Great monitor, much brighter than my 34” samsung oled odyssey neo g8. Great form factor, grest size. Some will hate the curve, some will love it. I personally like the curve. The text fringing is terrible. Black text on a white screen is atrocious. PPI is very low around 80 but actually doesnt look terrible, just mainly with the text on a white screen. Overall still very dim compared to a OLED tv. OLED monitors just arent there yet, hdr looks non existent on these things. I was hoping the 3rd gen panel would be a substantial improvement but its marginal. Ive included a photo from my 2025 msi titan 18 with 5090 and 4k mini led display. The laptop looks blown out in the photos but in reality its the opposite. The oled looks terrible and dim with zero HDR, and the colors looks drap with zero contrast compared to the mini led on my laptop. Had to return it for these reasons.

Picked this up a couple of days ago took me a while to rearrage my setup. This thing is massive and the picture is amazing. I was indecisive on this model or the previous year model due to ppi and text fridging. I cannot see any text fridges or blur to my eye. The anti glare on the screen is nice and the curve makes it feel very immersive. Overall id say its awesome.

A must have! Best monitor ever. Super impactful!

The color quality is great. Clean color and added features does not make your eyes tired.

LG has released their new UltraGear Curved 45" OLED Gaming Smart Monitor, and it doesn't disappoint. The box includes the monitor, base, stand (connects base to monitor), HDMI cable, DP cable, USB-C cable, remote control, power cable with transformer (split), and quick user guide/paperwork. The monitor comes with a manufacturer's 2-year warranty. PROS: ----------- * Very good way to assemble - NO screws are used or tools needed. It includes 2 butterfly bolts on the bottom of the monitor (see picture) that screw into the stand, and the stand clicks into the monitor. Thank you, LG, for making this quick and easy!! * The size is GREAT, and the curvature isn't too much, at least for me. It does have a SERIOUS curve though (see pic) if viewed from the top. It's not for everyone, but for gaming, it's pretty cool to have "surround view". If the monitor is close up, the monitor literally puts you in the middle of the action. * The HDR 400 TRUE BLACK is for real. I haven't seen many monitors this black before when a pixel is "off". * G-SYNC compatible and FreeSync Premium Pro technology depending on your PC with nearly no delay at 0.03ms. * The joystick under the center of the monitor is easy to use. The menus are easy to navigate. * The ability to run streaming apps (and other apps) on the monitor make this a dual threat * The options in the monitor menus are numerous - too many to name here. More popular items might be the FPS being always ON in any corner of the monitor, dark room mode, crosshair, black levels, eARC support, and the ability to change the Gaming Dashboard icons when it is brought up. * The 240 FPS is for real. Playing games with seamless movement is incredible, especially when microseconds count. * LOW Glare. This is always important on every monitor and TV. * The monitor has the ability to move up/down and rotate slightly left and right (see picture for rear pivot point). It has slight tilt front-to-back, and does NOT have rotate ability. * The WebOS can connect via wired ethernet or with Wifi. * It's buried in the monitor settings, but you can turn on/off the lighting on the back of the monitor to 4 different colors, multi-color (breathing fade), or OFF. CONS: ----------- * LG's WebOS just has a rickety design in my opinion. * The remote works fine but needs to design a better-feeling remote. This one works fine but the main center point doesn't feel "well-designed" because of the raised bump as the ENTER key. I like the concave dimple which is used on a number of other smart remotes. It just gives a better feel of where the arrow keys are. * If you get into the menu of the monitor (using the joystick), you can't EXIT the menu with the joystick. You have to use the remote control or wait for the menu to timeout. * The multi-screen option is ok but needs some work. It's clunky at best and only gives 2 options - side-by-side, and picture-in-picture, and has limited options. And if you use side-by-side with the PC as one of the windows, everything will be super small due to the massive size of the screen compacted into half the monitor. Now if you're watching video, it might work ok, but in the 2nd window, you have AirPlay, OS browser, camera, and LG share. If you want to split up windows, you're better off just using Windows 11 split screens or adjusting manually apps or different web-based video platforms. * The remote does not have bluetooth (BT) capability. It uses IR (line-of-sight) only. * The sound is average and is aimed downward. This is pretty normal for monitors - get a PC sound system or sound bar. MAJOR APPS SUPPORTED IN THE LG STORE: ------------------------------------------------- Netflix (quick button on remote) Prime Video (quick button on remote) Disney+ (quick button on remote) LG Channels (quick button on remote) Sling TV (quick button on the remote) Accuweather Amazon Music AMC Theaters on Demand Apple Music Apple TV CBS News CBS Sports Discovery GO ET Live Food Network GO Fubo TV Hallmark Movies NOW HBOmax HG TV GO Hulu Newsmax OAN Live Pandora Paramount+ Peacock Peloton Plex PlutoTV QVC/HSN Redbox Showtime Showtime Anytime SiriusXM Spotify Starz The CW TikTok TV TLC GO Tubi Twitch UFC Universal+ Vudu Xfinity Stream YouTube YouTube Kids YouTube TV ** There are a lot more apps available (ie. kids, foreign languages, screensavers, digital/analog clocks, movies, games, etc) ** Some apps require the user to create an LG account on the TV before they can be installed. ONE notable app not in the WebOS store is DirecTV Stream. This is huge miss by LG as it is a major streaming TV platform. OTHER OBSERVATIONS: ----------- * Note this is not a 4K monitor. It's simply FHD in a 21:9 aspect ratio (3440x1440). This resolution allows for more real estate while at the same time allowing for an incredible 240Hz refresh rate. * Ports on the rear include 2 HDMI, 1 USB-C, 1 DP, 2 USB, Ethernet, and power. There is a 3.5mm headphones jack on the underside about 2 inches to the left of the joystick. In that same location, there is a rectangle hole for a computer/monitor lock to be affixed. * The coin battery used for the basic remote is a CR2025/3V. * There is about 1/4" black digital border around the screen. CONCLUSION: ===================== The WebOS and multi-menus from different aspects keep the user experience sub-optimal in that respect. The clunky remote should also be updated. Having said that, this monitor, once connected to your PC and everything is set up, it performs well and has an incredible picture and refresh rate. The fact that you can use the monitor as a PC connection or streaming TV is always a plus. Keep in mind that if you watch streaming, it will be in 16:9. This is my first curved-screen monitor, and I'm getting used to it. So far, I like it. I don't use many of the apps as it's my main PC gaming monitor. If LG can fix a few of the menu quirks and other annoyances, this monitor could be the real deal. I'd still recommend though. The picture is the primary focus, and it's quite good.

