LG’s new OLED gaming monitor offers a 240Hz refresh rate

LG may have two of the best new monitors on its hands. Its UltraGear OLED gaming monitor and UltraFine Display Ergo AI are coming soon, and the brand will showcase at IFA 2022 in Berlin, Germany in early September.

Both curved displays introduce new technologies to LG’s consumer lines and provide unique experiences for consumers. The UltraGear OLED gaming monitor, model 45GR95QE, is the brand’s first OLED display with a 240Hz refresh rate. Meanwhile, the LG UltraFine Display Ergo AI, model 32UQ890, can adjust its position throughout the day with AI tracking to provide users with maximum ergonomic comfort.

LG touts the UltraGear OLED gaming monitor as ideal for immersive gaming. In addition to a 240Hz refresh rate, it’s also the first 45-inch display with 800R curvature. Some specification highlights include WQHD (3440 x 1440) resolution for the OLED monitor, 21:9 aspect ratio, 0.1 millisecond gray-to-gray response time, 98.5% DCI-P3 color coverage, HDR10 and variable speed of refresh rate (VRR).

The UltraGear OLED gaming monitor also features a borderless design and an anti-glare and low-reflection coating to maintain viewing quality. For ports, the monitor includes HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4. It also supports picture-by-picture and picture-in-picture for productivity.

The UltraFine Display Ergo AI is targeted as a home or office peripheral with a built-in AI camera that can analyze the user’s posture by tracking their eyes and adjust the tilt and height of the display accordingly. The tilt has a range of 40 degrees, while the height can be adjusted by 160 millimeters. The consistent movement of the display helps keep users from staying in one position for long periods of time and prevents bad posture habits. Users can set the monitor to one of three modes according to their ergonomic preferences: AI Motion, Continuous Motion or Periodic Motion.

Specifications for the monitor include a 31.5-inch 4K (3840 x 2160) resolution, IPS panel, 95% DCI-P3 coverage and HDR.

The UltraFine Display Ergo AI is essentially a higher-tech version of the LG DualUp monitor that was launched in June. This monitor feature is LG’s second generation Ergo stand with manual swivel, height, tilt and swivel movements, allowing the display to maximize ergonomic comfort for users.

Pricing and availability details for the UltraGear OLED gaming monitor and the UltraFine Display Ergo AI are likely to be announced during or after IFA, which runs from September 2-6.

By the time the UltraGear OLED gaming monitor launches, its closest competitor will likely be the 32-inch 240Hz Samsung Odyssey Neo G8, which has been available since June and retails for $1,500.
