Customer Ratings & Reviews

Beautiful Monitor - OLED remains a top tech and LG is on point. I find the display settings a bit stubborn, and to unlock the full potential of the monitor, it appears you must calibrate it with an external device. However, the out of the out of the box settings (you can adjust some image parameters) are excellent. I paid full price for the screen; i do recommend you take advantage of a sale when it happens. I was impatient.... Some gaming environments will tear when using (Elite Dangerous, specifically) and forced me to turn on the VRR setting. I don't use the backlight, but it is there, works, and was not overly disturbing when I tried it. The curved screen was a first for me and took little time to get used to. The ultrawide screen is great, but the consequence of having some blurry text is noticeable on occasion. However, this is mainly in games- text in Word or non-gaming applications seems to crisp. Overall, I am pleased with this monitor. Was it worth the cost of a new C4 65" TV...? Probably not (so wait for a sale) but I have no complaints about this product.

tl;dr NO REGERTS. It's a sick monitor. If it is in your budget, get it. Love gaming on this display and the productivity stuff ain't bad either, I recommend using FancyZones. Initially unsure about the aggressive curve. Got used to it in a matter of days and I think it was the perfect choice. Resolution leaves a little to be desired but it is what it is. The size, color, refresh rate, super low latency, G-Sync capability are all there.

It's been a few months but both gaming and work on this monitor have been great. I love the aspect ratio. It's comfortable to work on, text is not as crisp as mentioned in other review but comfortable to read for 11 hour work days. No burn in, the monitor runs cool to the touch and doesn't generate much heat after working 11 hours and then gaming another 2+ hours after work. Gaming on this monitor is a major blast. Colors look great, games look beautiful on ultra settings at 1440. I don't competitive game so I haven't really tried to push the 240hz but I can get MMROPGs and other games up to 160hz. Some games do not support the aspect ratio so be warned. I highly recommend this monitor over other higher end models if gaming in 1440p. If you want 4k looks elsewhere obviously.

I bought this to replace 3 24” monitors i was using. Ive always like having multiple screens to work on. So I essentially bought this for Teams calls, browsing the web, and everyday work tasks. Once i got this bad boy hooked up and in front of my face I felt like i was transported to another world. It’s freaking amazing! I never want to leave my desk. I ended up hooking up my PS5 to it and ordering a 2nd series X. Gaming on it is next level! I will never go back to a different monitor.

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!

Cool, big, beautiful monitor but the 1440p is not clear and sharp on 45in. It looks worse than my 34in on 1440p. OLED looks amazing and beautiful with infinite contrast. Response time is smooth and 240hz is great for gaming. Good monitor for gaming but ok for productivity like video/photos editing or office work. I love the 800R curve, takes a little getting use to but it makes the gaming experience and just general monitor use so much better. Also the OLED burn in prevention measure is helpful and does it by itself after the monitor turns off.

When it comes to immersive gaming experiences, a great display is key, and this OLED gaming monitor takes things to a whole new level. 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. For gamers, response time is crucial, and the OLED technology provides an incredibly fast response time with virtually no motion blur. Whether you’re playing fast-paced FPS games or competitive esports titles, the monitor’s 1ms response time ensures a smooth and fluid experience. OLED monitors are typically more expensive than their LED counterparts and they can easily cost a premium, but if you're serious about gaming and want the best visuals money can buy, it’s worth every penny to get this monitor. 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!!!!

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

I use a lot of spreadsheets, and multiple screens at the same time. I had used a Samsung Ultrawide for years, (and it served me well), and using BestBuy Member Return Policy, I was able to try a couple great monitors, but the LG 45" 5k2k UltraGear - is FAR superior to anything I have ever used. The monitor is Crystal Clear - no "dots" in the text, and able to fit 3 full screens easily, and don't have to continually scroll like I did with the Samsung Odyssey. Very Pleased with the Monitor, and hope it will serve me for years to come.

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.

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.

love it excellent picture perfect size, image isn't stretched out like on most other wide screens, I hate that. black Friday deal $700 off best wide screen out there for that price

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.

This monitor is a game changer, and not just for gamers. I bought this for my home office, as it allows me to have multiple screens open on one monitor, without having to swing my head back and forth between multiple screens. The color is great, the only drawback is the height of the monitor on the base--it's not adjustable and it's higher than I would prefer.

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.

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