As always, thank you! 🫶
I got the Alienware 3423dwf the other week.... OLED monitors are freaking insane. If you can stretch budget for one, do it. I've had 7 different monitors in the past 2 yrs, from a 4k Acer predator to a 360hz 24' Asus ROG.... OLED blows everything out the water. Well worth the investment
I’m playing on a 360hz monitor atm and feel like it’s too small. I thought 1080p would a good match since I use a rtx 3070, but I think I can still run 1440p pretty well. I have a 48” C1 in my bedroom for the ps5 and now considering the Alienware after hearing your feedback. Was it a noticeable drop from 360hz to 165hz?
@@EndoV2 the jump to 1440 from 1080 far outweighs the benefit of a 3.7ms difference between 360hz and 165hz. And just the overall brightness/contrast of an OLED panel is nuts. I have a 3080ti so i get it almost maxed out at 162 fps average in modern warfare 2. I really think a 3070 would have little to no problem pushing 90+ fps in most games at 1440. If your budget can stretch it try it out. If you buy from dell direct they have a 90 return, but I really think ud be surprised
just got the Alienware ultra wide... ya its unreal.
I don't think 4k ultrawides exist or even they do it would cost too much and will be hard to run games on it even with a 4090. So I think going for a 1440p ultrawide panel is actually the reasonable move here.
The 48 inch LG Ultragear has a setting to turn it into an ultrawide by putting black bars on the top and bottom of the display. I think 38 inch is the sweet spot, just waiting for an OLED.
Should have gone a bit tinier screen then 40" would have been awesome.
@@jasonstl636 Which makes it the same ppi or even lower ppi actually than this screen, so the only point of that is that you can have both, 21:9 1440p or 4k 16:9. But no Curve
4K ultrawides can never exist as the term "4K" refers to 3840x2160 which does not fit the 21:9 aspect ratio :P. That said 2160P ultrawides can very much exist :P He did miss pointing 3440x1440 is around 30% less demanding than 4K and around 60% less demanding than a 5440x2160 (2140P ultrawide) would be. ide) would be.
An oled monitor at 38inch with QHD+ resolution and 144hz would be great for everything!
Absolutely, targeted perfection.
no. going above 27inch . 4k shud b min.
otherwise there will b no clarity
@@CaptainScorpio24 do you even have a 4k 27 inch monitor. Fhd 27 inch is "fine" but clearly pixelated. qhd should be the new minimum if someones getting a 27+ inch monitor. 4k is good but again thats mainly for content creators/simple content viewing. For gaming its not as good as its harder to get enough frames and if u drop resolution the framerate is low
@@AgastyaXV yeah for gaming qhd is best ,i have top end benq 27 inch 1440p monitor which has ppi of 109
for 4k ppl shud go for 32inch size..
4k at 27 inch is useless one has to upscale their text size to actually view the contents.
I come from a 720p 27 inch gameplay so... ppi is not something i get bored by 😅
I'm gonna get back to PC gaming and i can't wait to put my hands on one of these
Great video. You do a great job in your explanations of each aspect of this monitor. I just bought the Samsung oled G8 and I’m tempted to get this, just not sure about it because of the price. I got the G8 for $999. Anyway, great job, you earned a sub!
I currently roll with a LG 40WP95C-W as my main with a ppi of 140-it is awesome for productivity as an engineer. I’m currently testing LG’s 45GR95QE-B OLED as a second monitor with a ppi of 80. It is an awesome gaming monitor but not suitable for coding, reverse engineering, running Windows [CMD] or Linux commands on the fly. I’m torn if I should keep the OLED monitor and use it exclusively for gaming or return it. It is an expensive gaming monitor but I'm 85% confident, I will keep the OLED for gaming-esp. since D4 is coming out…
damn, you just blew my bubble. I've been on the fence with buying this monitor for work as a Data Scientist but seeing that you said it's not good for coding is kind of a bummer. I wish someone would do a reveiw abuot the monitor that codes or works with data. I'm not a hardcore gamer, more of a casual when I have time but I was really interested in the monitor for the 21:9 aspect ratio since I work with Excel and Google Sheets alot and the 45" beats having two 34" monitors.
