I Was Wrong... THIS Is the ULTIMATE OLED Gaming Monitor

[@MistyKathrine]

I think the biggest issue with this monitor is that it's $1700. For that price you could buy an LG C2 AND a 4070Ti. You could literally upgrade to OLED and upgrade your GPU for just the price of a screen upgrade.

[@VysesDarkheart]

actually think about this, best buy sells the c2 42" for between 600-800... and that's open box which retains the same warranty as a brand new product meaning you just pay less for something. I paid 638$ for mine from there so that + a 4070Ti and you would have change in your pocket.. this may be a nice monitor but I would miss the calibratable HDR, 4x HDMI 2.1 ports and smart tv interface... not to mention the LG has a media player built in that's robust enough to play nearly any format movie native from the tv itself.... the c2 just cant be beat IMO.... def trying not schill here but 1700 is too much... The Ultra gear stand is so lame, it has this fork design that if you are running like a 25" deep desk it means your gunna have a bad time.. all around these gaming monitors are are just horrible value.

[@Pullo83]

@@VysesDarkheart Wish this were the case for me. I had to return the C2 last month because it was just too much screen for me. My room setup means it had to stand on my desk, and my eyes were completely wiped everyday. I have the 27" LG OLED monitor now and it's just right for my situation.

@Bzake Sure, but it's price is still terrible.

[@JuanTorres-gn2ss]

@Bzake yeah but usually people trying to buy oled tvs or monitor it’s to run games at max at 4k or 1440p max so 120hz is enough

[@TerraWare]

While it's nice the pixel density of it is my biggest concern. Seems like a big size for that resolution. I have a 34" monitor with the same resolution and if I move a little closer than the distance I normally sit I can begin to notice the pixels. The fact that it has such a heavy curve too makes it kind of difficult to sit at a big distance I would think.

[@jorgevargas9006]

Been using it for 2 weeks now. Haven't had any complaints so far swtiching from clearType to MacType while using this monitor. The curvature is actually pretty good considering the size too.

[@gamermaster16508]

34in is the max a monitor should be imo

[@kell7689]

The `only` instance where I think the 45" makes sense is if it doubles as a TV screen you use to watch from your bed or something

[@docholliday6296]

@@gamermaster16508 You know what others "need" with their space? How could you know what people need? You have their room dimensions? Their Desk size? Mounting method? You might just need a bigger monitor, depending. Imagine if your country, wherever you live said, I think we will only manufacture 16 inch TV's for people. And that's it. Do you think some people would realize they're not in a college dorm and want a 65 or 75 inch in their living room? I rest my case.

[@gavinderulo12]

It's essentially a 1080p pixel density

[@trombone32123]

I just got this monitor and it's incredible. Yes, I'll address this: The pixel density is about the same as a 27 inch 1920x1080 or a 35 inch 2560x1080, but the screen is just so incredible and immersive and the HDR colors look really good on this monitor. Not a lot of monitors have good HDR. However, unless you're right up close to your monitor, the gaming experience is excellent, I'd say second to none even. Inky blacks and ultra high fps, and it being 1440p actually helps achieve 240fps or somewhat close to, for those of us who don't have a 4090 or any 40 series for that matter. If it was 4k, or even 1600p, it would be that much more demanding. If you're on the fence, I'd say go for it. It's VERY expensive. If you're ultimately a gamer, and you don't sit one foot (or less) away from your screen, you will enjoy it. The curve is one of the most intense I've seen, but it's absolutely acceptable in person, and to an extent, preferable. In pictures it may look too aggressive, but you have to just sit in front of it for yourselves. If anything, buy it from a place with a good return policy and try it. Videos won't do ANY justice. You need to see it for yourself.

[@peppaz]

I was excited to check this monitor out, as I am rocking the few year old Alienware 38 inch AW3821DW .. And I was shocked to see the resolution on the LG is 21% lower stretched over 7 more inches of diagonal screen (6,144,000 pixel vs 4,953,600 pixels - 3840x1600 vs 3440x1440) .. That's crazy! Yes it is OLED and 240 hz.. but I can't imagine paying $300 more for it. Glad OLED gaming monitors are catching on, will be waiting a little longer for one.

[@trombone32123]

​@@peppaz I was actually debating between Alienware's 38 and this one. I know the 38 has higher resolution, but I ultimately wanted a bigger screen. Went from a 35 (or 34.5 if you will), which is why I bit the bullet on this one. No regrets! I know the pixel density is lower, but truly, as odd as this might sound to some you only really notice it if you're looking for it. Sitting back, relaxing, normal consumption and gaming, the content looks incredible. And yes! The OLED, HDR and 240hz are a huge plus too! So it was worth the trade off for me for slightly lower resolution. I suppose it also benefits being a tad less taxing on my GPU too so it was a win all around for me. It only goes up from here though, LG started it so I can't wait to see how other companies improve! Happy to be an early adopter though. No regrets.

