amazing monitor

I bought this in order to get rid of the dual monitors. I am somewhat OCD and like everything to be level, so when my monitors would tilt, it would annoy me and I would spend 15 minutes trying to get them back to perfect level. So I eventually bought this and love it so far. I work from home and game a little, so I use this a lot. Simple to switch between my PC and my work laptop, or have them up side by side with PIP/PBP.However, if you’re a gamer who is used to having their game take up one whole screen, and prefer it to look that way, then be warned. I would love to have my game take up half the screen (border to border) with the other half open for discord or other chats, but most games I play don’t allow that. So you’ll be playing in a window that’s not touching the edges of your screen.

Works great! Easy to setup. Looks great. Quite happy with it.

I’m using this as a display for a laptop running Linux. I have a lot of extra real estate on one screen. This is what I was expecting. What I wasn’t expecting is I’m noticing a drastic performance boost for games. I think this has more to do with the laptop display being disabled so no power is going to it and all the power that was going to it now go to the other computing resources. Needless to say I’m quite happy with this purchase.

Game changer — replaced a trio of monitors with one

After years of trying to fit windows on one of several monitors (so they did not spread across 2 monitors), I purchased a 4k 42” monitor. That was much bigger, of course, but the windows at the top of the screen were so high they were harder to read (fine print) and caused neck strain. This one seems perfect. It fits on my desk, and there is lots of room to place windows for productivity, lab use (many windows for various instruments), and yes, gaming. I’m happy to report that my graphics card (RTX 4080) easily drives this at native resolution, at over 100 fps except for insane boss fights in raids (and some of that could be the CPU).That said it does not appear to be an OLED display (I could be wrong, read the specs), The blacks do not seem to be as black as the blacks on the RAZER 27” this replaced.

Much better than dual 24”!

I grew tired of the dual setup of 24” monitors. I felt like there was a lot of wasted space and I couldn’t really work with 3 separate windows very efficiently, so I wanted something bigger. A 49” was just a hair too big for me to fit with my Klipsch bookshelf speakers on my desk, so I landed on this 45” unit. This model was on sale vs the cheaper version (same picture quality) so I went with this, otherwise I just would have bought that one. It works exactly as I expected, plenty of room to have 3 windows open with almost full view of each. Colors are great, contrast is great, viewing angles are great, and the price wasn’t too bad. I would suggest you just go with a 49” if you have the space though. The price is maybe $100 more and at this price point just go for it.

Fantastic price, great performance

Still getting used to a screen as big as my desk, but as I’m learning about the personalization features, this is changing my work life for the better.

A Must Have in 2024

I purchased this monitor to upgrade from my single 27″ [regular] widescreen monitor. I wasn’t so much going after gaming as much as needing more monitor real-estate. This monitor barely fits on my desk, but it looks so amazing and is more functional that my wife stopped using her desk with dual ultrawide monitors (not as wide) and has been using my desk with this single ultrawide monitor.This is the future of computing.Now if I can convince my manager at work to upgrade my work monitors to this one…

No Speakers

Great graphics but there are no speakers for this monitor and you cannot find any speakers to connect to it.

Much to consider

Buyer beware this monitor does not have the same rear LEDS or remote controller as the more premium 49 inch version.The monitor certainly offers many positives for anyone looking to increase their productivity and looks great on general tasks.However, Its taking my 7800xt for a ride when playing some games. On any less demanding games like apex or forza it seems to perform as expected. But when i try to play games like cyberpunk or my favorite hunt showdown i definitely experience significant frame drops and ghosting.Had i purchased this outside of the sales event and spent the 700 dollars i would have returned it by now. At $522 dollars im still considering keeping it. Cannot recommend it to anyone who has a lower grade graphics card.*Update*After four days of trying it it’s just not good for gaming. From ghosting to heavy screen bleeding. I returned it and would encourage anyone considering it who plays gpu heavy games to stay away from it. It’s a good price but there’s better out there.

Love at first sight!

I’m software developer. This is what I needed 20 years ago… 🙂

Took me two years to find one I like!!!!

