Bendable 5K OLED Monitor Revolutionizes the Future of Display Technology

The Christmas Taint: LG’s Bendable 5K2K OLED Gaming Monitors

As Christmas week descends upon us, all we can think about is cheese, darts, and, of course, the exciting tech announcements expected at CES 2025. With just days to go until the big event, LG has given us a sneak peek at its 2025 OLED gaming monitor lineup – and it’s looking mighty impressive.

At the forefront of LG’s new range is the UltraGear GX9 series, featuring a curved OLED panel that can be bent to your liking. This 45-inch behemoth boasts a 5K (5120 x 2160) resolution and a 21:9 aspect ratio, allowing for an immersive gaming experience like no other.

The headliner here is the LG UltraGear OLED Bendable Gaming Monitor (model 45GX990A), which can transition from a completely flat screen to a 900R curvature in mere seconds. This flexibility is perfect for gamers who want to switch between different gaming modes or TV viewing experiences.

But what really sets this monitor apart is its Dual-Mode functionality, which offers eight customizable settings and supports DisplayPort 2.1, HDMI 2.1, and USB-C with 90W power delivery. This ensures seamless compatibility with the latest graphics cards and features like variable refresh rate (VRR), while also enabling convenient device charging.

To further enhance the gaming experience, this monitor is certified by NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, reducing screen tearing for a smoother, more responsive play.

For those who prefer a more traditional gaming setup, LG is also launching a companion model, the UltraGear OLED Gaming Monitor (model 45GX950A), with a fixed 800R curvature. This 45-inch beauty also boasts a 21:9 aspect ratio and 5K2K resolution, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking to upgrade their gaming setup.

We can’t wait to get our hands on these extraordinary monitors at CES 2025 and put them through their paces. Stay tuned for our full review!
