This article covers LG ゲーミングモニター 49GR85DC-B 48.8インチ LG UltraGear.

Overview

The LG UltraGear 49GR85DC-B is a 48.8-inch super-ultrawide curved gaming monitor with a 5120×1440 resolution (32:9 aspect ratio), effectively replacing two WQHD monitors side by side. It offers a 240Hz refresh rate and 1ms GTG response time, making it ideal for fast-paced shooters and racing games. The VA panel delivers a 3000:1 contrast ratio and supports HDR10 with VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certification, providing deep blacks and vibrant colors. The 1000R curvature enhances immersion by matching the natural field of view.

Connectivity & Compatibility

Video inputs include one DisplayPort 1.4 and two HDMI 2.1 ports. The DisplayPort connection supports the full 5120×1440 resolution at 240Hz. A built-in USB hub offers one USB 3.0 upstream and two downstream ports, plus a 4-pole headphone/mic combo jack for easy headset connection. FreeSync Premium Pro is supported for tear-free gaming with AMD GPUs, and G-Sync Compatible mode works on many NVIDIA cards (unofficially confirmed by users).

Product Info

Released in late 2023, the 49GR85DC-B is priced around ¥35,000 (as of September 2026). It comes with a 3-year manufacturer warranty and includes a DisplayPort cable, HDMI cable, USB upstream cable, power cable, and stand assembly. This monitor sits in the high-end segment, offering a rare combination of 32:9 ultrawide, 240Hz, and HDR1000 at a competitive price point. Few rivals match this feature set in the same price bracket.

Best Use Cases

  • Immersive gamers: The 32:9 screen and 1000R curve create a wrap-around view perfect for racing sims, flight sims, and open-world RPGs. The 240Hz refresh also benefits competitive shooters, though esports purists may prefer a smaller, faster panel.
  • Multitaskers and streamers: Picture-by-Picture (PBP) mode lets you display two WQHD inputs side by side from separate PCs. Ideal for streaming setups where one PC runs the game and another handles chat/overlays. Be aware that the monitor requires a desk depth of at least 70cm.
  • HDR enthusiasts: With DisplayHDR 1000 certification, peak brightness reaches 1000 nits for impactful highlights in supported games and movies. Note that VA panel viewing angles may shift color slightly off-center.
