After using one for several weeks, I can confidently say that it’s a true game-changer. The colors pop in a way that’s almost surreal, providing a level of vibrancy that makes everything from landscapes to character designs come to life.

Whether you’re playing fast-paced FPS games or competitive esports titles, the monitor’s 1ms response time ensures a smooth and fluid experience.

As with any OLED display, you should be cautious of burn-in, however this OLED gaming monitors comes equipped with features like pixel-shifting and screen savers to prevent this issue. This OLED gaming monitor provides one of the most breathtaking visual experiences available, making it an essential choice for enthusiasts who want the best of the best. With incredible contrast, vibrant colors, fast refresh rates, and sleek design, it’s an upgrade that every gamer can appreciate. The price might be steep, but the value it offers in terms of gaming immersion is absolutely worth it for those looking to elevate their setup to the next level. Highly Reccommend!!!!

This OLED monitor is beautiful! Was looking at the 49" monitors, but realized vertical space is what I really want. The 49's are super wide, but not tall. Even though this is only a 45", it has more screen real estate than a super wide 49. Hulu is a little funky with it not actually going full screen. It's got black bars on the sides, including the top and bottom. This screen is pretty massive. that's the only drawback that I can see. It doesn't even bother me, so I haven't even looked into how to fix it.

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.

I wanted an ultra-wide with 2k screen for optimal gaming performance. This hits that with exceptional oled colors and a huge screen for immersion. I got it on sale for 400. This is a game changer. 10 out of 10 would recommend, I will be buying the newest version as soon as this ones time runs out. Love it.

This is by far the best OLED monitor I’ve ever owned for gaming. The image quality is absolutely stunning, the 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms response time make every game feel incredibly smooth and responsive. The curved screen is super immersive and the HDR performance is impressive. Highly recommend for anyone serious about gaming!

I play a lot of online competitive games but only have a mid range graphics card. This monitor has nvidia tech that will boost your frame rate and responsiveness of peripherals with its built in DAS mode. The screen is OLED without the glossy finish which is very helpful for reducing the eye strain you may get from being so close to a screen. It’s curved at 800r so it’s field of view wraps around my eyes like a glove. 4k and 45 inches so it’s great for people like me with vision that require glasses. You don’t even need a computer because this functions great as a tv that I can turn towards my bed while it’s sitting on my desk due to it’s stand allowing you to move the screen to all kinds of positions! Tl;dr games look better, run better, and is a solid small tv.

At first I thought this was going to be a huge monitor (45 inch) but after an hour or two of playing this feels like you are in the game itself. Having the monitor both curved at a bigger size really adds into the immersion. Even though it’s 2k at this size I couldn’t tell the pixels like the rest of the people claim they can. It’s an oled 2k at 240hz? What more can you ask for.

I usually purchase a new monitor every year as new tech comes out. I have had about 10 new premium monitors in the last 12 years. In my opinion, OLED is not entirely up to the maximum potential yet. They have improved substantially over the years, and we have the best they offer (at least for 2024). My favorite monitor tech overall (at least for the desk) is IPS Mini LED. They don't suffer from brightness limiting (aka auto screen dimming) or poor maximum HDR brightness. As I said, OLEDs have come a long way in this regard, but when I compare my Mini LED TV (with a maximum peak brightness of 4600 nits), or my Samsung Curved Mini LED monitor at 1700 nits peak, the OLEDs look downright dim and weak. This Monitor is an HDR 400, and the brightness is acceptable, but it's borderline. If you play in a dark room all the time, this will not be as much of an issue. OLEDs and QD OLEDs will improve over time, but I recommend only getting an OLED monitor if you are replacing an older LED panel with low or limited HDR ranges. I'm trying this monitor out as my primary monitor, but I may return to my Mini LED as I don't feel like I did an upgrade; it is just a side step with some pros and some cons.

This is a great gaming monitor that does not get enough credit online, hands down. The curve (albeit aggressive) is not too much once you sit in front of it and start gaming. It is extremely immersive and looks incredible. The 1440p resolution and 240hz refresh rate is awesome with super sharp images and snappy visuals, everything runs extremely smooth. The usbc connection in the back is probably my favorite feature with this monitor because it essentially accepts an additional input that I didn’t know I needed so badly for productivity. Yes, the monitor has its limitations for productivity but let’s be honest here… you are not looking up the specs of this monitor specifically for productivity, don’t kid yourself. This monitor works perfectly fine for productivity but there is some text fringing to get used to, this will not take a long time and did not bother me in the long-term. The limitations of this monitor settle in when you start watching television content on it. I plugged in a cable tv box into one of the HDMI ports to test its paces. While watching sports and other channels on the monitor you can either stretch the image or fill it into the monitor. Since this monitor is a lower resolution than the content that is being received (potentially 4K) it will come through grainy bechsse the signal is not formatted to work on ultra wides (this is the case with everything). Other than the limitations I listed above this monitor is phenomenal. I wish this monitor was 4K because if it was… it would truly be the final monitor I would ever purchase HANDS DOWN.

Amazing picture quality and refresh rate. The ultimate curves ultrawide monitor.

This monitor is the best replacement for a dual 27" setup. I would highly recommend this setup if you want a very immersive gaming experience. Productivity is good, but be aware of the low DPI because of the 1440p resolution and 45" screen.

