LG UltraGear evo 5K Displays With AI Upscaling To Debut At CES 2026

LG Electronics has announced UltraGear evo, a new premium gaming monitor brand that will debut at CES 2026. The initial lineup includes three flagship gaming monitors-the 39GX950B, 27GM950B, and 52G930B-all offering 5K or higher-class resolutions while catering to high-end gaming and productivity users. One of the distinctive features across the lineup is LG’s on-device artificial intelligence, introducing the world’s first 5K AI Upscaling technology in gaming monitors.

This AI system processes images in real time before they are displayed, enhancing clarity and detail to reach near 5K visual quality without extra GPU power. Meanwhile, the accompanying upscale feature includes scene optimization-which dynamically changes the visuals-and AI sound processing that refines audio output to allow a more balanced audiovisual experience with minimal system overhead.

The 39GX950B is a 39-inch 5K2K OLED gaming monitor that upgrades brightness, color accuracy, and panel lifespan with Primary RGB Tandem OLED technology. It uses a 21:9 ultrawide display with a curvature of 1500R, giving it the same vertical height as a 32-inch display but extending its horizontal space. The screen boasts 142 PPI pixel density with VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification, focusing on deep blacks and detailed highlights. Its dual mode allows users to switch between 165 Hz at full 5K2K resolution and 330 Hz at WFHD, paired with an ultra-fast 0.03 ms (GtG) response time.

The 27GM950B is a 27-inch 5K MiniLED monitor and is described as the world’s first 5K “New MiniLED” display. It was designed to address blooming and halo effects commonly associated with MiniLED panels. The monitor includes 2,304 local dimming zones and employs zero optical distance engineering to improve brightness control and contrast precision. It reaches up to 1,250 nits of peak brightness and carries VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certification. Like the OLED model, it supports dual-mode operation, switching between 165 Hz at 5K and 330 Hz at QHD, with a 1 ms (GtG) response time.

The 52G930B is being marketed as the world’s largest 5K2K gaming monitor. It operates at a 240 Hz refresh rate and includes a 1000R curvature for greater immersion. The screen provides the same vertical height as a 42-inch 16:9 display but extends into a 12:9 panoramic format, yielding a workspace about 33 percent wider than a regular UHD monitor. It comes VESA DisplayHDR 600 certified.

LG is set to show off the UltraGear evo lineup at CES 2026 through themed exhibition zones, and it announced that the UltraGear GX7 (27GX790B) would launch globally on the opening day.
