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.

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.

This is an excellent oled monitor. I have been using this for work and gaming for about 5 months now and I have 0 complaints. Just know that it needs a decently powerful desktop to run any games and truely take advantage of its 240HZ panel

Forstly this monitor is amazing. OLED is truly game changing and the insane curve makes gaming truy immersive. Coming from and alienware ultrawide the 240 panel is great as well but you will need some serious horsepower to get there. My first issue amd my biggest complaint is how Gsync works with this monitor. Its says its “compatable” but its poorly implmented. With most games you will get this flashing and strobing affect whenever the framerate fluctuates, theres nothing tjat can fix this as it is a byproduct of how the tech wrons, the gamma is fluctuating woth the framerste and that is what causes the flashing. Second issues is the PPI. At 84 its just too low. Looks as if your looking trough a screen door. If it werent for the Gsync issues this could be overlooked. A great monitor with some big drawbacks.

I would honestly rate this a 4.8/5 stars. This is a great monitor, probably one of the best gaming monitors out there! I really believe this will be a flagship monitor from LG for years to come. The display is incredible! Games look amazing on this! The deep blacks OLED's are known for are on full display here. The UW 45" is just right, I really do feel immersed in the games and content I use. It definitely takes getting used to but it is well worth the blood, sweat and tears you'll pour into the games like CoD:WZ. The panel looks amazing! I love the thin bezel (although, I feel for an OLED, they can be thinner than what you get; my S95B OLED TV has thinner bezels) The RGB lighting on the bottom and the rear of the monitor are a nice touch, not too bright and not too annoying. The remote is a nice touch, it makes it easier to navigate instead of the cumbersome controls on other monitors. The 240Hz and .03Ms response time are definitely something to boast about. I upgraded from a 165Hz LCD, and have noticed the speed to be noticeable. The one con I really can say about this monitor is the low PPI. Most of the complaints from other reviewers say the same thing - the text doesn't look as sharp and seems to strain my eyes for longer periods of time; but for gaming, I don't have this issue. Overall, I absolutely love this monitor. I believe this will be a staple on my desk for years to come. It's beautiful, the LG quality is present, and so far, I haven't noticed any burn-in. the monitor has features that HELP prevent screen-burn-in. LG are the pioneers when it comes to OLED technology and their years of expertise is recognized here; I haven't had any burn-in in the weeks of using it. I've left it on a game screen for minutes with no worry. The pixel cleaning and screen shift preventative screen burn-in precautions are also noticed on this. again, this helps with it but does not guarantee it. but again, so far it's been good, no complaints from me TLDR: Excellent display for gaming, low PPI is it's only weak point; Great build quality; awesome OLED display; 240Hz, .03MS response time; UW; near perfect gaming monitor

This things a beast! I struggled with purchasing this because its a huge financial decision, but let me tell you, from the moment I plugged this thing in and started gaming it made the games so much more immersive. The curved screen paired with the 2k resolution with the low latency still amazes me every time I turn this thing on. Definitely recommend for serious gamers.

This is one of the best 240hz OLED monitors for 2023, IF you care more about the refresh rate, and play games that can actually reach 200hz+, AND IF, you are techy enough to setup the right viewing distance, configure the Windows OS, your desktop, productivity apps, and games, to run seamlessly on it. Keep in mind this isn't just as simple as turning on HDR in both Windows settings and game settings. You need detailed technical knowledge and understanding to resolve a few issues before you can enjoy this monitor. But, if you are able to, then this monitor is the best one around in my opinion. The biggest issues with this monitor are Brightness and DPI (how small and detailed are the pixels). (1) The brightness issue The brightness issue only matters if you are showing literally very bright colors on more than 10% of the screen. For most games, this means a few cutscenes that are supposed to look bright everywhere, would just look dim. There is no good workaround for brightness. But one technical detail matters. In game, I'd keep settings at 1000 nits. For most games, if you tell them the real nits configuration of OLED monitors, then they simply mess up the colors and it looks awful. And in reality, most of the scenes never reach 1000 nits on enough area to cause dimming anyways. This might sound like a deal breaker but the monitor can get very bright, in small patches. This means if there is a fire in a medium or dark scene, or if there are magic particles in a scene, they really pop. And if you know how to use custom shaders, then you might have some fun time trying to make the game pop on OLED. (2) DPI issues Don't sit too close! I sit about 2 full arms away. Sitting too close makes the screen look pixelated. It can also cause or worsen motion sickness. (3) Issues with Productivity Apps Windows ClearType will NOT apply the right fonts by default. You need to reconfigure this. Otherwise all the fonts look really awful on this monitor. If you care about burn ins, there are ways to configure windows desktop background and taskbar to just show complete darkness. Then you can either script the browsers and office apps to move by themselves and avoid burn in, or just manually move them. (4) Compatibility issues, random software crashes Once in a while, you'll notice your screen showing a buggy image. This can look scary like your screen broke. But it's easy to resolve. Just switch the monitor's input signal to another / blank slot, and then switch back. Workaround might be to avoid turning off the screen and then immediately turning it back on. I've noticed that this makes the bug show up more often. Also, there are lots of compatibility issues with fullscreen games, and with Nvidia GSYNC. For the most part, this means your screen might go blank for 2 seconds if you ALT-TAB, or just randomly at any time if you enabled GSYNC. Workaround is to disable GSYNC, configure games to run in borderless fullscreen mode (instead of just fullscreen mode). (5) This is just a small ask for more features It would be really helpful if the hardware split-screen feature can be configured to any ratio. Right now it's hardcoded to just split the screen in half by width. I'd rather get a 16:9 on the left / right, and then use whatever number of pixels left for other stuff. Another great option would be to have a 16:9 split in the center, and then have two smaller vertical splits on both sides (Using 3 cables) This would really help with productivity. (I tried the software that comes with the monitor but it's not the same as a real hardware split monitor mode)

