This is one of the most immersive gaming monitors on the market thanks to a beautiful 45 inch ultrawide curved OLED display. But is it worth the cost?
Monitor kindly supplied for review, but as always, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

What’s the link to the light bar?
Picked this monitor up about a month ago when i saw it on sale at $1299 US. Just Wow!!! Coming from a LG 34" ultrawide, several years old. I did adjust my behavior when it comes to leaving it on. I manually put windows into sleep or turn-off the monitor completely, not taking any chances for burn-in. No issues with the dpi for my day-to-day work stuff. My eyesight isn't all that great so it's not an issue for me.
Just use a screen saver
Love your vids scorpio I think u review things in the best possible way i and a lot of other people love watching ur content keep up the good work and have a good day also it’s really nice having someone to provide tech knowledge from the uk since most people I see on UA-cam who do tech reviews are from us and so the links and shit are to us websites
Dang my guy, thanks for this review! Helped out quite a bit
love to see your videos bro. keep up the good work
Amazing Video! Commenting for Discord As well. Your Videos are amazing. Keep up the great work
Thank you so much! What's your discord @ ?
what a great video ben, always loving your videos bro. - hans
Thank you so much, Hans! Really appreciate your support!
Wow games look amazing on this monitor! I'm tempted to switch my dual monitor setup for a curved one, this just looks so aesthetically pleasing as well :D
great review as always bro keep going !
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your support as always!
I would own one if it was 3840x1600. I know it doesn't seem like much higher, but that difference in clarity would make it's use in reading smaller gauges in MSFS2020 significant.
Completely understandable, I can definitely see what you mean regarding intricate details like those in MSFS. I think it would either have to be a resolution bump (as you mentioned) or dropping the monitor size down to something like 38", but of course the size is part of the appeal.
I have been waiting 2+ years for a 38" 3840x1600 OLED monitor to replace my 38GN950B.
So what's the difference in the monitor
If you want one today, I bought a Samsung S90C 55 inch TV. It allows for a 21x9 aspect in game mode which you use for PC. I change my resolution on Nvidia to 3840x1600 with 144hrtz refresh. The refresh is fine because even my 4090 has trouble pushing AAA games over 144 FPS at that resolution at high settings. This gives me about a 48 to 50 inch widescreen display with black bars on top and bottom, but since it is oled the black bars are completely black and disappear. The TV has VRR for AMD and Nvidia, and of course all the other TV bells and whistles. The challenge is that it has ABL which dims a screen over time, but that only affects you when browsing typically a move of the screen immediately brings to full brightness. Its no problem when gaming. And if you console game it looks fantastic with 2.1 HDMI ports. This TV has the new Samsung panel and is brighter than the LG monitor. In fact, I've found TVs used as monitors seem to get more bright than monitors. I assume that's because monitors are scared of RMA due to potential screen burn in.
Yep. It appears we'll have to wait until late 2024 or early 2025 for 3840x1600 or a 4K variant.
Great review I think I will be purchasing this. The light that you have on your monitor where did you get it from?
I just got mine yesterday and can’t stop playing on it look so beautiful playing MW3 see the enemy better.
That’s a pretty big monitor 240hz sounds pretty amazing ngl , I bet the games graphic with that monitor will look amazing great vid scorp keep up the good work
Thank you so much! Yeah it's such an insane experience, it makes me realising how much I was missing out on with my previous 27" monitor. Appreciate the support! 🤝
I have close to 3,000 hours on mine and think the hate this monitor gets is unwarranted. While it’s not a monitor for office work (the lower pixel density is evident here) it excels at literally everything else.
21:9 is magic. Not too wide, not too tall. It truly feels like the sweet spot.
Movies and games look amazing. Motion is fast and fluid. There’s virtually no input lag. The “limited brightness” is a non-issue and I often turn the brightness down. OTB color accuracy is great.
No evidence of burn in after 3,000 hours.
HDR performance is fine. I doesn’t get as bright and vibrant as other monitors, but it still looks amazing.
I’ll argue that LG over optimized this monitor, which should make it reliable for years to come.
