Customer Ratings & Reviews

Darks are perfectly immersive blacks, screen can hit very bright highlights in a different spot with 0 glow impacting nearby darkness, and HDR is impressive.

I've only used this for a few days now, but it's a noticeable step up from my LG 34" QHD monitor. The curve is very pronounced, but I feel it's more immersive that way. The blacks are perfect and the colors are definitely more vivid. The 5k is incredible too. I use it mostly for my flight sim, so if you use it for gaming, make sure you have a strong PC to run it.

The best “do-everything” display I’ve ever used (work + competitive gaming in one) The LG UltraGear 45” OLED Dual Mode is hands-down one of the most impressive monitors I’ve ever owned. It’s the rare display that genuinely feels built for two different worlds: cinematic, ultra-sharp productivity and content work… and then instant-switch, high-speed competitive gaming. The Dual Mode is the killer feature. In one moment you’re in 5K2K WUHD at 165Hz, which looks absolutely insane at 45 inches — crisp text, huge workspace, and a wide, immersive canvas that makes everything feel premium. Then when you want raw performance, flipping to WFHD 330Hz turns it into a competitive gaming monster. That flexibility alone makes it worth it because it replaces what would normally be two separate monitors. And because it’s OLED, the picture quality is on another level: • Perfect blacks and insane contrast • Colors look rich and clean without that “washed” IPS glow • Motion looks ridiculously smooth, especially paired with the 0.03ms response time It also nails the essentials for serious gaming. G-Sync/FreeSync Premium Pro makes gameplay feel stable and fluid with no distracting tearing, and the overall responsiveness is instantly noticeable — aiming feels tighter, tracking feels cleaner, and fast movement stays readable. Build quality is exactly what you expect from LG’s UltraGear line: solid, premium, and designed like it means business. It’s also one of the few monitors that feels equally at home as a high-end workstation display and a top-tier gaming panel. If you want a monitor that can do editing, productivity, console gaming, PC gaming, and esports-level performance without compromise, this is it. It’s not just a monitor — it’s a whole setup upgrade. Highly recommended.

Excellent screen. High resolution, with the ability to open multiple tabs. No display screen distortion. Ability to maintain screen continuity with my ipad.

The **ultra-wide 4K gaming monitor** delivers stunning visuals, rich colors, and smooth performance. Its expansive widescreen immerses you in every game, while fast refresh rates and crisp detail make action feel alive. Ergonomic stand and sharp contrast enhance comfort and clarity. Though pricey, it’s worth it for serious gamers seeking top-tier picture quality and competitive edge in every session.

I just upgraded today from a Samsung LED G9 Odyssey 49 inch, to his 45 inches of LG OLED awesomeness! The 4K resolution for gaming is a game changer for me. Day and night difference in picture quality and game screen size for games. Truly you get more screen with this 45 inch than the 49 ultrawide samsung monitor. I have a i9 intel, RTX 4090 card and 32 RAM and I had no issues whatsoever with the monitor... it was truly a seamless plug and play experience. So maybe the ones having issues with the DP 2.1 cable is because their PCs are older/less capable? I truly had no hiccups at all. Definitely a must buy for me. Totally recommended. I play mostly Marvel Rivals and let me tell you, the picture quality at epic graphics and Quality DLSS setting is the best. I calibrated the picture quality to "Gamer 2", reduced the sharpness to 50, set the Peak Brightness to High and the Gamma to "Mode 4" and to me that is best awesome quality I've been dreaming for! truly worth the upgrade and the money I paid (the full $2K).

Full title was going to be “Perfect gaming display if your budget and desk have room.” Upgraded from a 1440 and the text clarity and resolution bump are noteworthy. Not TV level OLED diplay but excelent for PC gameplay. Was worried about the curve but due to the size it works well with no distortion.

I absolutely love this monitor. I originally bought the 45 inch that was 3840 x 1440 and it was very nice. 2 weeks later the 5K/2K came out and it was within the 30 day return window so I upgraded and am happy I did. The extra amount of real estate you get is great especially with multiple windows open. This is so much better than the 2 - 32" monitors I had. This works great as a gaming monitor but I wanted it for multitasking and 3 or 4 windows open at a time. It is display port 2.1 compatible and came with all the right cables. It has built in speakers that work very well also. I highly recommend this monitor and LG as a brand as well. .

Upgrading from the 38" Alienware AW3821DW and I can say that OLED is a game changer! The upped 5k2k resolution is amazing once you are dialed in with the colors and the curve becomes one with your pupils!

