Customer Ratings & Reviews

I recently upgraded from my LG UltraGear 39-inch OLED monitor to the new LG 5K2K UltraGear OLED, and the difference is nothing short of stunning. From the moment I powered it on, I could tell this was a serious leap forward. Gaming has never looked better—every title I play now feels more immersive, fluid, and visually rich. The higher resolution takes full advantage of my RTX graphics card, delivering crisp detail and vibrant colors that truly elevate the experience. But it’s not just about gaming. Productivity has also seen a noticeable boost. The increased screen real estate and pixel density make multitasking a breeze, and text clarity is razor-sharp, which makes long work sessions much easier on the eyes. If you're considering a monitor upgrade, I highly recommend the LG 5K2K UltraGear OLED. It’s a game-changer in every sense.

I saw many folks saying 800R is to aggressive, which is not my case, 800R is the main reason for this purchase. Some may say a LG G5 TV is a better option at this price range, but I prefer no to torture myself using a flat screen with lower PPI. One thing I absolutely disappointed is the styling and attention to detail. I want an ultra thin look monitor like the last gen and Studio Display quality I/O interface. I wish someday, LG can make a 45inch monitor with over 214 ppi&400nits&800R&OLED. That will be my ultimate end game monitor. Another thing I wish that LG could do in the future is sell the base separately, all my monitor base is just collecting dust. If you are considering this monitor, you don’t need any recommendations, this is the no competitor in the market today. I want to share a few tips: 1. There is no build in KVM, and there is no KVM that support 5K165HZ, so this what I do, I bought a Hotkey usb switch for keyboard and mouse, for the monitor, I map the monitor switch switch to the same hotkey. So one click in less that one second switch between win and Mac. 2. The PSU is HUGE, I attended an image of how I cable managed it underdesk

When I saw the monitor in store, I knew I needed it. I’m not the type of person with the best of the best, or a top of the line rig - I wanted the immersion. It will take getting used to this monitor, the curve is aggressive. The matte finish isn’t my favorite and it not true DP 2.1, but there is nothing else on the market like it. After playing with settings I got the colors looks vibrant, rivaling my previous QD-OLED. There are some cons, and I know many will say 2K for a monitor without it all is crazy, but then I look at a 32in monitor for 1-1200, and think about all I would lose going back to 16:9, makes it a no brainer. Here’s the thing, no computer right now can comfortably max it out, but if you’re like me and mainly play single player games, where you don’t need the highest fps, you’ll be fine. And if you occasionally play a competitive shooter, swap to 1080p. The monitor is incredibly versatile! My reason for 4/5 is because it took a week to get used to. It gave me headache and nausea, I had to force myself to play games, but I’ve gotten used to it now.

I’ve had my eyes on this big guy for a couple of months but never went for it because I was skeptical of the too many good reviews online… But then, I saw that my local Best Buy had one unit on display. Fast forward to the next day, I decided to stop by and quickly realized that this was all a big mistake. It was a trap!!! Needless to say, I walked out of the store 15 minutes later with a box that forced me to lower my back seats. It has been two weeks since then and I can easily say that this is the best monitor I’ve had in the last 15+ years. The perfect blacks, The sharpness, the brillant colors. Truly immersive. Ridiculous at first on how enormous it is, but you quickly get used to it and there is no going back. This monitor ain’t for peasants!

This has to be the best monitor I have seen. I have played star citizen on it and it is shocking the quality and detail of this display. I thought the curve would be too aggressive but it’s perfect.

Easily the best monitor Ive ever seen. Paired with my RTX 5090 its like looking through a window into your game. There is no better monitor. Absolute must buy.

Absolutely incredible image. That's why we buy LG though. I did sit it right next to the exact same monitor in the 4K version and you can tell anybody that says you can't tell the difference between 4K and 5K just doesn't have enough money... If you want basically the best gaming motor on the planet by this the curves a little bit different than the 4K version so that's infuriating. But overall high quality monitor. I do believe you will need a 50 series graphics card with a 2.1 DisplayPort cable to run this though

The resolution is great but the overall picture is sub-par especially if you have been using a QD-OLED. I have used the Samsung G9 for 3 years then purchased this one as I wanted true 4k resolution but was disappointed on how dull the colors were and even more that the edges of the screen are darker to prevent over heating, so the screen isn’t universally the same brightness. For $1500 (on sale) I wouldn’t recommend it over a QD-OLED due to picture color quality and visual brightness. Calibration of the monitor to get the colors close to QD-OLED would completely flashbang you with white backgrounds while your colors were still Dull. If your going from a LCD screen to this it’s worth the buy but if you have a QD-ultrawide I would wait for LGs tandem oled or Samsung to make a 5120x2160 qd-oled. In the pictures it shows the color difference between the LG and the Samsung G9 (note the G9 wasn’t even hdr calibrated while the LG was). I hope this review helps anyone who might be considering this monitor who already owns a QD-OLED. (This was returned)

