its not the first dude..
This monitor and the xeneon flex were the first released 240hz OLED monitors, the samsung odyssey g9 oled is the 2nd one that came out later.@@KTamas27
Have it. The pixel issue being visible on text fonts is bearable. Not sure why that's one of the most complained about issues. Gaming is beautiful and immersive. Had some flickering issues but after researching I disabled Adaptive-Sync in the monitor and it's been fine since with my 3090.
Thanks bro, I was worried about the pixel issue, but now I'm buying it for gaming,
Love how that's what people focus on, like it's a oled curved monitor specific to gaming and maybe a few other niche use cases, sorry if your fucking Comic Sans doesn't look perfect lmao.
@@christianmino3753 I completely understand why. The monitor is near perfect but people need to find things to criticize. I get it, but it's not as bad as they're making it out to be.
I literally felt the pain in my whole body when he put the monitor on the table only touching at the outer edges.
You Goddamn right
I own this monitor and it is absolutely amazing. Little expensive, but I doubt I'll have to upgrade for a VERY long time.
To bad the res is pretty low and the ppi isn't high cuz of it
@@xpodx I just got this monitor and it looks pretty good to me. I guess it depends on what you're upgrading from... that will drastically change what perspective you're looking at this monitor from. Before this monitor I was running a dual monitor set up with an OMEN 27i 1440p monitor and an ASUS 1080p TN panel on the side.
@@justinp9170 I mean, look 10" away, see how big the pixels are
@@justinp9170 a 1080p 24" has higher ppi than this monitor.
@@xpodx4,7% higher ppi wont change anything lol, git gud scrub
I just purchased this Ultrawide LG - UltraGear. LET ME TELL YOU. Plug it in, plug it in. Literally, plug it in, turn it on and let the curve take you away. This is big, takes up a lot of desk space but if you can make it fit, MAN this thing WORKS and feels AMAZING. 10/10
Thanks man, that's the impression I was after.
few h ago bought it and i love it :)
1) This is not the world's first 240 Hz OLED screen.
2) It has a button to be controlled without the remote.
3) The monitor's heatsink contains a very loud fan which will instantly become the loudest part of any silent build. The sound isn't a Noctua sound either, it's high pitched whirring.
I have this monitor and I don't ear any noise from the fan. I don't even know that there is a fan.
@@Shinetop You don't have a silent build. Put your ear to the back of the screen and turn on/off the display.
@@jaso7997 The fan is fully encased and is louder than a 140mm Noctua fan running at 50% speed. Perceived noise is relative to your surroundings. You cannot perceive the sound of a jackhammer smashing asphalt if you use it on an airport runway.
Your other statements are false.
I own this monitor, and I have no idea what you're talking about.
@@ThisIsMeArnoldthat sounds like a personal problem. Sorry I don’t live in a house with absolute silence all the time. I have a PC that’s is silent when I not playing games. If you have to put your ear next to your monitor to hear the fan while having a dead silent PC, it’s not a very loud fan.
Man PCMR want to be audiophiles when it comes to fan noise but won’t spend money on quality headphones…jeeez
i am still happy with my AW3423DWF QD-OLED.
You really just smacking that thing around.
I’ve had this monitor since it came out and absolutely love it . For games and media consumption it’s awesome . But the low PPI makes using it for work like word processing, spreadsheets and coding not as awesome, is usable for light work and I have had no issues with web browsing . I have a second monitor for work like that so for my use it’s great. I have had zero burn In issues yet but I am hyper aware of it so try to be mindful to move static stuff around every week or so. The only con for me is the audio reverb from the screen lol it’s not terrible but it catches me off guard sometimes. Thanks for the video
I want to get this but im scared to invest so much into it. I primarily use my rtx 3060 laptop to game in 2560x1440p. Ive played AC6 in 3440x 1440 and the perfomance drop was noticeable. So have you tried playing on 1440p? Was it off putting ? Also how does 1080p look on it? TH-cam 1080p sux on my 1440p at times
I agree with you, it is good for gaming but work is kind of weird. I’ve created a good flow by using the 4 quadrants Windows let me put different windows in.
@@AMX0013 unfortunately I can’t answer that I’m using a 4080 to drive this monitor and it doesn’t break a sweat. I would say if you’re really interested in it you can always buy it from Best Buy and play your games on it. If your 3060 can’t handle it you will alway have the option for easy return/exchange for a different one . I was on the fence too until I got it and used it . I had both my old and new hooked up and played a few hours on each to get a real feel for how much better or worse they were to each other. It was amazing how great it was for gaming and movies/ TH-cam . My old monitor has a great picture too but the OLED was so much better. I would suggest the warranty from BB just to have price of mind on burn in, you can actually use it , enjoy it and not have to worry as much
@michaelrousseau4373 thank you
Whit gsync display flickering?
