Customer Ratings & Reviews

Out of the box the initial appearance of the monitor seemed a bit darker than I preferred, but after some adjustments (changing gaming mode to vivid and adjusting the black stabilizer to 65) it looks amazing! The colors are rich and the 800R curve makes for an immersive gaming experience. The remote is a nice feature and easy to use. LG also offers onscreen controls via download giving you the option to use either or. The only draw back would be the ppi which is around 84 pixels per sq in. Otherwise this is an amazing monitor for gaming and productivity. If you can get this monitor on sale dont hesitate, its worth it!

Really good monitor. Great colors and amazing for video games. The only issue with the monitor for me was that at the size, the resolution was a bit too low. It is perfect for gaming but when looking at text or using it for work, the low ppi really shows itself. If you’re a gamer and you want a big and immersive monitor, this is for you. 240hz and OLED.

I've had this monitor for a little over six months now. I had reservations about something so big, but it's been amazing. I use it for work and then I switch the input and use it for gaming. For work, it's taken the place of two monitors and given me space back on my desk. For gaming, it's been a game changer with amazing refresh, vivid coloration, and it's sold me on a curved monitor. Definitely thrilled with my purchase and had absolutely no buyer's remorse for the past 6 months!

I was torn on what to rate this item, as it really depends on what you are using it for. As a gaming monitor its a great device, particularly when you use something that can really utilize the full screen such as sim racing. I use my computer as mixed use and this is where the drawbacks come in. This has a a pretty low PPI, so whenever you are doing something with text on the screen, particularly browsing the internet or looking at documents, the text just isnt very clear at all. Its not unusable, but just distracting sometimes, particularly over a long period of time. If you stick to gaming then this is a great monitor and i woukd recommend this without hesitation. If you are multi-tasking, then i would at least keep in mind the PPI and see if the store has one to put your eyes on.

First off this thing is huge! This review is for the 45'' Ultra gear OLED curved gaming monitor WQHD with 240Hz Refresh Rate and 0.03ms Response Time. I feel like it wraps around me and puts me on the battlefield. The colors are very bright and radiant. And has an awesome response time of 240hz. This is by far the best gaming monitor I have ever owned/seen. And unlike others, I have been very happy when doing productivity stuff like word and excel. I run a small business and have a second pc just for work. So both my gaming pc and work pc are hooked up to this monitor. And I love how easy it is to switch between the inputs with the provided remote control for the monitor. As far as ports go, I do wish it had more than one display port. On the back you will find only one display port, two hdmi 2.1 ports, 3 usb ports with an headphone jack on the bottom side. And despite its size, the monitor stand is super sturdy. And very easily to adjust up and down or side to side. Please keep in mind you will need a graphics card that can supports displayport 1.4 or HDMI 2.1 to achieve the up to 240Hz refresh rate. All in all I am very happy, and this will be my new every day monitor replacing the dual set up I had.

The best gaming monitor currently on the market. There is only so much one can say on this thing as its just an amazing experience to use especially on PC. It works great with 1440p VRR on the PS5 and Series X and while gaming on those the games will have letter boxes on each side its still about the size of a 32" OLED display although in 1440p. Cons Price, its obviously expensive but early adopters fee I suppose, hopefully it comes down some. Also text can be fuzzy at this size with this resolution

This monitor has been a game-changer for my setup. The picture quality is sharp, vibrant, and delivers the kind of clarity that makes both gaming and everyday use feel premium. The high refresh rate is the real star here — gameplay feels incredibly smooth, and the difference is immediately noticeable in fast-paced shooters and racing games. Colors are bright and accurate right out of the box, and the viewing angles are great whether I’m gaming, watching movies, or editing. Motion blur is practically non-existent, and the response time makes everything feel snappy and responsive. Build quality is solid, the stand feels sturdy (not wobbly like some monitors), and the slim bezels make it perfect for multi-monitor setups. Setting it up was simple, and the on-screen settings menu is user-friendly, so dialing in personal preferences was easy. For gaming, it performs like a champ, but it’s also awesome for productivity. I’ve been able to use it for long sessions without eye strain thanks to the eye-care settings and smooth display. Overall, this is a fantastic monitor for the price. Whether you're a competitive gamer, casual player, or someone who wants a clean, high-quality display for work and entertainment, this monitor delivers on all fronts. Absolutely recommend it.

