What many users won’t find ideal, however, is the subpar pixel density of 83.8 PPI (pixels per inch), which is similar to that of 27″ 1920×1080 monitors. Although that’s true on paper, I wouldn’t recommend the UltraGear OLED 45 for these types of games. With the 21:9 aspect ratio, massive size, and steep curve, playing a competitive title always felt wrong. There was always too much screen to take in everything at once, regardless of how great the motion clarity really is. Jacob Roach / Digital Trends

Further, variable refresh rate is supported via FreeSync Premium and HDMI 2.1 VRR, and while the monitor’s not officially certified by NVIDIA (at least not yet) as ‘G-SYNC Compatible’, VRR works without issues with supported GeForce GPUs (10-series or newer) for tear-free gameplay up to 240FPS. There are also two exciting HDR monitors announced for 2023, the new Neo G9 with a 57″ 7680×2160 240Hz VA panel and the Odyssey OLED G9 with a 49″ 5120×1440 240Hz QD-OLED panel. ConclusionIt’s tough recommending it for general desktop or work use due to the massive size and OLED panel, and although the size would normally make a good option for movies, the aggressive curve and specific viewing distance can kill the mood. There are also some issues with pixel density, with an ultrawide like the Alienware 34 QD-OLED offering much better clarity despite sporting the same resolution.

LG UltraGear 45GR95QE review: a giant OLED ultrawide - T3

The pixels transition rapidly regardless of the refresh rate, so there’s no need for different overdrive settings. We tested the monitor with titles including Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2, which are able to make full use of the width of this monitor – and there's no debate that they look superb. The only department where the monitor falls down slightly is its maximum brightness, as is often the case for OLED: it barely detracts from the visuals at all, especially with HDR (high dynamic range) content, but you will find brighter screens out there. mode is supported on the PS5 with HDR and VRR, while the Xbox consoles support 1440p 120Hz with VRR or 4K 60Hz HDR with VRR. Price & Similar Monitors It’s hard to overstate just how big the UltraGear OLED 45 really is. It’s a 44.5-inch monitor with a 21:9 aspect ratio, but its footprint is multiplied due to the steep 800R curve. Even compared to a display like the Asus ROG PG42UQ, the UltraGear OLED 45 feels massive.This isn’t the Samsung Ark, where you can rotate the display fully vertical. Instead, you’re given a restrictive range of 20 degrees of swivel and tilt for minor adjustments, though thankfully, there’s a generous 4.3 inches of height adjustment. Jacob Roach / Digital Trends Using LG’s Dual Controller software, you can connect two PCs to the screen and control them via one set of keyboard and mouse, but both machines need to be connected to the same network and have the software installed. It’s not the same as other OLEDs I’ve reviewed, though. Similar to LG’s 27-inch model and Asus’ OLED rival, this monitor comes with a 240Hz refresh rate. And due to using an OLED panel, it has very low response times. That leads to exceptional motion clarity, which is great if you play competitive games like Overwatch 2and Valorant. In addition to being LG’s first 45-inch curved OLED gaming monitor with a 21:9 aspect ratio and WQHD (3440 x 1440) resolution, the 45GR95QE is also the company’s first-ever display to combine a 45-inch screen-size with an 800R curvature; a pairing that helps boost users’ sense of immersion. A genuine gaming powerhouse, the 45GR95QE will be displayed at IFA 2022 along with LG’s impressive 48GQ900 UltraGear OLED gaming monitor.

The Xeneon Flex also has a few downsides. Its design doesn’t support VESA mounting and it’s not adjustable (tilt-only). The stand is not removable as the connectivity ports are placed there. However, Corsair should be releasing a mounting accessory in Q1 2023. Besides the standard image settings (brightness, contrast, color temperature, etc.), the LG 45GR95QE also offers 6-axis hue/saturation, color temperature fine-tuning in 500K increments, sharpness, four gamma presets, aspect ratio control, Auto Input Switch and Picture in Picture/Picture by Picture support.

Overall, the LG 45GR95QE offers an amazing gaming experience thanks to its VRR support, high 240Hz refresh rate and instantaneous pixel response time speed, while the large 45″ ultrawide screen with decent brightness, infinite contrast ratio and gorgeous colors provides a stunning HDR image quality. Moving on, the LG 45GR95QE monitor has gorgeous colors thanks to its wide 98.5% DCI-P3 gamut coverage (~135% sRGB relative size). There’s also an sRGB emulation mode, in case you prefer more accurate and natural colors for SDR content.