Forbidden West looks amazing on this monitor. I definitely feel immersed, it’s crazy good.
Thanks for the explanations that helped me understand the differences between different technologies of monitor
Plus LG's website constantly updates the dates on all the downloads instead if just leaving the original date they were released. Talk about a headache. U need to know what version of this and that instead of just going off the dates they were released.
I hope everything is okay. Missing my Brettfast this morning.
Really nice overview! Unfortunately you absolutely didn say a word about the ppi.
Compensated (he notes at the end). No hate, just noticed. Luckily, I've heard if you sit about 30" away, the PPI isn't the end of the world.
1440p is kinda low for a screen that size. Would rather have a 4k 120Hz Oled at the same price.
1440p for 45 inch is pretty horrible.
I have both a 45in Corsair Xenon Flex OLED and a 48in 4K OLED LG C1 and honestly they're both pretty excellent obviously the 48-in 4K is crisper But the 45-in 1440p ultra wide doesn't look that bad especially in games The only thing that looks terrible is text so all your desktop icons and text online look pretty terrible.
Text in game though is not bad generally because they use such chunky lettering in games but if they used really really small letters I'm sure that too would look bad too. But when you're just playing the game both options provide some super immersive gameplay.
@@XxViciousxX That's what I thought. If you're paying $1k for a monitor then it better have everything including 4k.
Meh it's not suppose to be 4k. That would be a disadvantage. The target market is high fps 1st person gamers. 240fps and wide screen is useless in rpgs and turn based and adventure games. The gamers who want wife screen also want 240hz. No one in that market cares for 4k for COD.
I just switched from this to a 42in Lg c3 and I love it. It not having a glossy screen and the resolution it did not look as good as the c3.
1600 resolution please!
Glad we got some bret coverage for the weekend baby!!
There is no heatsink on the monitor only a fan thats noisy. With 95ppi its terrible to read any text on the display. I returned it.
Can anyone tell if the use of productivty is really bad? Will I be able to have multiple tabs open across the screen? This was my main purpose and I didn't do much home work lol
Awesome monitor!
Good job avoiding talk of its biggest weakness!
Pixel density?
do a video where you compare this monitor and the odyssey neo g95nc 57"
Tried the 27” ultra gear 240hz oled and I loved it except the HDR autodim made everything else too dark. I didn’t want to buy a service tech remote and possibly lose my warranty for a $999 monitor just to get extra brightness. If LG lets us regular users turn off autodim and I’ll definitely buy one and keep it
What’s is a service tech remote for?
wowzers! even the resolution is exactly what we need, and not some 4K bullshit, that you can use in "CS only"
I’ve been using it for a while, gaming it’s perfect, but! Reading google docs/sheets etc, it’s not great at all. So in short. If you need a work monitor, go with another monitor. For gaming, really good monitor. The resolution is low, but just sit a bit further away and you’re good.
And get a lap desk for the keyboard & mouse.
Honestly though. How often are you adjusting your monitor settings after set up?
Many times. Looking into multiple documents and videos explaining every single setting 😂
decent monitor issue I had with it the brightness now the odyssey neo g9 gets very bright especially in hdr but that lg does do everything else right if you don't mind a not so bright screen its a hard sale at its asking price the lg monitor with 4k qd oled 240hz coming next year
HDR is not brighter so you're just making stuff up....
@@drunkhusband6257 on the odyssey g9 57'' monitor it does get brighter than the oled 45 feature in this video full screen hdr brightness I am not making this up I had this monitor
People need to stop about the matte screen. If you haven’t seen it in person especially for gaming than stop. I came from an LG C2 42 oled and this is a much better gaming experience hands down. Also, getting a service remote for $7 bucks on Amazon greatly improves brightnes.
Funny it was just the opposite for me. Ive been using the 42" C2 as my monitor for the last year, I picked up this 45" ultrawide a few weeks ago, and ended up returning it to go back to my 42" C2. I'd agree that the ultrawide was better than the C2 for purely gaming, but when it comes to anything else that isnt gaming, I think the C2 is better. The low PPI, while not an issue during gaming, was quite noticeable in all other aspects of use. Some people notice it more than others but the blurry text in windows and being able to actually see the the pixels in some instances was the deal breaker for me.
I agree with you but I use dual monitors and never really used my oleds to do anything but gaming. I have an Asus XG349c that handles everything else.@@cryptocray4184
have it and love it. if anyone gets it and there are lines down the screen do a pixel cleaning. i thought i had a bad monitor when i hooked it up lol
i'm watching this video from this monitor (PS: just go the point in the video where you said that it doesn't have a control button on the monitor, it does have one its just hard to feel for. It's right in the middle of the monitor on the bottom.)
I'm waiting on today's video. What happened??? 😢 you're my first video of the day I need my news!