Hey, I've been really considering buying my first OLED ultrawide, but my main concern is definitely burn-in. Seeing your comment made me feel quite relieved as you've used your monitor for 3,000 hours and haven't run into any burn-in troubles. May I ask what precautions you take to prevent burn-in? Things like a screensaver after x minutes of idle, certain wallpapers, etc.? Clearly what you're doing is working so I definitely want to follow the same precautions if I end up buying one for myself. Thanks!
3000 hours sound like a lot, but ultimately, depending on average numbers of hours of screentime per week, this may be as little as around 1 year of use.
Even though I am looking forward to a 5k2k newer gen version of this screen. Burn in does remain a concern to me.
My current primary display has about 15k hours of screentime, roughly 6 years old. My secondary displays, up to over 30k hours, up to roughly 15 years old.
Generally speaking, monitors are extremely durable and allow for repurposing quite well. Whether or not OLED will maintain this same sort of durability, remains to be seen.
Amazing colors!
I have two old mismatched 27 inch non HDR monitors, this looks absolutely amazing. I may have to pick one up.
Great video scorps! I just can't stop loving the editing, camera angles and the way you review. And the monitor is SICK! It's way more better and alive with the phlilps hue backlight! And as you said, OLED in INDEED beautiful! This is way better than the dual monitor you had previously! Loved the video!
Even with my MSI 342C OLED care for 10min every 4hrs. I'm not getting anything other than QD-OLED. But, I'm pissed - Paid $1000 a week ago, now only $850 🤬 Oh well,

Amazing video Scorp!💙
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it! 😄
I have the GQ900B 48" 16:9 and its amazing...I bet this is just as gorgeous!
I bought it recently and i Love this Monitor not just games Movies looking amazing on this monitor when you play games what you played over long term it looks like a new Game i can just recommend this for all!
bro what did you used for ambilight ? it looks so incredible
Nice monitor love your content❤
It's fantastic! Thank you so much for the kind comment!
Hello! Thank you for your review. Quick question - is that the BenQ Screenbar Halo you are using? How did you get it to stay on the LG 45? I heard it is not supported due to the 800R curve.
Sehr schön hab den LG38gl950g wird mein nächster gaming Monitor 😉
I've just built my dream PC and I'm now trying to choose which monitor set up I want to go with. Hoping to pick up some Black Friday Deals! Thanks for your insight and review! Keep it up!
How did you set up that back light on the monitor?? Its so good I want to do it too! I guess its with that armorycore or what its called thing but how do you connect it?? Plz do tutorial ❤
This looks great, may i know what wallpaper is used in this video I am trying to find for ages. This is a clean setup and the lighting is on point!
Sure, here's the wallpaper link for you on Wallpaper Engine: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2495306543
Just bought this same monitor at my job for $600 I'm loving it
Could you please provide me a download link for the Wallpaper on 2:22 with the astronaut?? Great video btw!
Also do you have any recommendations for speakers too?
That light bar needs a link!! Thats gorgeous
Hey Man, I wonder does out of the box colors on this screen is good enough to use or you have to calibrate or change any image settings?
do you stream with this. are you splitting apps to do so ?
I'd love to know what settings you were using!
Wow❤, the games look amazing!
Is the lighting behind your monitor thats matchint the screen from the monitor stand or a seperate led strip?
I just snatched one up for 900 bucks open box exceptional condition. Not regretting it at all
Which back LED system do you use at the back of your screen that adapts to the content of your screen?
Wich model ambient light you have? Looks wery nice
what do you use for the ambient light behind the monitor ?
Hello, I really love your wallpaper, could you please tell me where I can get it? I have the same monitor
hi! What ambilight system are you using? Does it limit your FPS? thanx!
Is the reeactive light from the back of the monitor from from philips hue?
what light have you put on top of the monitor???? I really wanna buy that light!
And one more thing I really want the IKEA godishus but my dad doesn’t really want me to get it and also how did you it says that you’re supposed to drill it to the wall but my dad says there needs to be like a balance, so how did you do it? Did you put some thing on the back of it?
Like it, it's essentially LG Dual ups with extra horizontal area. I actually wish for for 3LG dualups size by side with a single panel but not OLED.
Loved mine and partner it with g9 oled too
Sounds like you've got a pretty epic setup!
Good for productivity uses? Are the words or fonts sharp enough?
