Tech News, SEOUL/NEW DELHI, December 26, 2025 — LG Electronics has officially unveiled its new premium gaming sub-brand, UltraGear evo, ahead of CES 2026. The crown jewel of this lineup is the 39GX950B, a 39-inch 5K2K OLED monitor that fundamentally changes how we perceive high-resolution gaming by shifting the heavy lifting from the PC to the display itself.
The Innovation: On-Device 5K AI Upscaling
Traditionally, playing games at ultra-high resolutions like 5K requires flagship-tier graphics cards (GPUs) that can cost upwards of ₹1.5 Lakh. The 39GX950B solves this “GPU Tax” with a built-in on-device AI solution.
- How it works: The monitor features a proprietary AI engine that analyzes incoming video signals in real-time. It enhances lower-resolution content (like 1440p) to near-5K clarity before it reaches the panel.
- The Benefit: Gamers can enjoy the visual fidelity of a 5K display without needing to upgrade their existing PC hardware. This process operates with zero GPU overhead, ensuring that your frame rates remain high while the image remains sharp.
Tandem OLED: Brighter and More Durable
The 39GX950B is built on LG’s 4th-Gen Primary RGB Tandem OLED technology. This dual-stack design addresses the two biggest concerns of OLED users:
- Brightness: By stacking two organic light-emitting layers, the monitor achieves significantly higher peak brightness levels.
- Lifespan: The load is distributed across two layers, which reduces the risk of burn-in and extends the panel’s overall lifespan.
