Q: QuestionWhy is this not the newest lg 45? The stand is different and no remote… why?(2 answers)
A: AnswerFeels weird to contradict "LG Customer Service", but their answer is wrong. This model (45GS96QB-B) is the current 2024 model, the newest model in this product line as of 5/2024. The 2023 model was the 45GR95QE-B. This 2024 model (96QB-B) has the following major differences: 1) built-in speakers, 2) a USB-C port, 3) VESA-certifed HDR (thanks to HDR400 + TrueBlack 4) a much-brighter SDR and HDR screen output. Weirdly: this newest version does NOT have a remote. If you can work around that issue, it is the superior model to last year's QE-B. You're welcome, LG. (BTW, you can find the December 12, 2023 press release announcing the QB-B model as the 2024 version and confirming the QB-B will hit store shelves in retail by April of 2024.Answered by Specs23
Q: QuestionDoes the 45GS96QB-B come with a remote? It's almost too big to reach.(2 answers)
A: AnswerNo.Answered by Scottus
Q: Questioncan this pickup cable channels?(1 answer)
A: AnswerHello, there. We appreciate your question. The 45GS96QB-B.AUS model belongs to LG’s Sound Bar lineup and isn’t intended for directly receiving TV channels. This soundbar acts as an enhanced audio output system for your television but lacks the built-in capability to capture over-the-air channels like a conventional antenna or TV tuner. To access cable or broadcast channels, you will need a TV tuner or set-top box linked to your television. The soundbar will then provide audio for any content displayed on your TV (whether it’s from cable, antenna, streaming services, etc.). If you require additional assistance with setup or compatibility, please feel free to reach out to us via private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport, and we’ll be glad to assist you further.

- A: AnswerHello there, Holly. Thank you for your question. The LG UltraGear 45" OLED Gaming Monitor, model 45GS96QB-B, does support screen-splitting, allowing you to use it as two separate displays on an extended desktop, which can be very helpful for remote desktop work setups like Citrix or AWS. You can achieve this with its PBP (Picture-by-Picture) or PIP (Picture-in-Picture) features, which let you divide the screen and use two sources simultaneously. Here’s how to set it up: Connect your Laptop: Use either HDMI, DisplayPort, or USB-C connections to your laptop. Ensure you’re connecting both monitors as extended displays through your operating system’s display settings. Activate PBP/PIP Mode: Access the OnScreen Control (OSC) menu on the monitor. Look for the PBP/PIP settings under display options. Choose the preferred screen-splitting mode, and adjust the layout to your liking. Arrange Displays in Citrix or AWS Remote Desktop: Configure Citrix or AWS to recognize the split as separate monitors within your extended desktop setup. https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-45gs96qb-b-gaming-monitor#pdp_specs For further assistance, feel free to message us on social media at @LGUSSupport, and we’ll be glad to walk you through the setup.

A: AnswerHello there! The 45GS96QB-B.AUS monitor does not explicitly mention compatibility with the MacBook Air.

Not just Big, Huge.
Amazing product. The biggest surprise was the absolute Chungus of a power brick. Weighs over a kilo and supplies 270w of power for this wicked sized monitor. The io on the back is perfect. The raised height of the stand is much appreciated and the size of the screen makes my 35" vertical monitor look small.. the best feature no one talks about is a 1080p monitor next to this one will line up nearly pixel perfect for not only wall papers but there's no huge jump going from one screen to the next. For context this is an H9 Elite case and a Viotek Gn35 Monitor next to it.

Immersive experience! Great for sim games.
Ive first seen the early generation of oked monitors at CES and finally jumped on this next gen oled monitors this year. Its a big monitor, aggressive 800R curve, this is great for gaming especially simulator games and FPS ganes. This thing embraces you and fully immerses you to the game or content with its display. The colors are vibrant and after some tweaking and calibration (also installing the color gamut profile to Windows) im loving mine alot. The pixel per inch ( PPI ) however needs improvement but I understand would be resource intensive heavy for most GPU. The subpixel layout of these OLED makes windows cleartype unable to fully smoothen and correct jagged edges of some texts, I found changing the font and text size to help. Overall, its a great monitor definitely the ideal gaming monitor youd have no regrets on, its fast, responsive, vibrant, besutiful, ideal aspect ratio with support from almost every game, its immersive and bright. If you do productivity and office work, its great too if you can live with the 800R curve and slightly pixelated texts.
