LG has launched an official product page for the LG 39GX950B GX9, which was revealed at this year’s CES, featuring a range of premium features. This 39″ 21:9 display utilizes a 4th Gen Tandem WOLED panel supporting dual 5120×2160 / 2560×1080 resolutions at 165 Hz/330 Hz, respectively, while being NVIDIA G-Sync Compatible and supporting AMD FreeSync Premium Pro. As the world’s first 5K/2K gaming monitor, the 10-bit panel is also VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 certified with a peak HDR brightness of 1,500 nits. A 1500R curvature gives users a less aggressive curve while providing an immersive experience. LG states that with 143 PPI, the display is capable of not only producing crisp graphics but also clear text.
“With a 143 PPI (Pixels Per Inch), it delivers a precise gaming experience and better productivity. During gameplay, in-game texts, UI elements, and fine details appear clearer and well-defined, making HUDs (Head-Up Displays), menus, and on-screen information easier to read. It also enhances clarity for text-heavy tasks such as document editing, web browsing, or coding.”

“UltraGear isn’t just for gaming — its expansive 5K2K resolution with 143 PPI delivers sharp, detailed visuals that are ideal for creators and multitaskers alike. While a typical 16:9 dual or triple monitor setup can lead to interruptions in your view due to bezels between displays, a wider 21:9 aspect ratio allows you to manage your entire workflow on a single screen. Whether you’re retouching photos, editing videos, or searching for references, everything stays visible.”

One of the standout features for the LG 39GX950B GX9 is its built-in AI processor, which can upscale content without the need for external GPU upscaling thus reducing the workload for a PC or console. In addition, AI enhances audio for clearer-sounding voices and effects to produce a virtual 7.1.2 soundscape. AI scene optimization adjusts picture temperature, sharpness, and color enhancements per content, such as office work, movies, gaming, and sports modes.
This flagship display has connectivity via DisplayPort 2.1, featuring the full UHBR20 bandwidth plus 2x HDMI 2.1 ports and a USB Type-C port supporting 90W PD. A headphone jack is provided along with 2x 7W speakers as well. LG has yet to reveal pricing for the LG 39GX950B GX9, which also marks the debut of its UltraGear evo line, but product availability details could soon be forthcoming. According to TFT Central, LG is initially offering this display with a Matte screen, but has indicated there could be Clear screen panels made available to other manufacturers for their monitors.

Join Discussion →Just waiting for Dell to put this panel in an Alienware now!
I really want to see what the upscaling looks like. Seems were almost at parity with the performance of CRT!
One thing that's for certain is that its been a key bragging point for LG so far. I'm really interested to see what folks have to say once these get out in the wild.
So what does that mean if these monitors can do upscaling better than a 2000 to 6000 dollar video card? AND maintain refresh rate...
Got me. I've do have some doubts on how this pans out.
I think they just threw ideas at the wall to justify putting 'AI' in the name, and this is the best they can come up with...
Though I'll be pleasantly surprised if there turns out to be some utility in the feature.
I expect them to directly lift the upscaling from their TVs and as such look awful with game content.
Why pay +50% for the same panel?
The Alienware is usually cheaper once both are available in the US (after the initial MSRP of the Alienware drops).
Pricing and availability update:
$1,799 on May 4 (be with you)
It better have a lightsaber light bar that fires up with special effects in your chosen color on start up. Because otherwise they are missing a major opportunity. (and turns off when you want)
