LG keeps mum on pricing as its premium 39GX950B evo 5K2K OLED readies for CES 2026 debut
In a somewhat surprising move ahead of CES 2026, LG has announced its latest top-of-the-line gaming monitor, the UltraGear 39GX950B evo, which claims the throne as the world’s first 39-inch 5K2K monitor. LG’s 39-inch 5K2K display is supposed to make its first physical appearance at CES 2026.
What makes the UltraGear 39GX950B evo impressive is that it packs 5120 x 2160 pixels into a sharp, 142 PPI dense, 39-inch form factor and promises crisper visual fidelity than prior models in the UltraGear lineup. For anyone with a high-end PC looking to get the best picture quality on a desktop rig, LG’s upcoming 5K2K 39-inch monitor commands attention to say the least.
In response to prior user feedback, LG has opted for a more subtle 1500R curvature rather than the sharper curves on its earlier ultrawide OLED monitors. Under the hood, it makes the most of a 4th-generation Primary RGB Tandem WOLED panel, which promises 99.5% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage. It’s also certified for VESA DisplayHDR 500 True Black, ensuring accurate blacks along with respectable HDR performance.
LG’s new UltraGear monitor also maintains the vertical height of a 32-inch display and stretches horizontally to play games or watch movies at a 21:9 aspect ratio.
For gamers looking to make the most of their GPU’s performance, the UltraGear 39GX950B evo features a 165Hz refresh rate and a 0.03 G2G (Gray-to-Gray) response time. To up the ante, it also comes baked in with a dual-mode option that scales the resolution to 2560 x 1080p for 330Hz gaming in eSports titles and competitive multiplayer games like Valorant, Counter-Strike 2, Arc Raiders, and Battlefield 6.
LG is also introducing new features to its UltraGear brand with the evo lineup. Part of the evo lineup, the UltraGear 39GX950B features built-in AI that supposedly analyzes and enhances content in real time before it's displayed on your screen. LG promises near-5k AI-upscaled quality without needing a powerful GPU.
Furthermore, the baked-in AI tech refines on-screen images with LG's “AI Scene Optimization” and enhances audio immersion with “AI Sound.” Connectivity options for the UltraGear include a DisplayPort 2.1 port supporting full-speed UHBR20, two HDMI 2.1 ports, and one USB Type-C port with DP Alt mode and 90W power output for fast charging.
For now, pricing and availability of the UltraGear 39GX950B evo are unknown, as LG plans to debut it at CES 2026 this coming January.
For those who can't wait, however, LG's current-gen 39-inch offering, the 39GX90SA-W, is also on sale on Amazon with a 35% price cut.