I just got this monitor and it's incredible. Yes, I'll address this: The pixel density is about the same as a 27 inch 1920x1080 or a 35 inch 2560x1080, but the screen is just so incredible and immersive and the HDR colors look really good on this monitor. Not a lot of monitors have good HDR. The brightness with HDR on as well, if you calibrate correctly, is very good even in a bright room. However, unless you're right up close to your monitor, the gaming experience is excellent, I'd say second to none even. Inky blacks and ultra high fps, and it being 1440p actually helps achieve 240fps or somewhat close to, for those of us who don't have a 4090 or any 40 series for that matter. If it was 4k, or even 1600p, it would be that much more demanding. The monitor also has OLED care built in like image and pixel cleaning along with automatic screen shifting periodically (you can set the intervals) to prevent sticking. I truly believe they thought of everything for this monitor. Sure it's 1440p, but you can drive it to 240fps because of that so I am a fan. If you're on the fence, I'd say go for it. It's VERY expensive. If you're ultimately a gamer, and you don't sit one foot (or less) away from your screen, you will enjoy it. The curve is one of the most intense I've seen, but it's absolutely acceptable in person, and to an extent, preferable. In pictures it may look too aggressive, but you have to just sit in front of it for yourselves. If anything, buy it from a place with a good return policy and try it. Videos won't do ANY justice. You need to see it for yourself. On a side note. The remote is excellent, if anything it's a heaven-sent because the one button under the monitor to operate the OSD sucks. That's about my only complaint. If you have a LG TV though, they will interfere with each other.

Amazing color, screen and refresh rate! The curved screen makes you feel part of the game.

Although this is the ultimate gaming monitor, don't pass on the opportunity to experience it's office use. This 45 inch OLED screen eliminates the need for the old two 27 inch monitor setup. No more line deviding my view of content. This is truly the best monitor for gaming and office work. I couldn't have asked for more.

I bought this monitor after returning my Samsung G9 49" OLED. The Samsung, while I think the picture was better just felt too small vertically. I saw this one at Best Buy and found myself thinking about it and really craving the vertical space. I had to go get it. For immersion, this monitor can't be beat. Everything looks amazing on it! I though the low PPI would be a problem, but I barely notice it. Every game I play on it feels like a brand new experience. I find myself loading new games on my PC just see what they look like on this. The only point where I will "ding" it, is the matte finish. LG was SO close to perfection with this monitor I can't believe they decided to go with a matte finish. Why LG, why? I know for some people that may actually be a plus, but I greatly prefer glossy paired with OLED screens and feel this is actually a HUGE drawback for me. Not enough to make me return the monitor, but enough that as I'm playing I'm constantly wishing it was glossy and cognizant of the fact that it is not. Again, may not be a big deal for most people, but for me it is very nearly close to being deal breaking. Where it shines is it's size. I don't think I've ever seen a monitor with this 45" size, and it is glorious in that respect. I believe this size is the absolute perfect sweet spot for a monitor size. The immersion factor when playing games is second to none. Don't get me wrong, I love this monitor but feel that ultimately it will just be a placeholder for me until more glossy OLED monitor alternatives in this size ranged are released.

