LG Japan has revealed official pricing and full specs for two of its newest high-end OLED gaming monitors, and pre-orders are now live. The models are part of LG’s UltraGear EVO lineup first shown at CES, and they’re aimed squarely at players who want premium OLED image quality plus the flexibility to switch between high resolution and ultra-high refresh rates.
The headliner is the LG UltraGear 45GX950B-B, a 45-inch OLED gaming monitor positioned as the flagship in this launch. In Japan, its official list price is 329,800 yen (about $2,099), but LG is currently offering it for 259,800 yen (around $1,653) during the pre-order window. That works out to roughly a 21% discount, making it a much more tempting entry point for what LG is presenting as its best display option in the series.
Specs are equally attention-grabbing. The 45GX950B-B delivers a 5120×2160 “5K2K” resolution with up to a 165Hz refresh rate for sharp, immersive play. When you want maximum speed for competitive titles, it can switch using its Dual Mode feature to 2560×1080 resolution and ramp up to 330Hz. LG also includes DisplayPort 2.1 connectivity to better support high-bandwidth scenarios—especially relevant for gamers trying to balance high resolution with high refresh rates. For immersion, the screen uses an aggressive 800R curve designed to wrap more of the display into your field of view.
Alongside it, LG Japan is also taking pre-orders for the LG UltraGear 32GX870B-B. This one is priced at 169,800 yen (around $1,081) with no current pre-order discount. It targets gamers who want a more traditional desktop-friendly size while still getting cutting-edge OLED performance. The screen measures 31.5 inches and offers a 4K Dual Mode setup: run it at 3840×2160 up to 240Hz for crisp detail, or switch to Full HD at up to 480Hz for ultra-smooth motion in esports and fast-paced shooters.
LG is also highlighting brightness improvements on the 32GX870B-B. It’s among the first OLED gaming monitors to use Primary RGB Tandem Technology, which is designed to boost brightness and overall visual quality. LG lists peak brightness reaching up to 1500 nits, with typical out-of-box brightness noted at up to 335 nits—around 60 nits higher than the 45-inch model.
While the two monitors share several core features—such as Dual Mode switching and AI Upscaling meant to enhance perceived image quality—they clearly serve different types of players. The 45-inch model leans into cinematic scale and immersion with its ultra-wide, sharply curved panel, while the 32-inch model focuses on high-speed 4K gaming in a size that fits more setups.
For now, these specific pre-order details are tied to the Japanese market, and wider global availability is still rolling out. If these monitors arrive in more regions soon, pricing may differ from the Japan listings, but this gives a strong early look at where LG is positioning its next wave of premium OLED gaming displays.