[@squirrelsinjacket1804]

Meh, IMO the best time to finally buy a expensive monitor is when they make one of these at the full 2160 vertical resolution. If I'm spending that much money I want to expect it will last for top end gaming for 6-10 years paired with a 4090 or maybe a 5090 (probably needed to drive a game at that resolution).

If you advocate for eye-candy, and then go out of your way to lower settings, just you can reach 4k at 240, you are fooling yourself. 1440p at arms length distance with this monitor is fine.

The panel is the same as a $3000 Asus panel. I've only had it for a day, but so far, the panel has been awesome. It has almost all of the advantages of an OLED (high contrast, deep blacks, etc) without any of the negatives (burn-in, warped text, low brightness, price, etc).

1152 Dimming Zones are not really a lot when comparing to my MBP 16" and its 2550 Zones. I would guess it still has blooming, especially in darker scenes. Also its "only" 32" and also "only" 16:9 aspect ratio. So if someone wants a big display with a wide aspect ratio display for gaming it doesn't cut it. I currently have a 32" DELL VA Display (S32something DGF) and its really difficult to find something that would really make a difference besides a new OLED Display (Alienware QD, Samsung G8, this LG).

[@pk.002]

Update: I gave it a lengthy demo a month ago and ended up buying it, it does not disappoint whatsoever. Honestly, the only four things the Alienware AW3423DW has over it are: -Brighter panel (but not by much) -More saturated colors -Greater pixel density -Glossy coating (the coating is not as good as those on LG's OLED TV's and makes blacks look gray under light. Keep in mind that the LG 45" OLED monitor matte coating is not exactly matte. It is more semi-gloss; think the kind on the AW2721D). 34" is also a better size for most people, but otherwise the LG is more feature rich and an very immersive display. It also feels better built to me and has bezels that aren't intrusive like the AW3423DW. The refresh rate is far better than the AW3423DW too. I love it, but ultimately with the AW3423DW and AW3423DWF going on sale all of the time with refurbs being especially cheap, you have to consider what is better for your use case. You will also have to buy an extended warranty from the store you get it from, as I don't trust LG's with burn in.

Genuine question, Between this and the Samsung G9 OLED(the G95SC) What would be the deciding factor? Or i guess what would make you pick between the two and why?

[@Ladioz]

Is Windows 11 worth getting? Does it make games smoother? been struggling on windows 10 lately... debating a fresh install so i find myself in a crossroad. any help would be appreciated

[@urchinsify]

Love watching all these techs im never going to be able to afford.

[@LLyra-vp1od]

It is support custom 4k resolution? I have an Asus Monitor VG32VQ with native 1440p resolution and 144Hz but for may totaly surprise I setup custom resolution at 2160P (4k) with 144Hz and works very very fine!! Test it!!!

[@Xidification]

How well does it handle PbP? Maybe show it's implantation? Maybe review it's features instead of trying to convince me I don't need 4k? Just saying 🙂

[@TheBicycleLadyThings]

I enjoy your videos thanks for making them.

[@williambowie1575]

Only Cost 1,700.00 bucks

[@MistyKathrine]

Yeah that's the biggest turnoff for this screen (other than the matte coating). For $1700 you could by the LG C2 AND an RTX 4070Ti. This monitor needs to be at least $200-300 cheaper before it starts to make sense.

[@leonelmessi3010]

is in-game FOV increased when using this kind of Monitor?

[@AvoidTheseMemes]

Do they have a noncurved version of this?

[@MistyKathrine]

There is the Corsair one (Xeneon Flex?) that uses the same panel but is bendable so can be either curved or flat based on the user preference.

[@AvoidTheseMemes]

@@MistyKathrine Thanks

[@JaySee5]

45" is too big. 34" 1440p Ultrawide FTW!

[@slayinghercules4736]

Gotta say I just found your videos and I love it I just bought my first build and the parts are all coming in hopefully I don’t mess anything up but I wish for a lifetime I could be building pc’s and maybe I’ll even ask for your help if I mess up I live nearby in winter springs But dude I love your content👍👍

[@oside_m5]

I have the newer GS version of this 45 and love it. I push it with a 4090 at full ultra settings and DLSS Quality and it looks phenomenal and 120+ fps on AAA. I wanna meet all these people that can drive a 4k ultra wide resolution of this monitor at a high frame rate 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@kriaz9916]

I spend most the time on my pc gaming, and homework sometimes, and coming from an already low ppi monitor, I think this think is perfect for since it’s on sale for 1200 rn

[@badpuppy3]

With that low PPI? I don’t think so

[@Brad-bb7ey]

Editing out the 3 hours of trying to assemble the monitor before reading the instructions was a smart move.

[@thanosaias2717]

Is that an evo wbe panel?

