LG 울트라기어™ evo OLED GX9 게이밍 모니터

In the gaming monitor market, ultra-high resolution and wide aspect ratios are preferred, but many PC games are still below 4K, so the monitor's performance cannot be fully utilized. In addition, outputting at ultra-high resolution can strain the GPU, causing frame rate drops.

This monitor provides 5120x2160 (Dual QHD) resolution with 5K2K-level clarity, while the AI Boost function upscales the input signal resolution to match the panel resolution in real time[60]. In other words, even 1080p or 1440p games are displayed clearly on the 5K2K screen, compensating for the limitations of lower resolutions.

In addition, the 39-inch ultra-wide (21:9 ratio) OLED provides immersive visuals that fill the field of view, and supports a response time of approximately 0.03ms and a refresh rate of 240Hz for top-level speed performance. Image quality enhancement through AI upscaling is a key differentiator not found in existing gaming monitors, achieving a balance between high resolution and high frame rates.

High-end PC gamers and simulation gamers (B2C) are the main customers. In addition, game developers or graphics studios (B2B) can also use it for display evaluation.

AI Boost can be standardized in the LG gaming monitor lineup, and competitors may introduce similar features. Sales are expected to gamers worldwide as the 21:9 OLED monitor market grows. Although the price is high, LG's UltraGear brand power is likely to secure a fan base.

It was well-received as a product that upgrades the gaming experience. Media outlets such as Engadget also highlighted the advantage of being able to enjoy retro games clearly with AI upscaling. There are not many overrated elements, and the actual improvements that gamers will experience are expected to be well-received by the market.
