Customer Ratings & Reviews

I absolutely love this monitor. The 45" size is perfect-it wraps around your whole field of view without being too overwhelming. The colors are insane since it's OLED, and everything feels super smooth. If you're looking for a serious upgrade for your setup, just get it.

Excellent quality and operation... 10/10 If you want good quality in your games either on console or pc this is the screen for you

Great high end pc gaming monitor. Love it paired with my 5080. The dual mode for 1080p 330hz gaming is a plus.

This monitor is one of the best ive ever purchased. If your PC is high end it deserves a high end monitor.

I would say it’s the best monitor out right now if you think about getting it 2026. The pick up order by Best Buy was smooth! If I can give this monitor a rating, I will give it a 10 out of 10!

Best gaming monitor if you’re looking for the best image quality without sacrificing FPS You would need to pair it with at least an RTX 5080 if you want to take advantage of it. AAA games look so awesome, I’m currently playing Indiana Jones and it’s just breath taking. Definitely recommended!

Amazing monitor great customer services. I was able to rerun my previous monitor with no hassle.

This monitor is most likely too big for me. However I'm still keeping it because it will go crazy for my SIM rig.

Son loves it. It was recently added to his game room and he uses that one the most for gaming.

The monitor is just amazing the curve to it the colors. It's a beautiful piece to have must buy!

Epic monitor, the size the visuals and the response rate are amazing!

I got myself an ultra gear OLED, then got then newest one for my fiancé, it’s soooo nice

Definitely recommend this product LG monitor 5K to 2K is amazing

Incredible. Use it for work and its completely game changing. Very sturdy base, does not wobble at all.

The monitor itself is slightly above average, but the repair process and customer service are awful. I bought the 5K2K LG monitor (45GX950A-B) about 5 months ago, and it started flickering out of nowhere with a horizontal line that changes colors and distorted lines that go across the entire monitor. I no longer had the original box since it’s massive and I live in an apartment. I used LG’s chat support, which took over 90 minutes due to slow response and language barrier. They told me I had to find my own box to ship it. I asked them to send one to properly protect a $2,000 monitor, but they said they don’t have any and offered a $60 reimbursement instead, sending me useless links from Amazon and Home Depot for FLAT TV boxes that clearly wouldn’t fit a curved monitor. The chat eventually timed out, yet they still sent me a shipping label stating “Shipping damages due to improper packaging will be your responsibility.” I called support the next day and was bounced around until someone finally agreed to send a box. I guess they found their secret stash of boxes. When it arrived, it didn’t fit the monitor properly and included the wrong styrofoam. After calling again, I was told the styrofoam shouldn’t even have been included and that I could no longer use the $60 reimbursement for packaging wrap since they had provided a box (that barely fit the monitor). After finally shipping it, I got a text saying the repair center doesn’t have the parts and may take up to 30 days before considering an alternative solution. I am literally trying to do everything to avoid losing my job in this economy. A $2,000 monitor should not break less than 5 months and I should not have to jump through hoops and wait a month for a replacement or money back. I don’t trust LG anymore and this has added so much stress to my life. I hope you read this and not let LG treat you like this over such an expensive monitor. Life is NOT Good with LG. TLDR: Monitor failed within 5 months. LG made shipping my responsibility and will take 30+ days to resolve. Also, I don’t know who trains your overseas CS but teaching them to gaslight your customers is not the move LG.

This monitor has amazing clarity and vivid colors.

I've had a vertical line about a half inch wide in the left middle of my monitor since I bought it about 2 months ago. I was assured by LG's community in their forums that it would improve after a few hundred hours of use. 550 hours later and the line is still as prominent as before. LG will do an RMA but WITHOUT AN ADVANCED REPLACEMENT. They completely refuse. To be without a monitor for a week or 2 is absurd for how much money this thing costs. I'm well past the return period with Best Buy so I guess I get to just live with a distracting dim line whenever my video or game gets dim. The monitor is great otherwise. The 1 star is mainly for how poor their warranty is. That type of warranty policy for a monitor this expensive from one of the largest manufacturers in the world is asinine. It's also only 2 years when most other brands do 3. If you notice ANY problems with this monitor when you first set it up. Get it exchanged with Best Buy before your 7 day return window is over.

