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 Ай бұрын

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.

Great review :) Have you tried to set the games on windowed borderless and set the settings tp 3440x1440 on them to see if you will get a better or worse fps on them at the same game resolution? would'nt that be a better comparison because the GPU is having a harder time when you use the higher resolution I have the G9 57" myself, and most of the time im running the games in 5120x2160 because the full widht is to extreme for one game, so I use it to have steam and other programs open in the sides.

I really appreciate you mathing the screen size there for us. I think this might be the perfect sized monitor for gaming. Samsung ones do seem great but, their aspect ratio kills it for me. And the 57 inch isn't even in oled. Great video by the way. I might actually get this if it drops in my country.

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).

I have a 49" 32:9 and I do this weird thing where I distance my monitor to the point where I can see the entire image without having to move my head, but instead just move my eyeballs, so when I rotate my eyeballs I can see the far sides of the image without using my neck. I still wouldn't mind a bit more vertical real estate, though. But in the video, there's a point made that with the 45" you don't have to move your head to see the sides of the image, but in the comparison image, the 45" is only slightly narrower than the 49". Regardless, I can't wait for the 2160p version of the 45". That'll be an amazing monitor.

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__ 23 күн бұрын

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).

@Tea_Leaves741 Ай бұрын

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.

On the side I do a lot of video and sound editing. After watching several of your reviews, I'm really quite sold on this monitor... unless you recommend something different. Thanks!

Thanks for watching and commenting man! From what you've written, you don't mention gaming once - so I'd recommend looking for one with a higher resolution. If you're editing then you'll be able to fit more on the screen too. I just got the Dell 40" Ultrawide which is smaller but has a much higher resolution, at 120hz, with a full dock in the back. Perhaps that's a good option for you?

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 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 Ай бұрын

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.

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.

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.

Great video. I love the size, 45". I just wish it had just a little less curve and a little more resolution.

But we all buy an all purpose monitor, besides gaming, I think majority of gamers are using them also for everyday usage.

Bought this monitor and the colors and brightness are really strange. The reds in the certified VESA are like a brownish-orange. The peak brightness is meh and of course the infamous blurry text is there but not as terrible as some make it out to be. I'll be returning this monitor. A bit disappointing tbh.

@Tbagnbdn Ай бұрын

And still 3440x1440 instead of 3840x1600.. Meh. If they make this same monitor and size using 3840x1600 resolution I will buy it immediately. Until then I'm rocking with G9 Oled and LG C3 OLED.

It looks fine actually, I thought it might be an issue at first with the 1st version of this monitor but It's honestly still really sharp, I'm guessing because OLED pixels are different from LED ones.

I wish it was higher resolution than just 3440x1440... Havin 0.30mm pixel pitch is a downside for sure and to "loose" sight of individual pixels/grid overall one will have to push monitor backwards away from where the eye sight is positioned.

@supremeboy Ай бұрын

Yup. I looked up its only 84 PPI. For that price its horrible. My G9 49 has bit over 100 i would still prefer that even if its narrow but wide. There in no way i would buy 1k+ price OLED monitor that has less than 100 PPI

@Spinelli__ 23 күн бұрын

Not true at all. I use this monitor probably closer than anyone at only about 21" from my eyeballs, it looks absolutely incredible especially when combined with Nvidia DLDSR which completely cleans up the fairly low PPI look (like aliasing, shimmering, etc.) and gives the image such a clean, sharp look as if you had old school full-screen supersampling AA applied to the entire image or something.

@@pmx360 Na, super ultrawide (ie.32:9) especially at just 49" is...meh. It's just an extra wide version of a tiny 27" monitor. A simracer's dream is a wide hFOV VR headset (eg. Pimax 8K X) or triple-screens. 90% of my gaming is simracing and has been for the past 20+ years and, trust me, going from racing on triple 27" 3D monitors for 9 years (2014-2023) to racing on my single 45" 21:9 240 Hz LG is a humongous difference (but I have a wide hFOV Pimax VR headset so it's OK). For all other games though, and movies/videos, the 45" 21:9 LG blows everything out of the water. It's the best overall gaming/movie/video monitor on the market. If you ONLY simrace though, then the 57" 32:9 Samsung is better but the 45" 21:9 LG is better for overall gaming / a mix of different game-types (including simracing), not to mention videos and movies.

@@Spinelli__ i had and lg c1 48” in my sim rig then i purchased the samsung 49” oled and broke after few hours, then i purchased the lg c3 42” to make it triple screen but sadly wont fit in my office. I was thinking about the samsung 59” but is not oled and samsung monitors are very unreliable lately. The Lg45” oled is too low in resolution for my taste, thats why in waiting for the 4k version.

Yeah the PPI is definitely a miss. G8 is another good option but as you’ve mentioned has its own drawbacks. Just depends on what you’re using it for! Both great monitors

@npaul5962 Ай бұрын

I bought this monitor, and the PPI was the least of my problems. It only matters if you’re not gaming. If you’re not gaming the vast of majority of the time, a normal sized monitor is for you. These are not productivity screens at all. The curve and PPI should scare off most of those users. I use it for work anyway because of the sheer workspace size. I have 42in 4K and 50in 4k screens to compare to and the PPI on those are not ideal either. But they’re great for console gaming. This 45in looks sharp enough in games and the immersion is second to none.
