LG Electronics Canada has confirmed pricing and availability for four new displays launching in Canada, led by the UltraGear G5 which arrives as the first Full HD 1080p gaming monitor with a native 1000Hz refresh rate. The full lineup is available now on LG.ca and includes the 45-inch UltraGear evo GX9 5K2K OLED gaming monitor along with the Gallery TV and the 32-inch StanbyME 2 Max lifestyle displays first shown at CES 2026.
The announcement, made September 1 2026 in Toronto, covers every screen size in the home from competitive esports to art focused living rooms. LG UltraGear pricing starts at 1299.99 CAD, Gallery TV pricing starts at 1399.99 CAD and the StanbyME 2 Max starts at 1999.99 CAD according to the company release.
UltraGear G5 Delivers Native 1000Hz in Full HD
The LG UltraGear G5 model 25G590B is the centerpiece of the new lineup. LG says it is the first gaming monitor to run Full HD 1080p at a native 1000Hz without requiring a mode switch to reach the top speed. That design choice matters for players who want consistent timing and motion clarity without adjusting display settings between matches.
The panel uses a 25-inch format that esports teams have favored for years because it keeps the full play area inside the natural field of view. That allows faster situational awareness without large eye movements across an oversized screen. The stand follows the same competitive logic with a compact base that leaves more desk area for mouse movement and simple calibration marks for height, swivel and tilt so players can rebuild the same setup at home, at practice and on stage. Custom UltraGear Emblem lighting completes the look.
For image handling LG includes Motion Blur Reduction Pro 2 which sharpens fast moving objects and makes lateral motion easier to track during intense gameplay. The display is an IPS panel with Advanced True Wide Polarizer technology to control reflections while keeping colour and contrast steady from wide viewing angles. On device AI Scene Optimization adjusts picture settings by game genre and AI Sound works with compatible headsets to present spatial audio and clear team communication. Readers who follow LG monitor launches may recall previous LG curved OLED coverage on GameHaunt and how refresh and response specs have shaped buying choices.
The UltraGear G5 is available on LG.ca at a suggested price of 1299.99 CAD. For Canadian players building a competitive setup, the appeal is direct. Native 1000Hz at Full HD removes the trade off that Dual Mode monitors ask for, where you choose resolution or speed. Here you keep Full HD clarity at full speed in one fixed mode.
UltraGear evo GX9 Brings 5K2K OLED With AI Upscaling
The second gaming display is the LG UltraGear evo GX9 model 45GX950B. It is a 45-inch 21 by 9 ultrawide with 800R curvature, 5120 by 2160 resolution and 125 pixels per inch. That 5K2K density paired with OLED contrast is built for panoramic worlds where fine detail helps you read terrain and spot movement at the edges of the screen. Response time is rated at 0.03 ms and the panel carries VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification with 98.5 percent DCI-P3 colour coverage and a 1500000 to 1 contrast ratio.
What sets the GX9 apart beyond size is on device 5K2K AI Upscaling. LG says the monitor can enhance content without a GPU upgrade, while AI Scene Optimization and AI Sound handle display and audio tuning across games and movies. AI Sound separates voices, effects and background audio so team calls stay clear while key cues like footsteps remain easy to hear through speakers or headphones.
Dual Mode support gives two distinct options for different play styles. You can run full 5K2K at 165Hz for story driven AAA games where detail matters most, or switch to Wide Full HD at 330Hz at the same 0.03 ms response for competitive play where higher frame rate helps precision. Both modes support AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible operation for smooth variable refresh performance. Connectivity includes DisplayPort 2.1, USB-C with 90W Power Delivery and two HDMI 2.1 inputs, plus a two year OLED panel warranty.
The 45-inch UltraGear evo GX9 is available now on LG.ca starting at 2499.99 CAD. If you are weighing ultrawide options, our earlier look at the 27-inch LG OLED with 280Hz shows how OLED and high refresh pair for responsive play, now scaled to a much larger canvas here.
Gallery TV Turns the Screen Into a Design Piece
Unveiled at CES 2026, the LG Gallery TV models 55LX7BPUA and 65LX7BPUA take a different direction. The sets are built to act as a gallery element when the television is not in use, with a flush mount slim profile that sits tight to the wall and Attachable Gallery Frames included in Snow White with Warm Walnut sold separately.
Picture is powered by MiniLED with 4K resolution and Dynamic QNED Colour for broad colour reproduction. AI Sound Pro analyzes the scene and fine tunes dialogue, cinema audio and music for a fuller listening experience. Gallery Mode is the key art feature and it was developed with museum curators to tune colour accuracy and brightness for reproduced artwork. A specialized screen reduces reflections and adjusts to ambient light so a displayed painting or photo keeps its intended look through the day.
