LG UltraGear Evo 39-inch GX9 (39GX950B) OLED Gaming Monitor
The LG UltraGear Evo 39-inch GX9 (39GX950B) is the latest in the company’s long-running GX9 series. It features a 39-inch 5K2K OLED display, specifically the company’s Primary RGB Tandem OLED panel, which the company says delivers improved brightness, color accuracy, and panel life.
The 1500R-curved 21:9 ultrawide display of the 39GX950B maintains the vertical height of a 32-inch screen and features a pixel density of 142 PPI. It’s also VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 certified.
To support the 39GX950B’s 5K2K display, it also features 5K AI upscaling technology, which allows it to display what LG calls “5K-class clarity” without necessarily requiring users to think about upgrading their GPUs to drive the monitor. Other AI features of the 39GX950B include AI Scene Optimization and AI Sound, which work in tandem to supposedly create a more immersive audiovisual experience.
The 39GX950B also comes with a Dual Mode feature, which lets users switch between 5K2K at 165Hz or WFHD at 330Hz, both of which are supported by an ultra-fast 0.03ms (GtG) response time.