What are the reactive lights behind the monitor and where do i get them? :O
How would this be working with 2015 games for instance ?
And what decent VGA is recommended ?
Thx !
Nice video brudda!!! Not everyone has the money for 4k gaming!!!
I want one so much !
Should i stick with the oled g9 or change to this one lol they are both amazing!
What is that arrow desktop theme, great
I might buy this one
Bro the best tech
Why does your wall light up based on the monitor display? What product ??
What brand of led u use for back of monitor?
Does this have a matte finish on the screen - doesn't that reduce OLED impact?
Soooo how are you getting such amazing led light behind the monitor ???
Hello friend. Please tell me your settings for example MW3 how to get the best picture. Do you play with HDR?
which light bar do you recommend?
Hello. I got it today. The monitor is great, but the sound does not work through the monitor. Some idea?
hi what monitor light bar are u using?
Got this last week on BF sale for $999 which is a great deal. Primary use-case is iRacing. The curvature works really well with cockpit camera view as my eye point from racing seat to the monitor is 840mm which is near the center of the monitor radius. Really pleased with the immersion.
You had to get that membership tho right ? Theirs a Black Friday deal on it here where I live but you have to be a member in Best Buy
Why choose this over LG C3? It's 4K and anything above 120hz is barely noticable. Curvature is nice, but LG C3 seem to be much better. Especially considering its huge 45 inch display. 2K doesnt cut it.
@@timurklc4431 Its not "2K" which is a cinema spec that refers to 1080P, its 1440P which is mathmatiely 2.66K or you could call it 2.5K if you must use a stupid "K" term.
@@Battleneter Usually its just called 2K for simplicity. I'm pretty sure you understood what I meant as well as everyone else, otherwise you wouldnt have corrected me, no?
Either way, 1440P for this huge screen? Sucks. LG C3 all the way man
For sim racing the 21:9 or 32:9 is preferred ratio as an alternative to triple monitors. Not interested in any single 16:9 no matter the resolution. High frame and refresh rates are top priorities. For me this works well on balance without having to upgrade GPU and more to properly handle a 32:9 49” or larger.
can you do an comparsion between this and the samsung oddessy g9?
what are the best settings for pc gaming with this monitor? I just got mine.
If this display were 3840x1600, I would be sold. I'm currently using a 3840x1600 display, and I simply cannot go lower on the pixel density.
I may couldn’t follow or hear, but what is about console gaming? Would you also recommend it for PS5? Thank you
I want to like this monitor, I really do. However the curve to me is way to aggressive. The Xeneon Flex allows me to create the curve I want, just waiting for it to go back on sale.
In your video, when showing the windows desktop, your taskbar looks way more transparent than I have figured out how to make mine. Can you or anyone tell me how to do that?
I game/watch videos about 50% of the time and the other browsing the web/researching. From what I gather, this isn't the monitor for me then. I currently have a Dell 34" Ultrawide gaming monitor and it's been great. But this looks incredible for gaming. Maybe the pixel density/fuzziness around the text will be an issue?
Tell me about the backlight on the back of the monitor
What is that light bar you got???
Last two LG screens I bought (4ktv & 1440p gaming monitor) both have issues. 4ktv has a line down the middle of screen after only 6months & the 1440p monitor has stuck pixels. Don’t think I’ll risk buying another LG product again
Hello. What is the name of the screensaver with live wallpaper (archer girl)?
Hey Scorps, nice review again. If you are a real gamer I would really go for a very wide monitor would be this LG UltraGear. But I personally am more into tasks and school stuff so I like 2 monitors more.
But gaming on this monitor is magnificent!! ❤❤
2 monitors definitely has its benefits for multitasking, and it did take me quite some time to adjust to that. But thanks to the Picture in Picture mode you can also essentially use this as 2 monitors which is very cool!
But yeah, this is mainly built for gamers and it does an epic job! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
i really wish there were more 45" ultrawides. the standard issue 34" is lacking in height imho. this monitor with 144Hz for 800€ would be an instant buy for me
In the USA, I just checked their website, and it's showing up for $1200. The only concern I have is burn in, but specifically because viewing 16X9 content over time, and would it produce noticeable burn in, compared to the black borders.
