UltraGear 45" OLED Curved WQHD 240Hz 0.03ms G-Sync Compatible 800R Curved Gaming Monitor with Built-in Speakers

Nice, got it aswell, the first one of their 45 inch lines.. they work like a charm

Guys I keep reading about a 39” 1500R LG coming … I have the 45GS96QB - the model OP has is a newer one right, with 5k2k? And this year the new one is 39” 1500R and tandem? Are there any updates planned for the 45” with 800R or is the 39” the new flagship with no 800R planned? Definitely don’t wanna give up that curve. It’s amazing.

Good ol' 45GR96QB

You can check my earlier post for reference—I picked up a different model from the same series, the 45GS96QB. It’s absolutely stunning for gaming. Surprisingly, it’s also been great for productivity—I originally bought it for games but now find myself using it even more for coding and working through Excel files. Some people mention that text can appear slightly blurry, but adjusting the text size to 110% in the accessibility settings really helps—it looks sharp and comfortable. Highly recommend going for it!

You might not even like curved, i thought 1800r would be perfect until i eventually realized i prefer flat.. That was the conclusion of three 34" ultrawides later, 1000r, 1500r and 1800r. But to answer, yes there are currently two 45" Oled bendable ultrawides, they can be adjusted from flat to curved. LG UltraGear™ OLED GX9 45GX990A (45" 2160p) CORSAIR XENEON FLEX (45" 1440p)

I'm using a 45GS96QB from Lg, but they have plenty of monitors with similar specs. I'm upscaling the resolution to 5160x2160 and it's probably 95% as good as the 5k2k but I only paid 600 for it. I've been extremely pleased so far, it's the best looking monitor I've ever owned.

This is why the Lg 45" series of monitors is superior to any 32:9 49" monitor. You get the 21:9 aspect ratio, but also the screen is 12% larger overall despite being 4" shorter width wise. I picked up a barely used 45GS96QB off of Facebook marketplace for $600 and I'm absolutely loving it. I'm upscaling the resolution to 5160x2160 because the native resolution is only 3440x1440, but it still looks amazing and I can't recommend it enough.

Well I got a 49" 32:9 oled with a refresh rate of 240hz and curve of 1800R which is more suitable for me than the IPS panel Dell that you linked me. For you not to miss out on the point, there are dual purpose users who game and work on same monitor, we want OLED, we want curved, we want high refresh rate. It's not away from you for us to ask that we could get one monitor that hits these, as there are iterations of oled and versions of these requirement already existing, but nobody makes one. People are so hyperfocused on their own agenda they fail to understand other peoples need. There is a market for gamers, there is niche market for ultrawiders, and there is an even smaller market for extreme immersion superultrawide gamers who only game and do nothing else (simmers + fps). Now that this group has got their monitor, why are you so against for dual purpose monitor users? When ultrawides were created back in the day, more than half the people were dual purpose users, maybe the percentage isnt the same anymore, but why should you cram everyone under the same category as gamers just because it is this way?

For gaming its hand down a really good option, one of the best. I tried the GX950 over a weekend, but found the ’gaming curve’ as I like to call it too aggressive for some productivity work. Of course it could do that, but it always felt like a compromise becuse of the curve. GX990 would have been a good contender, however it seems to be swallowed by the archives as I find no page for it in LG Displays websites. I do wish someone on LG or Samsung read these threads so more companies would consider making a 1000-1200R ultrawides too.

People tend to forget when they are mentioning the optimal viewing distance and angles is that people use these monitors. People who have preferences. Just because every pixel is theoretically the same distance away from your eyes doesn't mean its comfortable for everyone. The area of sharp vision at arm's length is about the size of you thumb, and sitting inside a 180° curved monitor straight in the sweet spot may be optimal viewing distance to all pixels, doesn't still make it comfortable if you need to turn your head every time you wanna see something to your side. This is over exaggerated but you might get the point. Everybody going to the cinemas has their preferred viewing distance to the screen which may be flat or curved. I for example sit at the very back, so I wouldn't need to turn my head compared if I sat in the front row. This correlates to my monitor distance. My viewing distance is suboptimal, with a 49" 1800R monitor currently at my disposal, but for my use its the perfect for me. Sit back, see every pixel just by turning your eyes, not your head. I've had crt-monitors of 17" to 21", flat panel monitors from 21,5" to 32" in ips, va, tn and oled. Curved monitor ranging from 27" to 49" with curvatures from 800R to 1800R. Im just pointing this out that tech evolves, I've tried it 'all'. We are currently at a point where the curvature options have stagnated as tech companies cram ultrawide users under the same category, as gamers. And there are a lot of gamers, with lots of preferences. Optimal curvature doesn't mean perfect for everyone.

Is it me or are you missing the point here. You explaine how curved screens and peripheral vision interpretates the pixel, but as I said, just because a parabolic screen with the optimised viewing distance in theory gives the 'ultimate immersion' which might be a cool thing for gaming, there are people among us who would like to game and work on the same monitor, which is quite frankly awful with 800R monitor. These people face 2 choices now, first of which is to just endure the the VR-like immersion wrapping monitor which does not play well with productivity workloads where your focus is not to spot moving enemies or elements on the peripheral vision, but to see the work as in screen space with minimal effort. Second option is to buy a productivity monitor or older style IPS VA you name it panel with more suitable curvature for dual purpose. For these individuals, there is no middle ground, where they could enjoy refresh rate oled monitors, with a flatter curve of lets say 1200R. Why cant these people get to enjoy the amazing OLED technology without sacrificing the comfort, just because they haven't released a lesser curved monitor. To end this debate, we are here to speak out that there has been ultrawides for decades, and multitaskers have used them, and we want a suitable oled for multitask / dual purpose use monitor in OLED.
