LG’s latest OLED tech, 4K pixel density and ultrawide immersion, yum!
CES 2026 has been a bit of a blowout for the PC. Nvidia and AMD had basically squat to show off, leaving Intel’s Panther Lake as the only major tech launch. Except, that is, for monitors and what looks to me like the most exciting gaming display of 2026.
I give you the LG UltraGear Evo 39GX950B, all 39 inches of it. This new gaming monitor has so much going for it. It gets LG’s latest OLED panel tech (albeit minus the RGB-stripe subpixel layout) and a 5K2K native resolution.
That’s 5,120 by 2,160 pixels. It’s basically a 4K 16:9 pixel grid taken out to 21:9 aspect ultrawide. More specifically, it’s essentially a 32-inch 16:9 monitor stretched out to 21:9.
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.
The latter has better pixel density, for sure. But that’s barely noticeable for games, and yet you will feel the smaller, less immersive panel size.
