LG Ultragear 45GX950A 45" Curved

Overview

The LG 45GX950A is an excellent gaming monitor that significantly improves the 45-inch OLED ultrawide product segment with a new, higher resolution panel. The pixel density on previous 45-inch models was so disappointing that we just couldn't recommend them, but this new 5K2K version is fantastic. It provides better levels of detail in games and far better text clarity for desktop work.

The brightest OLED I've ever tested

Reviewers Didn't Like

Design isn't bad, but not up to the price tag
Only 2-year warranty
800R curve isn't for everyone
330Hz requires a major resolution sacrifice

The LG UltraGear 5K2K OLED is big, bold, and unashamed, and for a select number of large-format users, there's nothing better.

The LG 45 Ultragear OLED (45GX950A-B) is a beast of a monitor, and a must-have for gamers looking for an ultrawide panel to pair with a powerful GPU.

The LG Ultragear 45GX950A-B’s high price and extreme curve will turn off some, but it’s hard to argue with its sharpness and HDR performance.

If you’re a fan of ultrawide displays, the LG 45GX950A is the best gaming monitor currently available thanks to its 5K2K resolution and OLED panel with instantaneous pixel response time speed, infinite contrast ratio, wide color gamut and strong brightness performance.

The World’s first 5K2K resolution ultrawide OLED gaming monitor is here! This screen has received our “recommended” award.

Hands on: I’ve been on the fence about getting a curved gaming monitor of my own for a while. And though I’m not yet ready to ditch my beloved dual-screen setup yet, testing the LG UltraGear 45GX950A-B is making it harder to maintain my status quo. Don’t be surprised if I do a follow-up article after I purchase such a monitor for myself.
