This monitor was easy to setup and has lots of customization in the monitor settings. After using it for about one week I have noticed it will begin to flicker after prolonged use and it seems to indicate that the monitor needs to be turned off and it completes the screen cleaning to prevent burn in and then the monitor is good for a few more hours.

Amazing, the color is beautiful, crisp resolution despite people saying the PPI isn’t enough. It definitely is enough and more. Gameplay feels crazy when you’re “locked in,” taking “immersive” to a whole new level.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! Wish I could review and give zero stars because that's honestly what this monitor needs. Bought this monitor on release day for $1699 plus tax. Got it home and all was well. Didn't really have any issues until 34 days after purchase (of course it was outside the return period) monitor started flickering violently while in game. Chatted with LG customer support and they said to unhook power cable and hold the power button for 15 seconds to do a hard reset. The monitor will then work for a week without issues then begin flickering again. So LG finally came to the conclusion that it needed repaired. They wouldn't send me a box because they didn't have a box big enough for the monitor. None of the local shipping businesses had boxes that it would fit in either. I was told to go to Lowe's and tape some boxes together to rig up my own big box but also that I would be responsible for any shipping damages while in transit. I ended up buying a giant plastic tote and bubble wrap for $85 and sent it off. They've had my monitor since June 30th and said that the parts needed to repair it are backordered and if it's not fixed by July 31th they will offer an alternate solution. This has been nothing but a headache from the start. Buy the Alienware monitor instead. This one will give you nothing but issues. Clearly they've had issues out of this monitor. Why else would the price drop from $1699 to $1099 after a month of being released.

First time switching to OLED and I have to say I i love the monitor. Unfortunately, I've discovered a dead pixel on my unit and will be returning it very soon. Its ashame, but if im paying this much, I can't afford to have even one dead pixel on the panel.

Unmatched speed: With a blistering 240Hz refresh rate and a near-instantaneous 0.03ms response time, the LG UltraGear 45 delivers the smoothest, most responsive gaming experience that I have had in quite some time now. Whether you're tracking fast-moving enemies in a first-person shooter or reacting to split-second cues in a fighting game, this display will ensure that your visuals keep up with your lightning-fast reflexes.
Breathtaking OLED display: LG's OLED technology produces unmatched image quality, with perfect blacks that provide infinite contrast. This means that dark scenes will appear incredibly detailed, with no backlight bleed or IPS glow. Colors are also incredibly accurate, thanks to the monitor's 98.5% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage. This wide color gamut ensures that games and movies will look vibrant and lifelike. OLED technology also offers superior response time and input latency, making it ideal for fast-paced gaming. The display also offers Deep True Black levels, certified True Black 400, offering rich black color expressions, put it this way the blacks are deeper than deep.
Immersive curved design: The massive 45-inch curved display with an aggressive 800R curvature creates a truly cinematic viewing experience that engulfs you in the game. The large size also provides ample real estate for multitasking or working on creative projects, offering a more panoramic view for an even more immersive experience.
Versatile connectivity: The display offers a comprehensive set of connectivity options, including HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, and USB-C port. This selection ensures compatibility with a wide range of gaming PCs and other devices, including laptops, consoles, and even some smartphones. Additionally, the monitor includes a built-in headphone jack and a two-port USB ports, so you can connect all your gaming peripherals without having to worry about running out of ports.
On-Screen Controls: The on-screen control option puts all the controls on this display at your fingertips. From creating different gaming profiles to setting up PIP options and profiles options are simple and seamless.
This is an out of this world gaming monitor but in my opinion only lacks behind in one feature and that is smart features, which this display does not offer any. If LG were to add smart features such as wireless display connection it would make this beyond perfect.
Overall, this monitor for those who demand the absolute best of gaming displays. Combing unmatched speeds with amazing visuals and immersive curvature into one glorious piece of machine. If you can look past the hefty price tag, I would highly recommend that you check out this beast of a gaming monitor.

I’ve been using the LG 49-Inch OLED Ultrawide Monitor with my RTX 4080, and let me tell you, it’s a total game-changer—especially when it comes to gaming.
Gaming at 240Hz Refresh Rate
The 240Hz refresh rate is hands-down one of the best features of this monitor. It makes everything in-game feel buttery smooth. Whether I’m playing a fast-paced shooter or something more immersive like Cyberpunk 2077, the quick refresh rate helps eliminate any lag or stuttering. Paired with the power of my RTX 4080, I can push games to their limits and still enjoy consistent, flawless performance. Every frame just flows into the next—it’s like the game responds to you before you even realize it. In games where speed and reaction time matter, like in Call of Duty or Apex Legends, that’s a huge advantage.
OLED Visuals
What really makes the difference though is the OLED panel. Honestly, the visual quality is unbelievable. The colors pop, and the blacks are just… black, not that washed-out gray you get on regular monitors. It makes games that use dynamic lighting, like Horizon Zero Dawn, look insanely real. You feel like you’re in the world, especially in darker environments where OLED really shines.
Immersive Ultrawide Display
And then there’s the 49-inch ultrawide aspect. For games that have huge, expansive worlds—think Red Dead Redemption 2 or even racing games like Forza Horizon—the extra screen real estate pulls you in like never before. Plus, I can see so much more on the screen without constantly having to move the camera around. It just feels more natural, more immersive.
Smooth Gameplay with FreeSync and G-Sync
Of course, the monitor’s G-Sync and FreeSync compatibility means no screen tearing, no ghosting, none of that annoying stuff that can pull you out of the experience. With the RTX 4080 handling the heavy lifting, it’s an absolute beast for gaming, and the monitor just keeps up.
Perfect for Multitasking
Outside of gaming, the ultrawide screen is also a blessing for multitasking. When I’m editing videos or streaming, I can have everything open on the same screen without having to jump between windows constantly. It’s like having two monitors in one, and the workflow feels so smooth, PPI is not an issue if dont look very close at the monitor, which most of us dont do anyway
Final Thoughts
Overall, the LG 49-Inch OLED Ultrawide is an absolute powerhouse when paired with the a good powerful gaming PC. If you’re into competitive gaming or just want the most immersive experience possible, this monitor delivers in every way.
