Really liked this review. I can understand people not liking the PPI but most comments I see complaining about that are productivity users. I want this only for gaming and media consumption and this review sealed the deal
Idk if you bought it already or not. But im a university student that games during the night and I have multiple Windows open during my productivity hours. Never had an issue. Can recommend.
More pixels is king. 4K is the sweat spot going back to 1440P is a mess no matter the distance between the screen xD. 1440p is glorified 1080 trash resolutions.
I like mine, but its not as good as my 42" C2. My C2 is brighter, despite claims the QE uses MLA (which I'm not so sure it does). The QE just doesnt get very bright at all, and this is borne out by many reviews, which have its peak brightness around 650-700 nits. My C2 gets close to 800 nits. Another issue, the QE doesnt have HGiG resulting in inaccurate HDR performance. It seems the QE always uses some form of dynamic tone mapping. I also dont like the matte screen, it reduces perceived contrast. Yes, I get they went with matte due to the 800R curve, but glossy finishes on OLED are just better. Lastly, the resolution. I understand the choice behind 3440-1440p, because if you went with 4K, youd prb never take advantage of the 240hz. That said, when comparing side by side, my 42" C2 is just so much sharper. In isolation, this isnt so much of an issue, but if you also use a 4K screen to game in from time to time, you'll find yourself scoffing at the QE's lack of clarity.
Just a fair warning, my neo g8 has a built in crosshair. It would be really nice .. if it was like a bright green dot or something I could customize. Instead it's these really fugly, bulky crosshairs that are worthless
People who say it should be more than 1440p are clueless. This monitor is perfect for gaming, and not as bad as you would think for productivity. With a 4090, you can run everything in ultra settings and get 120hz + in every game.
@@BroderickNorthmoor It has better text clarity then what I came from a 40” 4k. If you haven’t tried or experienced this monitor somewhere then I would suggest u do. I bought the 39” version because I was afraid of the ppi and it was really good, returned it and bought the 45” for $909 on sale. I definitely wouldn’t recommend it for 100% productivity as with ANY gaming monitor.
@@squirrelsinjacket1804 The problem with that is, it’s going to be waaaaay more than $900, and most importantly to me at least, what will you use to drive it??? I run a 4090 now and I’m no where near hitting 240 fps maxed out settings even with DLSS on AAA titles. A 5090 would not even max a 3440x1440 in ultra settings.

Came here for the monitor review and noticed you seem to have the same MSI desktop as I do at least visually. Apart from the helpful review itself this actually had the added benefit of giving me a visual idea of what this could look like on my desk :).
after a long time thinking about whether I should get the LG 45GR95QE or the samsung oled g8, but I pre-ordered the 45GR95QE today because of your videos. I'm so excited for the monitor
@@Rem0n89 I kept the LG 45! i love it and the size is just perfect for movies and games i was also afraid that the resolution would not be enough for me but it is so big that you automatically sit further away and it is perfectly okay
@@Exbelior I do have the odyssey G8 OLED and I like how QD-OLED is, but I want something bigger because I normally used to a 38 inch, but they don’t sell that in an OLED. My only concern is the resolution and the size of the monitor because you got a 1080p PPI screen with that size and resolution, but I am glad for you that you are happy with it.
@@scar-76 The monitor is great, the size is perfect, the resolution is good enough, I only had a few problems with dead subpixels, but because the LG support is so super nice, that's no problem either
I have this for sim racing up close, like 60cm from the screen. At 80Cm, the radius, sure text shows pixels, but for gaming its AMAZING. and at 60cm, like i used it, SIm Racing games look amazing and the pixels are not an issue. Plus, with this resolution, you dont need a 4090. My 4080 absolutely slays it.
Great update, dude! Did you ever get round to visually comparing this monitor to your Lg C2 in lowlight/no light conditions? I.e. I know the matte coating let's it down in daytime/light rooms, but in the dark are the blacks as black and the colours as vibrant as the C2? Thanks. Keep up the good work 🙏
Thanks for the review. I think this has convinced me to buy one, I just might have to wait until the next gen turns up or price drops a little more. I've budgeted for the PC build and as per forgot to budget for software and peripherals 😭
First of all, great video and nice setup tho. One question, I have the same monitor since 2 days, after some configuration and FW Update i am pretty convinced about the good and impressive quality of the monitor specially for gaming but I‘ve seen that you not gaming / using HDR in gaming, may I ask you why you do not playing in HDR and whats your settings ? Thanks in advance.
