LG's UltraGear Evo 52G930B is a 52-inch curved gaming monitor with a 5,120 x 2,160 resolution and a 240 Hz refresh rate, priced at $1,699 or £1,499. Its panel is an older VA type, not OLED, IPS or mini-LED.
The rest of the spec sheet is modest. Brightness is 400 nits in standard mode and 600 nits in HDR. The monitor carries DisplayHDR 600 certification but has no local dimming, which means it cannot dim parts of the screen independently. LG rates contrast at 4,000:1 and response at 1 ms grey-to-grey, though the reviewer noted that response specs rarely tell the full story. Ports include two HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1 and USB-C with 90 W power delivery. The screen is 21:9 with a tight 1000R curve.
The reviewer, who used a 49-inch 32:9 ultrawide as a main display for about 18 months, still found this one overwhelming. Width matches those 49-inch models. Height and depth do not, and the monitor barely fit on a large desk. Pixel response was described as not great, with dark tones the weak spot, as on most VA panels. Pixel overdrive, a feature that speeds up transitions, is also locked out in the sRGB and DCI-P3 colour modes.
The case for it is immersion. At 107 pixels per inch, it sits close to a 27-inch 1440p monitor (109) and well ahead of a 55-inch 4K TV (80). It still trails a 32-inch 4K monitor (138). That makes it usable at desk distance, where a flat TV would look coarse and its edges would sit at a sharp angle.
The awkward part is the price. The same money reaches OLED TVs up to around 65 inches, and those win on contrast. So the LG suits a narrow buyer: someone who wants a wraparound screen for slower games like The Witcher III and accepts that fast shooters and esports play badly on it. A screen that demands constant head turns gets less useful as the action speeds up.
