LG's UltraGear products have long set the standard for gaming monitors. And LG's 2024 UltraGear monitors have raised the bar so high it's gone into orbit. With up to 30% brighter OLED displays than rival monitors, astonishingly fast refresh rates for stunning performance and a choice of sizes from compact to all-encompassing, there's an UltraGear for everyone.

The most advanced OLEDs around

The 2024 LG UltraGear OLED range features MLA+ technology to deliver groundbreaking brilliance of up to 1,300 nits, up to 30% brighter than the competition, so you never need to worry about being left in the dark. That makes your UltraGear a great gaming monitor and an amazing display for your movie watching too.

Serious speed in every environment

LG continues to dominate the industry with its world-first innovations in the gaming monitor market. Where some displays are pretty chuffed with refresh rates of 144Hz, the LG UltraGear W-OLED leaves them in the dust with its refresh rates of 240 to 480Hz. That's astonishingly fast and you can really see the difference: it means silky-smooth performance compared to the competition, delivering speeds that give you the edge in every environment. The LG UltraGear OLED delivers up to 480Hz at 1080p and 240Hz at 4K.

The big display that thinks even bigger

LG's 45-inch UltraGear isn't just big. It's bigger than some 48-inch displays. That's because while some 48-inchers have a total screen size of 4,059cm2, LG's 45-inch model clocks in at a massive 4,550cm2. That's 12% more gaming goodness. And it's more immersive too. LG's 45-inch model delivers 22% more space than Samsung's 49-inch display, delivering a truly exceptional in-game experience.

Vivid visuals without dead space

The thing with some big gaming monitors is that your eyes can't take them all in: their size and more importantly their shape means that there's dead space of as much as 13.9%. That's space you can't see when you're absorbed in the game, so if the game UI or HUD is living in those dead spaces you're potentially missing key information that could give you the edge.

With LG's 45-inch model, the 21:9 aspect ratio guarantees an optimal image with just 6% dead space – so you can see more and win more.

Made for the games you want to play

By delivering an industry standard 21:9 aspect ratio instead of going for something more gimmicky, LG UltraGear monitors give you a longer list of games to choose from. Where just 51 of the top 107 games support aspect ratios such as 32:9, 88 of them run beautifully in 21:9.

Monitors you won't want to stop watching

LG has thought about something many rivals don't: comfort. Gaming can be particularly hard on the eyes because it's hard to tear yourself away from a particularly intense session. And because so many of us love to play in the dark, in low light or with atmospheric lighting around us, that can make some monitors very tiring. Not the LG UltraGear. Its 35% anti-glare, low reflection display gets rid of glare for clear viewing even in low light, and its UL Low Blue Light Platinum certification means it emits 22% less potentially harmful blue light than the competition. That doesn't just mean more alert eyeballs. It also means better resolution and less colour distortion too.

Don't take LG's word for it: ask the experts

LG takes its quest for gaming supremacy so seriously that it's asked the Gen.G Academy, which runs LCK's first 4-peat champions Gen.G, to rate the LG UltraGear. The conclusion? The academy has certified it as the very Best Gaming Monitor. High praise indeed.

Whether you're looking for a compact 24-inch gaming monitor for work as well as play, the 32-inch dual-mode display with Pixel Sound or the astonishing 45-inch models for the most immersive gaming experience ever, every LG UltraGear gaming monitor takes your gaming to the next level.
