UltraGear 45GR95QE-B

It’s a great monitor but I used it for all of a couple hours this afternoon and already decided to send it back. I’m 100% productivity at the moment with a M3 Mac Pro and 250 nits peak brightness in SDR mode is terrible. (Also made my eyes hurt) I didn’t care for the 800R curve either. Hoping the rumored 39” improves on the GX45 specs with a bump in brightness, PPI, and a less aggressive curve. Until then looks like I’m sticking with my U4025QW.

I can answer this! For some games, particularly those that are not that competitive, and have DLSS built in, it’s excellent and I play battlefield 6, and The Finals, in 5K2K. The 165 doesn’t really affect my gameplay. BUT, for Destiny 2, I do feel sometimes that the lower HZ affects my shots. I tend to put it down to 1080p, 300FPS and se to get better shot registration. Same is true for CS2 and valorant as well, overwatch the same. So if you want the flexibility to have the most immersive 4K UW experience AND high refresh rate 1080p competitive FPS, it’s very good. But if you know you really only want the competitive FPS gameplay I’d rather have 1440p, 500+hz monitor, or maybe the new pulsar monitors.

I think the final point on these monitors is well stated in this review, very good and offer a unique experience, but 165hz is not adequate in 2026. Until we get 360hz 4K I don’t think we can talk endgame. I have the 45” version and I’ll keep it bc there are situations where the widescreen immersion is worth the trade of worse motion clarity, but it is a trade, not a no compromise win.

Currently running a 45GR95QE - it's elite for gaming, but for work, especially coding, the resolution at this size is not ideal. The 39" would be a massive upgrade for productivity!

Most retailers have generous return periods. I’ve bought the monitor and tried it out for a week or 2 to decide if I wanted (I did not with the 45gx9) so I just packed it up and took it back for a full refund at best buy.

I’ve returned multiples of these just to pick it up again. But not for the same reasons as yours. I just have a hard time getting used to matte WOLED coming off of glossy QD OLED.

I only have the 1440p model, but the 45 inch 800r form factor is literal perfection for gaming.

Bro the monitor is LEGENDARY for any kind of strategy or 4x games. I play Anno and civ and it's mesmerizing

I’ve gone with the 45GR95QE on my racing sim rig only because it was 21:9 and provided a bit more vertical screen space compared to a 32:9. Monitor itself is great and love using it! I still rock two monitors (24” 1080p landscape primary and 24”1080p portrait secondary) for my current dev work. I’m a bit too hard stuck with using the primary monitor for what I actively want to focus on and the second monitor to store tabs or windows I’m not currently using. I tried using the LG for dev work before putting it in the rig and not having the clear separation threw me way off!

I don't know what OP is smoking but we have the numbers for the new QD-oleds, the Asus and MSI. They're both not even close to being as bright as LAST YEARS 45GX9 in brightness tests. I have had both the 45" and 39" and I can assure you this new 39" tandem variant is superior to last years model. For reference, I also have the LG G5 and this 39GX9 is comparable (not better) to that by color volume and color brightness.
