LG Teams Up With Twitch For Live Stream Showcasing The New UltraGear Gaming Monitor

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Nov. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics USA is partnering with Twitch, the leading service and community for multiplayer entertainment, to demonstrate innovation beyond boundaries with its LG UltraGear^TM Gaming monitors (model 27GL850 and 38GL950G) by bringing together some of Twitch's top broadcasters. The LG UltraGear Monitors are the world's first Nano IPS gaming monitors, with 1ms response time and NVIDIA® G-SYNC® compatibility, that delivers smooth motion without tearing or stuttering for enhanced accuracy and gameplay.

To showcase the monitor's lightning speed, clarity, rich colors and realistic visuals, LG recruited Twitch streamer, Imane "Pokimane" Anys, who's tapped other streamers, including Celine "Starsmitten" Cheung, Angela "AriaSaki" Don, and Alena "AngelsKimi" Kim. The team will face off with opponents for a live-streamed, two-hour broadcast where they will dominate the game using their LG UltraGear 27-inch monitor desk set-ups. Fans can watch and interact by visiting www.twitch.tv/pokimane during the live-stream.

Known for her gameplay and enthusiastic personality on streams of League of Legends and Fortnite, "Pokimane," is an influential voice on Twitch and one of the biggest streamers on the platform.¹ "Anybody can enjoy games," said Pokimane. "There is a place for everyone on Twitch and products like LG's monitors help make streaming possible. I'm excited to use these monitors and play with some of my best friends."

"Gaming has given people from all walks of life the chance to both learn and express themselves through a unique outlet like no other," said Michelle Fernandez, head of home entertainment consumer marketing at LG Electronics USA. "This is why LG UltraGear, in association with Twitch, is excited to have Pokimane show streamers how their monitor can provide an ultra-immersive gaming experience that allows personal expression to be displayed through this game-changing display."

Throughout the live-stream there will be Twitch subscription "sub-bombs", rewarding both the broadcasters and their fans for their victory.

The LG UltraGear 27-inch monitor can now be purchased at LG authorized dealers for $499 while the 38-inch (coming soon) will be found for $1,999. For more information on LG's UltraGear 1ms monitors, as well as the stream, please visit LG.com.
