LG - 45GR75DC-B

I have this connected to my CalDigit TS3+ that is plugged into my surface laptop and only serves my needs for work, nothing else - it’s overkill for work but a game changer for sure and affordable considering its specs LG 45GR75DC https://a.co/d/i21rSfl

Just posted this to a similar thread: Recently went down the "affordable ultrawide for work" rabbit hole after my Samsung G9 OG kicked the bucket. Ended up landing on the 45GR75DC-B. Less aggressive curve (1500R) and slightly reduced physical width but those work well with the same 5120x1440 resolution to achieve a higher PPI version of what I was working with before. Its also a much lighter package, has USB C 90 watt power delivery, not OLED (I was concerned with burn in from days long sessions) and up to 200mhz refresh rate while it came in at $799 which was good value versus the others I had been considering. Been pretty pleased with it overall so far, but still early on with it.

I have the same use case and am extremely happy with the LG 45GR75DC-B. My gaming rig is connected via DisplayPort and my work laptop connects via USB-C/DP with 90W power. My mouse and keyboard are connected to the monitor and it acts as a KVM to switch with the inputs. 45” 5120x1440 monitor feels perfect. The 49” was a bit too big for my taste and the same resolution at 45” feels like the perfect sweet spot in terms of pixel density. It is a VA panel, but I haven’t experienced any smearing or poor response times in games like PoE, Deadlock, or Overwatch. I did tons of research and landed here because I needed a resolution of 5120x1440, USB-C with power delivery, and have the monitor make my games look and feel good. This one checks all the boxes.

I love it, for my uses. My M2 Mac mini had 32" Dell Ultrawide (HDMI 3440x1440 60Hz) and a 45" LG Ultrawide (DP 5120x1440 60Hz). The HDMI wouldn't do 5120x1440. I recently upgraded to the M4 Pro Mac mini and it's running the same monitors but with the inputs reversed, because the Dell can only do 60Hz, and the LG can do 200Hz, which it now does, over HDMI. I do believe the base M4 Mac mini can run this same setup.

Don't get an OLED, as good as it is for gaming and movies it is bad to read texts on. Samsung odyssey g9 or lg UW dual qhd, both are great

The LG 45". I got two its awesome:)

I'm using a 49" G9 and it's not "tall" enough (in pixels), plus it's not OLED. I think the LG 45" fixes both of those things for me! I really like the 1000R on the G9 so I'm excited about 800R, but haven't seen it in person yet.

Why not use both. I own the ultra gear 45 curved i plan on stacking a g9 on top of that. Thought it would look cool but after reading all this seems I'll have that be my dedicated pc monitor instead

you can usually catch a samsung g95c for like 799 on amazon 49" 240hz 5120x1440 at 32:9 i loved mi e but the VA panel died after 3 years but over 15000 hours of uptime. I wouldnt go less than the lg 45" for a true bezel-less dual monitor experience