I had a LG Oled ultra wide 45” that was probably two years old 240 hz I upgraded to this what an amazing difference text is much sharper and gaming on this is fantastic definitely worth the ipgrade

way mo better then last years model. better colors better ppi better brightness DP 2.1 and hdmi 2.1

I'm so happy to finally have this monitor up and running, this is the best OLED monitor I've had (and I've had a couple before). To start with, it comes in a large rectangular box and they include everything to get you up and running. A super sturdy and heave metal base, and arm that locks easily in place, a HDMI 2.1 cable, a Display port 2.1 cable, a type C USB cable and a large and heave external power brick. It was packed good, with plenty of Styrofoam protection and the screen itself was inside a soft type of plastic cloth (there was no plastic to peel from the screen). It arrived in great condition. I did end up installing it on a sturdy monitor desk arm and it fit great. Plugged in the power cable, the USB cable to a type C port on my PC (THIS IS IMPORTANT, I WILL TELL YOU MORE WHY LATER) and the Display port cable. Seated down and started it and my PC, BAM! I was completely blown away by the extreme curve and I must be honest, it was jarring at first. And I have had curved monitors before, this one is extreme! However, give it a chance, after a while you get used to it and if you seat at the proper distance, whoa! Its so immersive when gaming, its like seeing panoramically all around you! THIS PART IS IMPORTANT and not many people now about it. I was reading some reddit posts and reviews about it before I got it and it appears it had some bugs in the color reproduction and luminance, specially in HDR mode and indeed it could see that. However LG released a firmware update that mostly fixed this. Now, they don't have any firmware update files in their support website, however the way this monitor updates its firmware is via their LG SWITCH app (windows and mac). You must download this app from their website and connect the monitor's type C cable to your PC. Once you launch the app, it will tell you if you need a firmware update and let it do it. It did for me and fixed most of those issues. The HDR is incredible, however you must set up windows correctly. First, only use HDR mode when you are going to play a game or video in HDR. For normal desktop use or SDR games leave it off. One nifty trick is the key combo: win button+alt+b, that will switch you between HDR and SDR mode. Now, there is one last bug in HDR mode that LG MUST ADDRESS THIS SOON IN A FUTURE FIRMWARE UPDATE. If you use the Windows HDR calibration tool, you will see it clips the luminance at around 600 nits, this is wrong as the monitor fully supports up to 1300 nits. Its because there is something wrong in the EDID info and windows is reading it from it. There is a trick discovered by an amazing pal at Reddit to make it work (this is only temporary and works great, but you must do it every time you update your graphics card drivers), this is purely a software windows fix and won't affect your hardware or warranty since its not doing anything to the display itself, here it is: Delete any existing color profiles in Control Panel -> Color Management -> Devices. Download CRU 1.5.3 from the official source: https://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-Custom-Resolution-Utility-CRU Run CRU.exe Go to Extension blocks Edit CTA-861 Edit HDR Static Metadata Input the following values (don’t touch anything else): Max luminance: 151 Max frame-average luminance: 151 (FYI: 151 = 1317 nits, 150 = 1288 nits) Restart your PC or run restart64.exe from the CRU folder. Check HDR behavior: Go to Settings -> Display -> Advanced Display Peak brightness should now show 1317 nits Use this test video at 0:56 to verify HDR highlight detail: https://youtu.be/gcsxAddFaoA?si=Fpi9lRccTVKwHQG2&t=56 Toggle HDR off/on to compare how much detail is preserved. (browser restart required and browser must support HDR) Don't use the windows HDR calibration tool after this. After this the display will correctly display HDR content up to its native 1300 nits and without any clipping and displaying details correctly. AMAZING!!!! I have had other oled displays before (both QD oleds, glossy, matte etc). Let me tell you once you calibrate this guy correctly, it will blow you away. To be honest the matte coating is soft and doesn't bother me and don't even notice it, and its great at handling light reflections. LG also updated the subpixel structure so text looks sharp and clear without any color fringe. Now, the best thing about it.... finally an increase in resolution and PPI density! I was tired of most ultrawide displays mainly stuck at 3440x1440 or 5120x1440 resolutions. Finally LG updated it to a 5120x2160p resolution with a great PPI! However, this is more than 4k, so you really need a strong video card to drive this guy. I would say a 4080 and up in the nVidia camp and a 7800xt and up on the AMD camp. Now the second killer feature, the dual resolution and refresh rate! My 7900XTX can handle the 5k resolution fine and I mainly use it more for single player games and campaign and it handles well, plus 165hz refresh rate is not that much and the display has variable refresh rate (Freesync premium and Gsync) to handle those dips in FPS. However, for fast paced online shooters, I use the dual mode and switch to the 2569x1080 resolution at 330hz!!! I can handle the drop in resolution in favor of fast paced online gaming, no problem. You can fast switch to it with the button at the bottom. You can also change several aspect rations in the monitor's menu, I would say explore there what you want, I mainly use the two main one full wide ones. Also, I love the 45inch factor, 49 is to much for me and with this one you gain in the vertical space too and while still staying at a 21:9 aspect ratio (32:9 is too much for me and some games struggle with compatibility with that). In all, this is the best OLED Monitor right now hands down (if you want ultrawide at a high resolution and refresh rates). Get one, you won't regret it!!
