Good but will wait for a glossy version someday
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a good form factor, just don’t like the coating on it.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat resolution, lacking everywhere else
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Matte finish dulls everything on the screen. It makes a relatively the dim display look even duller. Still reflects absolutely everything off of it, and I would argue that it is more reflective than the glossy monitors and televisions that I own. Cool for being the first 5k2k OLED, but the window sticker is absolutely all it has going for it. What a disappointment.

Posted .Hi, there. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with the LG Monitor (45GX950A-B) model. We understand how the screen's matte finish can impact the viewing experience, especially if you're expecting richer contrast or brighter visuals. We strive to provide reliable, high-quality products that exceed our customer's needs and expectations. While the anti-glare coating is designed to reduce reflections under bright lighting, it can occasionally create the perception of a softer or dimmer image, particularly when ambient light is strong or the display settings aren’t optimized.
To enhance your display’s performance, we recommend adjusting the OLED Pixel Brightness and switching to a more vivid Picture Mode such as Game or HDR Effect, which can help amplify color and contrast. You can find these settings under Settings > Picture > Picture Mode Settings. For more help, visit https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-tv-the-best-picture-settings-for-your-lg-tv--20150577528034.
We’d like to help you get the best out of your OLED monitor. Please send us a private message on social media @LGUSSupport so we can explore more in-depth adjustments or provide additional support. We’re here to turn your experience around. ^Juvy

Not worth the money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Curve was excessive and the dual mode did not function as claimed, I have a liquid cooled 5090 and it never could force the switch to 330hz

Posted .Hi Jim, thank you for sharing your experience with the LG TV. Noticing an unexpected curve and having dual‑mode features behave differently than expected can definitely affect how the monitor fits into your setup, especially with powerful hardware like your 5090. Your feedback on the 330Hz switching behavior is valuable, and we appreciate you taking the time to call it out.

Broke on the last day of my return period
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I owned it for 15 days and it was amazing until it wouldnt power on anymore and best buy wouldnt help. Working with LG support is also a nightmare as they make it impossible to schedule your own warranty repair without talking to an underqualified support person first.

Posted .Hi, Bryce. Thank you for sharing your experience with the LG Monitor (45GX950A-B) model. We understand how important it is for your new unit to work reliably and for support to be accessible when needed.
If your TV won’t power on, we recommend trying a basic reset: unplug the unit from the wall outlet for about 60 seconds, then plug it back in and press the power button directly on the TV (not the remote). Also, ensure the power cord is securely connected and try a different outlet if possible. You can find more troubleshooting steps here: https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-monitor-troubleshooting-no-power--20150893043202. If you’d like us to take a closer look or need further assistance with scheduling a warranty repair, feel free to send us an email at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com. We’re here to help. ^Juvy

Displayport 2.1 works every blue moon

But good luck getting Displayport 2.1 to work. Works like once in 30 tries if your lucky. OH it easily works in dual 2K duel mode without any issues. But second you try for 5120X2160.all bets are off. Pathetic they release a $1999 monitor in this condition
