LG’s New High-end Gaming Monitors Look Nice, and Are Very Expensive

LG first unveiled its new UltraGear gaming monitors in December of 2023, showcasing the new 32-inch LG UltraGear 32GS95UE, which will allow gamers to switch between a 480Hz refresh rate at 1080P and a 240Hz refresh rate at 4K. Now, the company behind the new UltraGear lineup has finally shared how much these monitors will cost, as well as when we can get our hands on them.

In total, there are four new monitors in the UltraGear lineup, which will include the 32-inch UltraGear 32GS95UE, the first VESA-certified Dual Mode gaming monitor. It’s this feature that makes the monitor such a big deal, as you can easily choose between higher resolution or faster response times depending on the game that you’re playing. The LG UltraGear 32GS95UE will retail for $1,399.99, and is expected to start shipping in April.

While there are four monitors in total, the 32GS95UE appears to be LG’s baby at the moment, as it will include new “Pixel Sound” technology designed to deliver a three-dimensional soundscape from the front-facing sound system. It features two main woofers and has full support for DTS Virtual: X. With Pixel Sound, LG says the new monitor will drive gaming audio directly from the screen at the player, which should result in a richer and more powerful sound experience compared to the usual speaker setup found in gaming monitors.

The lineup will also include new 34-inch and 39-inch ultra-wide models, the UltraGear 34GS95QE-B and the 39GS95QE-B, which will retail for $1,299.99 and $1,499.99, respectively. Both of these models will have an OLED panel with a resolution of 3440 x 1440, 800R curvature, and a 240Hz refresh rate.

On the higher end (yes, it gets higher), the new LG UltraGear 45GS95QE-B will include a 45-inch OLED panel, 800R curvature, 240Hz response time, and a maximum resolution of 3440 x 1440. It will be the most expensive option in the lineup and will retail for $1,699.99. All models aside from the 32-inch UltraGear 32GS95UE and the 45-inch UltraGear 45GS95QE-B are expected to start shipping in March. The 32-inch and 45-inch models will begin shipping in April.

LG’s new UltraGear lineup will also include a few key features across the board, including VESA DisplayHDR TrueBlack 400 with up to 98.5 percent DCI-P3 color gamut expression and a 0.03ms response time. This should provide beautiful visuals with a low response time.

All of LG’s new UltraGear monitors are available to preorder today, and LG says that it will provide all preorders of the 34GS95QE-B, the 39GS95QE-B, and the 45GS95QE-B with a $200 virtual prepaid Visa card, though some conditions do apply.
