We've seen plenty of 45-inch ultrawide OLED gaming monitors before. But they've all suffered a horribly low 3,440 by 1,440 resolution. Well, not any more. LG has just announced a new 5K2K 45-inch OLED, the LG UltraGear 45GX950A.

LG’s latest pre-CES 2025 announcement finds the brand unveiling a trio of premium big-screen OLED gaming monitors — including the world’s first 5K2K-resolution model to support LG’s unique ‘bendable’ technology.

Electronics manufacturers love to tout “world’s first” in their marketing. Take LG’s newest OLED monitor, for example. It isn’t the first display with 5K resolution, nor the first that can bend from flat to curved.

LG offers a variety of monitors, but the company has just launched what it calls the world's first 5K2K bendable monitor.

LG is bringing a lot to CES 2025, and that includes the LG UltraGear GX9 series OLED gaming monitors. The new lineup includes the 45GX990A – winner of three CES 2025 Innovation Awards, including the prestigious ‘Best of Innovation’ – and an all-in-one smart gaming monitor powered by LG webOS .

The UltraGear 45GX990A from LG can go from a flatscreen to 900R curved monitor. It’s also huge and—likely—hugely expensive.

The UltraGear GX9 series features two 45-inch monitors that LG claims are a great fit for both gaming and productivity.

LG says the 45-inch monitor can go from completely flat to a 900R curve in seconds. The 900R means that at its biggest curve, the monitor is equal to the outside of a circle with a 90-centimeter radius. Basically, it'll make whatever you're viewing on it much more immersive than the standard flat-screen.

Ahead of the official start of CES, Samsung has announced a trio of new Odyssey gaming monitors. Of the bunch, the G81SF is the most interesting. Samsung says it’s the first 4K, 27-inch OLED gaming monitor.
