LG UltraGear 45GX990A OLED: A Revolutionary 5K2K Bendable Display
LG’s latest OLED monitor, the UltraGear 45GX990A, is grabbing attention for being the first to combine 5K2K resolution with a bendable form factor. While it may not be the first to offer either feature individually, this new display merges them into a groundbreaking 45-inch OLED screen with a 5120×2160 resolution and a 21:9 ultrawide aspect ratio. This creates a wider and more detailed display compared to typical 4K screens, offering a significant upgrade in both physical size and usable resolution.
The standout feature is its ability to bend from a flat display to a 900R curve—ideal for gaming or immersive experiences. For those who don’t need the flexibility, the 45GX950A offers the same impressive size and resolution, but with a fixed 800R curve.
Both models utilize WOLED panels, which promise higher brightness and superior black levels. While detailed specs are scarce, the 0.03ms response time points to a 240Hz refresh rate, suitable for high-performance gaming. With USB-C connections, 90W Power Delivery, and support for both Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync, these monitors are geared toward gamers seeking seamless experiences.
Prices and availability remain unknown, but LG monitors are known for launching with a hefty price tag, though discounts often follow later in the year. If you’re after a deal, it might be wise to hold off until Black Friday 2025 or a similar discount event.