This monitor exceeded even my high expectations. It's bright, it's big, it's beautiful. But there are some things to know. 1. Driving 3440x1440 at 240hz can be a bit of a nightmare if you use USB c or thunderbolt docks. There is the usual caveat to make sure you're using a nice displayport 1.4 or HDMI 2.1 (both included in the box btw). But almost no docks out there declare their compatibility with this res and refresh, so you're going to be rolling the dice. As an example of the nightmare that I don't blame on the monitor, I have a Dell USB dock for my work laptop, a workstation variant with 2x USB ports connecting the dock. It would sometimes work at 120hz...but other times not. In the end I couldn't even get it to reliably work at 60hz with HDMI...so I connect directly to the laptop. DP may have worked...but that was reserved for my gaming computer. 2. Windows HDR is still a cluster. I don't understand why they don't just work to solve this already. 3. Motion clarity at 240hz is basically perfect. UFO test is mind blowing smooth. I didn't think my eyes could see moving objects that clearly. 4. Cleartext hurts this monitor. What worked best for me was going through the prompts, turning it off, then restarting the computer a couple times. Then most apps seemed to have sharp text. Again...can't believe Microsoft hasn't done something about this, but it's really not bad when you manage to turn it off ..which was a finicky exercise.

As far as gaming in HDR I give it a 10/10 the 3440x1440 gives the current gpus the capabilities of pushing the 240hz refresh rate but that also comes with a major downside. Being 3440×1440 at 45 inches makes the PPI 82, which is horrible for reading text. Even sitting far away I would still get headaches and my eyes straining to try and read. I can only recommend this if you are soley gaming or watching HDR shows but nothing more. I think at this price point though we shouldn't be having to make compromises.

The last monitor you’ll ever need. It’s better than trying to fit dual displays on your desk. 240 hz refresh will require a fairly newer computer. I used a thunderbolt to display port with my laptop. Otherwise I was stuck at 85hz. I use it for software development. Gaming looks fantastic. I plugged in my XBOX Series X and got 120hz which is the limit of the HDMI 2.1 on the XBox. I tried Doom and Sea of Thieves. Just fantastic.

The LG UltraGear 45'' monitor is a game-changer in every sense. From the moment I powered it on, I was immersed in a world of vibrant colors and crystal-clear details. The resolution delivers an unparalleled viewing experience, whether I'm gaming, working, or streaming my favorite shows. The ultra-wide screen provides an expansive canvas for productivity tasks and gaming alike, allowing me to multitask with ease or fully immerse myself in the latest titles. The high refresh rate ensures buttery-smooth gameplay with no motion blur or tearing, giving me a competitive edge in fast-paced games. The build quality is exceptional, with a sleek design that adds a touch of elegance to my setup. The adjustable stand allows for perfect positioning, whether I'm sitting or standing, and the slim bezels create a seamless viewing experience. Overall, the LG UltraGear 45'' monitor has exceeded all my expectations and has become the centerpiece of my setup. If you're looking for uncompromising performance and breathtaking visuals, then look no further.

Ok lemme just say this thing is AMAZING! I've had great monitors before but this hands down makes gaming immersion fantastic! I feel more in it so to speak. The 240hz is really nice and the OLED picture is so crisp. The price i got it for was awesome as well. Large investment but well worth it.Dont Ever go beyond ur means to far but if u can wiggle it in youll never regret it!

I waited five 5 months to put out an honest review. I wanted to make sure this monitor didn’t take a dump on me or gave me any issues in the long run. But five months so far and I have been loving this monitor. The quality has been nothing but sheer beauty. From getting it set up and ready to play was a smooth transition. I got this monitor for $1399 on sale, believe the regular price was $1699 so I am very happy for what I paid for. The game look amazing and it been an OLED just makes the colors, so vibrant and so easy on the eyes. At first I was afraid of buying an OLED monitor because of all the mixed reviews on burnt screen, etc. but I realized when I bought them monitor that LG included this feature where it cleans pixels and does like a screen image clean and that is supposed to help with preventing screen burnt when playing for long hours. Also, if you leave the screen on for too long, the monster has a feature where it will switch the screen off all those little features do help. Only negative thing I gotta say about the monitor is the texture is not as clear as I would like it to be when I’m reading but other than that compared to the whole monitor and what it delivers that’s a small pick of mines. Overall, I’m enjoying the monitor and would definitely buy it again.

Amazing color reproduction. HDR games like Sea of Theives really shin(MY EYES!!!) bright with those NITs. Easy to set up and I'm gonna get a wall mounted arm as the base is very big due to the center of gravity and weight curving in on you. Love it!!

One of the best monitors ever, I have used many but this one stands out, in gaming it makes me feel like I am cheating honestly because how crystal clear I see everything my eyes dont get tired of looking at it playing for hours after all day long working staring at the monitor, enough said worth every penny.

I love it. Great for work and PC gaming. Wouldn’t recommend for consoles, but when playing games on 16:9 without ultra wide support, the black bars are unnoticeable.
