I tried LG's bendable 5K2K OLED gaming monitor and it's officially the screen of my dreams

LG Tom Guide
LG UltraGear GX9 45GX990A.

Choosing the best gaming monitor isn’t always easy. Do you opt for a flat or curved display, and are you willing to sacrifice resolution for a higher refresh rate? The amount of choices can be overwhelming, but what if there was a monitor that gave you the best of all worlds? Thankfully, the new LG UltraGear OLED is here to do just that.

The LG UltraGear GX9 45GX990A, or LG UltraGear OLED, is the world’s first bendable 5K2K gaming monitor with Dual-Mode. With the press of a button, the display goes from flat to curved in seconds.
