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 yup this thing hits a more hardcore market segment. It's a full fledged high end gaming PC monitor.

@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.

Pubg doesn't benefit from an ultra wide as it just pulls the rest of the view in. So you have a narrower FOV. This is what happens on my super ultra wide 32:9 screen it is unplayable

If the lower pixel density don't bother me it's likely a keeper.

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.

[@Nuck-Fo0bZz]

I've got this monitor. Wish it was 3440x1600. I don't really care about 4K and would honestly prefer to stay away from it. I will always choose a higher refresh rate. The PPI is low in this monitor, but honestly I don't notice it at all and I set about 18 to 22 inches away

[@dtairwalker]

Using the AW3423DWF for working + gaming. I really love the 1800R curve, because it is still good for working. The text clarity is absolutely no issue for me with this QD OLED triangle RGB subpixel layout. 45 inch looks also phenomenal though. But I think I personally prefer higher pixel density over screen size. And also the LG is a little bit too expensive for my taste at the moment.

[@gex581990]

You made the right decision tho if LG made it a 34” I’d definitely go for that but for some reason LG went braindead and thought 88ppi was acceptable for a $1700 monitor. I really don’t understand why they thought 45 inches was a good idea. If they were really set for a dumb size like that it should be have at least been 3840x1600

[@dtairwalker]

The DWF is absolutely phenomenal. I have it since a few days and it blew me away. Make sure to properly calibrate the HDR colors in windows etc. There are good reddit threads for this.

[@TerraWare]

I got the DW the other day at Micro Center for $850 open box. They said it had a scratch , turns out it was just a scuff in the rear I end up cleaning with goo gone. Good as new. It's fantastic. It also makes me wonder about the pixel density on this LG monitor because it's the same resolution and yet quite a bit bigger.

[@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).

This monitor's issue isn't the PPI it's the WBGR subpixel layout. Their smart TVs use an RGBW subpixel layout that is much better for text. I use the LG C1 55'' on my desk with a similar PPI and I think text looks perfect on it.

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.

[@mehdiakhannouch6185]

For me being a AntiGlare Panel and not a Glossy Coating is a dealbreaker especially for this price, I would rather buy a 42" C2 for way cheaper and use Ultrawide resolution mode or Custom RES, also being able to play at 4K and 2K 16:9 without black bar, not to mention having great integrated speaker with dolby Atmos.

[@hades4438]

Exactly. I am using that TV right now and it's really very lame to get a 32"+ monitor with 2K.

[@Spacer8D]

Would you prefer this monitor over the LG 48" Ultragear 4k OLED monitor?

[@AvitaBeckling]

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

[@bearxor]

3840x1600 is really needed in this size. And I don't know why LG can't put some built-in speakers on this thing.

[@mr.lunatic3157]

For what?

[@TheSometimeAfter]

Why? What a waste that would be to 98% of it's userbase

[@mr.lunatic3157]

@@TheSometimeAfter right..do we even use speakers that small.. its either headphones or a good sound system we use... 2 small speakers insert into a monitor we wont use anytime

[@ryanespinoza7297]

Built in speakers where? Do you see how thin the panel is?

[@dagarath]

2-4w speakers are useless in the monitor as they will be back firing, better off spending $10 on a little bluetooth speaker with the same but front firing or $15-20 on a 2.1 system that comes with a sub, either option would be superior to 4 watt back firing speakers.

[@eldenlord5326]

1440p for 1700 $🤡

[@cloud9847]

1440p was a smart decision. At 4k you'd need a truly beefy system to run it and have good frames at 4k. 1440p OLED will be PLENTY gorgeous enough without 4k and it will allow enough systems that don't cost $3k to run it at maximum frames. I'm buying one next week and I'm absolutely stoked.

[@stuka101]

How you finding it?

[@TBomb85]

I want to see 3 of them in the racing sim... Someone pester LG until they cave

[@ALFGamingTV]

brightness is very low. price is hugely overpriced. this is the first gen panels from lg. resolution QHD+ is fine - get aw3423dw for 800$~, or wait until this lg costs like 900$ or better wait for second generation qd-oled panels from samsung (they are already in production) - hdr true black 500 and 1500~ peak brightness on 3-5% white window. This is just betatesting now unfortunatly.

[@markmcmillan6254]

Yawn......

[@javianbrown8627]

I love OLED but I prefer my monitors to be about half this size

[@RiceOfTheThirdWorld]

But it's 1440p so it's not the ultimate and not the best. It's a no for me. My 4090/13900kf would be disappointed.

