LG has always commanded an audience at CES with their latest televisions and Roman Huberdisplays. Last year, they stole the show with their transparent TV screens. (The transparent TVs are back this year too, by the way).

This year, LG cemented itself as the king of CES by having so much to show, they didn't even bring one of their new most-anticipated products, the LG UltraGear GX9 series bendable OLED gaming monitor, to the public show floor.

The LG 45GX990A, better known as the world's first 5K2K bendable gaming monitor, has already scored three Innovation Awards at CES 2025. And Mashable scored a sneak peek from LG at CES and we got to bend the bendable screen ourselves.

First off, just as an ordinary computer monitor, it's massive as a 45" OLED display with a 5K2K resolution and 21:9 aspect ratios for incredible picture quality. The screen also features LG's Dual Mode, which lets users easily switch between aspect ratios and picture size with the push of a button.

But, LG wasn't done when it came to the 45GX990A because this is the model that's bendable. Here's the part you were waiting for.

This LG UltraGear GX9 model bends automatically, converting the monitor from a flat screen monitor into a curved one and back again. And it's all done with the push of a button, no manual bending required.

At the demo, LG had two big red buttons on the table that bent the screen back-and-forth. However, the model that consumers will be able to purchase will come with a remote that lets users bend the screen with the push of a button.

And with that push of a button, the flat screen LG monitor bent and turned into an 800R curved display. The difference is stark in-person. LG had both a flat screen and curved monitor next to the bendable display during the demo too, which really helped accentuate the changes when the bendable screen worked its magic.

Now, a curved monitor isn't for everyone, and it's mostly used to give gamers a more immersive playing experience. This LG monitor fills a niche for users who may want both a flat screen and curved monitor for different use cases or just can't decide between the two.

It's obviously not quite ready yet as the company didn't even have the remote at the event. However, it was shown alongside the company's other soon-to-be-released consumer products, so this certainly isn't some far-out prototype on display either. However, LG currently does not have any release date or price point to provide for the bendable gaming monitor.