@@dta6 Get two UW monitors: one for work and one for mindless vegging out. The only reason I kept this monitor is for entertainment purposes. I mainly use this for playing chess, go, and soon, Diablo 4--coming out 5/1/23, watching TH-cam videos, and streaming some movies. This monitor is EXCELLENT for OLED quality gaming but bad for coding in Vim, working in MATLAB, writing scripts, etc...
I mean is it absolutely not usable for windows? Or why you can’t code on it?
I'm torn between this and a 42 inch. I'm legally blind so I'm hoping the larger monitor allows me to scale text larger without content getting squished together and also hope it allows me to sit further back into my chair when playing games instead of being c shapped at desk.
I've noticed on high resolution monitors text is much smaller so I'm not sure about a 4k 42inch. I'll probably have it scaled up using windows scaling to 150% or 175%. A 42 inch paired with a dual up from lg have the same height so they'd look sharp on a desk together but I think text would look much larger without having to crank the scaling as high on the lg45. Not all apps handle windows dpi scaling properly. Plus the curve would bring the edges closer to my face.
I think the C2 Oled would be a good match for you. That's what I'm running for work and play and since it's 4k (unlike this monitor), you can scale it pretty large and still have good definition. It's also half the price.
Missed pointing out a major advantage, 3440x1440 is around 30% less demanding than 4K and around 60% less demanding than a 5440x2160 (2140P ultrawide) would be.
Exactly I think people don't realize how 240hz works. If you're graphics card can't push out 240fps what's the point of getting this monitor that's why 1440p makes sense. This monitor is amazing the 2024 version is even better.
I bought one of these and I love it, it’s such an experience to play games & watch movies on! Also runs great on my 4070ti build.
Great video , top notch quality 👌🏻👌🏻
Thanks dude!
I love the intro cinematics. Who is the dog on your shirt?
😀 You know honestly, I think it's just a boat dog 🤣
I just picked one up today from best buy i was using my lg cx 65in oled tv which works great but wanted a new monitor. I also have a Alienware 3440x1440 120hz gsync display and a 32in lg 144hz 1440p display. But my system with a 3080ti was fine with the Alienware but I’ve built 2 systems since then a 7950X3d & 4090 and a 7800x3d & nitro 7900xtx both pushing past 120hz and 144hz on both my monitors. Im know the pixel density is not as good as a 4k display but I’m fine with the resolution. Also grabbed the 4 year extended warranty when you pay this much for a monitor i like not having to worry about it breaking but so far my lg tv has been awesome and I cant go back from oled now it just looks so good.
I find this monitor to be amazing but so dim. The dimness, paired with the scare of burn in is going to make me return it this weekend. Really sucks cause other than that it’s perfect
I’d be very interested to see a Gen 2 of this panel with all the downsides ironed out. It’s got a ton of potential.
when I saw this in person at bestbuy. It was wayyy to dim & just didn't look rite compared to the other monitors on display!!
Would’ve been perfect at 105-110ppi and a gloss finish. 1700 for 80ish ppi.. can’t do it.
I love it using it on an arm
Some people focus on high resolution, some on smooth motion. For me I can't use 120hz even moving windows on the desktop at 120hz bothers me. I have 240hz monitor now and am happy with it, luckily it is not 4k because you need 240fps in-game (during action) to take advantage of the 240hz and it is not easy to achieve 240fps (during action) at 4k
haha i feel that way about 60hz, funny you have that feeling about 120hz. probably a case of "once you see it, you cant unsee it"
This would have been the beat monitor out there if the pixel density wasn't so low
The new aroll setup is dope! 🔥
Thank you dude! Changed it up after a bit, and have something now that's super flexible!
Resolution is too low for me.
I got an 38" 3840x1600p IPS Ultrawide with 160Hz. Love it, perfect sweet spot
Nice! I'm still waiting to find that perfect sweet spot before I can justify the upgrade.
i ran a 3440x1440 for many years from when it first came out and the 1440 vertical is just too limiting for productivity imo. 3840x1600 or 4k UW sounds pretty good! i currently have a 48c1 but it's too big.
