Just before CES (as usual), LG has sleepless one of the most interesting gaming monitors we've seen yet as part of their 2024 UltraGear OLED lineup. The 32-inch 32GS95UE UltraGear OLED not only offers a great 240Hz 4K option, but it also lets you upscale the refresh to 480 Hz at 1080p with a "simple click." The company also introduced new and updated 27-, 34-, 39-, and 45-inch curved UltraGear widescreen OLED models, greatly expanding its family of OLED gaming monitors.
The 32-inch UltraGear OLED is the first model in that family to use the new LG "Dual Hz" feature that allows you to quickly switch between 4K (3840 x 2160) at 240 HZ to a stellar Full-HD 1920 x 1080 at 480 Hz. Very few monitors have refresh rates this high, let alone the ability to choose between the two highest refresh rates available at their respective resolutions.
LG says you can switch between these modes "using a hotkey or joystick directional switch" to better fit the genre of the game you are playing. "For fast-paced action titles and shooters, users can select FHD 480Hz, while visually rich story-based games can be enjoyed in 4K 240Hz." the company said.
Along with that trick, the 32-inch UltraGear OLED offers a GtG response time of 0.03 milliseconds, something that's important for a high refresh rate monitor to avoid motion blur and other artifacts. Other features include high-end HDR image quality (DCI-P3 98.5 percent at 400 nits), a "virtually borderless design," Integrated speakers with DTS Virtual:X technology, G-Sync compatibility and more.
Aside from that model, LG is introducing the 34-inch 34GS95QE and the 39GS95QE, its first 39-inch OLED monitor. Both are ultrawide models with a 21:9 ultrawide aspect ratio, an aggressive 800R curve, a 3440 x 1440 resolution, and a 240Hz refresh rate. These are important because they are LG's first ultrawide OLED monitors and the first curved ultrawide OLED models with a 240Hz refresh rate. Both support G-Sync, FreeSync Premium Pro, and DisplayHDR True Black 400 (the OLED standard).
LG has also updated its UltraGear OLED 27 and UltraGear OLED 45. Both versions of the 45-inch model offer a 3440 x 1440 resolution and 240Hz refresh rates, but the 45GS96QB version includes speakers and a USB-C PD connection (delivered nominal energy). up to 65 watts.