I almost did buy this one on black friday. Price was 1300€, but a store didn't accept so much cash.
Was waiting for an elbow slam at 0:35
I kinda understand Brett-taking instead of Breathtaking 0:20 😂
Great Video man!
i don't need a monitor but im droooooooling over this one
Can you turn off that trash beeping noise while in the settings? I have this monitor and that’s probably the most annoying feature of this screen.
HOLY There is no way people buy this thing with this resolution and game on it.
But what else are you gonna do on it? Work for 8 hours on an OLED? With 83 PPI?
Who is this for?
Sorry but 1440p on a monitor that large is a no go for me.
Amazing monitor, but I'll wait for it to have a higher resolution. 1440p doesn't feel enough for such a large 45 inch monitor. Gonna stick with my 34 inch.
Was going to skip through the video, but i restarted it, cause i got curious to see what he was going to yap about
I would be willing to pay money for a flat 27 inch version of this monitor.
BestBuy. 27" same resolution, same refresh/g2g, flat, is marked down to $882.
How tf do you fullscreen this monitor???? I am losing 2" on the top and bottom of the screen unless I change the resolution on my pc to 3840x2160 which is the incorrect resolution for this monitor
Buying this monitor next week
The 800r curve is too aggressive, it doesn't look no more wider than a 16:9 screen.
I chose the 42 inch lg c3 oled so I can get that 4k at 120hz. This panel looks amazing it was a hard choice but I need that 4k
Yeah.. This thing has only 83 PPI(pixel density).. Thats really bad for anything else than Games.. and even there it must be sub par.
There is a reason he didnt mention the Resolution at least ONCE in this sponsored video. Its sadly just 3440 x 1440.
120hz... ew
At that size, the resolution feels too low. I have the 48GQ900-B on an arm on my desk 2ish feet way. Much prefer the higher resolution.
What happenened to today's Brettfast? I'm having withdrawal symptoms... I need my fix... help!
screen size is great .but dont know tho if im ok with a 800r or i need a 1200r one. only experienced 1800r diplayed in the mall and its not that curved
I agree! The 800r curve is too aggressive, it doesn't look no more wider than a 16:9 screen. Hopefully the new 5120x2160 240Hz panels by LG will have a 1800R curve!
Seems low pixel count for the size :(
Hands down best investment I have made to my gaming pc. Also PS5 looks amazing on it as it fills the whole screen.
It fills the screen but by stretching, correct? Didnt buy this because Xbox and PS5 only support 16:9 ratio.
@@kingjamokrates2560 Yes it stretches the picture but does it very well.
Wait didn't this come out a while back? Cause I've owned this for almost 2-3 months now.. XD
But for anyone looking to get it.. it is 100% worth the money this monitor is absolutely amazing
Yes it came out about 1 year ago but it is Christmas and Chanukah time so LG is trying to remind folks about the monitor to drive some sales.
LG DISAPPOINTED ME THE C4 IS ONLY 144HZ NOT 4K 240 come on lg bring is the goods
I paused the video after witnessing the horrific moment on 0:27, came to comment on here and then switched off my phone for the rest of the day.
Awesome monitor...I mean, really awesome....but who can afford this? Seems like a pointless review to an audience that will only be able to dream about this monitor. I love watching you guys and not trying to make it negative (which I know, sounds pretty negative) but I would've just love to have seen something that 95% of us could afford. Or even 50%.
Who can afford this? People with jobs and been working for quite a while 😂
@MrGts92 I work an amazing job. For over a decade. Make great money with a very happy life. So you are lying to yourself if you think most people can afford this. So sadly most people are laughing at you for thinking this.
@@bakedinca256 so you don't have a house or flat or a car or seasonal train ticket and never been on a holiday despite making "great money" at " an amazing* job".... They always make "great money" when talking about themselves on the internet don't they?🤣
@MrGts92 hahahaha ohh yeah you're right, you got me. I forgot, that's why 90 percent of us have 4090. Sorry didn't realize I was the stupid one.
@@bakedinca256 not exactly rocket science is it? If you supposedly have an amazing job with great money, it's clear you can afford it. If you prioritise not to and spend your money on something else, that's allocating funds not affordability. However that's not to be confused with the idea that you can buy everything you desire continuously in an instant.
Honestly, I'm buying a smaller, 34 inch OLED over this JUST because it has a built in KVM switch. Having PIP and PBP is useless if you aren't going to throw that in.
don’t be scared about oled burn and the lower ppi, just game on this and you’ll know
0:52 dude don't put the screen like that. it can be break!
Is this the first 0.03ms display? Did someone make a 4k with 0.03ms?
This monitor is currently the fastest response time monitor ever made
Mate are realy assemble this monitor according to it's user manual :)? Don't think so
Is it the desk that is wobbling around like that or is the monitor stand a bit sh!t,……..or both?