the intro 🔥🔥🔥
It’s a nice monitor for media consumption and gaming. The low ppi
Makes working on it for productivity work/ coding more difficult and cause eye strain for some . I recently got it and boy gaming is great . I have not had issues with the Low ppi for basic web browsing , forums and what not. For my normal use it’s been good. I had to get a new work display so my 38 inch went to the work side and with a side by side comparison you can definitely tell . I’m 90% sure I’m keeping it, I wanted a curved display that had more vertical real estate then my 38 had and this feels the perfect size for what I wanted. I thought about the C2 since that one looks awesome but the glossy is a no good for my setup . Juts my opinion this far
Same for me too. I would buy this monitor and use it exclusively for gaming purposes, streaming videos, and watching movies in a home office. I would not buy this monitor for productivity purposes that deal with reading---low ppi but awesome for gaming. I bought this monitor at $2k when it was originally released, now this monitor is selling for $1400k. I use this monitor for entertainment and use my LG 40WP95C-W as my main with a ppi of 140-it is awesome for productivity as an engineer.
@@RoccoSaldanaso if I’m strictly gonna be playing games I have nothing to worry about? Because I bought it didn’t set it up yet and all the reviews have me worried now
@@SmokeBlastt Yes! This monitor is best when doing recreational activities: playing games, streaming movies, etc…
@@RoccoSaldana ok good the complaints about the text and pixel density were making me worried I bought it for 1k so I got an amazing deal on it
Holy smokes! Great deal on you monitor!!! I purchased another one to roll with 2 LG UW OLEDS side by side when gaming. I paired the two to my 4090. @@SmokeBlastt
It should have 5K2K resolution. 3440x1440 is way too low.
its because its designed for people that want to push 240hz, fps player and sim types no one will be able to push 4k 240hz unless its and old tittle on top of the line cards with out bs dlls3 that adds a ton of latency

I'm seeing it's coming in Q1 of 2025. 6 months out.
Well, there is more than LG TV Lineup... LG 48GQ900. Its an actual monitor with DP and you can set it to 3840x1600 in the options, if its to large for you. Its so good and costs half of this thing here with a resolution of only 3440x1440 on a 45 inch display in 2023? This is ridiculous. My 34 inch Acer Predator used the same resolution back in 2017. The ooooonly thing whats new here, is an oled display with a low resolution. Nothing more.
Another consideration for sure! That resolution is definitely a deal breaker for most people.
How you can get a 240fps in 4k resolution? Even a 4090 cant manage to pull 240fps in modern game in 4k, BUT in 1440p it CAN.
+ this is GAMING monitor (gaming line) and 1440p is sweetspot for gaming
@@iDexy88 Who needs 240hz? Pro gamer used to play with 165 not many years ago and it was no problem. Everyhting above 144 Hz is buttery smooth. Marketing makes 240hz a good seller. People think they can make one frag more in a game with this. 1440p Sweetspot? It was 5 yeras ago. I have a 3080Ti and 4k, and play everyhing above 120 hz and pretty good I think - and its way more enjoyable too look at. Why not playing 960hz with 480p??
1440p at 45 inch is ridiculous.
@@stephanekoto3967 can’t agree at all! Best of all, matt coating! The C3 is glossy… worst thing to work with. I love the gq900… best experience I’ve ever had!
@@stephanekoto3967 can’t agree! I work on this monitor with white background on 70% brightness in a well lit room… absolutely no problem! The monitor is perfect!
Its not a OLED issue but I totally agree with the resolution....games are ok, desktop not so... 3440 x 1440 max resolution is 32" screen so stretching this to 45" is not good. I suggest 4k 42" screen,
Went with the aw3423dwf for now. Will wait for the price to come down on this in the future.
Just down sample the resolution from 4k UW for Desktop usage. Looks great.

@@RoccoSaldana I did end up buying this monitor. It's absolutely incredible. Took me about 3 days to get used to the curve and everything but I absolutely love it. It's aton of money...but man...I do not regret picking it up at all. I use it exactly for what you mentioned.
@@cloud9847 Ikr! I bought the monitor at $2k---now it is priced at $1.4k. Meh!
My next project is maybe upgrading our main tv to an 85" OLED come Black Friday 2023. I recently checked out prices for OLEDs and prices have significantly decreased since my last TV purchase in 2020...
We're supposed to get a 5k/2k version with MLA+ in Q1 of next year.
more demanding on the gpu unless you are getting a new gpu as well
@@nightruler666I just got the 2024 version last night. I didn't want to wait any longer, because the 5k/2k version will likely be out of my price range for quite a while after it comes out.