I cant say enough about this monitor. Just pull the trigger. I love LG screens. I have a 77 inch GX for my console gaming snd worth every penny. So when I purchased this i was still nlown away. I dont understand all the complaints about the lower res quality. Personally its like im finally able to see thibgs the way they should.

This is the best gaming monitor you can buy other than the 5k2k model that is currently $2,000. If you can find it anymore or an open-box version you should really check it out. For Gaming: 1440p means your GPU can get mor FPS on games vs 4K OLED looks amazing and games really pop 1440p for gaming on this monitor looks really good and it's not pixelated or anything, you won't really be able to tell it's not 4K even with the lower PPI 21:9 at 45" and a 800R curve is the best form factor I have ever witnessed, and I cannot imagine gaming on a better form factor. Much better than 16:9 for immersion and 32:9 since it doesn't warp the edge of games. For Productivity: You will notice the lower PPI on this front. I would not work on this monitor. I have a separate working monitor which is the Samsung G9 Neo 57" and I love that for working, but for gaming it's not as good since 32:9 warps the games too much, and 2x4K (16 million pixels) is too much to drive, even on a 5090 honestly, but it works so well on productivity.

Can't say enough about this screen. It's fantastic. The telescopic feature is one of my favorite things about it but the resolution is great and the size is perfect. I use it for trading and I'm able to fit 4 charts, all of my account and position info as well as my trading indicators and order window on the one screen.

I recently upgraded to the LG UltraGear 45" OLED Curved Gaming Monitor, and it has completely transformed my gaming setup. From the moment I turned it on, the OLED panel blew me away with its deep blacks, vibrant colors, and insane clarity. The 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms response time make gameplay unbelievably smooth – it’s like everything is happening in real-time, with zero lag or ghosting. The ultrawide 45" curved screen pulls you right into the action, whether you're immersed in a fast-paced FPS or exploring open-world adventures. It’s also a dream for multitasking and productivity thanks to the wide screen real estate. The build quality feels premium, and the monitor itself looks sleek and modern. The fact that it supports both FreeSync and G-SYNC is a huge bonus – no screen tearing, just buttery smooth visuals. HDR400 brings out incredible detail in darker scenes, making it perfect for cinematic games and media consumption too. This monitor isn't just an upgrade; it’s a game-changer. Highly recommend it to any serious gamer or content creator looking to elevate their setup. LG knocked it out of the park with this one!

Purchased this display a couple of months ago. The display is amazing and looks great. I love the larger display and the resolution is great for the size. I know some reviewers complain about pixel density, but I do not notice any issues with image quality.

Phenomenal display. Unlike other options that may be wider, this is boasts added height for a more centralized user experience, especially when managing multiple programs / windows simultaneously. Splitting the screen into quadrants, side-by-side, or using it as one massive display radically changed my workflow. Software intuitively recalls its last display format, making it quick and easy to navigate, but if I need to change it, I simply throw it to a corner or left/right of the screen, and the computer automatically resizes it. Working remote, eye fatigue and after work light sensitivity a real challenge - until I got this. The resolution, refresh rate, and curved screen has helped A LOT. Best part is with my computer-gamer chair, the combination looks like the helm on a space ship or NASA. I MEAN BUSINESS!

I swapped out my 34 inch Alienware OLED for this 45 inch monster and was a little nervous due to how good the Alienware 34 inch OLED is! I was not disappointed. This 45 inch monster met and exceeded all my expectations. From the ports to the controls to the picture and quality its adds to my gaming experience. The 240HZ was important for me as the Alienware was 165HZ which was very solid and again that monitor up until this was the best thing I ever bought for any PC I've ever owned. This LG 45 inch changed that! The gaming experience alone on a monitor this size is just unbelievable. The curve may feel like a bit much for some but I don't mind and it actually saved me as its actual physical footprint due to the curve made the monitor size not an issue for my desk setup! Every game looks AMAZING Color/Blacks/FPS/Smoothness all of it. The port selection is also excellent. Gaming PC connected via Display port and my laptop connected via USB-C. Super handy and again just the quality of this thing. Its the size of a TV and the RGB on the back is cool if that's your thing. The design of the Alienware is definitely more muted but the style of this this LG definitely stands out. I've had more than one person ask me what kind of wild looking TV is my PC connected to? LOL! If I have one small complaint its how LG does the firmware/software updates on these things. A little less straightforward than the Alienware or any previous monitor I have owned but its not really a big deal. I wish LG would require less installed software just to update your monitor. Just look up LG oled monitor firmware update and watch a video and you'll be all good. At this monitors full price its a hard pill to swallow ($1700) considering the Alienware at launch was $999 and I got if for $700. I caught ridiculous sale for this LG on Best Buys site for less than the Alienware and man am I happy. If you're looking for a one of a kind experience gaming this monitor is it!

amazing quality, the OLED display is vibrant and crisp really levels up your gaming or watching experience %100. the 240Hz refresh rate is really impressive as well. I have had mine for about 5 months now and I would definitely recommend.

Amazing quality at a great price. I love the 45” curved monitor as I upgraded from a 32” Samsung Odyssey when buying my ps5 pro. The 45” is not too big and actually is quite perfect for someone looking to game and casually watch TV while at work. Only thing is I would like for it to come with a remote. While watching TV it can annoying having to change the volume through the monitor.
