LG Electronics has launched the UltraGear Evo gaming monitor lineup, featuring the GX9, GM9, and G9 models in Canada and the U.S. [1, 2].
This release targets the intersection of professional content creation and high-performance gaming. By offering high-refresh rates and high-resolution OLED panels, LG aims to provide a single display capable of handling streaming, productivity, and competitive gaming without compromising visual fidelity [1, 3].
The series is headlined by the GX9, which the company said is the "world's first 5K2K OLED gaming monitor" [4]. There are conflicting reports regarding the screen size of the GX9; a press release listed the device as 45 inches [5], while other reports indicate a 39-inch screen [6].
Other models in the Evo lineup include the GM9, which features a 27-inch screen [6], and the G9, which boasts a 52-inch display [6]. These specifications allow users to choose between compact setups and expansive, immersive environments.
Market entry for the series began with pre-orders on March 17, 2025 [4, 7]. LG subsequently announced pricing and availability for the Canadian market on June 26, 2025 [8].
Retail pricing for the UltraGear Evo GX9 is set at $2,199.99 CAD [9]. The pricing reflects the premium nature of the 5K2K resolution and OLED technology, positioning the monitor as a high-end tool for the enthusiast market.
LG said the monitors are designed to meet the specific needs of creators and gamers who require high-resolution displays for a variety of workflows [1, 3].
“"world's first 5K2K OLED gaming monitor"”
The introduction of the UltraGear Evo series signals a shift toward 'hybrid' displays that bridge the gap between professional studio monitors and gaming screens. By pushing 5K2K resolution into the OLED space, LG is challenging the industry standard for pixel density in gaming, potentially forcing competitors to move beyond 4K to attract high-end creators who also game.
