LG Japan Opens Pre-Orders: The Next-Gen UltraGear OLED Lineup
As of early May 2026, LG Japan has officially launched pre-orders for two of its most anticipated gaming monitors: the 45GX950B-B and the 32GX870B-B. These displays represent the cutting edge of LG’s UltraGear OLED technology, featuring the new Micro Lens Array (MLA+) tech which significantly boosts brightness and viewing angles compared to older OLED panels.
1. LG UltraGear 45GX950B-B: The Curved Behemoth
This is the successor to the popular 45-inch curved model, refined with 2026 display standards.
-
Immersion: It features a 45-inch WQHD (3440 x 1440) resolution with a dramatic 800R curvature, designed to wrap around your field of vision.
-
Speed: A blistering 240Hz refresh rate and an industry-leading 0.03ms GtG response time.
-
The MLA+ Advantage: This 2026 model uses the latest “Plus” version of Micro Lens Array technology, achieving a peak brightness of 1300 nits in HDR—fixing the “dimness” complaints of previous OLED monitors.
-
Connectivity: Equipped with DisplayPort 2.1 and HDMI 2.1, making it future-proof for next-gen GPUs.
2. LG UltraGear 32GX870B-B: The Competitive Sweet Spot
For gamers who prefer a flat screen with maximum pixel density, this 32-inch model is the flagship choice.
-
Resolution: 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) resolution on a flat 32-inch panel.
-
Dual-Mode Tech: Following the 2024-2025 trend, this 2026 unit supports a “Dynamic Frequency” mode, allowing you to switch between 4K at 240Hz for cinematic games and FHD at 480Hz for extreme competitive play (like Free Fire or Valorant).
-
Visual Fidelity: VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certified, ensuring deep blacks and infinite contrast ratios.
3. Pricing and Availability (Japan Launch)
LG Japan is offering early-bird incentives for those who pre-order before the official shipping date in late May.
-
Estimated Price:
-
45GX950B-B: Approximately 270,000 JPY (incl. tax).
-
32GX870B-B: Approximately 190,000 JPY (incl. tax).

Global Release: Usually, the Japan launch precedes the Indian and Western releases by about 4–6 weeks. We expect these models to hit Indian retailers (like Amazon.in and MDComputers) by July 2026.
