improved iterations would have been released by now...sorry for the rant.

For super-smooth Solitaire gameplay, obviously.

I might be interested (depending on price), I just don't what the jury says about OLED monitors. This one in particular is "only" DisplayHDR TrueBlack 400 which is not overly bright. But you don't need super-bright on a monitor as much as you want on TV and that alone makes it more resistant to burn-in.

I just hope they are using proper integer scaling for 1080p, and that it doesn't introduce a response time delay.

Hopefully there's no scalling at all, IMO the right way to do it would be to change the EDID sent to the computer and adjust the resolution there.

I just want 21:9 Ultrawides with 5120x2160 resolution, and here's the most important part, at 120hz or greater, preferably a 40" would be nice.

Dell will unveil a new 40'' 5120x2160 at CES with IPS black and it will probably do 120hz following their most recent 27'' 1440p releases

The 32inch is not curved ticks all boxes for myself

Looks like I baited myself, glad theres a non curved panel. As long as theres no fan, or the included fan isnt as loud as their 27” 240hz panel, might immediately swap to this.

Curved is fine on ultrawides provided the curve isn't too much.

For gaming (which what these monitors are for), yes. For video or photo editing, curved is an automatic no.
