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
- 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. Enjoy your new multitasking workspace! —Renzo

Q: Questioncan this pickup cable channels?(2 answers)
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.

They are tested by Geek Squad and if there are no issues found, they will be cleaned, repackaged, and sold at a discounted rate. The amount of discount is dictated by things like how much wear is present, and whether there are any missing accessories/cables.

They are repaired by a third-party team or specially trained Geek Squad agents and then are sold at discount on bestbuy.com Hope this helps.Answered by Anonymous

Breathtaking 2k widescreen action
I went from a 32 inch 4k 140 PPI QD-OLED screen to a 45 inch W-OLED widescreen and ended up being completely immersed and amazed while gaming on this screen. It really is a sight to behold once you have it all set up and youre playing on it. Roughly 1300 Nits peak brightness when set to high. I encountered some strange color banding when i first turned it on, but a 10 minute image care cleaning option made that issue vanish forever. If you plan on gaming on this screen it will be am amazing experience, but i cant speak for productivity.

Perfect for Sim Racers with desk tops or sim rigs!
The Monitor ROCKS!!! I am using a Nvidia 4060 and the picture is beautiful. This monitor will is on YouTube for all the specs but for a ACC, IRacing, and GT7 sim racer its perfect!! The size fits my Next Level rig perfectly and I this point, Me Personally, 45" is all I need for now. The 49",57', and 59' look amazing but are just too much for me. For a more immersive and intimate experience, This the monitor to get!!

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.
