I ordered two of these. One came with panel problems so I returned it. Easy return as usual. The remaining monitor is great, one of the best monitors I have ever had. Bright, large, crisp display with no bad pixels. Previously I had ordered 2 from LG for overnight delivery. One was canceled without telling me because of stock issues. The other came a week later though I ordered it overnight. I needed it promptly. Hence the Amazon order. I scheduled a 15 day guarantee return for the late LG order but a week later am still waiting for a return label. I strongly recommend that you do NOT order from the LG web site. LG support is terrible. There can occasionally be problems with some Amazon purchases but I have never had significant problems with their return policy. Stick with Amazon or a local vendor. When the delayed LG order arrived it also had panel problems. This is a great monitor though panel quality is hit or miss. Read more

While the screen is amazing, I believe I received a unit that was not new - it was missing a plastic cover and had a few scratches on the back. Read more

I got this monitor for a deal on their Amazon Prime Day Deals and seems a bit of a reasonable price and overall worth. The white color on the monitor is great and matches my theme. Build quality is great with solid metal stand and very great. The clarity is great with the OLED panel on it. However, because it is an OLED it is known for its burn in issues as long as you take good care of it, it will last you a good while. The size was honestly bigger than I thought for a 34 inch. Which the stand just fits with the upper stand being off and not cause of that it’s the desk that’s the issue. The thickness could use an improvement cause it looked a bit thicker than I thought. But overall, if you got a great deal for this then go for it. But if not then it may not be worth the price to you. Read more

This is NOT the 5k2k version of this monitor, like the images and description suggests. It is the older 1440p version. The model number is the only thing that is correct in the description and again matches the older model NOT the 5k2k version. Read more

Initially received the monitor with severe panel artifacts (second time experiencing this with LG). Almost returned it again, but Pixel Cleaning in the monitor settings fixed it completely. Works great now, but be aware of this issue before buying. For a premium LG monitor, it shouldn’t be like this out of the box. Read more

I never pre-order, but, apprehension due incoming tariffs, compelled me to pre-order so my purchase price would be locked in in case of a tariff-induced price increase. It took 3 weeks to finally get here, and, I'm both relieved, and excited to report this monitor is beyond astounding. Picture quality and response times are top tier. This was intended for use with a new laptop, but, new laptop hasn't arrived yet, and I'm happy to find this monitor will even work with a 10-year-old laptop. This was quite the relief because an additional monitor from another other brand I ordered was either defective, or, just didn't work with this old laptop, so, I sent that other brand monitor back. Anyway, I'm very glad this will work with old laptop until new one arrives. Read more

I like this monitor. I got it because my other monitor stopped working (ASUS ROG Swift 34” PG34WCDM) so I figured I'd give LG a shot. I have a sound bar so the eARC connection was the main selling point that got me to choose this one (now I can finally game with the Dolby Atmos for home theater setting selected); and because the specs were identical to the Asus monitor I had. Between this monitor and the Asus one I had, I noticed the colors pop and are more vibrant on this LG monitor than Asus. However, the Asus monitor was sharper in image quality, it wasn't by a lot, but it is a noticeable difference. Looks great while gaming. Got a 4080 Super and played Clair Obscure Expedition 33 and now playing (at the time of writing this) Doom The Dark Ages and looks great on max/ultra/highest settings possible. No flickering, image is stable. The remote control adds a nice touch for functionality. The price I got on this monitor was perfect. Make sure you get protection plan, I didn't get one for the Asus monitor and now here I am writing a review for a different monitor and I'm kicking myself for not getting it. But what can you do, lesson learned, I got it for the LG monitor. Read more

Color and brightness are wonderful but that’s about where the fun stops. The text is so incredibly fuzzy and all black objects have a slight yellow halo line. Additionally had a faulty USB-C port on delivery. Have to return it. Read more

I never had an oled but this monitor has blown my mind. The colors are so good specially the black. I love the frames per second 240 herz. I love the fact that it can also be used as a streaming tv. It has YouTube, Disney + you name it. If you are looking for an amazing monitor this is the one. Specially if you are like me, just getting into the oled monitors. Don’t forget that curve it really helps the with the immersion. 5/5 stars from me. Just fyi this monitor has 2 years warranty. Read more

