- LG Display’s 39-inch 5K ultrawide uses a 5120 x 2160 resolution panel
- The WOLED panel carries the DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification
- LG Display confirms true RGB stripe subpixel design on 39-inch panel
LG Display is preparing a 39-inch curved ultrawide monitor with a 5K2K resolution of 5120 x 2160 pixels, placing it within the current class of 5K monitors.
At this size, the screen offers an estimated pixel density of around 142ppi, closely matching existing 31.5-inch 4K monitors rather than introducing a clear jump in sharpness.
LG Display has confirmed that this business monitor uses its Tandem WOLED architecture, previously known as the fourth-generation Primary RGB Tandem.
Brightness targets and panel technology.
The display reaches maximum brightness levels of up to 1,500 nits with a small average picture level, bringing it closer to benchmark models such as Apple’s Pro Display XDR.
The panel is expected to be DisplayHDR True Black 500 certified and use a true RGB stripe subpixel design, which affects text rendering and color reproduction on desktop displays.
LG Display hasn’t formally detailed mechanical specifications, but the filing points to a softer curvature than the 800R designs used in its previous 34- and 39-inch ultrawide panels.
A reduced curve would affect desktop ergonomics and viewing comfort, particularly at 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 that uses the same WOLED technology, marking its first 4K entry in this size.
This move follows market pressure from Samsung Display’s QD-OLED alternatives, which already occupy this segment.
LG Display hasn’t revealed 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 to 2026 first revealed these panels, and subsequent confirmation added more 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 reach a $5K price point.
However, this assessment remains speculative until LG Display releases full specifications and commercial terms.
