LG has opened pre-orders for the UltraGear 52G930B, a massive 52-inch (132.1 cm) ultrawide gaming monitor with 5120 x 2160 resolution and a 240Hz refresh rate. Part of the company's premium UltraGear evo AI gaming series, this curved VA panel delivers the vertical viewing height of a standard 42-inch 16:9 display stretched into an expansive 21:9 panoramic format. The steep 1000R curvature wraps the screen around your peripheral vision, while VESA DisplayHDR 600 certification provides edge-lit local dimming and peak brightness exceeding 600 nits.
The monitor pairs high-resolution gaming with competitive speed, offering 1ms gray-to-gray response time, AMD FreeSync Premium support, and 95% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage. LG includes factory calibration and supports hardware calibration via its True Color Pro software. Gaming features include Black Stabiliser, Crosshair overlay, FPS Counter, and Dynamic Action Sync for reduced input lag. The LG Switch app converts the screen into a customizable hub, letting you save and instantly recall settings for work, gaming, and streaming via hotkeys.
Connectivity covers modern gaming systems with DisplayPort 2.1 (UHBR20), two HDMI 2.1 ports, and USB Type-C with DisplayPort Alt Mode and 90W power delivery. Linux users running AMD RX 7000-series cards benefit from full UHBR20 support in the open-source AMDGPU driver, with recent kernel updates enabling the complete 80Gbps bandwidth for uncompressed high refresh rate gaming. Hardware calibration on Linux works through open-source tools like DisplayCAL paired with compatible colorimeters, though Wayland users should note current limitations in native display profiling support. The monitor includes built-in speakers, a headphone jack, and Picture-in-Picture and Picture-by-Picture modes for managing multiple devices simultaneously. The adjustable stand provides tilt, height, and swivel adjustments, with hexagonal RGB backlighting on the rear panel.
The LG UltraGear 52G930B is available for pre-order now in the US at $2,000 (€1,840), with an expected shipping date of 2026-03-23.