[@Kodyssey]

Can you run that thing MAXED OUT with 13900K and RTX 4090? I’m not paying that much for a monitor unless I can max out my graphics and have fluid play..

[@pk.002]

It will handle it just fine. You're not going to hit 240 frames in every game even with a 4090/13900k, but you can run them all maxed out and fluid. I have a 4080 and 12900k with the AW3423DW which is the same resolution as this monitor, and it's been a joy to use with my games maxed out and running fluidly.

[@Kodyssey]

@@pk.002 Thank you for the reply. I ended up buying one.. but took it back. Wicked monitor, love the wide and curved screen.. but going from a 4K display to 1440 was unbearable for me. So, got the LG OLED C2 42" and saved half my money lol. So far, no complaints other than dimming.. I may get the service remote to take care of that issue.

[@emonkhan1443]

Awsome now make it smaller with tge sane res, i want 34 inch max

[@SugarFreeTargets]

Would love if this monitor had a smaller size like 40".The PPI seems too weak and this monitor is so large it hardly fits on my desk.

[@RQUKOfficial]

Loving my OLED. Everything just pops and the responsiveness is delicious. :)

[@Seriksy]

I agree with your points. If you do however got a beefy GPU then I don't think this is the right panel. If only it were glossy

[@torcheddreadnought899]

@GregSalazar The monitor is nice, but that Scorpions Album Is spectacular.

[@davidrains6751]

i cant find a good mini hand vacuum for my gaming laptop can you please help

[@jd31068]

Watching this on my LG 27" 4K 60hz monitor powered by an RX 5700 XT (I just consume streaming content on this PC) LG makes great panels that is for sure!

[@WanderingNasi]

Now give me this in 4k for less than 3gs and im sold

[@atariplayer3686]

The PPI is of this monitor is below average! Oh and best of luck with finding a GPU that can push 240 fps in modern game titles at that resolution...

[@MistyKathrine]

Same PPI as a 27'' 1920x1080p screen and those are really common.

[@universe616]

@@MistyKathrinewhich isnt great. So for the sake of oled, you lose rest of the good stuff like resolution

[@MistyKathrine]

@@universe616 Resolution is just fine. Playing Baldur's Gate 3 in HDR on a 55'' screen is an amazing experience.

[@savagemadman2054]

Ignoring price, if they come up with a 27 - 32" 16:9 (or better 16:10) OLED monitor at 2k resolution I might actually consider buying one. Gigantic size, ultrawide, and curved are all a hard *no* for me - yes I have tried them before as an early adopter.

[@slayerboii86]

they have

[@savagemadman2054]

@@slayerboii86 Well whaddya know, they do have one now - the 27GR95QE-B. Doesn't pop up here on Amazon or Newegg, but Best Buy has it. The rated 200 cd/m brightness spec is a bit brutal though.

[@MistyKathrine]

I don't know if we'll see actual native 2k OLED monitors since that's a 17:9 ratio and not that common outside of cinema screens. They do have some 2.5K OLED dsplays though at 27''.

[@MissingNumb]

Well actually Greg, you do need a screwdriver (included), for the remote. Boggled my mind when I first found the bit, "What could this be for?"... LG is so classy...

[@andreyutzuu]

How is text in windows?

[@N3KO_79]

Honestly for a ultrawide monitor is 38 inches the sweet spot... 45-49 inches monitor are just too big... But i have to say, is a wonderfull monitor... I have 2 LG Oled TV (55 C1 and 42 C2 evo) and they have a fantastic immage, i love them... I hope the evolution of monitors are Oled.

[@ryanespinoza7297]

I am waiting for a 32 inch curved 16:9 4K oled. I loved the neo g7 except for its hdr and VA ghosting. I tried the alienware ultrawide qdoled and I miss the 4k ppi

[@unknownorigin8446]

In year and a half we should see 4K 27" and 32" (QD) OLED gaming monitors.

[@AvitaB]

i got the LG 45GR95QE-B as a prize this cost around 800 USD in late 2024 same OLED 240hz awesomeness.

[@boedilllard5952]

I'd be all in when they come out with a 57" or larger I'm all in!

[@stevenandrews8225]

You're gonna make me go buy this thing, aren't you?

[@andrewwardle-bu9yx]

i want to go oled , useing LG38GL950G ultragear with 3080 TI and runs great .. but for near viewing i just think 45 inch is too much , i went from 32 to 34 then 38 and this seems masive when close too it . maybe have to wait a while for a 38 to come out ...

[@xyz2theb]

nice monitor, but i couldn't imagine going backwards from 4k.

[@mrknighttheitguy8434]

Like everybody else Gregg, you didn't try FS2020 on an ultrawide... it's crying out for it!

[@teofrl]

This looks like an AMAZING monitor!! 240Hz AND OLED! Imma check the price and edit! 😱