If it wouldnt be 1800R I would buy it right now!
It's 800r, that's even worse
3440 x1440 is to low resolution for 45" screen.
I dig my g9 49". Cool monitor though.
it has a matte screen doesn't it? quite a waste of an OLED if i'm being honest here, this OLED is already DIMM enough on SDR content (200 cd/m²) and a matte coating doesn't make it any good for use on daytime unless your room has curtains, plus it makes things look hazy, LG could have taken notes from alienware.
did some 1 noticed on the right side top lg loggo only when is dark ? how do i turn off
Old is the problem, 150 nit 100% white and under 500 nits peaks.. give me a mini led VA version and I'd be happy
New update just dropped for the OSC. I installed it and restarted my pc. I hooked the USB cable up from pc to monitor and went into settings. I clicked "Run" and it says current version is latest software. I proceeded to click "File Open," and went to the file where i had put both the compressed file that downloaded from LG's website and the extracted files. However the only file showing up when i click "File Open," it only shows the compressed file. Very confused and frustrated.
Then select the zip file. I'm pretty sure I remember having to use the zipped file for a firmware and/or driver update at one point at least.
I don't know why, but this monitor is 300-350 bux more expensive on their own website than on any other store locally. What gives?
everything perfect, but poor resolution, 166 PPI only. 😞 Even my very old IIyama 25,5" 16:10 FHD has a higher resolution with 188 PPI
So LG paid you for the review of their monitor...
Thanks for the info...😏
A shame this would probably be horrific for productivity/spreadsheets.
if it only had a higher resolution I would have bought it.
Such cringe when he takes the panel out of the packaging and sets it down on the desk like it's flat. They usually come in a curved foam piece that you set on the desk, tear the bag to expose the stand mount, put the mount on, set monitor on desk and remove bag.
way too big for 3440x1440 imo. 84 ppi at $1700....
The resolution still too low for this beasts size and the text looks like crap. You have to use only for gaming.
so early for one of your vids, gg
He considered 90 minutes session long 💀
if you got the $$$$ it's worth getting 45" oled gaming monitor for gaming, movies, youtube, browsing the internet it's very good investment for your entertainment worth the price and oled is so good playing games, mmo rpg's and watching movies.
That EV part for sure triggered some carbon and oil lovers lol.
Great monitor, I don't like it curved because I am poor and will possibly have one monitor to work, game, view tv and so on, so plugged to several devices not all allowing me to be in front, BUT I like this concept and size for an immersive game experience.
You Sir, you are doing great.
0:29 DUDE WTF
They made it 3440x1440 instead of 3840x1600.. Idiots, this could be a HIT but they ruined it with too low resolution.
Why do 21:9 monitors always have this low resolution. There are tons of 4k 32 inch monitors, but as soon as you want a 21:9 ratio it is still impossible to get a single monitor that provides a comparable pixel density, at least if you want something with more than 75 hz. Always this sh.... 3440x1440, no matter how giant the monitor is....since years it is always the same resolution
Because 5120x2160 ultrawide is extremely hard to run....
@@drunkhusband6257 Most GPU's would burn out trying to support that pixel ratio.
AW3821DW 3840X1600
lol... there is only ONE way you are not supposed to lay down a curved display... and you did it.
Get the Samsung one
0:18 When your roof looks like this, and your worried about your monitor.
Wasn't Samsung first with a 240 Oled? this didnt come out till december the G9 oled came out before this. Also nah fuck EV man.
Nah, bruh, i'd just buy a 42-inch C3, for probably half the price of this.
Only goes up to 120hz, and isn't ultrawide
how do u call a subpar monitor like this ultimate lol.
It's the largest ultrawide monitor every made, it's OLED, 240hz, and has the lowest response time of any monitor ever made...
Thas is a very shallow review.
Its more like "Im a noob and don't know nothing about anything in tech. Let me have a look at $1500 monitor and see if I like it. Oh I like it in one game. Amazing product".
3440x1440 is to smal resolution for 45"" monitor, dpi will wery smal,the picture will be not cristal an sharp if u used on the desk and stay font it on 70-80 santimeters
Not 4K, I'm out
4k is beyond overrated
I would not buy a WOLED (what LG uses in their gaming monitors) display at this time as the new second generation of 'QD-OLED' will come out in January-February 2024.
QD-OLED is the way to go even if they would have a slightly shorter lifespan over WOLED. The difference in that is so little that it wouldn't really matter. And for the love of god avoid matte displays. They make the contrast, brightness and clarity worser over the glossy displays.
He has no idea what he is talking about as always
Can I get a ps5 my birthday is today pls
Wobble much?
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
damn I’m early
first
So in your professional opinion, what body part/bodily fluid would be an acceptable sacrifice to be able to afford this