Love this LLG monitor it is dual mode 5k 2k oled and paired up with my asus g700 with an RTX5080 AND INTEL ULTRA 7 265KF WITH 8TB ALL OUT OF BEST BUY AND IM LOVING MY NEW MONITOR THE GRAPHICS COME TO LIFE SPECIALLY BATTLEFIELD 6 I AM HOOKED ON IT IS ALL I THINK ABIUT TOO BAD I GOTTA WORK BECAUSE ALL I WANT TO DO SEE THE GRAPHICS THROUGH MY LG MONITOR 2K 5K

Staggeringly good Monitor... Can handle any game thrown at it with ease. Solid PPI for work as well. I would buy it again!!

Nothing about this monitor disappoints. Picture quality is excellent. Does everything you expect a monitor to do very well. Not the brightest monitor, but also adequate to still play in a lightly lit room.

Had the older one that was 3440x1440 and I loved it. This one being the first real 4k ultrawide was a no-brainer upgrade. Loving it so far. A lot sharper than a 1440p ultrawide. It also came with some nice quality-of-life improvements such as a USB-C port with 90 watt power delivery and DisplayPort so I can plug my MacBook into it very easily with one cable.

Can’t go wrong with this beauty. Truly the best of the best in quality and performance. Highly recommend for those who wish to elevate their working and gaming experiences.

Beautiful monitor. I’ve been looking for a monitor that can do a little of everything and this is widescreen 4k and can be turned into a 16/9 4k 37 inch monitor if the game doesn’t support wide screen with black bars on the side. It can be a little difficult to run the 5k/2k or ultra wide 4k resolution at high frame rates and I have a 4090. The monitor feels very good quality with the metal stand. Audio is also terrible so I don’t even see why they bothered including built in audio. I do think it could be better tho if the screen was glossy which is why I’m going with 4/5.

I did my research for ultra wide monitors, after hours of evaluating various products finally narrow down to this Monitor. Its amazing monitor with 800R curve with PIP capability perfect for dual screen setup. My main purpose his office productivity and trading.

I trust LG OLED technology. Ive been using them for years and no issues and no burn ins. I wanted a wide screen but i did not want a thin wide screen monitor. So i found this chonker. So far been great. Sound is weaker then their TVs is the only down side. Most pc users would most likely will use external monitors. It is a little expensive if yoy but it at MSRP.

Incredible monitor. I got it with a major discount, but it was worth every penny Using this thing feels like looking through a window, definitely the end game monitor. The dual mode is perfect for switching between competitive games and relaxation.

One of the best monitors I have ever owned. This thing is a beast and gaming on it is outstanding! I love it!

Decided to spend the money and get the best super-wide, tall & curved screen monitor we could find.  Wanted awesome resolution, vivid colors and fast response.  A single monitor, not the dual or triple screen desk chaos.  Which led us to this LG UltraGear 45" OLED gaming monitor (Dual Mode (5K2K WUHD 165Hz, WFHD 330Hz) 0.03ms G-Sync/FreeSync Premium Pro).  Being that we are not gamers, but rather email, spreadsheet and internet users, we were a bit hesitant about feature overkill. But pulled the trigger anyway & bought the monitor.  Took two of us old people (my wife & I) to carry in the house and safely set it up.  Finally settled on using the DisplayPort cable.  Hooked it to our docking station.  Fired up our new Lenovo - Yoga Pro 9i 16" Laptop (2.8K OLED Touchscreen Laptop - Intel Core Ultra 9 Processor - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 - 32GB RAM-1TB). And Wow!  Completely blown away, no regrets.  Took some experimentation of find the best combination of settings for us.  We are probably using a fraction of the monitor's capability but are totally happy.  We can have multiple sessions open without any overlap.  And can quickly & easily increase the font for readability.  And the more extreme curvature is no big deal.  In fact, we like it. Hooked up our stereo speakers.  Sounded excellent, but a rat's nest of wires.  Tried the laptop's speakers and they were actually a very close second.  And the speakers on the monitor were pretty good too.  So far, the only complaint (hence the 4-star rating) is the resolution of the graphics card on the laptop.  It's not quite powerful enough at its highest setting to fill the entire screen.  There is a 2-inch black space on the left & right sides of the screen.  If we dumb down the resolution it does fill the entire screen (top, bottom, sides), but with slightly less clarity.  Hoping NVIDIA will eventually have a driver to resolve this. 3440x1440 is the highest laptop resolution, fills screen left & right, but black spaces on top & bottom. 3200x2000 is the next one down, fills screen top & bottom, but black spaces on left & right. 5120x2160 is what LG recommends.

Easily the best monitor I've ever owned. The price is steep but I'd say it's definitely worth it.
