LG 45" OLED 240Hz Gaming Monitor (2024) | Perfect for Almost Everyone!

Check out the LG 45GS96QB here: bit.ly/3QgKOPd

[@eugenenikitin3951]

I also bought an LG 39GS95QE for my second computer. In short, after the last update of Windows 11, the fonts look quite tolerable, like on some kind of VA matrix, even true type. Test this model too. ;) This 45’’ is no longer relevant due to its resolution - after all, UWQHD is not enough for this size, whatever one may say. :)

[@Battleneter]

The LG does not have a lower resolution than the G9, both are 1440P, the G9 is wider thus has more pixels horizontally, but that does not equal "higher resolution". Its all about the VERTICAL pixel count not horizontal. The LG is however equivalent to a 32" vertically and the G9 only a 28", so in actual fact the G9 has higher ppi but that's only due to the small vertical screen size.

[@302daddyd]

So far, you're the only person that has reviewed this monitor on youtube so thanks for it as it was helpful. I just got the LG 39GS95QE from Best Buy last week. I was gonna get this monitor but at $1700 it was a no go, until this weekend. It went on sale at Best Buy for $1200 so I pulled the trigger. The 39" also dropped from $1200 to $1000 so I used that $200 savings to get this monitor for $1000. The DPI doesn't bother me as I can't see it unless I'm up against the monitor. I have the scaling to 125 and sitting at 16 inches away from it. My gpu is the 4090 and it struggles in some games to even reach 240 fps. I liked the stand of the 39 over this one, the 39 is so much better. I came from the Asus PG42UQ and the 800R didn't bother me one bit. I got used to it right away. I wouldn't buy this $1700 but at $1200, it's a good deal.

[@xxkillerdogxx]

Why is it only 2K? Thought they would have upgraded to 4k

[@KudaBear316]

more than likely hitting a bigger market not everyone has a 4090 series card to drive these monitors

[@xxkillerdogxx]

@@KudaBear316 can't you play at lower resolution then?

[@PeteMatheson]

Gaming monitor. You could argue that most people don’t have a high spec card to be able to drive a 4k resolution. So the bigger market is a lower res panel that more people can buy

[@xxkillerdogxx]

@@PeteMatheson Not sure for this price of $1600. To me if your selling a $1700 monitor it should be 4K. for a 2K monitor the price should be closer to $1000 or less. Thats just me though.

[@npaul5962]

I bought this monitor after watching the review of the original model. For those looking at this monitor: You trade PPI for insanely fast refresh rates and motion clarity and the best immersion a TV sized monitor can offer. On top of that it’s an OLED. You can find the original model on sale, for the same price as a normal sized OLED. You don’t buy this monitor to get a normal experience. It’s all about the immersion.

[@Akupunktura187]

Bullsh*t mate, I am watching this video on my AW3225qf Oled 4K with 240hz and above I got my G9 Oled 240hz sitting , i sold the LG45 2 weeks ago and will never look back!

[@npaul5962]

@@Akupunktura187 QD-OLED colors are better. I’m not going to argue that. I said smaller screens have better PPI. Yes the 32in 4k QD-OLED is a better screen, it’s fact. But I said this monitor is the most immersive due to its size, curve, the high refresh and motion clarity is excellent. There are plenty of smaller regular sized monitors that have better PPI and QD-OLEDs will always look better than matte WOLEDs (LG 45in). But if someone is looking at this monitor it’s due to it’s size for immersion during gaming. That’s literally the only reason. It’s one of a kind at that until they make 5k ultrawide version 2024 Q4.

[@arondyte318]

True. This screen size + 21:9 aspect ratio + 800R curve immerses me more than my own higher resolution 42inch LG C2 or the MSI MPG 32inch QD-OLED (which I returned). e.g. Playing No Man's Sky on this is a vastly different experience compared to the latter 2 displays as you actually feel like you're in a spaceship instead of just looking at a TV or monitor.

[@digitaldream4477]

Does the new version come with remote?

[@Akupunktura187]

@@digitaldream4477 no, the enw version does not come with a remote - sadly

[@Tea_Leaves741]

I tried the Corsair flex version recently. The only issue i had was with the pixel density. Unlike with a qd-oled display where the colour fringing on text gave me a headache as well as the pixel density being low. Really at that size display 3440x1440 is unacceptable. Unless you're literally only ever playing a game or maybe watching a video. Unlike the G9 oled you really can't even begin to do anything productive imo. In some ways it's like using an old school 1080p or 720p monitor. If the next generation is 5k2k like is rumoured, then that's actually endgame for me.

[@PeteMatheson]

I can’t wait until next years models. Finally starting to see OLED come with larger sizes and higher resolutions. Hopefully 2025 is the year!