Coming from a 32" 4K monitor with Mini LED backlighting I did not think I would be as impressed with this monitor as I am. Despite the massive 45" size 1440p still makes a decent resolution for this monitor (of course it's best appreciated from about 1.5-2 feet back). Despite the rated max 200 cd/m2 brightness in real life it appears much brighter than that as the OLED pixels are extremely vivid and have nearly perfect angled viewability. And under HDR conditions zoned pixels can get much brighter. In terms of burn in or image retention the monitor does an excellent job securing preventing these issues from happening with a number of built in failsafes. The smoothness & motion clarity on this monitor is second to none with 240Hz and an unbelievable 0.03ms color response. Lastly, the material and build quality are immaculate as, despite using a lot of metals and being so large, actually feels pillowy-light at a total of 20lbs for the assembled unit. If you have the cash and are looking for a jaw dropping gaming PC expeirence then this should definitely be on your wishlist.

The absolute best monitor for gaming I have ever used. Large size, vibrant colors, fast refresh rate, exceptionally smooth motion and perfect contrast. I use it for productivity too with no burn-in and I've been using it for 1 year. Although the text is not as crisp as some 4K models it is still sharp and easy to read. Highly recommended.

So at first I was shocked with the way the picture looks. But after a few days of using the monitor I got used. Now I can say with certainty that this monitor is awesome. Both productivity and gaming work great.

The experience of owning this monitor came with more than I would have expected. First off the fact that it is OLED was a game changer for consuming HDR content and playing games like Dead Space remake and God of War. Colors are so vibrant. It basically envelopes your entire peripheral vision making content more immersive. The problems I had with it were not being able to update firmware on 2 separate monitors and full screen brightness was dimmer than my odyssey g7 32 1440p monitor. I thought that hdr 1000 was at least like 500-700 nits of brightness kind of like how some monitors are advertised as hdr but only certified for hdr 300. There needs to be more transparency in the industry but that is a whole other conversation. I’ve learned that sustained brightness has to do with how much the panel can be cooled to keep oled pixels from getting too hot and accelerating burn in. Text looks weird against a white background almost looking blurred. I think that firmware updates would address the issue but I was never able to update. It would proceed for a while but then error out at like 60% and prompt me to disconnect power and try again. The final deal breaker was when I launched into a game, the monitor would switch into different modes(hdr or game mode even though I turned them on in osd) causing weird anomalies like when alt tabbing it would have to switch back into the main mode I set it into the osd. It felt jankey and even having the game in borderless it would still happen. If there are problems similar to this please reply as I would like to know if other monitors are like this or if I just haven’t set it up properly. Is it windows 10 hdr bugging out ( Modern warfare 2019 looked better in sdr and brighter than hdr even with the hdr tuning in settings). As a side you will need a monitor arm that can support its weight. I got the WALI Single Monitor Gas Spring Desk Mount, Heavy Duty Monitor Arm for Ultrawide Screen up to 35 inch, 33 lbs. Fully Adjustable, VESA 75 and 100 (GSM001XL) and it worked perfectly. I hope that my issues are just me not understanding how hdr works and not being set up properly for optimal experience as I would like to get another better specked monitor in the future.

Amazing color the curve is perfect for anyone wqnting the true imeserive experience and high end refresh rate for a reasonable price

Bought this to replace an ultra wide, not sorry I did. OLED colors are so vibrant. Extra height, and curve totally immerses you in the game. Response time is great no lag.

Absolute beast of a monitor, this was my first time using ultrawide so I was nervous about the black bars that would show, but since this is an OLED, idk why but your mind just forgets it’s there and comes naturally. Of course since it is an OLED, the colors look absolutely AMAZING, i played baldurs gate 3 from an ips to this and can I say that it was absolutely stunning, if you’re thinking about getting an ultrawide, definitely keep this as an option!!

Amazing display with great color - been waiting for a good OLED panel for a while. This is a 2k panel with a 240hz refresh and HDR. Been amazing for gaming. The screen space has been amazing for productivity. I upgraded from the 34" ultra wide from the last model. I can see how some people would like it to be 4k but it hasn't bothered me much. Running this with a 4070TI and it's been smooth! Great to watch shows/movies/twitch on. Can't get over the perfect blacks finally in dark scenes. It is expensive but if you can afford it, definitely worth. I was fortunate to pass this cost off as a WFH office need.

