I love this monitor. I upgraded from a 32” 4K QD-LED and it is gorgeous. 21:9 screen ratio and the 800r curve makes this very immersove for fps for casual and normal users.

Wow! Works first time out of the box. Amazing video. Replaced two other hi-res displays with this one unit. 5k2k gives a ton of desktop real estate. Early in the process to tell about longevity, but will update in a year.

Incredible monitor. I use for racing simulator so its very close to face and with the 5k2k resolution it is still extremely sharp image with amazing colors and blacks. Could be used for productivity but the 800r curve is ideal for gaming. Great with FPS games too and the dual mode with all the other screens size options you can run it as a 27” 16:9, 34” 21:9 and like ten other configurations in both 5k2k and 1080p

This is almost the perfect monitor, if not for the price and very high expectations, I would probably give this five stars.
I still think that text clarity is an issue, but I think the next generation will resolve that. That being said, it's mostly gone in this version.
Best monitor I've ever owned. Hopefully the price comes down for technology like this so it can be more obtainable generally.

This LG UltraGear 45” OLED is simply the best of the best — nothing else comes close. The OLED panel is breathtaking with perfect blacks, vibrant colors, and HDR that makes games and movies feel alive. The dual mode is a genius feature: 5K2K at 165Hz for the most immersive ultrawide experience, or WFHD at a blazing 330Hz when I need every competitive edge. The curve wraps around my vision for total immersion, and the response time is instant.
I’ve owned plenty of high-end monitors, but this one sets a new standard. If you want the ultimate display for gaming, productivity, and sheer wow factor, this is it. Worth every penny — an absolute masterpiece from LG.

Have used this exclusively for productivity. I had tried the previous 1440p version of this and felt the text was too blurry to use for work and development. This new monitor is a night and day difference for text clarity. It’s very sharp. Color and brightness are also great. I enjoy only needing one cable to connect my MacBook with to both display and power. My only issue there though is a lack of option to keep producing power to maintain charge on the Mac if the display goes unused into standby mode. Speakers are a little flat, but they are more than serviceable for basic audio needs. All in all, it’s exactly what I was hoping for. I will eventually attempt to use for gaming, but that is secondary for me.

Compare to my Odyssey G9, the LG is best for gaming. It is Wider and bigger. Odysssay is longer but short good for workstation. GX9 5K2K automatically fits the screen in most of my games. While odyssey does not i had to play around with the resolution juat to fit the screen..over all 5/5 for the LG GC9

Worth every dollar, accidentally bought the 1440p version of this and wasn’t satisfied at all. Returned that one and got this 4k one and my gaming experience is fulfilled

Honestly the best monitor on the market right now in 2025 if you have a strong enough GPU the gaming experience at 5k 2k on a OLED monitor is just amazing. My specs AMD 9950x3D, AIO, 64GB of DDR5 @6000mhz, XFX Mercury 9070xt, on games I play getting the full use of the 5k 2k 165hrtz and the 330 hrtz on the 1080 setting.

This monitor is an absolute beast. The 5K2K resolution on a 45" curved OLED screen is stunning—text is crisp, colors pop, and the blacks are deep as night. I use it for both work and gaming, and it's honestly changed the way I multitask. The curve pulls you right in, and the dual-mode toggle (5K at 165Hz or 2K at 330Hz) is genius—feels like having two monitors in one.
Gaming feels buttery smooth, especially in 2K mode. And for creative work or editing, the clarity and space are unbeatable. Only downside is it's not super bright, so not ideal in really sunny rooms. Still, if you've got the space and budget, this thing is next-level.

Purchased this mainly for a driving simulator. Powered by a Radeon 7900XTX. Beautiful monitor. Deep blacks, colors pop out, muted sightly due to not being a glossy panel. Occasional VRR flickering gets a bit annoying but to be expected. Used with HDMI 2.1. There is some mention about the display port not being the latest standard of DP 2.1 UBHR 20 given the $2000 price, but this is academic in my opinion, looking at the quality of the image that isnt a deal breaker. Was initially hesitant about the extreme curve but it works perfectly for driving simulators. I like this so much that I am getting a second one for Microsoft Flight Simulator setup. One review on LG.com had green lines on the monitor, only hope I dont get this.

I was worried when I first set it up because I had vertical lines every 2 inches all the way across the screen. Ran pixel refresh and it was fine. This monitor is incredible paired with a 5080 and 9800x3d. Huge step up from 1440p

This is the best gaming monitor I ever have. OLED is great in every aspect. 5K 45" makes a big difference while working (Previously I was using 34" 3440x1440 165Hz)
The biggest downside is DP2.1 max bandwidth - UHBR10. It is a joke on LG side. Monitor can't handle 5K2K 165Hz without using DSC compression. At release it was advertised as UBR13.5.
USB 90W PD disables automatically when monitor go to sleep or is off, so it is not reliable to power work laptop.
USB hub have only 2 USB ports.

Love this montior! The 5K resolution is very clear and the 165 hz is very fast. Love the quality of this monitor. Also, the stand is excellent as well and not as bulky as last generation.