[@cephalopodcola]

Would you recommend the older model (45GR95QE-B) over the newer model (45GS96QB-B) if it was significantly cheaper? Currently the older model is about $2099 AUD vs the newer model at $2999. I'm wondering if the change in brightness and HDR is worth the price jump

[@drunkhusband6257]

Newer one. The change in brightness alone is enough to get it over the old one.

[@Ze6rah]

lg website says the new one has the same typical brightness as an old model

[@molluskwater]

[@drunkhusband6257]

[@aos32]

I bought a 34" QD-Oled 175hz ultrawide monitor instead( Philips Evnia 34M2C6500/00) . It is more than big enough in my opinion, and much cheaper than this monitor. Almost half the price in my country.

[@oside_m5]

[@texactual]

You mention that the Ultrawide/Super Ultrawide monitors display HUD’s in the corners. However, I’d like to point out that many of those games have settings that allow you to bring in the HUD closer to the middle - both horizontal and vertically. That might make a difference in game play for ya. Takes away that Con while still retaining the peripherals

[@nathanstevenson4453]

For regular work / productivity is the Samsung 49 inch OLED at 5120 x 1440 going to look better than the LG 45? I was super excited to upgrade from a 34 inch LG ultrawide but the pixellation has been a bitter pill to swallow and now I am thinking of returning it to get the Samsung instead. Even with Black Friday coming up I can't swing $2500 for the 57 inch when the 49 inch is $1000.

Its $500 off right now so its at $1200 which is a steal. Only thing I dont like about it is the brightness. The smaller QD-OLED monitors get up to 1000 nits which is blows this thing away. But the size of this one could be more important to some people.

[@m.devellis]

Prople complaining about the ppi don't realise that there is literally no other monitor in this class. No other 45 inch ultrawide exists

[@m.devellis]

and I mean real ultrawide, 32:9 49 inch doesn't count. Vertical height matters alot for immersion

[@Spinelli__]

@@m.devellis Yup. 49" 32:9 is just a super ultrawide version of a standard 27" monitor (ie. relatively tiny). It's not even close to being in the same category as 45" 21:9 which is an ultrawide version of a standard 36.5"-37" monitor. The only available size I'd even begin to consider against 45" 21:9 is 57" 32:9 which is a super ultrawide version of a 32" monitor...and going from essentially 32" to 37-ish" (let alone 27" to 37") is a huge difference especially in person with the monitor right in front of you.

[@AlexTuduran]

AGON Pro AG456UCZD and Predator X45 don't count? They have the same specs and most probably the same panel from LG.

[@Spinelli__]

@@AlexTuduran Acer Predator X45, Corsair 45" Flex, and possibly others (eg. Agon) are basically just a "re-skinned" version of the LG therefore there's really only 1 option since they're all essentially the same monitor, well, I guess aside from the flexing feature that only Corsair's offers.

[@l2xsniper1]

It's hardly noticeable in games and I have one of the new 4k OLED's from this year and I still prefer the 45" LG

[@5ean5ean22]

Just to clarify. The physical screen may be taller but its the same vertical pixel count at the 32:9. They are both 1440 pixels vertically. The difference is the 32:9 monitor has more horizontal pixels. So the 32:9 has alot more screen space over this monitor bc it has higher pixels per inch. Overall if this monitor is 1 penny iver 1k USD its a rip off.

[@steven_chung]

What do you recommend for productivity? I'm looking for an ultrawide with high resolution with USB C.

[@Tempest-ec2nn]

I use mine for a lot of excel work and don’t notice an issues, but I sit farther away from it for work then for gaming. Need to put it on an arm. Others complain about the PPI but I don’t see it. Probably depends on your eyes.

Unfortunately I purchased the LG 45GS95QE instead of the 45GS96QB which are nearly identical besides the usb-C port (instead of USB-B) and built-in speakers. Ordering directly from LG was a mistake, no exchanges, return are subject to restocking fee, and long RMA process

[@seanoneal777]

After gaming on the 2013 (GR) model and the 2014 (GS) model, did you notice a significant difference in brightness and how the ABL dims the screen during bright moments? I heard the 2013 model's ABL is more aggressive than the 2014. I am going to pick this monitor up for gaming, and I am wondering if i should grab the GR now for $1200 or wait for the GS to drop in price in a few months. If there is a noticable difference, I will wait.

[@Spinelli__]

Never noticed the ABL a single time EVER in 14 months of using the 2023 monitor while gaming, watching movies, videos, etc. Also, the 2023 model can have it's brightness way increased with 4 or 5 settings in the LG service menu (requires an LG service remote that's like $8), not to mention, using DLDSR (at full 240 Hz, RGB) with games drastically increases image quality. The extra brightness settings in the LG service menu combined with DLDSR turns the monitor from a beast to an absolute monster. Best overall gaming monitor in the entire industry by far (or 2nd to the 57" 32:9 Samsung if only play simracing games).

