LG 45GR65DC-B Ultragear Curved Gaming Monitor 45-Inch 32:9 QHD 200Hz 1ms UltraWide Display AMD FreeSync Premium Pro VESA DisplayHDR 600 HDMI 2.1 x2 DP UBS x3 Tilt/Height/Swivel Stand - Black

I was struggling at work with 2 older 22 inch monitors. I purchased this monitor and I am blown away. It fits well on my desk with the one exception that I keep it so close to me that I smack my fingers on the bottom of it when I raise my hands. I really love that this thing is so wide. You can use windows left / right key to dock screens to the left or right and it feels like two monitors. I do not play games on this so I did not spend the $$$$$ to get an OLED and it is beautiful.

Love this monitor. Perfect for what i need

This monitor was a lot lighter than expected. It was very easy to assemble as well. It supports "Picture By Picture" so you can have two or more video inputs going in to this monitor and then display them side-by-side. The response time is great and I haven't noticed any ghosting.One thing I will note: I did have to update my motherboard BIOS for this monitor to work. It doesn't make sense to me, but if I booted up my PC with this thing plugged in, not a single display would work. If I shut down, unplugged this monitor, then booted back up it would be fine. I didn't even see my BIOS POST screen when this happened so I figured it was something to do with my motherboard and not Windows. After a BIOS update my computer works fine with the monitor. For reference, my motherboard is the X570 AORUS ELITE WIFI. Hopefully this review helps someone with the same issue.

I purchased two 34 in monitors one Asus and Gigabyte both with multiple dead and open pixels on both. Frustrating.People need to understand what 32:9 format is. THIS IS NOT 3440x1440p. So the screen isn't that tall. This is 5120x1440p. You are getting double the width compared to 16:9 on the screen or 25% more compared to 3440x1440p. Many games don't support it but there are work arounds. I mainly game and have a 6800XT which works decent enough for most games. You want to have at least a 6800XT or 4070, to use this monitor as anything less for modern world open games will get around 40 fps. The 6800XT plays Cyberpunk and Red Dead 2 pretty well with the graphics turned to high. Around 50-60 fps. If you have a 4080, 7900XTX then you will achieve high frames for this monitor which is really the way to go for gaming on this monitor.I went ahead and dropped $700 for this one for that reason and luckily no dead pixels. It does have some light bleed but not too bad compared to my LG 32 in VA 144 hertz monitor this 45 inch is replacing. The brightness on this monitor is much brighter than my other 3 monitors I have. HDR 600 is something most will probably not notice compared to HDR 400. When you step up to HDR 1000 you can see the difference. I didn't go with OLED because of burn in. Though oleds have come a long way VA panels for me is the best gaming monitor. VA panels have came a long way as well as it's getting harder to distinguish VA from IPS panels. Playing Red Dead Redemption 2 with this monster is a sight to behold in its full glory. Big difference compared to my 32 in LG. Feels so immersive. The only problem with this size of a monitor is having to literally move your head to see things but you do feel like your in the game with its curve at 44.5 inch display size. Not many games support this like Elden Ring which I find is just wrong for any modern AAA asking price. There are fixes for some but still disappointing. The local dimming I found no problems as of yet. Seems to work OK. Has a headphone jack placed on bottom of monitor. (The people who complain about ghosting is because they have the setting turned to "FASTEST" in the menu, you WANT IT ON FASTER which in turn makes the ghosting no where near as noticeable)

Great Monitors. Help with eye strain and are a great alternative to multiple displays.

Disclaimer: I'm down to one far from perfect eye, so my review will intentionally avoid matters of image quality, as I'm hardly qualified to judgeI've had this monitor for two weeks now. I needed more screen real estate than my 27" flat could provide, so I gave this a shot. I realized once it arrived that it was almost exactly the size of two 27" monitors side by side, for some perspective.The included stand is very sturdy. It's heavy, has a broad base, and an adjustable VESA standard mount, and I quickly replaced it with an arm mount because it simply took too much of my limited desk space (yes, I have more monitor space than desk space). But it's not a bad stand if you don't mind its legs sprawling across the desk.Brightness is good, although I haven't had to have this in anything like direct sunlight. Unlike my last monitor, an Acer which didn't want to display anything until the computer had been sending a video signal for a minute or two. this doesn't fail to work because of power saving features and just turns on. I have no complaints with the picture, not that I'm difficult to please there.I'm thinking about buying a second one for a ton of screen space, which is about the highest recommendation I can give to something I've owned for two weeks.Something for PC gamers to remember: if you're playing games in the max screen resolution, it's pretty taxing on the hardware. With the same graphics settings on Cyberpunk, going from the 27" monitor on 1440p to 5120 x 1440 on this dropped my FPS from about 170 to 70

The form factor is the first problem with this monitor. It's FAR too wide for how short it is. You get about 12" of usable height in the panel, that's smaller than the height of a 27" 16:9 monitor. You don't realize it until you use it how small this thing actually is. The LG software is junk, will let you create "snaps" in windows so it can remember where you like stuff but doesn't really give you proper options (like having a 16:9 window dead center rather than to the left or right). Mine flickered and my windows jumped around on their own, not sure if this was a bad monitor or bad software but either way it went right back in the box to be returned.Don't be foolish like me and ignore the "frequently returned" flag this monitor has on it here, there is a reason so many people return these.