Sick🤘🏾, awesom review thank you….new subscriber here, glad to be aboard your channel….
I just picked up his monitor... unfortunately 3rd one in last 3 days as the other 2 were faulty in the 1st 24 hrs. It's an absolute beaut on my I9, 4070Ti!! I got it at Best Buy for $1k since I'm a Total tech member!! I love this monitor
Oh wow, that's incredibly unlucky. What were the issues? I thankfully didn't experience any on my end! Glad you're enjoying it though, it's stunning!
First monitor had a line going through the middle of it. Second monitor worked for about 8 hrs and then just flickered on and off. 3rd monitor worked 2 nights ago. Hopefully it will work tonight when I try again! Fingers crossed
@@cali_vibez21 Fingers crossed for you! I hope you enjoy the monitor as much as I am.
I’m trying to decide between this and the Samsung g9 oled, I also have a 4070ti
@@Thedon-xs7ix it’s definitely going to come down to personal preference and money. The G9 has a higher res and bigger screen. I saw both in person and I like the larger curve on the LG. Didn’t really need a 45”, but for the price I couldn’t decline.
What kind of backlight did you use? looked great!
Philips HUE! I'm using the 1x Gradient Strip, 2x Play Bars and a Hue Bridge. You can see a bit more about how I've got it set-up here: ua-cam.com/video/EA0YC9m6D4s/v-deo.html
@@ScorpioTech Thank you!
I just bought one on best buy, after going through the membership program 1000 + 50! , totally worth it at that price. Colors set on vivid, use dark theme to avoid the white rebalancing - the text is not great and the white rebalancing when using lots of white space is annoying, and so yes I have a second monitor for heavy text work if that is your job, in my case I use much smaller IPS wide screen right below it, a bit of work in setting up. But otherwise awesome if you want gaming / movies in amazing color and immersion !
What kind of monitor you used for text work?
@@feli4553 its actually a great gaming monitor too, just not oled so better text and slightly smaller LG UltraGear QHD 34-Inch Curved Gaming Monitor 34GP83A-B,

What lights does he have behind the monitor?
Awesome monitor,Pixel density is kind of low but you don’t see it while gaming only using it for productivity.I bought mine for $1299 on sale at Best Buy.
Yeah, I honestly love it. Agreed regarding the pixel density, after I got used to it I found that the benefits of the monitor far outweighed the negatives. But I can also understand that it would be a deal breaker for some people.
@@ScorpioTech I bought it solely for gaming,I’m actually going to buy one more to put on my sim racing rig.Nothing in your peripheral vision except screen.
did you buy a light bar for it? If so, recommend please. Best settings?

@@ScorpioTech
Yup, thanks a lot!
came for the monitor, stayed for the car
Haha, awesome! What's your fav car?
it's been a moment i watch this monitor and the only reason i didn't buy it yet is that pixel density. I'm on a 32" curved in 1440p since years now and i'm really satisfied with the pixel density and i wouldn't like to have under this :/ Btw i'd go immediately for a 38/40" in 3840x1600 !
i have 32:9 from years but i think the perfection on that format like my 49" it's 5120x1600p for having more around 10/15cm on height.. dunno why can't having that 1600p res.. 😒
The pixel density is a instant deal breaker for me. I need a 38 inch QD-OLED!
Completely understand, I also suggested in the video that 38" would have helped massively with the pixel density issues that you're going to get with a 45" 3440x1440p.
It would be best if you wrote your settings here for me, it would be really nice of you, schörge contrast, etc., thank you very much
Just got this monitor, but cant get the back LED lights on. I downloaded the LG UltraGear control center, but it isnt recognizing the monitor and just tells me "Please connect supported monitor"
Whit gsync on , display flickering?
Please what it’s the dsc on this monitor
I love LG's quality. My 29" IPS Wide Screen 1080p has lasted 10 years now, but I'll wait for ASUS's 4k 240Hz OLED PG32UCDM.
Completely agree, the PG32UCDM is shaping up to be a fantastic monitor! Lovely specs.
Don't wait by it now it's on discount
Is there any monitor big like this (lower than 55") and that is NOT ultrawide with 1440p? I can't find it ;(
Nice TV
