[@FabiSZN]

Have it. The pixel issue being visible on text fonts is bearable. Not sure why that's one of the most complained about issues. Gaming is beautiful and immersive. Had some flickering issues but after researching I disabled Adaptive-Sync in the monitor and it's been fine since with my 3090.

[@marisbumanis]

Thanks bro, I was worried about the pixel issue, but now I'm buying it for gaming,

[@christianmino3753]

Love how that's what people focus on, like it's a oled curved monitor specific to gaming and maybe a few other niche use cases, sorry if your fucking Comic Sans doesn't look perfect lmao.

Forbidden West looks amazing on this monitor. I definitely feel immersed, it’s crazy good.

[@michaelrousseau4373]

I’ve had this monitor since it came out and absolutely love it . For games and media consumption it’s awesome . But the low PPI makes using it for work like word processing, spreadsheets and coding not as awesome, is usable for light work and I have had no issues with web browsing . I have a second monitor for work like that so for my use it’s great. I have had zero burn In issues yet but I am hyper aware of it so try to be mindful to move static stuff around every week or so. The only con for me is the audio reverb from the screen lol it’s not terrible but it catches me off guard sometimes. Thanks for the video

[@AMX0013]

I want to get this but im scared to invest so much into it. I primarily use my rtx 3060 laptop to game in 2560x1440p. Ive played AC6 in 3440x 1440 and the perfomance drop was noticeable. So have you tried playing on 1440p? Was it off putting ? Also how does 1080p look on it? KZbin 1080p sux on my 1440p at times

[@Salaundre]

I agree with you, it is good for gaming but work is kind of weird. I’ve created a good flow by using the 4 quadrants Windows let me put different windows in.

[@michaelrousseau4373]

@@AMX0013 unfortunately I can’t answer that I’m using a 4080 to drive this monitor and it doesn’t break a sweat. I would say if you’re really interested in it you can always buy it from Best Buy and play your games on it. If your 3060 can’t handle it you will alway have the option for easy return/exchange for a different one . I was on the fence too until I got it and used it . I had both my old and new hooked up and played a few hours on each to get a real feel for how much better or worse they were to each other. It was amazing how great it was for gaming and movies/ KZbin . My old monitor has a great picture too but the OLED was so much better. I would suggest the warranty from BB just to have price of mind on burn in, you can actually use it , enjoy it and not have to worry as much

do a video where you compare this monitor and the odyssey neo g95nc 57"

[@superpandabacon]

Tried the 27” ultra gear 240hz oled and I loved it except the HDR autodim made everything else too dark. I didn’t want to buy a service tech remote and possibly lose my warranty for a $999 monitor just to get extra brightness. If LG lets us regular users turn off autodim and I’ll definitely buy one and keep it

Amazing monitor, but I'll wait for it to have a higher resolution. 1440p doesn't feel enough for such a large 45 inch monitor. Gonna stick with my 34 inch.

[@nalo1728]

screen size is great .but dont know tho if im ok with a 800r or i need a 1200r one. only experienced 1800r diplayed in the mall and its not that curved

[@NativeWarrior081]

I agree! The 800r curve is too aggressive, it doesn't look no more wider than a 16:9 screen. Hopefully the new 5120x2160 240Hz panels by LG will have a 1800R curve!

[@SteelCityWarrior03]

New update just dropped for the OSC. I installed it and restarted my pc. I hooked the USB cable up from pc to monitor and went into settings. I clicked "Run" and it says current version is latest software. I proceeded to click "File Open," and went to the file where i had put both the compressed file that downloaded from LG's website and the extracted files. However the only file showing up when i click "File Open," it only shows the compressed file. Very confused and frustrated.

Then select the zip file. I'm pretty sure I remember having to use the zipped file for a firmware and/or driver update at one point at least.

I’ve been using it for a while, gaming it’s perfect, but! Reading google docs/sheets etc, it’s not great at all. So in short. If you need a work monitor, go with another monitor. For gaming, really good monitor. The resolution is low, but just sit a bit further away and you’re good.

