39GX90SA-W 39-inch Ultragear WQHD (3440 x 1440) OLED Curved Gaming Monitor 240Hz, 1ms, NVIDIA G-Sync Compatible, AMD FreeSync Premium, VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400, webOS, USB Type-C, White

Love it. The screen real estate is huge. You can have three tabs across the screen during multitasking and it stays very usable. I personally wouldn’t recommend going any wider than this panel like some Samsung screens do. Any wider and it feels awkward to look at the left and right corners of the screen. This is a nice sweet spot for multitasking while also fits media like films fit better. The fact this is an Oled panel and 5k2k is the cherry on top. Unless you’re paying for a 6k screen this seems to be the best DPI that you can get at a reasonable price. One issue I did have is the dual mode. It’s rough. The way it scales the pixel resolution across the panel when changing to the higher refresh rate modes is terrible. I wish it would just give me black bars on the corners of the screen instead of scaling the resolution. “Optimum” on YouTube has a great video explaining this issue. I don’t play competitive games so to be it’s not such a big deal but can be for others. Also, the QR code and url address on the warranty card does not appear to be official LG. Be careful! I personally would not trust those links at all and instead recommend you go into LGs official website for warranty.

I really like the trade-off of super high quality and massive screen size with very high height. It's so great reading long text documents, AI outputs, and similar. I love using one screen and not split across multiple screens. The curve is not a bad thing, it is better, looks cool, and makes a lot of sense. The monitor turns on instantly and has no defects. Will buy LG in future, and update this comment if defects occur.

[Updated after ~200 hours of use] I am coming from a ~7yr old Asus 2k 144hz monitor that had been great, and purchased the LG Ultragear 5k2k model mostly for gaming, with a little bit of work/productivity on the side. The display is beautiful. Zero regrets there but for transparency I am not an experienced videophyle scrutinizing every facet of color gamut, brightness and contrast ratio. Immersive This word is used a lot by other reviewers and I agree but will also add a warning - if you are susceptible to visual disorientation this might not be a good thing. The experience is kind of "VR lite", or in other words gives you the sensation of movement when you are still. For some (me) this enhances the gaming experience but for many others could lead to feeling queasy. Just be aware of and think about your susceptibility to that before ordering. If you can get a little experience with a VR headset that is probably a good (albeit more extreme) indicator of how immersive and/or disorienting it will be for you. GPU demands A one year old high $ PC (i7, RTX5080, 64Gb RAM, etc) seems capable of pushing enough pixels to this monitor but at lower end settings. In more practical terms - I see 100+ FPS in Battlefield 6 but also see less detail at far out distances on the "map". The bad news is that this monitor requires a very expensive PC, the good news is that (hopefully) GPUs will grow into the capability over the next few years, making the monitor a good "investment" (not really but you get what I'm saying). [Update] I upgraded to an RTX5090. From what I could tell the 5080 bottleneck was at VRAM since it was using nearly 100% of its 16Gb during gaming. The visual symptom of it was that the "draw distance" of fine details was too close in/near. I could easily see "blocky" details in far distances due to the monitor's screen size and pixel density. The 5090 seems to have corrected that but at high cost. Other details The monitor shape has a funny side effect of echoing your voice back onto you. Minor nuisance while on voice/work calls that is easy to work around by moving your head out of the "dish" focal point. The inclusion of speakers allowed me to trash my little junk external speakers that I barely use (normally on headset for games). [After 200+ hours] 80-90fps with RTX5090 on Crimson Desert. I experience an occasional bug where the monitor is on, the PC input is selected but the display is black. It seems to occur most after switching inputs or being in power save mode and usually self corrects after a couple minutes. Still happy with the purchase but the monitor has ruined my experience with all other displays in the house. 77inch OLED TV seems tiny by comparison, because of the distance I sit from it.

Before your read this review, I am not a super serious gamer. I bought this monitor mostly for work and to play non-fps intensive strategy games like EU5. Eye fatigue, screen real estate, and resolution quality drove me to splurge on this monitor, and I am so glad I did. This monitor is insanely good and worth the price. I had an 49in UW Odyssey G9 before but this 45in Ultragear is leagues above that in almost every way. Resolution, screen real estate, ergonomics are all much better than any UW or even Apple monitor. First, the resolution makes a massive difference for someone like me who stares at a screen all day and night. My eye fatigue is significantly less at the end of the day since the 5k makes everything so sharp. I compared the resolution with my friends Apple 32in Pro Display XDR and some colors render richer, but not enough to matter for someone like me while also sacrificing screen real estate for much more money. Second on screen real estate, the 21:9 aspect ratio blows away any UW with 32:9. Your overall real estate is not just larger but the space is much more useful, especially if you are doing work on this monitor. And not having to twist your neck consistently to see the left or right windows is massive for ergonomics. Watch out though, this monitor will make every other monitor feel small and pointless, even the 32in Pro Display XDR. You won't be able to go back. So if you're reading this review, plan to use this monitor for the same things I do, and dancing around getting it because of the price - just do it. I wish I had done it months early instead of procrastinating about it. I have this connected to my MacBook Pro via USB-C and the compatibility is great but you need to use the BetterDisplay app for MacOS to get the best resolution. I can't speak for this monitors performance on fps-intensive games, but if you're staring at a screen all day for work and gaming at night, this monitor will make your life significantly better. I have never regretting paying to upgrade to the 5k2k Ultragear.

