LG's New AI Monitor Hits 5K Resolution Without Needing a New GPU
LG Electronics reveals its new UltraGear evo gaming monitors with on-device AI that upscales content to 5K resolution without a GPU upgrade. See what this means for the future of gaming.
Your expensive graphics card might just be off the hook. LG Electronics announced plans on Friday to unveil new gaming monitors with built-in AI that can upscale content to 5K resolution, potentially saving users from a costly upgrade. According to a release reported by Yonhap, the LG UltraGear evo monitors will make their debut at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas this coming January.
On-Device AI Takes Center Stage
The new lineup will include 27-inch and 39-inch versions, both featuring an on-device AI solution. This built-in chip handles the heavy lifting of upscaling all displayed content to 5K quality. This means users can enjoy higher-resolution video and games without needing to upgrade their graphics processing units (GPUs). LG also stated that the monitors can automatically identify the genre of content being played to optimize screen and video settings on the fly.
A Bid for Market Leadership
The company expressed confidence in the new product's potential. "The LG UltraGear evo, equipped with an on-device AI solution, will help the company solidify its leadership in the global premium gaming market," LG Electronics said. The move highlights a growing industry trend of embedding AI capabilities directly into peripheral devices, rather than relying solely on a central computer's processing power.
