It's now just under $1,460 on Amazon (down from $1,999.99). LG 45GX950A-B Ultragear OLED is still a big investment, but a serious one for anyone who cares about pixel density, immersion and future-proof display technologies.
You're looking at a 45-inch ultra-wide curved OLED screen with a 5120 x 2160 resolution, making it a rarity. It doesn't just look good; According to the author, this is one of the few displays of this size and shape that provides such clarity. “Excellent” PCMag review. Compared to more extreme 32:9 aspect ratio panels, the 21:9 aspect ratio feels more natural for everyday use and offers more usable vertical space. Whether you're playing a multitasking game or multi-tasking, the extra resolution pays off with cleaner text, sharper details, and more visible screen real estate.
800R Curved OLED Panel 45GX950A-B works in tandem with a frequency of 165 Hz update rate in full resolution and can go as high as 330Hz if you turn the resolution down to 1080p. Add in DisplayPort 2.1, two HDMI 2.1 ports, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and G-Sync compatibility, and this thing is clearly designed for performance. Input lag figures confirm this, with most modes tested delivering results of less than 10ms. The monitor also supports multiple display modes depending on your use case, such as 4K 16:9 mode on 37 inches if you're watching movies or need sharper framing. The stand is sturdy, adjustable, and surprisingly comfortable for such a large monitor, and the 90W USB-C port is a nice touch for those using it with a laptop.
What are your thoughts so far?
However, this is not a monitor for everyone. The rated brightness is only 275 nits, which means it won't glow brightly in sunlit rooms like some Mini LED or IPS panels do. And while it has internal speakers with some bass, they aren't loud enough to carry the room…headphones still a way to go. But if you have the desktop space, GPU power, and budget, 45GX950A-B this may be the best way to achieve success without going full-time television.