[@xennori1409]

Yeah.. This thing has only 83 PPI(pixel density).. Thats really bad for anything else than Games.. and even there it must be sub par. There is a reason he didnt mention the Resolution at least ONCE in this sponsored video. Its sadly just 3440 x 1440.

1) This is not the world's first 240 Hz OLED screen. 2) It has a button to be controlled without the remote. 3) The monitor's heatsink contains a very loud fan which will instantly become the loudest part of any silent build. The sound isn't a Noctua sound either, it's high pitched whirring.

[@Shinetop]

I have this monitor and I don't ear any noise from the fan. I don't even know that there is a fan.

[@ThisIsMeArnold]

@@Shinetop You don't have a silent build. Put your ear to the back of the screen and turn on/off the display.

[@ThisIsMeArnold]

@@jaso7997 The fan is fully encased and is louder than a 140mm Noctua fan running at 50% speed. Perceived noise is relative to your surroundings. You cannot perceive the sound of a jackhammer smashing asphalt if you use it on an airport runway. Your other statements are false.

@@ThisIsMeArnoldthat sounds like a personal problem. Sorry I don’t live in a house with absolute silence all the time. I have a PC that’s is silent when I not playing games. If you have to put your ear next to your monitor to hear the fan while having a dead silent PC, it’s not a very loud fan.

1440p for 45 inch is pretty horrible.

[@XxViciousxX]

I have both a 45in Corsair Xenon Flex OLED and a 48in 4K OLED LG C1 and honestly they're both pretty excellent obviously the 48-in 4K is crisper But the 45-in 1440p ultra wide doesn't look that bad especially in games The only thing that looks terrible is text so all your desktop icons and text online look pretty terrible. Text in game though is not bad generally because they use such chunky lettering in games but if they used really really small letters I'm sure that too would look bad too. But when you're just playing the game both options provide some super immersive gameplay.

[@BlowitAllUp]

@@XxViciousxX That's what I thought. If you're paying $1k for a monitor then it better have everything including 4k.

[@redlinegaming3612]

Meh it's not suppose to be 4k. That would be a disadvantage. The target market is high fps 1st person gamers. 240fps and wide screen is useless in rpgs and turn based and adventure games. The gamers who want wife screen also want 240hz. No one in that market cares for 4k for COD.

Honestly, I'm buying a smaller, 34 inch OLED over this JUST because it has a built in KVM switch. Having PIP and PBP is useless if you aren't going to throw that in.

[@Chris-zf2xk]

People need to stop about the matte screen. If you haven’t seen it in person especially for gaming than stop. I came from an LG C2 42 oled and this is a much better gaming experience hands down. Also, getting a service remote for $7 bucks on Amazon greatly improves brightnes.

[@cryptocray4184]

Funny it was just the opposite for me. Ive been using the 42" C2 as my monitor for the last year, I picked up this 45" ultrawide a few weeks ago, and ended up returning it to go back to my 42" C2. I'd agree that the ultrawide was better than the C2 for purely gaming, but when it comes to anything else that isnt gaming, I think the C2 is better. The low PPI, while not an issue during gaming, was quite noticeable in all other aspects of use. Some people notice it more than others but the blurry text in windows and being able to actually see the the pixels in some instances was the deal breaker for me.

[@Chris-zf2xk]

I agree with you but I use dual monitors and never really used my oleds to do anything but gaming. I have an Asus XG349c that handles everything else.@@cryptocray4184

Why do 21:9 monitors always have this low resolution.

I would not buy a WOLED (what LG uses in their gaming monitors) display at this time as the new second generation of 'QD-OLED' will come out in January-February 2024. QD-OLED is the way to go even if they would have a slightly shorter lifespan over WOLED. The difference in that is so little that it wouldn't really matter. And for the love of god avoid matte displays. They make the contrast, brightness and clarity worser over the glossy displays.
