- LG Display’s 39-inch 5K ultrawide uses a 5120 x 2160 resolution panel
- The WOLED panel is DisplayHDR True Black 500 certified
- LG Display confirms true RGB striped sub-pixel layout on 39-inch panel
LG Display is preparing a 39-inch curved ultrawide monitor with a 5K2K resolution of 5,120 x 2,160 pixels, placing it in the current 5K monitor class.
At this size, the screen offers an estimated pixel density of around 142 ppi, which closely matches existing 31.5-inch 4K monitors rather than introducing a sharp jump in sharpness.
LG Display has confirmed that this professional monitor uses its Tandem WOLED architecture, previously called fourth-generation Tandem Primary RGB.
Brightness targets and panel technology
The display achieves peak brightness levels of up to 1,500 nits with a small average image level, bringing it closer to reference models such as Apple’s Pro Display XDR.
The panel is expected to carry DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification and use a true RGB striped sub-pixel layout, which affects text rendering and color reproduction on desktop displays.
LG Display hasn’t officially detailed mechanical specifications, but the presentation indicates a smoother curvature than the 800R models used on its previous 34- and 39-inch ultra-wide panels.
Reduced curvature would affect desktop ergonomics and viewing comfort, especially on this screen width, although LG Display has not confirmed the final radius.
The screen size places the device between existing ultra-wide productivity displays and larger immersive panels that favor curvature over flat usability.
In addition to the 39-inch 5K option, LG Display is also referencing a 27-inch UltraHD panel using the same WOLED technology, marking its first 4K entry in this size.
The move follows market pressure from Samsung Display’s QD-OLED alternatives, which already occupy this segment.
LG Display hasn’t disclosed refresh rate figures or dual-mode capabilities for either panel, leaving performance positioning unclear.
A short promotional video outlining LG Display’s Tandem WOLED roadmap for 2026 first revealed these panels, with later confirmation adding additional details.
Although LG Display hasn’t announced pricing, comparisons to its current 5K lineup and Apple’s 6K reference display suggest the final product is unlikely to hit a $5,000 price point.
However, this assessment remains speculative until LG Display releases full specifications and commercial terms.
