Q: QuestionI am wondering how this will work as a single-monitor for work (Excel, spreadsheets, lots of texts, emails, static images) during the day, and then switching over to a desktop gaming system running an RTX4080 Super. Screen burn-in issues?
Asked by JonathanS.
- A:Answer Yes, it works well as a single monitor. The ultrawide layout is excellent for side-by-side spreadsheets and emails. Text clarity is good, but OLED isn’t quite as razor-sharp as high-DPI IPS for heavy Excel work. You’ll still be comfortable all day. Excellent match. Your GPU can easily drive the resolution and refresh rate. Games are extremely immersive, with fast response times and perfect blacks. Low risk, not zero. LG’s OLED protections (pixel shift, logo dimming, refresh cycles) help a lot.

Q: QuestionHi, does this monitor have the same limitations as its previous version when it comes to enabling G sync and the screen going blank? Not that it’s really necessary considering the speeds already but I was just wondering before I buy. Thanks.
Asked by JayBee.
- A:Answer The reason I ask is that supposedly there is a known issue with the previous incarnation of this monitor (not the 5k2k version) but the 45” one that was sold last year where G Snyc was not operating correctly because of the OLED but it appears that having checked out information on Reddit and your confirmation that this monitor(5k2k) actually does everything. Congratulations on your purchase. It’s a winner.

Asked by Mo37.
- A:Answer Hi there, Mo. Thank you for sharing your experience with us regarding the 45GX950A-B UltraGear OLED Gaming Monitor. We understand your inquiry about the picture display functions. Yes, the 45GX950A-B monitor does have both PIP (Picture in Picture) and PBP (Picture by Picture) functions. These features allow you to display content from two different input sources on the screen simultaneously, which is excellent for both multitasking and a dual setup. Since the unit has this capability, you can access the PIP/PBP settings within the monitor's On-Screen Display (OSD) menu to select your desired screen configuration and input sources. https://www.bestbuy.com/product/lg-ultragear-45-oled-dual-mode-5k2k-wuhd-165hz-wfhd-330hz-0-03ms-g-sync-freesync-premium-pro-gaming-monitor-black/JJ8VPZWPY9 If you have any further questions about its features or setting up the PIP/PBP functions, please send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport, and our team will be more than happy to assist you. —Renzo

Q: QuestionHow dual resolution works?? Other monitors all you have to do is press a buttons to switch from 4k to 1080p. Monitor is expensive and investing $2000 withouth that feature is no sell for me.
Asked by VictorR.
- A:Answer There is a button on the bottom of the monitor you can use to switch between modes, you can set them to different resolutions/aspect ratios/frame rates in the monitor settings. I have mine at 5k2k ultrawide 165hz on one, and 27" 1080p 330hz on the second one. The dual mode works well and is easy to use/configure.

Q: QuestionDo you need a 4090 or 5090 in order to effectively use this monitor? It doesn't seem like even a 5070 Ti could fully utilize the 4K potential with high FPS.
Asked by Danny.
- A:Answer No—you don’t need a 4090 or 5090 to use it effectively. But what GPU you should get depends on how you plan to use it: 1440p / 120–144 Hz gaming: RTX 4070 Ti / 4070 / 5070 Ti → very capable at high FPS in many titles at 1440p. This is realistic if you’re fine with high or balanced settings. 4K @ high FPS (120 Hz+) in demanding games: RTX 4080 / 4090 / next-gen 5090 → better suited for pushing 4K + high refresh without big sacrifices in settings. A 5070 Ti can hit good FPS, but you’ll likely lower some settings to stay at high refresh rates in heavier games. So in short: For work + casual gaming → RTX 4070 / 4070 Ti / 5070 Ti is plenty. For competitive or maxed 4K high-FPS gaming → 4080/4090 or future 5090 class is ideal. Conclusion: You don’t need a 4090/5090 to use the monitor well; just choose a GPU based on the resolution + FPS goals you care about.

Q: QuestionCan I hook my ps5 pro up this?
Asked by Scott.
- A:Answer The LG 45-inch UltraGear™ OLED 5K2K WUHD 165Hz or WFHD Dual Mode 330Hz 0.03ms G-sync Compatible DisplayPort 2.1 Gaming Monitor, Model # 45GX950A-B, has 2 x HDMI 2.1 ports that you can connect your PS5 with, but the monitor's native resolution of 5120 x 2160 is not supported on your PS5 Pro nor is the other resolution mentioned in the header, the WFHD, is a resolution of 2560 x 1080 pixels. The monitor does support 2560 x 1440 @ 120 Hz over HDMI; however, PS5 lacks support for variable refresh rate (VRR) when running in 1440p mode, but at higher refresh rates (up to 120Hz) gameplay will feel more fluid anyway, so a lack of VRR may not, in reality, negatively affect your experience. The monitor also supports 1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz, which is supported on your PS5 Pro It also supports 3840 x 2160, but at 165 Hz, which is not supported on your PS5 Pro, which supports 3840 x 2160 @ 60Hz...^Ivan..