[@GameFirst]

QD-LEM、MINI-LED、Micro-LED，all just want save cost. the OLED is the best!

[@1981AdamGs]

Hard pass. The pixel density is terrible for that size. It would drive me nuts because I use my PC for more than just gaming. There's no way I would spend this $500 more for this over the Alienware DW 34" ultra-wide. Also, why do manufacturers continue to put USB ports on the back where you can't easily reach them?

[@shitbringer]

Nice commercial.

how long ago did you record this video Greg lol considering your call of duty is playing in Verdansk which hasnt been around for well over a year lol

Just picked it up running a 4070 super it looks phenomenal. My game of Warzone crashed an d I had to switch to my series X on a lg OLED and this made that OLED look like butt. It’s amazing

[@thehurts9216]

so for a complete setup to let me enjoy the monitor I have to spend like......5-6k .................fuck the top of PC gaming is getting expensive. Maybe its just the economy that makes it feel that way. Dreaming though

[@jeedmodorn5494]

Features to cost - this is at best a 5/10 product. "Stretching" 1440p over 45" is a major resolution hit. OLED is fantastic. But the res downside must be enormous. This is a sponsored product review that suffers from bias. Disappointing.

[@davidgiles9751]

Fantastic looking, but a little too big with too much curvature. Give me this in a 40" 21:9 with say 1,200r to 1,500r curvature and price it about $500 less. Better yet, just make it $999.99

[@benny_1985]

Why isn't anyone reviewing the samsung 34" oled (with its normal pixel density)

[@ryanespinoza7297]

Because it’s the same panel as the alienware

[@nabiljemel2838]

It is a cut down OLED TV. Some one had the genius idea, what to do with 4K OLED panels with defective pixels ? Well cut away the defective pixels and sell it as a sub 4K resolution monitor. That‘s why we have sudden increase in ultra wide OLED gaming monitors and none of them exceeds the 4K resolution.

[@Games_and_Tech]

I had the 27 in version... i returned it, it was incredible dimm... also hated the matte coating... I was expecting an small lg oled c2, but it is nothing like that, i spent most of the time that i had it watching the lg hdr demos vudieos to try to justify it... i simply coudn't

Did you shut down the power energy saver thing? People say it helps a lot

Wouldn't buy this for this price. I bought my 34XP for the original price & it was not worth it

[@brucepreston3927]

It's a cool monitor, but I hate curved panels! The glare I get from them is just way too distracting...I bought 2 different curved panels and ended up sending both of them back because of the glare...I really want a 27" 2560×1440 240hz OLED...

[@ryanespinoza7297]

So the LG ultragear 27 inch QHD OLED? Because the monitor you want exists and it’s $999.

[@MSteamCSM]

2:19 it's optical output and it does sound like crap. Sound is muffled even with top-of-the-line DAC's. 27inch version has the same problem.

[@ΧρήστοςΚυράνας]

1st too expensive 1900euro never!!!!2nd 45'' should be at lesat 3840x1600 resolution so sorry but your review is not right.

[@joker927]

Curve is too aggressive. 1000R needs to go away. it's not a helmet. Also the PPI is too low if you need to do work or surf on it. Needs more res. Who buys a monitor like this and can't push 4k pixels?

[@alexanderpressler5364]

0:34 lol "the holy grail" 🤣😂🤣 ... this monitor has only 80ppi ... its like a 1080p monitor but with oled ... wtf the holy grail 😆

[@Glebean]

Bro it's 1440......it's 2023 why is this garbage being made? My work PC is 4k ...

[@tarb1320]

The Curve is to big and the number one deal breaker is that resolution is trash for this size monitor. If it was 3840x1600 I'd buy it today but hard pass as is.

[@LadislavAlexa]

It's a very nice monitor, it's my dream, but it's very expensive for me. Moreover, here in Europe it will probably cost even more. Nice video though, thanks for the review, I enjoyed watching it. :)

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

[@kkarab747]

a 1700 dollars monitor with 80 dpi. You can actually see the pixels in the close ups! You are going to go blind in less than a month. The stupidity of this thing is bigger than its price tag...

[@j-ben1191]

It's totaly wrong. 4K is better in medium preset than 1440p all max sttings and with a good graphic card you can play in good conditions in 4K

[@MustafaGT]

Trust me. Do not buy this monitor. I saw it as a demo on Best Buy store and the PPI on this thing is horrible. You literally can see the pixels just sitting at normal viewing distance.