I'm actually using it for mostly productivity, and some light gaming on the side. The text bothered me a lot the first day, but surprisingly not so much now. I'm loving it for video editing, and the curve is magical IMHO. I'm sure I'll get the 5k version at some point, but for now I'm happier than I thought I'd be with this year's model. I don't regret the purchase.
@@RADERFPV I got the 2023 version when it was on sale and for gaming I dont notice the low res text its a little noticable when you are browsing the web not as bad as many people making out to be.
So.. I got a question. I play single player games. Is C2 more for me or this? OR G3? I may splurge for G3 if it's gonna be better than C2 or this one. The only thing stopping me from buying this is the oled lifespan. Since this isn't too brighter than C2, I feel like I'm buying an expensive C2 with the C2's expected lifespan. G3 and G series in general have 5 yr warranty which also means longer oled life.

People were saying it looks like it’s 1080p even though it’s supposed to show 4k and you can see every pixel
Great video! I am an old PC gamer RPG games (Edler Scrolls...Skyrim forever!-800 mods at once) but not MMO. Also, I do a lot of productivity work on my PC. Currenlty I have my first curved monitor; U34G2G4R3 with a Nvidia RTX 3060Ti and it is great for the price but I don't like that I lost a lot of horizontal screen compared to my LG 32MN530P IPS monitor. So that is why I am looking at the 45" curved. Do you think it's worth the price to go bigger?
Thanks Joey! I hop back and forth between two 34" ultrawides and a 4K 42" OLED. The resolution of the 45" Curved OLED is the only thing that might be a downside compared to a smaller 4K display. I'd personally first check out a 42" C2 and see if that works for your setup. Also - awesome game selection by the way!
yup deal breaker indeed 45" only 1440? - NOPE
Just wait until that Samsung Odyssey g9 oled 49 in July comes out .
Great review on this LG. How does the C2 @ 3840x1600_21:9 compare to this monitor. Is it sharper than this when your C2 is running at that 21:9 resolution? I have a 55" G2 coming in two days, and they're essentially same panel minus the heat sink.
Does PBP work with only 1 computer? I know it works with 2 devices, haven’t seen anyone confirm if pbp works with 1 device
Nice puppy :D
This Panel was way to dim for me!!
I don't have any oled screens in my house, do you think it would be too dim in my case?
great review, very good video, I liked the wallpaper, can you provide
Thanks for watching! Going to add it in the description now.
Idn when we forgot that curved moniters we're meant to be corner mounted to your walls there supposed to work better like that then sitting in front like normal flat panel
Does FSR3 help with the sharpness?
what about overshoot/inverse ghosting? RTINGS made review of 27inch of this and they wrote about visible overshoot, is here any while your framerate is below 200fps?
Anyone know how to get OW looking like that without the big bars on the sides? His still has some but mine are HUGE
I wish they release it in 4k too 😢
Good content
is this with build-in speakers?
nice , should i buy this or wayt g9 samsung oled?
That's what im debating on doing because the immersion from this monitor looks amazing but the higher resolution of the oled samsung could be a huge steal
PPI is crap! Would be the ultimate monitor if it was 5120x2160!

Reading text isn’t the best but you use it for games or movies, what it’s designed for.. it’s brilliant and amazing. Haven’t had mine a week yet and I’m loving it. My 4070ti is also pushing it perfectly.
You’re able to look past that rough text after the 1st time using it.
That would be pretty hard to run on most gpu plus the price alone would be over around 3000 for monitor is just stupid.
@@GForceIntel true, but it’s an awesome monitor. I love mine. 🤣
Personally im more concerned about frames and a decent graphics setting, if you're struggling to get 240 fps at 1440 just imagine 4K with Ray tracing
So weird that they dont put 3860x1600 on the 45 like they did on 38" , That pixelated desktop is almost a dealbreaker for $1700
Everything and i mean everything we perfect but ppi🤮
I have this monitor I have a 40,80 and 4090 and the 4080 max is resolution and FPS at 1440 without a problem my 4090 actually performs worse
I got a 4080 a few months ago after watching some tech videos showing the bottle necking of the the 4090 was causing some issues… it’s nice to hear someone with a 4090 post similar results… I imagine next generations cpu and monitors are going to be a better fit for the 4090 and whenever display port 2.0 is released. I am going to Best Buy to look at this monitor in person tonight. I’m currently hooked to a oled Bravia tv which is great but the input lag could be a lot better.
at this size... lg tvs make more sense with the 4k
nice
1700 and having to compromise on resolution is a no go for me. This shouldve been a 4k panel. Disappointing.
