LG - 45GR75DC-B

The only challenge with the LG 45” could be achieving acceptable curve distortion correction. The trick is that the closer you sit, the less noticeable the distortions are. [45″ 800R vs 49″ 1800R](https://simrigbuild.com/comparisons/45uw-800r-60-vs-49uw-1800r-60/)

I have 2 45" LG Ultrawides- the new 5K2K and last years 1440p. Both are outstanding. The additional height is a much more functional use of space vs. additional width.

Yeah, it's pretty noticeable if you have them side by side. The 1440p is an awesome monitor, but the PPI is pretty low. If it was a TV that you were sitting a bit further back from, I don't think it would be as noticeable, but up close, the extra pixels in the 5k2k make a noticeable difference.

Yes, but 4K @ 165hz is good enough for me. I can’t tell the difference between 165 & 330hz.

It’s great LG is doing this and you can see they have interest in their customers…. Never saw this done by the other brands… to be honest I had the 2023 45 ultragear and love it, I game 80% and 20 % media. I’m tempted to upgrade but I live in Spain so 2k is a lot of money. But will update eventually if I manage to find a buyer for 2023 version…. Thanks for doing this!!!

If you have a 5090, run dldsr and set the resolution to 5120x2160 on your 1440p monitor. I have the older LG 45" and am running it at 5120x2160 and it looks great with my 7800x3d and 5090

I was debating for a long time between the 49" 32x9 Samsung or the 45" 21x9 lg, I went with the 45" since it's actually bigger. Also most game recognizes the 21x9 ratio. The aspect ratio of the 49" is not as common. Also the 49" runs hot. I went to the local best buy and I can really feel the heat even in a normal functioning distance, something to be aware of.

Check eBay, got my 45” curved LG for $368

5k2k without a doubt. I bought the LG 45 1440 and returned it a few weeks later for the 5k2k and it’s bliss. Go with the monitor.

I think for gaming the 45" and I have that and love it for gaming. Tried to use it for productivity and it was just kinda weird. The 49" would be great for productivity and you can probably snap it to have 3-4 web browsers/applications open and it would be good. It is not as high as the 45" but I think that helps a lot for productivity. I have a 34" for work and it's great I'd imagine the 49" just adds another 2 workable windows.

45". The added height makes a huge difference.

I have the 45 and it's quite nice. I couldn't imagine having a monitor that's like 4 inches high lol.