I cannot say enough about how amazing this 34 inch 240 Hz OLED curve screen is. As one who games quite a bit, having the extra real estate along with a nice subtle curve, high refresh rate and OLED is game changing. Inside the box, you get the monitor stand in a base. You also get a display port cable, HDMI cable, USB-C cable, and the remote. Overall set up was a breeze and the thumb screw for the base attaching to the stand itself was extremely easy to put together so kudos LG for that. This game on monitor also serves as a smart TV has a nice little hub where you can download your favorite streaming apps. As I stated earlier, the overall real estate on this 1440 P monitor is amazing and whenever you couple that with 240 Hz refresh rate, it makes for an extremely enjoyable gaming experience. I think most if not all people that utilize this monitor as either a game monitor or a smart TV will be extremely impressed with the performance and beautiful picture. I could not be more pleased with this monitor.

Absolutely amazing screen with such vivid colors. I haven't have any issues of burn in even after leaving it un attended for longer than I probably should have. The screen is big enough to split it in half and basically have two monitors which is nice if you are multitasking. I did have an issues of one of the pixels not working properly but I went digging throug the settings and found pixel repair option and ran that which fixed the one pixel that wasn't working for some reason. I mainly play FPS games, and I can say I would definitely recommend this to someone. It just takes a couple of hours to get used to the curve, but OLED is so nice.

