I've been using the LG45GX950 for a couple of weeks myself. I'm in the process of testing it to the best as my ability allows, but I have a few initial thoughts: There's a few things I don't like about this monitor - though ultimately I'm enjoying the upgrade to 5120x2160 at 165hz! The PPI, HDR, text, and overall display quality is a massive upgrade in comparison to the previous generation 45GR95QE with it's larger pixel density I think the curve should be slightly less aggressive, for starters. The bendable version of this display coming later this year won't have this problem. I think this resolution would be much better in a 39" or 40" size display My other prime annoyance might sound like a nothingburger to most users, but I found one feature that the 45GR95QE had to be very useful that the 45GX950A lacks - that is, the inclusion of a remote control. It's a lot easier to navigate the OSD with a remote, and you don't have to be right next to the screen to change those settings if you have a remote - and personally, I don't like using a screen this big at the distance you would use a normal monitor. One of the reasons I enjoy a larger screen is the ability to use it from a further distance. Also I'm one of those users who prefers to adjust brightness levels multiple times in the day, depending on what I'm doing. That's much easier with a remote control.

I have a 4070 Super that I use with my LG 45GS95QE (1440p version of the 45"), and I feel that for this specific GPU, you can't get a whole lot better visuals. Sure, you could run it at 4k. But at the cost of a LOT of frames. The 4070S is really the perfect 1440p GPU. If you want to go 4k or even 5k2k, it would be a waste without also upgrading your GPU.

I have a 4090 and downgraded from a LG CX 48" (4K widescreen) to my current 45GS95QE (1440p ultrawide). The main reasons are that: 1. I care about frame rate more than resolution. Maintaining 100+ FPS is important to me. 1440p ultrawide is 5 million vs 8 million pixels for 4K. You can expect ~1.7x more frames with 1440p ultrawide vs. 4K. 2. I had been using a custom ultrawide resolution on the LG CX already and enjoyed the immersion from the extra width. However, the CX is flat and the distortion was a pain. The curve on the 45GS95QE basically eliminated the distortion to improve immersion.

Might I propose an alternative: LG 45GS95QE and similar. 45” 21:9 really is game changing in terms of immersion. It fills your vertical field of view so much better than any super Ultra Wide. Neither of them will be technically wide enough to help you see your side view mirrors for one monitor. And for people that say, vertical height doesn’t matter as much, it doesn’t as long as you can properly scale what you’re seeing on the screen. I guarantee you in an actual racing car you have more vertical height than what you would get from a 49 inch monitor. The 45 inch ultra wideis very close though.

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

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.