Honestly, most games look worse in HDR in my experience. So I never turn it on. For MP shooters, even if it looks better it is harder to see the enemy. But for some SP games it's absolutely fantastic. E.g. cyberpunk or sea of thieves look insane in HDR. But HDR is only really worth it if you have a high nit screen. On oled it still looks impressive on slightly lower nits. But I feel like any screen below 1000 nits just doesn't do HDR justice.
Nice showcasing. I'm pretty happy with my 34" ultra wide. That said, I wouldn't mind upgrading but I don't have the right table to accommodate. Anyway, can you please tell me if that background image @6:01 is from Windows or an image of your choosing?
Have this monitor. Thought I would HATE the 800r curve. Actually its not bad at all and I quickly learned to like it alot. Thought I would despise the about 86 PPI, it's fine unless you only do productivity. If you are like most and using it as mixed mode (Games, Web Browse and ocasionally productivity) it's absolutely fine. And I am pleased with the matte finish.
@@GW3N_yt It's such a highly subjective thing. What's fine for one person is untolarable for another. See if you can find the monitor or one with the same Pixel's Per Inch (PPI) and specs on display somewhere. I websurf alot and the text displayed on webpages does not both me at all.
I'd love to learn more about the PiP and PbP features! How does it work? Does it have to be two completely different sources? Can it be from only one source? etc. Thanks! Great videos man!
I have a 7950x3d 4090 and a 7800x3d 7900xtx and i use a lg cx tv for my 4090 and a 3440x1440 120hz ultrawide for my xtx. I want a new monitor for the 4090 i can spend $1500 max and this new lg is nice while 1440p doesn’t have the pixel density it does have other advantages mainly being easier to run high framerates. Some of these new games maxed at 4k with ray tracing still make the 4090 struggle a bit. And i do like ultrawide and curved. Its $500 off at best buy right now think its $1100 or 1200 but ive heard people getting it as low as $1000.
Just bought this and cannot figure out how to use it with my 2019 Macbook pro. Any advice on how to conect it? The HDMI > USB-C adapter makes the image unusable and in a red hue. Hoping I dont have to return it.
I heard the reason why it's 3440x1440 and not 3840x16XX is because this monitor is from a cutdown 55" panel instead of a 48". The 48" would have allowed for a bit higher PPI and a higher resolution.
@@techsteveo7913 you really don't get an OLED panel for productivity/casual browsing unless your stupid and have money to burn ( literally as the panel would burn in ). You would get a secondary monitor like I have to do all that.
How's the PPI with it being only 3440x1440 @ 45" ? I really wish it had a slightly higher resolution ... I currently have a 38" 3840x1600 Ultrawide and think going to such a low PPI will be pretty poor ;(
If you can accommodate such a large display, I recommend the C2/C3. Way higher resolution, better pixel density, glossy coating, lower price (C2). Only if you really need 240 Hz, the 45GR might make sense.
I do not play many games, I was looking for a good monitor for a Mac Studio M2 other than the Apple Studio Monitor Mainly this will be used for video and photo edits and Audio mixing. Would I like this monitor for a regular PC tasking. Have a 70 and an older LG 40 inch. I think I want to try this thing out. HELP!!! YAY or NAY?
Curious about the weight. I've got a g9 and it was really hard to find a monitor arm that could handle it. Any issues with monitor arms? Does your's support the weight easily?
Oh heck ya, this one is pretty hefty. Feels like it could easily hold more. This monitor with cables all in i believe is 24lbs. The G9 is hefty too though. I'm pumped to check out the G9 OLED when it launches
@@MinimalisTechcan you provide us your monitor arm? I bought this same monitor and have a cat and need to mount it as it’s too thin, that he might push it over.
