LG UltraGear Evo 52G930B Evo gaming monitor review

Can you have too much of a mediocre thing? If I was being unkind, that's the challenge I'd make to the new LG UltraGear Evo 52G930B. What we are talking about here, people, is a monumental 52-inch 5K2K gaming monitor. But it's based on an old-school VA panel.

Yep, not OLED. Not IPS. It doesn't even have mini-LED local dimming. It's just a huge, high-res, VA panel. At 52 inches, it's so big and so expensive it immediately poses another problem. Why wouldn't you just buy a 4K TV?

After all, this LG clocks in at $1,699 or £1,499, which buys you an awful lot of 4K TV here in late 2026. That kind of money puts you in reach of OLED TVs up to around 65 inches. And, like I said, the LG UltraGear Evo 52G930B isn't actually that well specced save for its size and resolution.
