Samsung’s keeping quiet on prices and release dates for now, but we’ll hear more during CES 2025.

LG’s Wild Bendable Screen

LG is shaking things up with the UltraGear OLED Bendable Gaming Monitor. This beast is 45 inches of 5K2K resolution (yep, that’s 5120x2160) with a 21:9 aspect ratio. Translation? It’s wide, crisp, and gorgeous.

The coolest part? It bends. Yup, you can switch it from flat to a serious 900R curve. So, whether you want an immersive gaming session or just a flat screen for work, it’s got your back.

It also supports Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, so no matter your setup, it’s ready to roll. And with ports like DisplayPort 2.1, HDMI 2.1, and USB-C with 90W power delivery, future-proofing is built in.

Pricing and availability are still under wraps, but gamers are already lining up to see this beauty in action.

Who Wins the Monitor Battle?

With Samsung and LG going head-to-head, one thing’s for sure – gamers win. OLED screens are getting faster, 3D is making a comeback, and bendable monitors are no longer just a concept. CES 2025 is setting the stage for some game-changing tech, and we can’t wait to see how it all plays out.