[@jamiethomas3122]

Ngl, i was hoping this 45" with such an aggressive curve had a bit higher resolution. My fear is that the ppi would have me sitting so far away from the screen that the curve would end up being an issue

[@AgentJ1314]

I want this monitor but why have a USB C port that does not also do display? This is one of the biggest benefits of my dell 38in ultrawide.

[@Afroman_Gaming]

I went with the G9 OLED. I love it. But the height is a concern. I am a fan of the 32:9 aspect ratio. I am not a Mac user anymore so that stuff doesn't matter to me. I am not a fan of gaming at 21:9 on the G9, however. I have a high end pc but if I went with a 21:9 I would have probably went 4k. Ultimately, the G9 shape with the 1800R curve (I'm not a fan of the 1000R and definitely not the 800R) fits perfectly on my desk. I was going to wait for a 7680x2160p OLED 32:9 but there is currently not one scheduled for production. So I went with the G9. I do have a 4090 but the framerate on that resolution would not run decent framerates in most games anyway. I do have an LG C1 TV connected as well that I was using to game in 4k before I got the G9.

[@JamaicanMeBritish]

@@IwinMahWay Yeah, I guess you're right.

[@Spinelli__]

Lower input lag than a TV, curvature, 21:9 (ie. "ultrawide") aspect ratio and, most importantly, 240 Hz which makes a huge difference. 120 Hz still has tons of blur regardless of pixel response times due to OLED and LCD screens using a terrible thing called "sample-and-hold" to update the image. It's only when you get to the 180 or 190 Hz area and above that the blur associated with sample-and-hold (often referred to as "persistence blur) starts noticeably being reduced. At 240 Hz (combined with OLED's incredibly low pixel response times), it's awesome.

[@Cerroski]

I've had the previous gen of this monitor for about a year or so and I think I'm making the switch back to a 34" with higher PPI. I ended up using it for more productivity work and it's quite bad in that realm of things.

[@timmers8135]

I’m still waiting for a 5k OLED curved monitor with a delta e < 1 and a 240hz refresh rate where I get the best colors and pixels for photo editing while still have the specs for intense gaming.

This monitor is meant for people who prefer form over function. Its the equivalent of stretching 2560 x 1080p to 34", 1920 x 1080p to 27" and 2560 x1440p to 36". Basically for people who just need a large monitor despite the draw backs that come with not increasing resolution along with the size. Personally, the only way I would own this monitor if I could sit like 4 feet away from it. I'd rather just do 34" 1440p @ 2.5 feet away.

Great review. Saw this at Best Buy today and I loved how it looked. Almost pulled the trigger but thought I should research it first. Not a gamer, mostly productivity and some content development but on a MacBook Pro. Will wait for higher resolution. Curious about those panels on your wall behind the monitor! Any info on them?

[@wissameid8091]

will they make the same in 4k?

[@ftvprima1895]

2024 actually has a new flat stand, but guess not everywhere they sell it with it

[@MrCarter530]

Does it come with remote?

[@1289dude]

I wanted to love it, but the Vertical Banding was so terrible I had to return it. I got another one and the banding was just was bad.. Must have got the panel lottery. I ended up getting the Alienware DWF instead. No banding and is great. Sure its a bit smaller. But I'm happy with it. But the size and deep curve, I did love on the 6QB.

How long does it take to get used to the high curvature of something like this? I love slightly curved monitors ultrawide, but am pretty skeptical on such extreme curves, especially for productivity (I need quick, and accurate mouse placement).

[@PeteMatheson]

Extreme curves are actually more comfortable in my experience. With shallow curves you kinda need to lean a little into each far corner. Bigger curve needs none of that! And it still looks flat when you're sat in front of one

[@GW3N_yt]

Is the problem for productivity, especially for reading text, really that disturbing ?

[@Ridotika]

I bought this monitor but I really have a lot of problems with it, can you help me 😢 I have a (no signal) and I can't run the PC on it, the PC works on my second monitor, I updated the monitor software and changed its cable but to no avail the image doesn't appear 💔

[@hueyfoo]

It's on sale at LG and BB site for 1199 USD. Is it a great deal or should I wait until BF?

[@kelsmuskwa5678]

Probably be saving a extra 200-300 if you wait for BF

[@MOISTxPANDAx]

honestly this is the perfect monitor even while im web browsing i dont see any problems the words look crisp not pixeled at all like i keep hearing with ppi its gotta be a myth lol

[@iDexy88]

45gs96 have a different stand then 45gs95qe don’t understand why there is two 2024 models with different stand

[@davidgiles9751]

If you want a large OLED 4K monitor, you should consider the LG 42 Flex. I had considered the 45 UltraGear, but it's 2K resolution has just too low of a dpi. I've been using the 42 Flex for 3 months now, and wouldn't trade it for anything - except maybe a 48" Flex (if LG made one).

[@blueferrari397]

I agree. Once you've gone to 4K, nothing below that cuts it. I'll also wait for the 48" flex if it comes about.
