LG has started selling new gaming monitors that were initially announced in late 2025 and early 2026. Among the launches are as many as five OLED monitors and two LCD models. LG is targeting both gamers who need extremely high refresh rates and people looking for a large screen for gaming and work. Particularly notable are the 27-inch model reaching 540 Hz and the 39-inch OLED with 5K2K resolution.

New LG OLED monitors offer up to 540 Hz and 5K2K resolution

One of the most impressive models is LG 27GX790B, equipped with a 27-inch Tandem WOLED panel. The monitor offers 1440p at a refresh rate of 540 Hz, and when switched to 720p it can even reach 720 Hz. It also delivers brightness up to 1500 nits and features DisplayPort 2.1 and HDMI 2.1 ports, making it a design aimed primarily at demanding competitive gamers. Another interesting model is the 32GX870B, which pairs a 32-inch OLED screen with 4K resolution. At its native resolution the monitor reaches 240 Hz, while at 1080p it can run at up to 480 Hz. LG has also prepared three curved ultrawide models in a 21:9 aspect ratio: 34GX90SB, 39GX950B and 45GX950B.

The most notable of the three is the 39GX950B, because it uses a Tandem WOLED panel and offers 5K2K, that is 5120 × 2160 pixels. The monitor can operate at 165 Hz in 5K2K, and when the resolution is reduced it can reach up to 330 Hz. The 34GX90SB, meanwhile, offers 1440p at 240 Hz and has built-in webOS, so it can also be used for streaming apps and cloud gaming services.

LG also prepared LCD monitors, including a huge 52-inch 5K2K model

OLEDs aren't the only new products. LG also introduced two gaming LCD monitors, with the 27GM950B standing out in particular. This 27-inch model uses an IPS LCD panel, a 5K resolution and miniLED backlighting with over 2,300 local dimming zones. At 5K it offers up to 165 Hz, and when running at 1440p it can reach as high as 330 Hz. Even bigger is the LG 52G930B, which features a massive 52-inch curved VA screen. The monitor offers a 21:9 aspect ratio and a 5K2K 5120 × 2160 pixels resolution. Gamers also get a high refresh rate and DisplayPort 2.1 and HDMI 2.1 ports.

However, with the 52G930B there's one limitation to keep in mind. The monitor lacks miniLED backlighting with local dimming and does not use an OLED panel, so it does not deliver high-quality HDR. On the other hand, the huge work area, 5K2K resolution and 21:9 aspect ratio could make it an interesting option for people looking for a single large screen for gaming, work and multimedia.

LG has launched a very wide range of new monitors, including both extremely fast OLEDs and massive 5K2K models. The fastest, the 27GX790B, offers 540 Hz at 1440p and as much as 720 Hz at 720p, while the 39GX950B combines OLED, 5K2K and up to 330 Hz. The company has also kept fans of large screens in mind, as shown by the 52-inch 52G930B. The new models are already available in the US, the UK and other regions.
