It is also the very first 45-inch display with an 800R curvature: an exciting, new form factor designed to deliver next-level gaming experiences. Certified as a low blue light product by leading global testing organizations TÜV Rheinland and UL Solutions, the matt Anti-glare & Low Reflection OLED panel of the curved UltraGear monitor is easier on the eyes than a conventional LED panel, meaning users can play for longer with less eye discomfort.

The 45GR95QE’s remarkable, curved OLED panel offers a 1,500,000:1 contrast ratio and 98.5 percent coverage of DCI-P3, producing the bright colors, deep blacks and crisp images that not only make the onscreen action come alive, but also heighten the player’s focus. Like its 27-inch sibling, the 45-inch model has a response time of less than 0.03ms GTG and a 240Hz refresh rate. Harnessing the immense potential of OLED, the 45GR95QE provides total gaming immersion.

“Featuring our industry leading display technologies, these purpose-built monitors boast the speed needed for competitive gaming as well as picture quality that makes everything look and feel more real,” said Seo Young-jae, senior vice president and head of the IT business unit of LG Electronics Business Solutions Company. “As a pioneer of the gaming space, LG will continue to invent completely new customer experiences through its high-performance LG UltraGear gaming monitors that come in various sizes and form factors to satisfy every kind of gamer.”

Visitors to CES 2023 from January 5-8 are encouraged to stop by booth #15501 in the Las Vegas Convention Center to experience the latest UltraGear OLED gaming monitors. Available to pre-order in the U.S. starting December 12, LG’s latest OLED gaming monitors will be launching in key markets throughout North America and Asia in January, in Europe from February, and in the Middle East and Latin America in the following months.

Double the Productivity with the DualUp Monitor

Nowadays, being able to multitask is a crucial skill to have. It increases your efficiency and stimulates your brain to work or study more effectively, which in turn eventually translates to more productivity. The downside of multitasking however if your focus is split, especially if you keep alt-tabbing between projects. This can lead to errors, longer total time, or even subpar work.

One of the best ways to mitigate this problem is adding more space so you can organize your ideas better. This can be done through a notebook and jotting down your task and prioritizing them. Another way is to use multiple screens. This can take up a lot of desk space, however. To address this, LG introduced the DualUp monitor, which offers twice the screen real estate to help with multitasking and productivity.

The LG DualUp monitor offers a new format of 16:18 aspect ratio with a SDQHD display. This gives you effectively the same screen real estate as two separate 21.5 inch monitors (16:9 aspect ratio) to enable viewing of 2 applications at the same time for added productivity. No more need for confusing and distracting alt-tabbing.

The DualUp’s picture quality is no slouch, either. It supports a wide color spectrum, 98% of DCI-P3 gamut, and offers vibrant hue reproduction with the support of HDR10. The monitor also has Auto Brightness Control to reduce eye strain. The sensor measures the ambient light in the surrounding environment and adjusts the screen brightness accordingly.

Its design is ergonomically sound. The Ergo stand offers the flexibility to extend, retract, swivel, pivot, raise, lower and tilt the location of the screen to achieve the desired and comfortable viewing position. It also gives you back valuable desk space. Its C-Clamp mounting point design enables installation of the adjustable screen on the rear of the desk, removing the screen and stand from the desk surface freeing up valuable space for other items.

LG Monitor Ambassador and photographer Magic Liwanag shares his experience with the DualUp Monitor during the launch event held in June.

Whether you’re an office worker, a creative, or a content creator, the LG DualUp monitor can help boost your efficiency and productivity.

LG Multi Split offers multiple ways to manage multiple spaces

For Filipinos, one of the biggest factors that people consider before making a big investment is flexibility. Before allocating capital, research must be done exhaustively in order to ensure that what you’re buying gives the most bang for your buck. This holds true for something small such as electronics and appliances, to bigger purchases such as cars and houses. HVAC systems are also put under the same buyer scrutiny. Before committing to a system, whether for residential or commercial use, you have to go beyond just comfort and look at it as a whole.

The LG Multi Split provides this versatility and flexibility. This revolutionary system delivers the functionality, flexibility and performance that can transform your home or office. The system ensures optimum cooling and air management no matter how big or small the space. With the ability to connect to up to 5 indoor units, the Multi Split gives system designers freedom and flexibility. LG offers a wide range of indoor units that are stylish and space-saving, so they don’t detract from the interior of a home or office. Whether you need wall-mounted indoor units, units installed in the ceiling, or even a ducted solution, LG indoor unit designs can fit perfectly with any building. Operating multiple indoor units allows individual monitoring and control of units in multiple rooms. Every building has its own unique structure and needs and the Multi Split can meet the needs of multiple spaces simultaneously. With the addition of a Distribution (DB) Box, a single outdoor unit can support up to 9 indoor units.

The LG Multi Split brings the comfort, flexibility and efficiency to revolutionize your space all in a uniquely compact unit. The compact outdoor unit is 546mm smaller from top to bottom and 23% lighter, which makes the installation process much easier and more flexible as well. The smaller form factor unit also frees up space outdoors and doesn’t clutter your yard or the premises of an office.

Behind the LG Multi Split is the powerful R1 Compressor. Its shaft-through design ensures highly stable operation even during low-load conditions and further boosts operating efficiency. This structure improves the durability of the compressor itself while, in addition, the enhanced Black Fin corrosion-resistant coating lengthens the life of the Multi Split. High SEER and SCOP class ratings from the Multi Split demonstrate its outstanding performance thanks to the R1 compressor. Advanced peak current control also reduces energy consumption and operation costs. Along with this high-efficiency performance comes advanced temperature and humidity sensor technology that reduces cooling times by 33% and heating times by 45%. Embedded PM1.0 sensors also ensure improved air purification for a more healthy and more comfortable environment.

The unique R1 Compressor shaft-through design boosts efficiency and durability

The Multi Split also takes advantage of LG’s useful and intuitive ThinQ app. While connected via Wi-Fi to LG ThinQ, users can control and monitor their system from anywhere at any time. You can conveniently access the app on your mobile device to stay on top of system performance and operation. In addition, LGMV (Monitoring View) connectivity makes it possible for installers or service engineers to monitor and diagnose any issues with the system with cycle monitoring and smart troubleshooting available all within the app.

Multi Split smart connectivity enhances convenience and performance

To make the most of your home or workspace, the right HVAC system makes all the difference. The LG Multi Split brings the comfort, flexibility and efficiency to revolutionize your space all in a uniquely compact unit. The versatility and performance of the Multi Split make it the perfect fit for a wide range of environments.
