LG Unveils World’s First Bendable 5K2K 45-Inch Gaming Monitor with 800R Curvature, DisplayPort 2.1, and Dual Mode Support

LG is rolling out three models for the UltraGear GX9 series that comprise of the 45GX990A, 45GX950A, and 39GX90SA. All three share a number of similarities with a 21:9 aspect ratio, OLED panels, and USB Type C ports.

Just putting this out there, I saw the current bendable (mechanized) at Microcenter for 1k for the 42 inch model. IF I was in the market for OLED and didn't already have one that is what I would have gone after. Same price as the C3 42 inch. Just a gen older on tech so a C2 display. But 120hz refresh, all the syncs and G's and such.

I don't think LG made any big changes between the C2 and C3 models -- the processor saw a step bump up, and a newer version of WebOS, but I think that was about it - same panel if I recall. Most of the changes in the 3 series were in the G series with the EVO panels.

Look at it as "Adjustable Curvature"
People will have different preferences when using something like this as a desktop monitor, some people like no curve, some like extreme curve.
If you can adjust the curve to your liking they are more likely to sell more.