I love this monitor It's huge very comfortable to play or watch movie. You can easily divide in two : one side with movie other side with whatever you work on. The color are stunning

Loving this monitor so far. Upgraded from LG 34” 21:9 1440p. 5k2k Resolution is fantastic. The size is impressive. Certainly meant for larger desks and/or wall mounting. If you decide to use this monitor for gaming, be certain your GPU can run the resolution. DLSS or FSR can help with this. The curve is great for immersion and productivity. Could be excessive IF you sat too far away. I keep peak brightness on low so that I can sit closer without straining my eyes. At the current sale price, I would encourage anyone looking at this monitor to pull the trigger. At MSRP, I would suggest making sure it is in your budget, as it is a premium product with premium price tag.

Wasn't 100% certain about going from multiple monitors to an ultrawide like this, but after a few days I love it. Took some time to adjust my workflows, and settings to the games I play so my 5070ti could keep up, but it's been great. Not negative or positive but the parabolic effect when sitting in front of it and talking was a little off-putting at first.

It's the best monitor on the market right now. Great color reproduction and amazing clarity. Fast enough for gaming, sharp enough for business or photography. Overall, a beautiful display. Just make sure you have a PC/GPU capable of running it. This monitor is a beast!

Well, looks amazing good picture quality right now im using only for my job, but still going to use for games, i can not say is a readly good monitor but so far so good, i little scare because is Oled, u know the issue the leds been burn, will see in the future, but i love it

This is my end game monitor for casual gaming! You will need a decent GPU to be able to push the resolution and frame rate this Oled Panel can provide but you will be blown away by the performance. Baldur's Gate 3 just looks amazing on this!

End. Game. Monitor. I’ve been really impressed with the LG 5K2K (5120x2160) ultrawide. The extra vertical resolution over typical 3440x1440 makes a big difference for productivity—coding, spreadsheets, and two full-size windows side-by-side feel effortless. Text is extremely crisp, and scaling looks clean on both macOS and Windows. Color reproduction is excellent for photo/video work, and brightness is strong enough for a well-lit room with minimal glare. Connectivity has been reliable, and the monitor wakes quickly without constant input switching. The stand is solid with smooth height/tilt adjustments. It’s pricey, but if you want high-DPI ultrawide workspace, it delivers.

Upgraded from a Samsung 49 inch monitor (CRG9), and I can't recommend the upgrade enough! I am running at full resolution (maybe not full speed) with a couple of 10 series NVIDIA cards on a (almost) 10 year old PC, which is both a commentary on the quality of the old cards and the flexibility of this monitor. The brightness in comparison is insane! The old monitor was much heavier with this one being much easier to move/manipulate; especially love the ease with which it will raise and lower. Resolution is crisp and the size is perfect! While the 49 inch monitor gave a 'smaller' resolution over a wider screen, with the LG seemingly much larger in comparison even at 5K; however, instead of giving you small print and tiny video game characters to watch, you get to appreciate the fine detail and clarity with a taller and more narrow screen. Your first thought will be "the resolution is not a effectively good" but you realize the meant you have to swivel your head side-to-side across a really wide monitor. While the curve seems aggressive, it is completely natural while viewing. It is a more expensive monitor but you are getting what you pay for.

I love the monitor i have been the best experience. With its 5k 2k experience making me feel like i'm in thee actual game with its curvature it looks beautiful. With its beautiful colors and deep blacks while playing the game its amazing monitor with dual moade 330 hertz while playing in 1080p. Best monitor experience i've ever had play evertday experiencing this joy of a monitor.

After deciding to revamp my PC setup with a 5090, I spent a lot of time trying to find the perfect monitor to go with. I tried multiple 4K OLED monitors from Samsung, ASUS, and LG.. All were great, but the 5K2K loomed large in the back of my mind - it felt counter to the spirit of a 5090 rig to go with anything but. I finally pulled the trigger and have been happy since. I love the curve which is a total game changer in terms of immersion and though it feels extreme to begin with, settles you in nicely to the point that flat screens will begin to seem like they are almost curving backwards. I use it 80% for gaming and 20% for work and it's a game changer there as well - it's great to be able to have multiple excel sheets, Outlook and a browser all open on the screen at once without having to sacrifice too much space. Overall, I believe this is the best OLED on the market depending on your need. I can't give it 5 stars, because the price is so much higher than its closest competition and I would prefer it had some of the smart capabilities (including a remote) of other LG and Samsung OLEDs. It's annoying to walk away for a few moments and the monitor to turn itself off, then give me a hard time trying to turn it back on mere moments later.

This monitor looks great! It is the perfect size, the oled screen is great, colors are good, and i couldnt be happier