LG Gallery serves as the platform behind Gallery Mode. It offers a preset art library and it also lets you show personal photos from your own libraries so the screen becomes a changing exhibition at home. Built in audio tracks and Bluetooth connectivity add background music to complete the room. When you want a television again the panel returns to full 4K entertainment viewing without moving the mount.
The LG Gallery TV is available on LG.ca in 55-inch and 65-inch sizes starting at 1399.99 CAD.
StanbyME 2 Max Is a 32-Inch 4K Portable Screen
The LG StanbyME 2 Max model 32LX6BWGA is the largest StanbyME so far and it is also new to Canada after its CES 2026 debut. It is a 32-inch 4K detachable touchscreen that sits on a wheeled docking stand so you can move it from room to room. The screen rotates between landscape and portrait to match movies, video calls, vertical browsing and mobile style apps.
Inside is the Alpha 8 AI Processor Gen3 which manages picture and sound together, detects what you are watching and tunes settings automatically. AI Brightness Control reads ambient light and adjusts the panel, while Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos through side firing speakers bring cinematic picture and spatial audio. AI Sound Pro adds further clarity on top.
Portability is central here. A built in battery provides more than four hours of wireless playback and it recharges through the docking stand or through dual USB-C ports. As a smart display it offers LG Gallery for the first time in the StanbyME line along with LG Channels, Mood Maker and interactive board games. Support for Google Cast, Apple AirPlay and Apple Home allows easy mirroring from phones and tablets and a full touch interface rounds out day to day use.
The LG StanbyME 2 Max is available on LG.ca starting at 1999.99 CAD. For households that already plan a fixed television, it works as a second flexible screen for the kitchen, home office or bedroom without wall mounting.
Pricing and Availability in Canada
All four products are listed as available now on LG.ca. LG shared the following suggested pricing for the Canadian market.
- LG UltraGear G5 25G590B at 1299.99 CAD
- LG UltraGear evo GX9 45GX950B starting at 2499.99 CAD
- LG Gallery TV 55LX7BPUA and 65LX7BPUA starting at 1399.99 CAD
- LG StanbyME 2 Max 32LX6BWGA starting at 1999.99 CAD
For buyers comparing gaming hardware costs, discounts on earlier LG displays have been common. GameHaunt previously tracked a 500 CAD saving on a 45-inch LG gaming monitor during a prior promotion, which may help set expectations around street pricing once retail partners stock the new models.
What This Means for Canadian Gamers and Homes
The G5 pushes competitive specs forward by making 1000Hz native at Full HD rather than an alternate mode, while the GX9 scales ultrawide OLED to 5K2K with AI upscaling that does not depend on a new graphics card. At the same time the Gallery TV and StanbyME 2 Max show LG applies the same panel and processing work to lifestyle use, from a flush gallery wall piece to a battery powered screen you can wheel to any room. All four are now on sale through LG direct, with wider retail support expected to follow.
When are the new LG displays available in Canada?
LG says all four displays are available now on LG.ca as of September 1 2026. That includes the UltraGear G5 and GX9, the Gallery TV in two sizes and the StanbyME 2 Max. Retail partners typically list inventory in the days after the direct launch so check local sellers if you prefer to buy in store.
What makes the UltraGear G5 different from other high refresh monitors?
According to LG the 25G590B is the first monitor to deliver Full HD 1080p at native 1000Hz without a Dual Mode toggle. Many high refresh displays ask you to lower resolution or switch modes to hit their top speed. The G5 keeps Full HD and runs at 1000Hz in a single mode with Motion Blur Reduction Pro 2 and Advanced True Wide Polarizer to support clarity at that speed.
Is the 45-inch GX9 better for immersive or competitive play?
Both. The GX9 offers 5K2K at 165Hz for immersive AAA titles and Wide Full HD at 330Hz for competitive matches, both at 0.03 ms. If you play cinematic games you get the ultrawide detail, and if you play ranked shooters you can prioritize frame rate. AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible support helps either mode stay smooth.
Do the Gallery TV and StanbyME 2 Max need wall mounting or fixed setup?
The Gallery TV uses a flush mount for a tight wall fit and optional frames, while the StanbyME 2 Max is the opposite by design. It detaches from a wheeled stand, runs on battery for more than four hours and rotates between orientations, so you can move it around the home and charge it by the dock or USB-C.
