LG UltraGear is the brand name that the South Korean firm uses to label its gaming monitors, and it has just introduced the new 49GR85DC-B model, which will occupy a privileged position thanks to its huge size, ultra-wide format and high refresh rate.

The LG monitor continues the line started by the Samsung Odyssey G9 and in fact is practically a copy of the main specifications. It must be said that the company already had models of this size and format, such as the LG Ultrawide 49WQ95C-W, but mounted a nano IPS panel that was designed more for productivity tasks. It also has models with close diagonals with an OLED display.

This LG UltraGear is designed for gaming. drive VA panel offers a medium TV screen, nothing less than 49 inches this will require a large table to accommodate a width greater than one meter. The overall design has been refreshed with a sturdier base to hold its dimensions well and light effects on the back.

Its panel is extremely curved, 1000 yearssame as its format, ultra widescreen with 32:9 aspect ratio with native resolution 5120 x 1440 pixels. The monitor offers viewing angles of 178°/178°, a maximum brightness of 450 cd/m², a static contrast ratio of 2500:1 and 95% coverage of the DCI-P3 color palette.

It supports AMD FreeSync Premium Pro image synchronization technology and its refresh rate is increased to 240 Hz, the highest achieved in the industry with this distinction. It supports the VESA DisplayHDR 1000 standard and offers a response time of 1 ms (GtG).

It comes with several gamer-focused features such as hardware crosshairs, frame rate counters, black stabilizer, and specific display preferences for major game genres. The base is adjustable in height and tilt and has two HDMI 2.1 inputs and one DisplayPort 1.4. It also includes a headphone amplifier for audio input via a DP/HDMI connection with support for the DTS Headphones X surround sound format.
