The Ultimate Monitor–Immersive, Fast, and Gorgeous

The LG UltraGear 45" OLED is one of the best gaming monitors money can buy. It combines cutting-edge tech, outstanding visuals, and ultra-responsive performance in a sleek, immersive package. If you're a serious gamer, content creator, or just someone who appreciates top-tier tech, this monitor is a phenomenal investment.
Price: It’s a premium product, and the price reflects that. But if you want the best, this is worth it.
OLED Burn-In: Always a minor concern with OLEDs, but LG includes some features to help mitigate this (screen shift, auto brightness limiter, etc.).

This thing is awesome! Was going to get the Samsung OLED G9, which is also very nice, but it gives up to much vertical screen space vs the LG. This monitor is really the perfect size to suck you into whatever game you are playing.

This monitor is beyond gorgeous and it should be for the price.
Absolutely stunning colors, deep blacks, and the massive screen real estate allows you to view multiple documents, etc. all at one time.
And watching movies… Incredible!
Since it is OLED, I would highly recommend adding the extended warranty through Best Buy.

You cannot beat this monitor for gaming. The level of immersion is insane and the oled just makes it so good. Not as great for productivity but still not bad once you get used to minor text fringing issues. If youve been thinking about it i highly recommend it. Beat gaming experience you can buy right now.

This monitor immerses me into whatever is it I’m doing with its sheer size! The upgrade to 1440p is fantastic compared to my old monitor, and the refresh rate is quick. Love it, it’s a beast

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.

Absolutely love it! Playing games on here is amazing and you don’t feel like you have to be struggling to see the whole screen! I definitely love the curve and it doesn’t feel different even when watching movies and the video quality is super clear and pretty.

Bought used with under 32hrs. The oled panel with the ultrawide curve is perfect. 21:9 is now my main resolution and i dont think i can go back to 16:9 unless its a big tv lol. Very worth the money saving for this.

Bought this a few days ago. I really like this monitor size.
Its very clear for a 1440p monitor and beautiful colors.
Swiched from a 240hz 4k 32 inch monitor to this 1440p 45 inch 240hz monitor because it looks really good. Lights and darks are really bright and really true to black plus it was on sale. Highly recommend it. Its 45 inch monitor but measures 39 inches wide size which fit my desk area perfect!

LG-UltraGear 45 Oled really proved to be a reliable high end monitor for both gaming and work, with best buy's return policy I was able to replace my LG-UltraGear 32 Inch 4k Oled Monitor with this one and I am loving it for it's worth, won't be changing to a new one anytime soon !

The GOAT gaming monitor

Outstanding!
The color depth of this monitor is perfect for any game, making landscapes surreal while still having the response times and frame rate that you want for competitive games like Marvel Rivals.
There is no backlight so when black is displayed on the screen, it is truly black leaving massive amounts of headroom for the brightest brights.
With this display I can easily track obstacles or enemies on screen with the ultra low response times and lightning fast frame rates.
The hexagon shaped RGB on the back of the display is just bright enough to add some nice ambience while not being too bright to the point where it distracts from what is on-screen.
With this display even while HDR is enabled I never have to spend hours tweaking the brightness settings to get that color and contrast accuracy that you want when playing dimly lit horror games or games that portray deep space with very high contrast.
I love it!
This purchase was honestly a bit steep for me, but I eventually convinced my console-gamer wife to allow me to make the purchase, and after seeing it in action even she agrees it was well worth the expense!

I have had this monitor for almost 6 months.
Main use is my my racing sim PS5 and PC racing.
Definitely worth the especially at the current sale price in 11-2024 of $1,000. Colors are vibrant and monitor is bright enough for me. Even tho it isn’t 4k not a deal breaker for me. Don’t need 4k for sim racing.
The curve on this one is insane!!!
Do not know about bright room with monitor. I have it in darker room.
Overall would buy another LG ultra gear monitor again.

This is a BEAST of a monitor!! I got an incredible open box deal that I could not pass up. The wife loves it too for work when she works from home. 240hz and OLED make it pure magic. Plus the flex status with the bros. They are super jelly and want to play on it.

I purchased this monitor with very high expectations and it has lived up to all of them. I stream on Twitch, make some content for YT but mostly I play games and consume various entertainment via streaming services. The video quality and response times are fantastic! Playing FPS games like APEX Legends is so much better when you can actually see everything! The aggressive 800R curve is so immersive I wish I had pulled the trigger on this a long time ago!

LG C3 to LG UltraGear 45

I initially came in and bought the LG C3. I loved it but after having an Odyssey G9 it’s hard to go to a tv. I’m a pc gamer and unless you’re running a 4090 series setup it just didn’t look the best. So I took it back and paid the difference and bought the LG UltraGear 45. This thing blows my G9 out of the water. I absolutely love the video quality and for those of you wondering the .03 response time is the real deal. Holy God is it good in first person shooters like COD or Destiny 2. Probably the best monitor I’ve ever had. Not to mention it lights up from behind. The curve is super immersive. It’s not cheap but well worth the money!

This monitor is beyond amazing. Playing any game on it especially destiny 2 and valorant are very vibrant and the detail is crazy on all high settings. This was the best decision I could have ever made. It definitely leveled up my gaming experience. This monitor also has its own speakers!! And it’s amazing for watching movies. It can get really loud too which is a great thing. I’m honestly surprised it came with its own volume.

I absolutely love this monitor. I had the 34" version first and loved it, just wanted something bigger. The curve and size are perfect for my gaming desk. I normally would play on my 85" TCL but find I'm spending much more time in front of this one.