A simply outstanding monitor! I've used a 16:9 monitor my whole life, and finally decided to pull the trigger on an OLED ultrawide 21:9. I have two LG OLED TV's in my home and knew LG was the way to go when it comes to OLED. I was coming from a 32" 16:9 monitor and originally purchased the 34" older version of this monitor. I found that when using it on my PC, which is capable of 21:9, it was great, but when switching to my PS5, which uses a 16:9 aspect ratio, the screen basically became a 27" monitor and I found myself squinting at the screen. IN COMES THIS 39" MONITOR! It's exactly what I wanted it to be! At the full 21:9 aspect ratio it envelopes you into a new level of immersion! And at the 16:9 aspect ratio it feels exactly like my old 32" monitor! The best part is that because it's OLED the black bars on the side are completely black; no grey glow like other ultrawide monitors! Speaking of OLED the contrast is phenomenal, and the colors are so vibrant! LG OLED TVs have ruined me when watching or playing on any other screen, so this OLED monitor has been such a nice addition to my arsenal of screens! At $1099 (on sale) this is a fantastic value for the money! The monitor is basically a TV with the addition of WebOS. If you're familiar with LG's OLED TV's, it functions exactly the same. It auto recognizes the inputs and either asks you if you'd like to switch, or switches automatically when in standby mode. When using this with a PS5, be sure to turn off VRR inside the PS5 settings or the monitor will cut in and out. (This might only apply to my setup as I run my PS5's HDMI out through an audio extractor). I absolutely love this monitor, and I can't wait to game for hours and hours and feel completely immersed! Thank you LG! :D Read more

First Impressions After waiting for the perfect monitor for over 5 years, the LG 45GX950A has exceeded all expectations. It’s not just a monitor—it’s a full-on experience. This 45” OLED monitor is in a class of its own and is a huge upgrade that was well worth the wait. It's large and immersive enough to double as a TV. Performance & Display Quality Playing games on an OLED panel at 165Hz with this resolution is unprecedented. Text is razor-sharp and extremely legible at 125 PPI. The tiny pixels make individual RGB subpixels invisible even under a magnifying glass. The default brightness is set at 100%, which can be harsh on the eyes, but reducing it to 50% creates a comfortable and rich viewing experience. Design & Build The matte finish is an excellent choice, minimizing reflections during daytime use or nighttime movie viewing. Unlike glossy screens with aggressive curves that can reflect the room or even distort the monitor’s own image, the matte surface eliminates internal glare and reflection, which can be problematic on an 800R curve. The monitor also features a stylish, hexagonal customizable LED backlight, and the black rear cover helps minimize ambient light scatter, unlike white back panels. Features & Functionality A key improvement over my old LG monitor is the convenience factor. The 45GX950A auto-switches to the active input source—a welcome change from having to switch manually. Also, DisplayPort now carries audio to the internal speakers, which are surprisingly loud and adequate for everyday use. Gaming Experience The 21:9 ultrawide aspect ratio is perfect for cinematic content and immersive gameplay. With a 0.03 ms response time and support for up to 165Hz (330Hz with overclocking), this monitor is lightning-fast. The wider field of view is especially ideal for racing sims, flight sims, and open-world titles. If you've never gamed on an OLED display, the difference in black depth and contrast will feel almost surreal. Power Efficiency Despite its size and capabilities, the monitor uses only 35 watts for non-gaming activity and 40 watts during gaming when HDR brightness is at 50%. That’s incredibly efficient and allows it to run cool even during extended use. Pros: 1. You will feel very giddy at first – in a good way. The curve feels dramatic but quickly becomes natural and immersive. 2. Blazing speed: 165Hz/330Hz refresh and 0.03 ms response time. 3. Convenience: Auto input switching and DisplayPort audio. 4. Cinematic ultrawide 21:9 ratio with a vertical 2160 resolution. 5. Immersive and ideal for games and movies with deeper blacks. 6. Low power usage and high efficiency. 7. Matte finish eliminates distracting reflections. 8. Customizable backlight with functional design choices like the black rear panel. Cons: 1. A faint white vertical bar appeared at first, but OLED Image Cleaning resolved it quickly. 2. On the pricey side, though the feature set justifies the cost. 3. Your GPU or CPU may need upgrading to handle the full 5K2K resolution. 4. For uncompressed DisplayPort 2.0/2.1 support, you’ll need an RTX 5000 or RX 7000 series card. Final Thoughts If you're looking for a monitor that blends stunning visuals, fast refresh rates, immersive curvature, and premium build quality—this is it. I didn’t get to see this in person before buying, but after using it for a day, I can confidently say I will be more than 100% satisfied with it for years to come. Highly recommended. Read more
