45GX90SA-B

I'm just letting you know I also returned my Gx9, bought a G5 55" for a cheaper price and have not regretted it once. The G5 is just on another level compared to the GX9. The brightness, the colors, the color saturation and even the screen coating is spectacular compared to the dull picture you get from a Gx9.

The immersion of the 45" I totally understand because I had a similiar feeling. But punchier picture/colors makes no sense to me. The 45" was so dull and I found the 39" so saturated that I had to tone down the contrast and Gamma in the Nvidia control panel (rip). What game mode and picture settings are you using?

The curve on the 45 is also a tad bit aggressive imo

I agree but I still found it too extreme, ultimately. One of the reasons I ended up returning the 45". The 39" is perfect, in that respect.

I picked the exact same monitor and I am typing on it now. It's clear as a bell. I didn't want the stupid built in OS so this was better than last years model. I bought this for gaming and after watching a few reviews about the 5k2k not scaling well for lower resolutions I bought this because I can actually run games in the native resolution without upscaling. With the 5k2k I was planning on just scaling down to 3440x1400 anyways but happy I just bought it native. Super happy I did. It's basically a perfect match for my system (Ultra 265 + RTX 5070). I also got a smoking deal on this monitor. If offered a 5k2k for trade on this one to one, I don't know if I would even do it, I have the resolution I want with no scaling and 240hz native instead of 165hz.

I got the 45inch 3440 1440 version so I can run native without scaling. Saved money also higher refresh rate.

For Gaming the 45 is superior. Both are good for productivity but the 39" is going to be a sweeter spot.

I play COD Warzone. Its glorious.

I had this same debate and I went 45”, the monitor not being tall enough was my biggest complaint with a 34” Ultrawide. I wasn’t gonna go bigger unless it was taller. 800r is aggressive but I don’t mind it at all.

For space-related reasons, I also use a single-screen setup. I opted for the LG 45GX90SA and don't regret it in the slightest. it offers more vertical height than a 34-inch 21:9 monitor.

Purely for sim racing? I’d go the 49 inch for sure. You don’t need lots of vertical FOV but you do want lots of horizontal FOV. I ran a 21:9 and a 32:9 for racing and I’d pick the 32:9 anytime if u can’t run triples