I've had one for about a week, and I love a lot of things about it. I'm having a bit of a hard time with the anti-glare haze combined with the low pixel density. I wish I didn't notice it when I was gaming, but I do. Have you gotten used to that after using it for a bit longer?
At this resolution, I think the more common 34" is much more suitable, especially since this is monitor, not tv. You get better pixel density, and I think for most people aggressive curve and lager size can be quite odd and had to get used to.
Yes, sadly there isn't a single 34" woled monitor on the market. Qd-oled is still a pretty new technology and less proven so I'm hesitant to invest in a monitor i want to keep for at least 5 years when tvs of the same type have even minor burn in Problems. (Because a monitor tends to have more static images)
I think the size and resolution is fine, when it come to gaming, you would not see a difference. At the moment all QD-OLED's have a strange subpixel issue, on windows, not such an issue on Mac's.
Would have preferred a 38" size with a slight less aggressive curve and 3840 x 1600. Still on the fence about this monitor tho. I can't really find any other OLED out there on the market that's good for gaming that's over a 34" size.
I have this monitor to,had a question when I go to nividia panel it says selective panel is not validated, I have adaptive sync on,just wondering why it says that,I have a nividia 4080 graphic card.
Very helpful review, thank you! You mentioned you're gaming at 3440x1440 with your RTX 2070 (same as me!) on RDR II and Cyber Punk 2070; could you please elaborate what GPU settings (quality) you're using for this resolution and the FPS you're getting??
whats the difference between the HDR400 version and the HDR10 version? the hdr10 is 1000$ on bestbuy and the hdr400 is 1700$ can someone explain it to me like im 5, is it worth it to spend the extra 700$ for the hdr400?
I have a question, sorry to be late to the party but is this the type of ultra wide that can do split screen functions. Like if I was live streaming or making gaming videos, one side is windows running the capture program/ Twitch stuff while the other half is like me playing the actual game console/pc game. I ask because I know there is a latency thing with how streamed content is live and with my new desk I can't simply use my tv for that purpose anymore. So I need a second monitor. I tried looking into this but didn't really find any answers.
There are no 4Ks or 5Ks monitors that have 240 Hz. Not to mention, there's no GPU out there that can drive most AAA games especially with ray tracing anywhere near 240 FPS.
@@411STFU I'm confused: But how can you use it? Hdmi 2.1 only capaple 4k@120hz. This Monitor has no dp2.1 I guess and best gpu is 4090 and has also no dp2.1 AND can't run 4k@120fps every game?😅
Interested in what FPS you were getting in FPS games with the 2070. I have a 4090 and I'm hesitant to move to 4K as I want high FPS vs image quality. Hence interested in this monitor at 240hz
Yeah, forget about 4K if you value frames and latency. 45gr95qe will be magnificient with 4090. I ordered one too. Also rtx4090 isnt powerful enough to max out every game even at 1440p ultra.
4090 might not the best performer at 1440p, it's intended to deliver peak performance at higher resolution. Surely it will deliver 240hz in most shooters. I'm running around 150fps in MW2 in 4k, so in 1440p it should be close to 200hz and above, you can still activate DLSS to get those extra frames if you fancy.
@@giannimaccario9571 I think 4090 is the best performer in 1440p at the moment. Especially on 45gr95qe we're talking about. You can even use ultra settings and still have some power left in the bank for not creating unnecessary input lags or spikes or what not. 4090 is great man. Personally i'd say no for 4k, but we all have different preferences, so i get it. But like, i'm not sure which 4k monitor will be nicer than the one we're talking about here though. It's 240hz man, fuck 144hz for multiplayers man.
Did u play with ur ps5 sitting next to the monitor ? Cauz it’s been said that the ps5 doesn’t support the 21/9 ultrawide format … so do u play ps5 in 16/9 regular format ? Resulting black bars on each side ? Thanks .. considering purchasing this monitor
Hey! yeah - I just choose 16:9 instead for the ps5 and the black bars on the sides. Personally I have zero issue with it, especially while gaming it's far from noticeable.
I didn't experience any dimming etc. Only thing is the 45" screen size has a low PPI so text isn't as clear as it could be for productive work. There is the newer 39" model coming out soon though, I think that would be the sweet spot. Probably more expensive though.