Probably the best gaming monitor I've ever owned. Wanted to upgrade from an Alienware DW34 OLED to this. Don't buy it if you own a Windows system, or LG's products in general right now. On Windows systems, this LG product will piggyback an installation through Windows updates that will download literal adware and spyware to your device without your consent or knowledge, giving you ads for things like McAfee directly to your computer, and being able to track your inputs and (in the case of their Smart TVs) listen to people around it to sell that data to whoever they want, possibly in violation of several wiretapping laws and multi-party consent states. This is a disgusting business practice that needs to be stopped. I don't want my neighbor to know what I am doing in my own home, it's why I have four walls and curtains on my windows separating me from everyone else. I sure as hell don't want some multi-billion-dollar company and whoever can pay them the most money to know either. Data breaches are commonplace. There is daily proof that absolutely no one can protect that sensitive information forever. Nowhere in the product's description as of the date of writing this does it mention this practice, provide a ToS, or any kind of consent request, nor do I think the practice will actually hold up in courts as legal once it is challenged, even with those warnings added. I paid for a $2000 gaming monitor. And yet LG wants me to continue to make them money after that purchase by pushing ads to the monitor and harvesting my data? A good image quality isn't worth compromising my safety, security and privacy. If you, fellow customer, want more information on what I mean, I suggest you check out GamersNexus' video on this exact subject on Youtube and their website.

So far it's a great monitor. So first of the sound.... Never had a monitor with speakers but these are loud and sound good. Not great like a headset but good enough when you want to give your ears a break. They are a little muffled due to beaing in the housing. Picture quality... It amazes me at the quality and sharpness of games even on 2560x1080 330hz mode. I have always wanted a widescreen 4k monitor when I seen this at another store on display I had to try it especially when it was on sale for 25% off. It didn't look as good in the store as it does at home. Search online for the best color settings and this monitor will surpass the DW3225qf in gaming. On paper the colors of a WOLED aren't as good as the QD OLED, but if you only use it for gaming that won't make a noticeable difference. The colors are still vibrant even in hdr. Final thoughts.... For some reason gsync doesn't work on the 3225QF as well as this monitor. Games at 240hz on the 3225QF had stutter and tearing. All the games I tested on this monitor are silky smooth. At 2560X1080 Battlefield 6 runs at 600 fps, almost 2x the refresh rate, but it's still smooth and no tearing. This is an amazing widescreen monitor I am glad I purchased.

I just upgraded my primary monitor to this "LG 45GX950A-B" (sometimes called "GX9" for short). Previously I was using an LG C2 OLED TV, so I will be comparing against that. [Text Rendering / Subpixel structure] The GX9 has a subpixel structure of "RGWB" (red-green-white-blue) which is better for sharp text rendering than most other OLED displays to date (including my C2 TV). This is because much text in major operating systems uses subpixel antialiasing which is normally tuned for an "RGB" subpixel structure. When the physical display panel differs from that, it causes color fringing around text edges. "RGWB" is a very similar layout, just having an extra white subpixel thrown in for additional brightness. [Refresh Rate / Dual Mode] Higher refresh rates are always nice, but increases are subject to diminishing returns. At the native resolution of 5120x2160, the maximum refresh rate is 165hz. This is barely distinguishable from 120hz in my opinion, and I am fairly sensitive to refresh rate differences. To access the 330hz refresh rate capabilities, you must enable one of the "dual mode" options in the monitor's menu, which allow the panel to be driven at 2560x1080 or 1920x1080 at 330hz using the full panel or smaller sections of the panel. I'll just say it. Most of the dual mode options look like garbage because only one or two of them use 1:2 integer scaling. For reasons unknown, none of the options allow you to display a 2560x1080 @ 330hz image at native scale (1:1 ratio, e.g. 22.5" diagonal). Most of the 330hz options are scaled up somewhere between a 1:1 and 1:2 ratio, which makes them look extra-bad. This was a missed opportunity. This is probably something they could change in a firmware update, but I wouldn't hold my breath for it. [The Curve] Curved displays are intended to keep the view distance consistent from one end of the display to the other. I love that aspect. Flat displays by comparison look silly and distorted once you get used to a curved display. The only issue for me is it makes a multi-monitor setup a little tricky because the edges of a large curved display stick in over your desk, so it is difficult to line up with the next monitor. [Matte Finish] The GX9 has a matte finish and it looks slightly worse to me than glossy finish my C2 TV had, but with such a curved display it is important to not be too glossy as you don't want strong reflections on a curved display. This is a good compromise. [VESA Mounting] I use an Ergotron HX mount with Standard Pivot for this monitor and it is natively compatible without an adapter like I needed for the C2 TV. [General Comments] I'm driving it with HDMI 2.1 from an RTX 4090 and had no issues. 165hz refresh rate works reliably, every time, as long as I don't bump the HDMI connectors. The GX9 has 125 PPI (pixels per inch), whereas a traditional desktop monitor is around 100 PPI. As such, desktop scaling of 125% is appropriate, but those with good eyes can use it just fine at 100% scale. There's a little quirk with playing Youtube videos in fullscreen mode. Most videos are not as wide as the panel, and Youtube's player fills in the edges with a gray gradient roughly matching the brightness of the content. Trouble is, the brightness of that gradient is constantly getting tweaked by the video player, and due to the high contrast ratio of this display, even the smallest brightness change in an 8-bit gray color is usually noticeable. The borders beside fullscreen youtube videos therefore tend to have visible banding and brightness changes much of the time.

