LG has announced that its UltraGear evo GX9 (model 39GX950B), touted as the world’s first 39-inch ultrawide 5K2K OLED gaming monitor, will begin shipping next week. This display features a **21:9 aspect ratio** and a **curved design**, aimed at enhancing the gaming experience while also being suitable for various other applications.
Initially unveiled at CES in January, the UltraGear evo GX9 supports a **resolution of 5120 x 2160 pixels** and boasts a **contrast ratio of 1,850,000:1** thanks to its OLED technology. The monitor’s **1500R curvature** is designed to provide an immersive viewing experience, although its pixel density of **143 pixels per inch** may not meet the standards for true retina-level quality. However, users typically sit farther from larger displays, which should mitigate sharpness concerns in most scenarios.
In terms of brightness, the **Tandem OLED panel** can achieve a typical brightness of **335 nits**, which is adequate for most environments but may fall short compared to some competing displays. The UltraGear evo GX9 supports **HDR**, with peak brightness reaching **1,500 nits** at a 1.5% average picture level (APL) and **600 nits** at 10% APL. Additionally, it covers **98.5% of the DCI-P3 color spectrum**, ensuring vibrant color reproduction.
For gaming, the monitor features support for **AMD FreeSync Premium Pro** and **NVIDIA G-SYNC**, along with an impressive **0.03ms response time**, making it suitable for fast-paced gaming scenarios. Connectivity options include a **USB-C port** with **90-watt power delivery**, alongside **DisplayPort 2.1** and **HDMI 2.1** ports.
LG has priced the UltraGear evo GX9 at **$1,799.99**, available for order on its website and through Amazon, with initial deliveries expected to start around June 8. The company has indicated that it will provide further insights into the monitor’s performance for Mac users in future reviews.