Do you know a size bigger than the 32inch 16:9 but that is not a ultrawide or wide display. I'm looking for a monitor like the 32inch in the same height or bigger or same height but a bit wider. I would think the 34 would be the next step but the height is the same as a 27 and it's just wider. Know any monitor that's like the 32 but not being as big as a 40inch one
it does on PC! you just have to make sure to set your aspect ratio to 21:9 in the overwatch settings. For me I play 3440x1440 at 21:9. It defaults to 16:9 on some monitors when you first setup

@streamx3m correct

My 34" ultrawide at 1440p has noceable pixel density. 45"? No way I'm even trying to look at it.

Definitely gotten used to it. The pixel density didn’t bug me too much from the beginning since I had used a 32” 1440p for so long.
Can you use dldsr to increase the resolution
@@MinimalisTech How is the pixel density vs a 32" 1440P monitor as I used to have one of those. Is it similar? Thanks
@@MinimalisTech Bro why don't you please compare this to the QD OLED from Alienware? Did you take money or ANYTHING from LG?? PLEASE.
@@sammy10001 nope ive tried it cant go past the max rez
THIS is the monitor I want.
Did blizz actually fix OW for ultrawides or is the vert still cut off?
Did you get a Adapter for the arm ?
Is the 27 display old is good for both gaming and regular use
awesome monitor. PLEASE tell me what kind of vesa arm you use.. any link would be welcome. thank you
Yo! It's this one - geni.us/Monitor-Arm
it's gotta be able to hold this heavy ass monitor. Plus it's legit an all around great monitor arm.
@@MinimalisTech thanks a man! You're a great help 🙂
You are able to play the Xbox and PS5 full screen?
I looking for a wall mount for that 45" LG Monitor any idea ?
At this resolution, I think the more common 34" is much more suitable, especially since this is monitor, not tv. You get better pixel density, and I think for most people aggressive curve and lager size can be quite odd and had to get used to.
Yes, sadly there isn't a single 34" woled monitor on the market. Qd-oled is still a pretty new technology and less proven so I'm hesitant to invest in a monitor i want to keep for at least 5 years when tvs of the same type have even minor burn in Problems. (Because a monitor tends to have more static images)
I think the size and resolution is fine, when it come to gaming, you would not see a difference. At the moment all QD-OLED's have a strange subpixel issue, on windows, not such an issue on Mac's.
Would have preferred a 38" size with a slight less aggressive curve and 3840 x 1600. Still on the fence about this monitor tho. I can't really find any other OLED out there on the market that's good for gaming that's over a 34" size.
I have this monitor to,had a question when I go to nividia panel it says selective panel is not validated, I have adaptive sync on,just wondering why it says that,I have a nividia 4080 graphic card.
Very helpful review, thank you! You mentioned you're gaming at 3440x1440 with your RTX 2070 (same as me!) on RDR II and Cyber Punk 2070; could you please elaborate what GPU settings (quality) you're using for this resolution and the FPS you're getting??
whats the difference between the HDR400 version and the HDR10 version? the hdr10 is 1000$ on bestbuy and the hdr400 is 1700$ can someone explain it to me like im 5, is it worth it to spend the extra 700$ for the hdr400?
I have a question, sorry to be late to the party but is this the type of ultra wide that can do split screen functions. Like if I was live streaming or making gaming videos, one side is windows running the capture program/ Twitch stuff while the other half is like me playing the actual game console/pc game. I ask because I know there is a latency thing with how streamed content is live and with my new desk I can't simply use my tv for that purpose anymore. So I need a second monitor. I tried looking into this but didn't really find any answers.
Do you know if the monitor runs with a rtx 3060 in best quality?
Does the lg has asbl tpc (dimming brightness while static content)?
3440x1140 is pretty low for that size
Pretty much a deal breaker for me. That's like 80 PPI which is extremely low
There are no 4Ks or 5Ks monitors that have 240 Hz. Not to mention, there's no GPU out there that can drive most AAA games especially with ray tracing anywhere near 240 FPS.
