Subscribe to our newsletter LG has just two new gaming monitors, for PC gamers with a penny or two in their pocket: the 39-inch UltraGear Evo GX9 OLED at $1,800, and the IPS-based 27-inch UltraGear Evo GM9 at $1,200.Starting with the GX9, LG notes it is the "World's First 39-inch 5K2K curved OLED" Gaming Monitor.

We got a look at the similar Evo 39GX950B at CES this year, and our Jeremy reckons "it might just be the gaming panel I've been waiting for."With the GX9, you're getting a 0.03 ms response time, a 21:9 ultrawide format for its 5120 x 2160 resolution, and a 1500R curve.

That will be notable, especially on a screen that size, but it's certainly not the tightest curve that monitors can get.

It also comes with 143 PPI pixel density, and the 4th Gen Primary RGB tandem technology gets a typical brightness of 335 nits ## Editor's Note The gaming community will surely have mixed reactions to this news.