I have the older version of this monitor and my husband has this version. He says the image quality is better. I love that this version has built in speakers. They're not the greatest, but they're good. Love that the remote is more responsive. Love that it has webOS, just like our LG TV! I thought the curve and size the monitor would be too big but I don't think either of us could ever go back to a non-curved monitor nor a dual monitor. It enhances productivity and lessens the strain on the body. I think it's worth the cost, especially on sale, but even at full price, it's just the best monitor on the market.

This is a pricey monster. I will say I wish I would have done just a little more research, but, in 2025, I didn’t think it’d be an issue…especially with a monitor at this price point. The DPI on this monitor is LOW. If you’re doing work that requires pixel-precision (graphic design and whatnot), I’d recommend not going with this monitor. I do basic office-type work, so I’ve gotten comfortable with it. Now, on the flip side of that, as a gaming monitor? This thing is an absolute beast. Excellent color, the OLED display is perfect, not to mention the response time. I’ve been locked in replaying Cyberpunk and it has been stellar. The added functionality of being able to connect my laptop via USB-C and just simply change sources is a plus.

Unfortunately, I didn't have time to review the Samsung OLED G9 49" before sending it in for repair and then demanding my money back. But since I've had this monitor, the difference has been huge. The size is perfect, the screen curvature is immersive, and the image is crystal clear. The 240Hz refresh rate makes FPS games feel spectacularly immersive. I recommend this monitor 100%. The only negative thing I can say is that I don't understand why gaming monitors suddenly became Smart TVs... My personal recommendation: Buy Geek Squad protection. You never know. LG 1 - Samsung 0

I thought that it may have been too wide until I started using it and within minutes I knew I could never go back to anything smaller. I am a day trader, always having multiple active screens and it is just works. I love it and even though I have kept my two older monitors, I already know they won’t get switched on anytime soon.

Amazing display. Contrast, clarity and crispness are exceptional regardless of data being displayed (video or application). Bought for my wife to concurrently work from MS Word to Excel and have enough space for the spreadsheet. Obviously over-spec’d but she has been spending 12 hr days with very little eye strain.

This serves as a no toot and smart television at the same. It makes me feel like I have a fire stick set up on it because the software is already there with all the apps I need to enjoy movie entertainment. It’s a win-win. It’s clarity is a plus and make for working at home a breeze.

I’ve been playing counter-strike for decades at this point, and never have i experienced it like this. the screens curvature and the massive real estate makes gaming on an FPS more immersive than ever before. I’m not sure how gamers on other genres would feel (I can’t imagine anyone preferring less screen space) but as a lover of first person shooters, this is a must have if your pockets can handle it.

The LG UltraGear 45" OLED is a premium gaming monitor that delivers on its promises. If you're looking for a display that offers both exceptional visual fidelity and top-tier gaming performance, this monitor should be at the top of your list. It's an investment, but one that truly elevates your gaming and entertainment experience. Highly recommended!

Excellent product! I’m using it for PS5 only, which I know is pretty much overkill, but it looks and performs very well. For what I do, it’s more than enough, but I would imagine that it would handle much more quite easily. So far it does everything as advertised.

Didn't end up opening the box. Decided to go with a 49" ultrawide, which I then decided to also return for two 27" 5ks do to the scaling issue on Macs. I can't really comment on the quality of this display.

Awsome as a monitor but as far as a TV Not so much, Picture isn't clear and frame rate sucks. I don't thing it's my internet because I have 10g internet. If your wanting this as monitor it's worth every penny. There maybe some setting that I don't know how to set as far as the TV. Also I did get it when it was on sale.

Great picture, took a little getting used too for the amount of curve in the screen but its fine now. Great for gaming and streaming.

I got it a discount as open box. The battery on the control was dead so previous person who bought it must of assumed it was useless. Is huge, 250hrtz at a discount umm yeah buy it
