LG has released the UltraGear Evo 45GX950B, a new 45-inch OLED gaming monitor designed for the Japanese market. The display features a native 5,120 x 2,160 resolution, which the company refers to as 5K2K. The 5,120 x 2,160 resolution delivers sharp visuals for gaming and productivity tasks on the large 45-inch display.
The monitor operates at a default refresh rate of 165 Hz. It includes a built-in processor that upscales content from any connected device to the full 5K2K resolution. Users can also activate a dual mode that cuts the resolution to 5,120 x 1,080. The Dual Mode setting at 5,120 x 1,080 enables the panel to operate at a higher refresh rate of 330 Hz for competitive gaming.
