LG Lists 39-Inch 5K2K OLED Gaming Monitor With On-Device AI Upscaling

The listing confirms on-device AI upscaling that could ease GPU load for 5K2K play.

Overview

  • LG has posted the 39GX950B in select regional stores, confirming a 39-inch 21:9 OLED at 5120×2160 with an internal processor that handles AI upscaling without using extra GPU power.
  • Core specs include a 165Hz refresh rate with a 330Hz dual mode at 2560×1080, a 0.03ms response time, VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500, and support for both Nvidia G-Sync Compatible and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro.
  • The panel is a 4th‑gen Tandem WOLED with a gentle 1500R curve and 143 PPI, and the monitor adds AI Sound for virtual 7.1.2 audio and AI Scene Optimization for auto tuning of color and sharpness.
  • Connectivity targets modern gaming PCs and consoles with DisplayPort 2.1, two HDMI 2.1 ports, USB‑C with DisplayPort Alt Mode and 90W charging, plus PiP and PbP for multi‑input setups.
  • Pricing and broad availability are not yet disclosed, as other LG OLED models see sharp price drops to $500 and even $399, and reviewers continue to praise OLED’s deep blacks and low ghosting while noting burn‑in safeguards, text clarity quirks, and occasional VRR flicker.