If you are in market for an OLED gaming screen, look no further. I tried the Samsung G9 but it doesn't even come close to this. 800R curve just makes all the difference. 4K would have been a perfect 10 especially for productivity but again the target audience is gamers, as a gamer you would be thoroughly impressed. Its no easy job to run this display. You would need at least an RTX 4070/ 4070 Ti Super to game at the 120Hz+.

This thing is a Monster. I've been waiting for an "all encompassing" gaming monitor. What is it? 21:9 ratio Ultra Wide 3440 x 1440 Resolution (1440p is the sweet spot for gaming) Don't let any website fool you about "gaming in 4k" < it's completely useless as you'll need a $1,000+ graphics card to even push frames in an enjoyable manner. OLED < Incredible depth of color (Not ideal for accurate Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop professional editing). You'd be better off with a 4K IPS monitor instead of you also dabble in the creative spaces. 240Hz Refresh Rate > This means as long as you have a graphics card to push up to that limit (resolution depending sometimes) you'll have a great ceiling where this monitor will render your high-FPS (frames per second) games. G-Sync compatible > Same as above, ensures that your frames lock in sync w/ your Graphics cards' output which eliminates tearing. Just ensure you have V-Sync or dynamic sync enabled in your favorite games. Games testing w/ this Monitor: WoW > natively supports 21:9 ultrawide and OMG are dungeons and raids amazing w/ this monitor. Note.. if you screen cap your gameplay w/ the likes of NVidia shadowplay you will have black bars above and below when viewing on non 21:9 monitors. The recent Forza (Fort-ZA) Motorsport. In menu you'll have black bars, and up until the race starts. But when the race engages, it'll strangely flip to your 21:9 full screen ratio. It.... Looks.... amazing in this game! Battlefield 2042 and other FPS games. The extra width from 21:9 gives you a big advantage when scoping in as you'll have more periphery at your disposal. Other features: Power saving modes are great and ensure your OLED doesn't have burn-in. If your budget allows for it, this or the Samsung are great options as this level of merged Tech has not been at this pricepoint before. The curve is also perfect as it captures your entire periphery. I don't use the stand since I Vesa mounted it (May require support if your arm-mount is weak. The stand does take up a lot of desk Space if you don't Vesa mount it.

Upgrading from a Samsung LC27T55 (1080p / 75Hz) to the LG UltraGear 45” OLED 240Hz has been a massive leap. The move to 3440×1440 ultrawide instantly made everything sharper and more immersive. The 45” curve pulls you into games, and the OLED panel is the real game-changer. Going from 75Hz to 240Hz is night and day. Motion is buttery smooth, response time is practically instant, and with FreeSync and G-Sync compatibility, gameplay is flawless. It’s a premium monitor, but coming from 1080p, this feels like stepping into an entirely different tier of performance and visual quality.

I've had this for 2 weeks now, and paid almost exactrly $1,600 after taxes with the sale going on. I have never owned an OLED tv or monitor before, and my previous 2 monitors were LED or MiniLed and only 144hz. I had a 32" for a very long time and i needed someting bigger with the way that I wanted to use it and it was not good enough, so I bought the only thing at a decent price - a 40" flat screen 144hz monitor... that was very good for a few months but I was starting to hut my back bending left and right to see the sides of the monitor--- it doesnt sound very big- but when youre 2 feet away from a 40" screen its crazy how far away things look.... then I saw this beauty here on sale I said screw it and slapped down my credit card, it was time for a change!!! So to go on about this 45" beast oled - I never imagined oled was so much better than led-- this blew me away just by itself-- then theres all the features on the monitor itself to make it look different ways at a couple quick pushes of the CONTROLLER you get -- NO MORE BUTTONS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN!!!!! I was so happy about that!! The blacks on the screen are pure-- there is some sort of illuminated effect going on when its a very dark sceen (usually only when watching movies) - but this problem is much better than all the monitors ive ever had in the past - If I have a 25Gb file for a hour long show the quality is pretty good, not much compression-- it took a bit of combining the computer settings with the monitor settings, but again that controller is amazing-- but I think I got it the best it can be on a couple modes-- and if theres more than usual weird stuff going on then i just use the controller to change to a different HDR mode and BOOM, fixed!!! No more slogging around with your display settings in whatever gpu you use. This thing is a beast at 45" -- moving myself back to use it to watch a movie when i pull up my lazyboy - just eyeballing it, its not much bigger from afar compared to the 40" due to the high curve--- but for gaming OMG - sitting close to this and using it for anything at all. it is un-believable how good this looks. AND ITS 240 HZ!!!! AAAHH This thing ROCKS.
