LG Electronics has introduced the UltraGear evo, a new premium gaming monitor brand. It was first debuted at CES 2026.

The UltraGear evo line includes 5K-and-above resolution gaming displays in OLED, MiniLED, and ultra-wide formats. They are designed to deliver high definition, speed, and immersive gameplay.

To make things work, LG developed the world’s first 5K AI Upscaling technology. This on-device AI solution enhances content in real time without requiring GPU upgrades.

The three primary offerings are the 39GX950B, 27GM950B, and 52G930B. Here’s a quick breakdown for each:

39GX950B

• 39-inch 5K2K OLED gaming monitor
• AI Scene Optimization
• AI Sound
• Dual Mode
• Allows users to switch between high-res 165Hz and ultra-fast 330Hz

27GM950B

• World’s first 5K New MiniLED gaming monitor
• Significantly reduces blooming using 2,304 local dimming zones
• Zero Optical Distance technology
• Supports 5K AI Upscaling, Dual Mode up to 330Hz

52G930B

• Massive 52-inch display
• 240Hz refresh rate
• Panoramic 12:9 viewing experience
• 1000R curvature

LG positions the new UltraGear evo lineup as a major leap forward in gaming displays. They eliminate trade-offs between brightness, contrast, speed, and screen size.

The lineup will again be showcased at CES 2026, including a “Dream Setup” installation and racing simulation using the 39-inch model.

An additional UltraGear GX7 (27GX790B) will be launched globally. It is a 27-inch QHD Tandem OLED gaming monitor with 540Hz refresh rate and Dual Mode support.

The current console generation is arguably a tepid one, especially compared to preceding generations. Though the PlayStation 5 certainly has its certified hits, it’s difficult to classify the home console as a quintessential piece of hardware that everyone must own. All eyes are now on what comes next, the PlayStation 6. However, because of an ongoing RAM shortage, those curious eyes might have to wait a little bit longer.

As you probably know, an ongoing RAM shortage is currently terrorizing the entire tech world. Upcoming devices are getting delayed, and currently available ones are expecting a price increase sometime this year. The unannounced PlayStation 6 is reportedly part of the first group.

According to Bloomberg, the shortage has pushed the projected release of the next console to 2028 or 2029. The delay is apparently disruptive to Sony’s plans.

There aren’t a lot of rumors swirling around the PlayStation 6 yet. However, the absence of news, coupled with anticipated titles like the remake of the God of War trilogy far off into the future, hints that PlayStation is waiting for the right time.

On the other hand, the same report claims that the Nintendo Switch 2 is part of the second group of RAM shortage victims. That is, Nintendo is reportedly considering a price hike for the currently available console this year.

To be clear, neither Nintendo nor Sony have confirmed anything happening to their respective consoles, current or otherwise. However, the shortage is a very real thing. Even if its effects aren’t readily felt now, it’s still expected to spread throughout the industry in the medium term.

Star Wars: Galactic Racer made a fresh appearance at Sony’s State of Play, revealing new gameplay ahead of its 2026 launch.

The new trailer highlights high-speed races across both new and familiar planets from the Star Wars galaxy. It also confirms the return of podracing, the franchise’s most iconic motorsport, alongside a wider range of repulsorcraft built for different racing styles.

Players step into the role of Shade, a lone pilot drawn into the Galactic League. The league operates outside the law in the Outer Rim and is currently controlled by Kestar Bool, a powerful and corrupt figure. With his league on the brink of collapse, organizer Darius Pax turns to Shade to fight back and reclaim control.

The campaign features a branching structure. Choices affect events, alliances, and access to parts, tools, and upgrades. Players can experiment with landspeeders, skim speeders, speeder bikes, and podracers, then fine-tune each vehicle with the help of mechanic Hibi.

Beyond the story, the game offers multiple modes. Online races support up to 12 players across several competitive formats. Arcade mode focuses on instant action, time trials, and leaderboard runs. Scenarios mode introduces unique challenges, from practice sessions on new tracks to demanding races designed to test mastery and precision.

Star Wars: Galactic Racer launches on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in 2026.
