Just upgraded to this from a 32" Samsung G5. Huge upgrade! Wasn't expecting this drastic of a difference going to Oled. So far loving it, and best $1,100 I've spent.
Im using the 45GR95QE and it's the sweet spot for me. Here are my takes: - 3440x1440 doesnt stress my gpu. - More immersive than my 2nd gen G9 due to the better height of the screen. The G9 just felt like a 27" monitor to me. - Does not auto dimm as much as my LG C2 which was very annoying. - OLED is just a plus. I would get this even if it isnt oled. The 45" 3440x1440 is just what I really wanted on a monitor.
Appreciate the video bro. I was on the fence between the LG 45 and the new G9 G95SC. What I like about the LG 45 is the height and curvature. From the reviews, the facts are the facts, I see more LG 45 owners trying to defend the LG 45. Hoping I made the right call with the G9. With BB membership 1650$.
I am glad i could help :D while the LG of course has its strengths its simply the truth that the G9 is a better product (at least on paper). Although the price itself is a bit high at 1650 its for sure going to be a sound investment for many years to come!
@@davidp2847 it’s a gaming monitor however not every game is beneficial to play on a monitor that size matters. If you play RPG, MMORPG games I would say yes the G9 is a great buy. If you play FPS games moderately or significantly this is not the monitor for you.
I was looking at this or the Alienware DWF 34", I already have a 34" acer x34 IPS, which I love and that's 110ppi. so I am thinking the DWF is best balance between 21:9/4k and ppi. I do have a LG g2 for console gaming which of course does the 120hz. the LG is in the family room, so won't be using PC on that. I dont know the size of your OLED LG B9 TV, but just to note that a 55" LG old is still 80ppi I believe, which I the same as your LG ultragear 21:9?
I havent looked into the AW too much ill have to do some research on that one! Very nice though! The G series will be my next purchase when my B9 finally gives out on me. Also yea the B9 that i have does only have that same 80ppi but it is of course a larger display as well as higher resolution which will more than make up for that lower ppi
Can you suggest best settings for productivity with this monitor? It seems to be fading in and out even scrolling web pages, and some tabs look good while others aren't bright enough. I'll return if I have to, but the screen size is what I needed it for to edit web pages. Really hoping to nail this down, thanks!
i know exactlty what youre talking about and it sounds dumb but make sure that HDR is turned on in your windows settings, perhaps lowering the brightness of HDR would make it flicker less. i use a different monitor now and honestly i cant remember if i fixed that issue but i dont think i did.
Good review but the pixels per inch doesn’t affect me as much as he says I play valorant all the time and I love it. And the ppi doesn’t affect me one bit while I’m in higher rank lobbies.
I bought it from a msi 1440p 32 inch curved that Broke because I was sick of lying in bed playing on my lg g2 that I'll still keep wall mounted but I miss sitting at my desk m&k
From my understanding the firmware update was done by downloading somerhing called LG Calibration Studio. I wasnt able to get that to work but i havent had any issues. Have you yourself been having any?
so you mean play HDR content for 5 hours non-stop? and then after that do pixel cleaning? so like some HDR movie trailer on youtube on loop for 5 hours maybe?
@@The_Donn so it’s not worth buying such an expensive monitor with high quality if it ain’t going to get all the juice from it cuz ps5 won’t provide it
Low pixels vs resolution that you complain about (valid) should easily be able to be sorted by DSR, assuming the game robustly supports it! For me, its about actually seeing and noticing pixels though, that annoys me, returned 2 screens so far due to that. But you'll get the fully picture you want by DSR or scaling in game.
lol i bought it because of low dpi, so all elements that cannot be zoomed in would be bigger. I had 34 inch ultrawide before, and wanted all of the same, except bigger Also i have no idea how you can use in on 100% brightness - its so bright that it burns my eyes! I had to set it to 25%
Thats going to be one of the best questions as well as the most difficult one in these comments. To be fair i havent gotten my hands on the samsung G9 so my opinion may not be the most reasonable. The curve on the Samsung is just a little bit more aggressive, meaning just a little bit more curved (1000R vs 800R) as well as the screen itself is a bit wider at 49" rather than 45". Also this year Samsung went with 5120 x 1440 as opposed to LGs 3440 x 1440 so the text clairty is going to a bit better on the Samsung. The LG OLED technology provides more accurate colors (not as big of a difference than it used to be) but as with any Samsung they can get brighter than LG OLEDs so youll have to take into condsideration the enviornment that youre playing in. I think the biggest thing that influences my desicion the is Samsung notoriously terrible customer service. Even with all the little extras that the G9 has over the LG i personally am still staying far away from Samsung. Maybe you could just call me an LG fanboy lol. With that being said youre definitely going to have to watch a side by side comparison for a better opinion because on paper Samsung is really showing out this year! TLDR: i like LG better than Samsung
Id have to agree with you that in some aspects it is for sure disappointing. I’m considering getting the g9 myself, would definitely post a comparison if i did!

How are you getting on with the G9? I'm thinking the exact same thing right now and I'm about to buy either one of them but can't decide

Hello, as I can get the monitor driver, I see as generic pnp monitor LG ultragear +
tysm homie I was getting so annoyed with that red tone on everything!
Is the refresh rate 240 set by default or is there an option to enable it?.

Where'd you go to firmware update your monitor?
Can you link me..

Yup thats exactly right! I did the same thing, just had the Avatar 2 trailer on loop lol
Great notes , the monitor in my opinion is a bit big for a 1440p resolution , we need a 32 in 4k 240hz qd oled
I agree with you on that 100% hopefully we can get that soon without having to pay an arm and a leg!
How did you get it to 240hz???? and also what’s the best setting recommended for ps5??
I am sorry to have to be the one to tell you but the PS5 can do a max of 120Hz using HDMI 2.1, same thing with xbox. I am on pc of course
@@The_Donn so it’s not worth buying such an expensive monitor with high quality if it ain’t going to get all the juice from it cuz ps5 won’t provide it

@@rudyg6922 for sure i just uploaded a side by side comparison and it really is the better product
Which TV was that on the other side? 0:27
That one was an LG OLED B9. An older model but the first to have HDMI 2.1
Just got this lg and its so disappointing, wish it was the same ppi as the g9, thanks for the review ^_^