@@DJaquithFL
Not true. Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 is 4k 240 Hz.
When you get old enough you dont care about PPI...
@@411STFU I'm confused: But how can you use it? Hdmi 2.1 only capaple 4k@120hz. This Monitor has no dp2.1 I guess and best gpu is 4090 and has also no dp2.1 AND can't run 4k@120fps every game?😅
What chair is that though?
is this monitor with build-in speakers?
holy shittt this loooks crazy to game on.
Can u do a vid of the victrix bfg vs the dualsense edge pls
What you prefer this or the c2?
yo! I dig this more than my C2. I appreciate the higher refresh rate and PC usage more in a desk setup.
Can you tell me the monitor mount you have? I’ve been trying to find one for my setup as well. Cheers and thanks
This is the one! geni.us/HEAVYMONITORARM
@@MinimalisTech awesome. Thank you 👍
Interested in what FPS you were getting in FPS games with the 2070. I have a 4090 and I'm hesitant to move to 4K as I want high FPS vs image quality. Hence interested in this monitor at 240hz
Yeah, forget about 4K if you value frames and latency. 45gr95qe will be magnificient with 4090. I ordered one too. Also rtx4090 isnt powerful enough to max out every game even at 1440p ultra.
4090 might not the best performer at 1440p, it's intended to deliver peak performance at higher resolution. Surely it will deliver 240hz in most shooters. I'm running around 150fps in MW2 in 4k, so in 1440p it should be close to 200hz and above, you can still activate DLSS to get those extra frames if you fancy.
@@giannimaccario9571 I think 4090 is the best performer in 1440p at the moment. Especially on 45gr95qe we're talking about. You can even use ultra settings and still have some power left in the bank for not creating unnecessary input lags or spikes or what not. 4090 is great man. Personally i'd say no for 4k, but we all have different preferences, so i get it. But like, i'm not sure which 4k monitor will be nicer than the one we're talking about here though. It's 240hz man, fuck 144hz for multiplayers man.
Can I play the switch in it?
Did u play with ur ps5 sitting next to the monitor ? Cauz it’s been said that the ps5 doesn’t support the 21/9 ultrawide format … so do u play ps5 in 16/9 regular format ? Resulting black bars on each side ? Thanks .. considering purchasing this monitor
Hey!
yeah - I just choose 16:9 instead for the ps5 and the black bars on the sides. Personally I have zero issue with it, especially while gaming it's far from noticeable.
@@MinimalisTech thanks a lot 😊😊😊
hi, how is it for work? I had a really bad experience with an LG C2 OLED as it dimms a lot when having like an MS Word or spreadsheet opened.
I didn't experience any dimming etc. Only thing is the 45" screen size has a low PPI so text isn't as clear as it could be for productive work. There is the newer 39" model coming out soon though, I think that would be the sweet spot. Probably more expensive though.
@@MinimalisTech thank you!!!
Hey, what keyboard is that my dude?
hi what monitor arm you using, we have same monitor by the way
Whats that chair?
Which is monitor support?
Do you know a size bigger than the 32inch 16:9 but that is not a ultrawide or wide display. I'm looking for a monitor like the 32inch in the same height or bigger or same height but a bit wider. I would think the 34 would be the next step but the height is the same as a 27 and it's just wider. Know any monitor that's like the 32 but not being as big as a 40inch one
With Ps5 ?? The Best or Not ??? Thnx
What desk mount is that for the that monitor
I need this for real 😳
It's the same PPI as a 27" 1080p to put that in perspective. If this was 4k it would be the perfect monitor
I thought OW didn't support fullscreen ultrawide resolution?
it does on PC! you just have to make sure to set your aspect ratio to 21:9 in the overwatch settings. For me I play 3440x1440 at 21:9.
It defaults to 16:9 on some monitors when you first setup
Why didn’t you touch on XBOX/PS compatibility with this display????
Did in my original review! Went pretty in depth. Cheers!
How are you getting rdr 2 to look and run that good on a 2070? It runs like ass on mine
Uploading a 21:9 video on youtube yields blackbars...plus no 'END SCREEN'' for earlier videos
