LG, ahead of CES 2025 which is set to take place from January 7 to January 10, has unveiled the world’s first bendable 5K2K gaming monitor. While the monitor will be showcased to the world at CES, the specifications of the monitor have been revealed by the brand alongside details of other new products under LG’s gaming monitors lineup.

The UltraGear GX9 series from LG consists of two new monitors: 45GX990A and 45GX950A. The former is the world’s first bendable 5K2K gaming monitor while employing LG’s advanced WOLED technology. These screens offer high brightness, true blacks, stunning colors, and optimized curvature.
Certified for low blue light emissions, the GX9 series provides a more comfortable experience, reducing eye strain during extended gaming sessions. In addition, LG’s Anti-Glare & Low Reflection (AGLR) coating minimizes screen reflections and glare, making it easier for gamers to see everything that’s happening on screen, even in brighter rooms.
The 45-inch monitor can transition from completely flat to a 900R curvature within seconds, offering users incredible flexibility and more control over their gaming experience. Its upgraded Dual-Mode feature allows users to switch effortlessly between resolution and Refresh Rate presets, and customize the aspect ratio and picture size. It further packs an ultra-fast 0.03ms (GtG) response time.
Coming to the second model, the LG UltraGear OLED Gaming Monitor (model 45GX950A) also has a curved (800R), 21:9 format 5K2K-resolution self-lit 45-inch panel which is non-bendable. Its 4-side Virtually Borderless design and slim bezels help boost users’ sense of immersion while adding a sleek aesthetic to the gaming setup. Because it boasts of a 125 pixels per-inch (PPI) and an RGWB subpixel layout, the monitor improves the readability of in-game text and makes productivity tasks, such as editing documents or website content, much easier.