Something that is extraordinary hard to gauge is a brand new piece of technology the day after you buy it. Yet, so many people do. I picked one up on sale about 4 months ago and really wanted to put it through its paces before getting to exited and quickly writing a less informed review. This won't be overly detailed but I'll hit the main points. 5120x2160 Resolution at 45" - 10/10 Glare/Screen Coating - 8/10 (prefer glossy) 800R curve - 8/10 (prefer slightly lesser curve) Respone time - 10/10 Build quality - 9/10 Ports - 8/10 (would like to see more HDMI 2.1) Color/Contrast - 9/10 (Post calibration) Stand - 10/10 (Small footprint very stable) Menu - 9/10 (Good OLED burn in prevention) Ambiance lighting - 4/10 (very dim lighting) Those are some of the key factors I think people might care about. I'm sure I missed a couple. At the end of the day this is an incredibly cool gaming experience but it does cost a pretty penny. For things like photo editing and productivity I would probably go with something different. Reason being is the curvature mostly. For things like photo editing the tight 800r curve warps the image ever so slightly and might not be good for that. For gaming it's a non-factor and in fact, the deep curvature really pulls you into the game and feels somewhat like VR. Very difficult to describe you kind of just have to experience it. At its massive 45" size the resolution is spot on. Even though you will need a pretty strong graphics card to drive it. Once I calibrated HDR in Windows and Nvidia Control panel, the color and contrast are great. It does take some extra dialing in to get it just right and that of course will depend on the lighting in the room you set up in. I have experienced zero mechanical issues like dead pixels or screen banding. If these ever come down to around $1,000 I would highly recommend it. At it's current price even as cool as it is I still think it's a bit to expensive. LG runs sales on these every couple months so just keep your eye out if you're interested in this model. About 4 months ago when I purchased it I got it for $1,300 which was the best sale I could find and to be fully honest I do not regret it. If this had a glossy screen option, slightly less curvature and a little price drop, it would be an easy 5 stars.

Amazing. This is my first monitor going into high res, ultra wide,and OLED. Absolutely stunning display. There is a review here where they suggest settings to really bring out the display and they really work. Stand is quite heavy and all metal. The super thin design makes it almost invisible on my desk. Speakers are ok for listening at soft volume but not much else. The 800r curve does take some getting use to but after a week, it feels odd using a flat screen after. 5k res looks so good. Really good pixel density. The main reason I jumped on this monitor was the shape I hate the typical ultra wide narrow rectangle. Especially when watching a movie or video because of the large black bars on the sides. This monitor has the best large screen. It also has extensive features in place to keep the screen in good shape and prevent burn in. 2 year warranty. My only complaint so far is that I think it should be brighter to keep up with Samsung and I wish the led backlights were brighter. Overall extremely happy with this. Try to snag it on sale for maximum value!

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.

Excelente compra. Lo fácil que es posicionarlo y reposicionar lo a. Cada momento dependiendo de como lo quiera, su curvatura elimina en su mayoría las incidencias de luz por lo que lo puedes usar en espacios abiertos con iluminación natural sin tener que subirle todo el brillo al monitor. Par AMI, valió mucho la compra

I see a few people saying this monitor looks washed out or faded out of the box but that’s just LG playing it safe for VESA compliance. It’s calibrated to pass certification, not to wow you. Here’s what you need to do the moment you unbox it for HDR On the hardware side (monitor settings) Gamer 1 profile Change Black Stabilizer to 25-30. The default is 50, and it makes everything look flat and hazy. Set Brightness to 100 and Peak Brightness to High. Sharpness : 50 Run the Windows HDR Calibration Tool. Minimum Luminance :0 Max luminance :1260 Full Frame Luminance: 270 (Optional): Run a manual screen refresh once if you notice banding out of the box. If you want more visual punch, switch to Gamer 2. but personally, I find it too oversaturated. Gamer 1, with the tweaks above, gives you clean contrast, natural skin tones, and sharp text clarity without sacrificing realism. After calibration, this panel looks stunning. The 800R curve is immersive... sit about 31 inches (80 cm) away for the best experience. Too close = eye strain, too far = immersion breaks. I came from a Samsung G9 OLED, and at first this didn’t look as punchy. But once I made these changes? It won me over. And unlike my G9, which failed just after the warranty expired, I feel much more confident with LG’s build. If you’re hesitant or waiting for Black Friday I got mine on Prime Day, and I have zero regrets.

Excel te producto estoy muy contento por la compra
