LG - UltraGear 45" OLED QHD 240Hz 0.03ms G-Sync/FreeSync Premium Pro Smart Gaming Monitor with DisplayHDR 400 TRUE - Black

I was able to pick this up on a Black Friday deal, and I am so happy I did. The absolute UPGRADE this thing is over any other monitor I have used can't be understated. It is a whole new experience, like I am using something other than my PC... it made everything feel new again. The colors, the smoothness of 240hz, the ability to use it as a TV if I wanted, it is all so much for the money. Gaming on this ... I will never go back to a normal sized monitor again. This an amazing experience that makes me want to play more and more. The only fault I can find is that the stand is a bit wobbly. It COULD be my desk that is leading to the shake, since the screen is so large. But I think a slightly more sturdy stand would be all this needs, and even with that, I am nit-picking.

I’ve been using this LG 240Hz monitor daily, and the performance has been outstanding. The refresh rate makes a noticeable difference right away motion is incredibly smooth with no screen tearing or stuttering, especially during fast-paced gaming and high-frame-rate content. The display quality is sharp and vibrant. Colors look accurate, blacks are deep, and brightness is more than enough for both daytime and low-light use. Text is crisp, which also makes this monitor great for productivity and creative work when I’m not gaming. Setup was straightforward, and the on-screen menu is easy to navigate. Adjusting settings like refresh rate, brightness, and input options is simple and intuitive. The build quality feels solid, and the stand provides good stability while allowing for easy positioning. Overall, this monitor delivers exactly what you’d expect from a high-refresh-rate LG display speed, clarity, and reliability. Whether you’re gaming competitively or just want a smooth, premium viewing experience, this monitor absolutely delivers.

Let’s get the cons out of the way. Text clearing and fringing could be an issue for some. For me it’s not bad and it’s similar to similar to other 2k ultra wide monitors. Speaker that comes with it is usable but not full. The curve can be a bit much for some. But for me it works. A monitor this size should be more curve so you don’t have to turn your head to much. I have tried the LG34” OLED and for monitor that size 800R is too much. Asus 32” OLED dual mode. Great monitor for gaming and build quality is great. But needed more horizontal space for me to use when working and 4K takes more power to achieve that kind of FPS. Then there is the Alien 34” QDOLED monitor too ,be the 34” is still lacking for me in work space. QDOLED always look more vibrant but to me it looks too vibrant and artificial. WOLED looks colorful but not artificial. All of them were good monitor and all worked great for games. But for me the 45” gives me more work space when I need it. The OLED quality and speed on games when I need it. It’s just a better size ratio for both work and play. You can do it all

I love almost everything about this monitor. The picture quality is amazing. With OLED you get colors that pop and the blacks that are truly black. The ultra wide curved display is absolutely fantastic for gaming or having multiple windows open. Its like having 3 monitors with no bezel lines. The only complaint I have is that this is not the type of monitor you'd want leave on all the time. There might be a setting that I need to set or something but every time it goes into sleep mode it wont wake up with the PC and I have to press the power button on the remote to turn it on and then select the input. It can get kind of annoying, but other than that its a great monitor. BTW I got this for less than a thousand on Black Friday. Still ridiculously expensive but you do get what you pay for.

First oled. Game changing, fantastic blacks, 240hz is insane and the curve is very immersive. Text fringing easily fixed with turning off windows cleartype.