LG wasting OLED panels on these curved displays.
why in gods name would they drop the refresh rate? Just because you can't hit it doesn't mean you are not benefiting from it
The problem is with the 4090 there is no CPU on the market right now fast enough to push that 4090 at 1440 P you’ll get the same result with a 4080 with a 13 900 K Aetna better at 1440 P to 4090 bottlenecks. Any resolution under 4K
don't buy OLED untill you r rich or has so much cash to burn.
OLED has an expiry date unlike IPS
anyway excellent review.
my 3yo IPS is starting to die in the corners (looks like dark spots, vignette) meanwhile my 2yo OLED is still fantastic
@@Indpendent01 my cheapest 20inch 6 yr old lg ips monitor wd hdmi is still working flawlessly.
and its been replaced by benq 1440p 144hz 27 inch ips last Decembe as main monitor.
Every new monitor over 34inches needs to be 1600p or greater. 1440p makes me angry.
still 1440...meh
Posts in 30 fps lmao
thats pretty normal for YT videos
@@Indpendent01 Of course, but when you include PC gameplay it's only right to post in 60 FPS.
Yeah who even still posts YT videos in 30 fps lol
1440p is a deal breaker for me. I don't understand why they made that decision.
this is gaming monitor, even 4090 will strugle in new games@4K...1440p is sweet spot
New unreal engine 4k is going to be awful it is being nerfed by the upcoming unreal engine 5.2 look it up 4k gaming is dead
you will be sitting 5 feet+ from this monitor you wont be able to tell difference but your gpu will.

Alienware 34 inch is king.
You want a gaming display, Retina display and OLED combined. $5000. Maybe. Would you buy it? Or would you sit around whining about the price?
Wtf is Retina display? Btw LG can actually build a panel that's 5120x2160 with MLA but which GPU would be able to push that panel past 120 fps ? None.
Retina is nothing but a marketing term used by Apple. It simply describes a display with a high resolution relative to screen size. What a display has to offer to be called "Retina" is anyone's guess but the marketing geniuses at Apple.
The Perfect Gaming Monitor is a Micro-LED or Crystal-LED Display, maybe slightly curved at at around 40 inches with 240Hz IMO, these things are 10 years away though
@@OTNaugrim well junior, when you use one of Apple’s retina displays, you see what they mean. The text is so sharp it’s hard to go to the typical gaming monitor or crap resolution monitor afterwards. The text on most monitors looks blurry afterward.
Retina refers to a high-resolution display technology used in their devices, including iPhones, iPads, and MacBook laptops.
The term "retina" refers to the human eye's inability to distinguish individual pixels on a display when viewed from a normal viewing distance. The idea is that if a display has a high enough pixel density, the human eye won't be able to see the individual pixels, creating a smoother and more detailed image.
Apple's retina displays typically have a pixel density of at least 300 pixels per inch (PPI), which is higher than the average display. This allows for sharper text, more vibrant colors, and finer details in images and videos. Apple achieves this high pixel density by packing more pixels into the same physical space on the display, resulting in a smoother and more visually pleasing experience for the user.
Now see how much easier it is to just say retina?
From what I read this gaming monitor only has 84ppi. So using it for coding and massive spreadsheets and things will be annoying. If you’re accustomed to retina level ppi, you’re going to think you need reading glasses all of a sudden.
I, like the creator of the video, dream of having a combined high ppi/OLED monitor with all those great gaming features. A 45” curved OLED at 300ppi is going to be at least $5000. Probably why no one makes one. The gaming community would laugh at the price.
I see but I don't see what Apple has to do with anything in this conversation lmao. He should talk about PPI instead of using bs marketing terminologies.
Da fuck, a 3440x1440 45"panel? Man, I had a 34" 3440x1440 in 2016 and that felt too pixelated for me. (I don't care about PPI, I know people like to use it as a metric but I always found it irrelevant) This thing needs to be 5120x2160 before I'd consider and gloss. I had a 38" 3840x1600 a few years ago and I feel like we need an OLED panel like this. Still loving my 42" C2, so vibrant without the stupid matte coating. *Gloss is Boss!*
