LG - 45GX90SA-B

As a GX9 user, I love the extra height. I use it for photo editing and doing some video editing on resolve. It’s really good, the space helps a lot.

Almost all of them? Not many ultrawide monitors are smart TVs. Even my cutting edge LG GX9 OLED has no smart system, no internet connection, no apps, etc. Same with Samsungs ultrawide and Alienware ultrawides. And most others. Are you running into this issue a lot?

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/)

Currently using a 40" 4k ultrawide with a 1500r curve. That 45" 800r LG seems perfect but I just can't justify the purchase with how expensive it is and how decent what I already have is Also your picture shows your ignorance of the fact that monitor arms exist

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!!!

I initially got interested in ultra wide screens from promos on 49 inchers, but felt they were not tall enough for their width. Now I have an LG 21:9 45 inch and it seems just right.

I have gone back and forth with this same question. I currently have a 32" 4k oled but tried the updated aw3425dw. To me, a 34" 1440p display makes everything feel super small. You get extended peripheral, but the view in front of you is reduced. I noticed myself looking up and down way more on the 34" to be able to see everything, which I found annoying. (Destiny, Oblivion, diablo 4, warzone). I have the older 1440p lg 45" and the larger screen and sharp curve are great. (Personal preference). I would be running the new 45" 5k2k if my rig could get more than 60frames. (4080 laptop)

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.

I am planning on making the switch from the 57" Samsung to the 45" LG. I have had the 57" since launch a couple of years ago in the US, and it was amazing to have such resolution and space. The HDR brightness is quite blinding at times when in a dark room, and finally being able to at least support 240Hz with the latest 50 series GPUs is nice. But blooming even with as many dimming zones as this screen has is still not great compared to OLED, since I play quite a few dark games, it can be quite noticeable. The smaller screen size might not be great, as I tried this once when I went from a 49" G9 Mini-LED to the 34" Alienware OLED, and I did not like the size downgrade. But seeing the LG in person at a Best Buy made it seem a bit better, and it would be as bad, so I will have to see. I am looking forward to trying it and maybe trying the dual mode functionality to see if 330Hz is worth it in games, but overall, I am looking forward to using OLED for my monitor. Also, getting a decent deal at almost $700 off made it at least worth a try for me.
