Nvidia and AMD had basically squat to show off, leaving <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/gaming-laptops\/intel-had-the-most-exciting-product-launch-at-ces-2026-and-i-absolutely-wasnt-expecting-that\/\" target=\"_blank\">Intel&#8217;s Panther Lake<\/a> as the only major tech launch. Except, that is, for monitors and what looks to me like the most exciting gaming display of 2026.<\/p>\n<p>I give you the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lg.com\/us\/discover-ultragear-evo-monitors\" target=\"_blank\">LG UltraGear Evo 39GX950B<\/a>, all 39 inches of it. This new gaming monitor has so much going for it. It gets LG&#8217;s latest OLED panel tech (albeit minus the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/gaming-monitors\/asus-launches-new-gaming-monitors-with-two-completely-different-rgb-stripe-oled-panel-technologies\/\" target=\"_blank\">RGB-stripe subpixel layout<\/a>) and a 5K2K native resolution.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s 5,120 by 2,160 pixels. It&#8217;s basically a 4K 16:9 pixel grid taken out to 21:9 aspect ultrawide. More specifically, it&#8217;s essentially a 32-inch 16:9 monitor stretched out to 21:9.<\/p>\n<p>That means the 140-ish DPI pixel density is the same as a 32-inch 4K panel. Personally, when it comes to the best compromise between crispy precision for day-to-day computing and maybe creative workflows, overall panel size for immersion and tolerable GPU load for gaming, 32-inch 4K makes more sense than 27-inch 4K.<\/p>\n<p>The latter has better pixel density, for sure. But that&#8217;s barely noticeable for games, and yet you will feel the smaller, less immersive panel size. And 32-inch 4K is still pretty sharp and offers really nice fonts and text.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:740px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:74.59%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"a6SkuCNoR2iroHezBVLhm7\" name=\"LG UltraGear Evo 39GX950B 2\" alt=\"LG UltraGear Evo 39GX950B gaming monitor\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/lgs-new-39-inch-5k2k-oled-is-easily-my-favourite-new-pc-monitor-at-ces-2026-and-it-might-just-be-the-gaming-panel-ive-been-waiting-for.webp\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"740\" height=\"552\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"inline\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">LG&#8217;s new 39-inch 5K2K OLED runs at 165 Hz natively, with an alternative 330 Hz mode at 2,560 by 1,080 resolution. <\/span><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: LG)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Personally, I also just love ultrawide form factors and much prefer them to, say, a dual-monitor setup. A single ultrawide is just, well, so much more seamless.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, 39-inch ultrawide strikes me as a relatively ergonomic panel size. As much as I like 49-inch and 57-inch panels, they are pretty unwieldy.<\/p>\n<p>LG has even learned lessons from its 45-inch 5K2K OLED, the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/gaming-monitors\/lg-ultragear-45gx950a-gaming-monitor-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">LG Ultragear 45GX950A<\/a>, and reduced the panel curvature from a silly 800R to a more sensible and gentle 1500R. So, 39 inches, 4K pixel density, ultrawide immersion, what&#8217;s not to like?<\/p>\n<p>Well, the price, no doubt. That said, the LG Ultragear <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.newegg.com\/lg-45gx950a-b-45-wuhd-330-hz-oled-black\/p\/N82E16824026470\" target=\"_blank\">45GX950A has already dropped from $1,999 at launch to $1,499 now<\/a>. And you&#8217;d have to think this new, smaller 39-inch model will be cheaper. So, I imagine it will be available for about $1,000, if not at launch then a few months later.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"cuyFXkknFXL4ubVuhLZJL7\" name=\"LG Ultragear 45GX950A 00004\" alt=\"LG Ultragear 45GX950A\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/lgs-new-39-inch-5k2k-oled-is-easily-my-favourite-new-pc-monitor-at-ces-2026-and-it-might-just-be-the-gaming-panel-ive-been-waiting-for.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"inline\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">The existing LG Ultragear 45GX950A is also a 5K2K OLED, but with lower pixel density and, arguably, excessive 800R curve. <\/span><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Future)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>OK, that&#8217;s still far from cheap. But when you think that you should get five years of fabulous gaming and computing out of it, $200 a year for that privilege doesn&#8217;t seem so bad.<\/p>\n<p>All of which means I&#8217;m left with two remaining reservations. First, I do wish the UltraGear Evo 39GX950B had LG&#8217;s new RGB-strip subpixel layout mentioned above. Not because of the better font rendering, but because pure RGB gives zingier, punchier colours than the RGWB layout with the added white subpixel.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, I&#8217;d probably rather have this panel format with Samsung&#8217;s gorgeous QD-OLED tech, which has never relied on a white subpixel to boost brightness.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fancy-box\">\n<div class=\"fancy_box-title\">CES 2026<\/div>\n<div class=\"fancy_box_body\">\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' >\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"tS9pSoXGH8XGnm6WV32cwM\" name=\"ces.png\" caption=\"\" alt=\"The CES logo on display at the show.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/lgs-new-39-inch-5k2k-oled-is-easily-my-favourite-new-pc-monitor-at-ces-2026-and-it-might-just-be-the-gaming-panel-ive-been-waiting-for.png\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"\" height=\"\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"pinterest-pin-exclude\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Future)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"fancy-box__body-text\"><a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/tag\/ces-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Catch up with CES 2026<\/strong><\/a><strong>: <\/strong>We&#8217;re on the ground in sunny Las Vegas covering all the latest announcements from some of the biggest names in tech, including Nvidia, AMD, Intel, Asus, Razer, MSI and more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The other obvious issue is ye olde OLED burn-in. This is an expensive display which makes most sense as a long-term investment. Thus far, OLED burn-in in PC monitors has not proved to be the problem that many feared.<\/p>\n<p>But five-years-plus remains a pretty big ask. I&#8217;d still probably be willing to take the risk.
