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.
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.

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.

Huge, immersive OLED, but 800R curve distorts productivity.
