Seoul, May 12, 2023 – Building on its previous lineup of gaming monitors, LG Electronics (LG) has launched its latest UltraGear gaming monitor, the LG 49GR85DC, offering gamers an unparalleled immersive experience. With its curved 49-inch display, 32:9 aspect ratio, and ultra-high 240Hz refresh rate, this impressive monitor takes gaming to the next level.

Designed for gamers but versatile enough for productivity and content viewing, the LG 49 inch Gaming Monitor delivers silky-smooth gameplay and exceptional picture quality.

Immersive Gaming Environment

The LG UltraGear 49GR85DC features a 49-inch Dual QHD (5,120 x 1,440) resolution panel with a 1000R curvature, filling the user’s field of vision with sharp and vibrant images. The generous screen width and 240Hz refresh rate create an expansive and highly responsive gaming environment, making games feel more real and dynamic. This makes it great for gamers that are into Driving Sims or Flight Simulators.

With VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certification, a 3000:1 contrast ratio, and a peak brightness of 1000 nits, the LG 49GR85DC produces vivid colors and deep, nuanced blacks. Its three-sided virtually borderless design keeps users focused as they engage in intense battles or explore virtual worlds.

Multitasking Features

The LG 49GR85DC offers an array of multitasking features to maximize productivity. With Picture-in-Picture (PIP) and Picture-by-Picture (PBP) modes, users can display content from a second connected device in a floating window or work with multiple open windows simultaneously by conveniently dividing the screen into two sections.

Enhanced Connectivity and Audio Experience

The new UltraGear monitor provides connectivity via DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.1, allowing users to enjoy smooth gaming at 240Hz in Dual QHD resolution. It also features LED Hexagon backlighting and supports DTS Headphone:X, delivering outstanding three-dimensional sound via wired headphones and enhancing the gaming experience.

A Versatile Display Solution

Seo Young-jae, Senior Vice President and Head of the IT Business Unit at LG Electronics Business Solutions Company, highlighted the company’s commitment to meeting the diverse needs of today’s consumers. The LG UltraGear 49GR85DC combines gaming-focused features with multitasking capabilities, making it a versatile and premium display solution.
