      I also bought an LG 39GS95QE for my second computer. In short, after the last update of Windows 11, the fonts look quite tolerable, like on some kind of VA matrix, even true type. Test this model too. ;) This 45’’ is no longer relevant due to its resolution - after all, UWQHD is not enough for this size, whatever one may say. :)

    • @Battleneter
      @Battleneter 27 วันที่ผ่านมา

      The LG does not have a lower resolution than the G9, both are 1440P, the G9 is wider thus has more pixels horizontally, but that does not equal "higher resolution". Its all about the VERTICAL pixel count not horizontal. The LG is however equivalent to a 32" vertically and the G9 only a 28", so in actual fact the G9 has higher ppi but that's only due to the small vertical screen size.

    Great review :)
    Have you tried to set the games on windowed borderless and set the settings tp 3440x1440 on them to see if you will get a better or worse fps on them at the same game resolution? would'nt that be a better comparison because the GPU is having a harder time when you use the higher resolution
    I have the G9 57" myself, and most of the time im running the games in 5120x2160 because the full widht is to extreme for one game, so I use it to have steam and other programs open in the sides.

    Nice. Totally get your points re: the stand. The stand is so crucial for space. I use Dell UWs because I focus more on productivity for my monitor than gaming since I stream a lot from my gaming PC to my handhelds and Meta Quest. The extra 90W PD is very nice but I agree for most users not needed. Looking forward to your review of the 52K2 UW.

    what would you say is the best monitor for professional video editing / gaming? When editing I've been using my MacBook pro m1 display alongside a samsung UE510 (U28E510) for years now. When gaming I use an Omen 144hz monitor alongside my Samsung. I kind of want 1 monitor which I can use for everything without having to swap monitors off my desk depending on what I'm doing. Thanks in advance

    I really appreciate you mathing the screen size there for us. I think this might be the perfect sized monitor for gaming. Samsung ones do seem great but, their aspect ratio kills it for me. And the 57 inch isn't even in oled.

    After gaming on the 2013 (GR) model and the 2014 (GS) model, did you notice a significant difference in brightness and how the ABL dims the screen during bright moments? I heard the 2013 model's ABL is more aggressive than the 2014. I am going to pick this monitor up for gaming, and I am wondering if i should grab the GR now for $1200 or wait for the GS to drop in price in a few months. If there is a noticable difference, I will wait.

    • @Spinelli__
      @Spinelli__ 17 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Never noticed the ABL a single time EVER in 14 months of using the 2023 monitor while gaming, watching movies, videos, etc. Also, the 2023 model can have it's brightness way increased with 4 or 5 settings in the LG service menu (requires an LG service remote that's like $8), not to mention, using DLDSR (at full 240 Hz, RGB) with games drastically increases image quality. The extra brightness settings in the LG service menu combined with DLDSR turns the monitor from a beast to an absolute monster. Best overall gaming monitor in the entire industry by far (or 2nd to the 57" 32:9 Samsung if only play simracing games).

    Would you recommend the older model (45GR95QE-B) over the newer model (45GS96QB-B) if it was significantly cheaper? Currently the older model is about $2099 AUD vs the newer model at $2999.

    I tried the Corsair flex version recently. The only issue i had was with the pixel density. Unlike with a qd-oled display where the colour fringing on text gave me a headache as well as the pixel density being low. Really at that size display 3440x1440 is unacceptable. Unless you're literally only ever playing a game or maybe watching a video. Unlike the G9 oled you really can't even begin to do anything productive imo. In some ways it's like using an old school 1080p or 720p monitor. If the next generation is 5k2k like is rumoured, then that's actually endgame for me.

    If you want a large OLED 4K monitor, you should consider the LG 42 Flex. I had considered the 45 UltraGear, but it's 2K resolution has just too low of a dpi. I've been using the 42 Flex for 3 months now, and wouldn't trade it for anything - except maybe a 48" Flex (if LG made one).

    I'm extremely grateful for your reviews and dedication. Currently I'm a law student, and I've been really trying to find what UltraWide monitor is best for me. I'm only using the new MacBook Pro, and though I spend the majority of my time taking notes, review documents, writing briefs, etc., I want to get the proper monitor without paying for bells and whistle which are no benefit to me. On the side I do a lot of video and sound editing. After watching several of your reviews, I'm really quite sold on this monitor... unless you recommend something different. Thanks!

      From what you've written, you don't mention gaming once - so I'd recommend looking for one with a higher resolution. If you're editing then you'll be able to fit more on the screen too. I just got the Dell 40" Ultrawide which is smaller but has a much higher resolution, at 120hz, with a full dock in the back. Perhaps that's a good option for you?

    I bought this monitor after watching the review of the original model. For those looking at this monitor: You trade PPI for insanely fast refresh rates and motion clarity and the best immersion a TV sized monitor can offer.
    On top of that it’s an OLED. You can find the original model on sale, for the same price as a normal sized OLED. You don’t buy this monitor to get a normal experience. It’s all about the immersion.

      @@Akupunktura187 QD-OLED colors are better. I’m not going to argue that. I said smaller screens have better PPI. Yes the 32in 4k QD-OLED is a better screen, it’s fact.
      But I said this monitor is the most immersive due to its size, curve, the high refresh and motion clarity is excellent. There are plenty of smaller regular sized monitors that have better PPI and QD-OLEDs will always look better than matte WOLEDs (LG 45in). But if someone is looking at this monitor it’s due to it’s size for immersion during gaming. That’s literally the only reason. It’s one of a kind at that until they make 5k ultrawide version 2024 Q4.

      True. This screen size + 21:9 aspect ratio + 800R curve immerses me more than my own higher resolution 42inch LG C2 or the MSI MPG 32inch QD-OLED (which I returned). e.g. Playing No Man's Sky on this is a vastly different experience compared to the latter 2 displays as you actually feel like you're in a spaceship instead of just looking at a TV or monitor.

    Just to clarify. The physical screen may be taller but its the same vertical pixel count at the 32:9. They are both 1440 pixels vertically. The difference is the 32:9 monitor has more horizontal pixels. So the 32:9 has alot more screen space over this monitor bc it has higher pixels per inch. Overall if this monitor is 1 penny iver 1k USD its a rip off.

      Lower input lag than a TV, curvature, 21:9 (ie. "ultrawide") aspect ratio and, most importantly, 240 Hz which makes a huge difference. 120 Hz still has tons of blur regardless of pixel response times due to OLED and LCD screens using a terrible thing called "sample-and-hold" to update the image. It's only when you get to the 180 or 190 Hz area and above that the blur associated with sample-and-hold (often referred to as "persistence blur) starts noticeably being reduced. At 240 Hz (combined with OLED's incredibly low pixel response times), it's awesome.

It's not even close to being in the same category as 45" 21:9 which is an ultrawide version of a standard 36.5"-37" monitor. The only available size I'd even begin to consider against 45" 21:9 is 57" 32:9 which is a super ultrawide version of a 32" monitor...and going from essentially 32" to 37-ish" (let alone 27" to 37") is a huge difference especially in person with the monitor right in front of you.

      Not true at all.

      I have 42in 4K and 50in 4k screens to compare to and the PPI on those are not ideal either. But they’re great for console gaming. This 45in looks sharp enough in games and the immersion is second to none.