Two yers ago when I bought my new Mac I loved it and still do!! I just wanted more screen Real estate as my brother. 🙂 I looked and looked for two year!! I wanted something that could keep up with the specs of my Mac when it comes to the refresh rate. My Mac runs at 120HZ the monitor can run up to 200HZ my main computer can support it up to 144HZ and it is a 2021. Even my brother who is more picky than me said 144HZ is plenty. When it comes to computers I would say he’s right. I love how light is was when lifting it. It only took a few to set up! I know the price tag was definitely steep, but it literally came with every type of connection in the box that you may need depending on your current set up to use it as a secondary monitor or even your main monitor. I myself needed a USB – C connector, and it came right in the box and the cord was actually a fair decent length not like those short ones that have come in other items that I have purchased in the past. It was literally plug-in and play. You can’t beat that! If you’re anything like me, and use the, type to text make sure you change the settings back to using the built in mic. That would have been a dealbreaker for me if the computer wouldn’t have been able to pick up my dictation of having the monitor connected. Luckily, it was an easy fix. You might have to restart your computer. Once you change the settings only had this thing for two full days, and I do not regret it, you can see the photos. It is a bit of a space hog but I do have a wall coming for it later today.

wow not bad for the price, Discount Samsung G9 for sure!

Yes this is a monster, way wider than my 40″ 4K LG HDTV. One thing for sure is all the bells and whistle of a gaming monitor for a sub-800 price. Beating most midrange 21:9/Ultrawide out of the water!Pros:It’s wide!Feels like a Samsung Neo G9! at 1/2 the price!Cons:-Too wide! Not enough content, and you have to windowless fullscreen if you multitask/watch YT while gaming.-It’s not edgeless or near borderless it has a small 1/8th or 3/16th of an inch border as well as a mis-alignment, maybe I have to fix it with the settings, but my cursor goes 2-3 mouse clicks away from screen. Maybe it’s a nvidia thing I have to fix in windows.-Wish it was a bit taller by 3-5 inches, So I feel like 21:9 is actually a ratio I want instead of 32:9.-FOV/zoom effects a bit jarring for people whom aren’t used to curved/widescreen monitors. Even in flat games like RTS there’s a bit of a fisheye/distortion that people have to get used too.-Not OLED

Meets my needs and surprised me

So I was curious about this and pulled the trigger on buying it. Bare in mind there are games and apps that don’t support ultra wide screens fully. The games that do are insane. You can use it as a dual screen or do PIP. I have no issues on the picture quality. I’ve noticed no lag. My new PC paired with this I can do epic graphics and 120+fps on most games on 5120 x 1440 resolution. Well worth the investment. If it’s your only monitor. Be aware you will not fill the screen with any video streaming services and such. They only go so high on resolution. But if you don’t mind the sides being filled with black sections your good then.However, if you can grab some ultra wide supported wallpapers that are particularly scenic. It’s beautiful. The HDR helps with the color too and makes it so vibrant.

Not bad at all.

I use this monitor for gaming mainly. I switched from a 65 inch S90C OLED TV to this due to some burn in. I didn’t want to ruin my overpriced TV so I hunted down monitors and was very curious about a “Super Ultra Wide” Curved gaming monitor. So far I can say that my frame rates are capable of 200FPS with the new monitor versus the 144FPS I was getting on the TV. The picture is very nice, not as shockingly good as my TV was but the frame rates are more impressive which I have found to be more important to me for gaming.There are some drawbacks however. Being the aspect ratio that it is, it will make it feel like the top and bottom are kind of cut-off while you get a massive peripheral expansion. If you watch any videos, it will be like you are watching them on a very small screen. I have also noticed that when my mouse pans across a black screen, it will cause this white glow from top to bottom and about 3-4 inches wide everywhere the mouse goes. I honestly do not even really notice that the screen is even curved when I am using it, so I am unsure how I feel about if the curve is truly doing anything for my gaming experiences.I can say that the operation of the monitor itself is fantastic once you figure out how to monkey around with the settings and get them where you want them. (Little joystick/button under the center of screen).For the price, and the quality I feel like this monitor is worth it if you are looking for something that is “Super Ultra Wide”. I haven’t had it terribly long so I can’t speak to “burn-in” or any longevity issues just yet, but so far I really do like it for what it is. I also won’t be nearly as upset if something goes wrong with it as compared to my TV that costs more than triple the price. If you are trying to use it for more than work/games however, I can say the picture is nice but will be VERY small in comparison to larger vertical ratio screens. It’s like having two 27 inch monitors connected or something.

Exceeds Expectations!

Had to retire my Apple Thunderbolt display after 12+ years. And Chose this as my replacement. Mostly for Development work. But a bit of gaming. After all the reviews, I was concerned about the height, curve and possible dead pixels. But all concerns were non-existent. This monitor is amazing. The curve is very slight and perfect for my desk and viewing angle. The height is a tiny bit smaller than my thunderbolt display, but the vertical resolution is the same and I barely notice. For database and development work it, this is a dream. The picture is crisp and I can fit 3 nice sized windows on the screen with plenty of room. There are 2 negatives, but nothing really to do with the monitor, just issues I didn’t think about. 1) no camera so I had to buy a webcam to sit on top and 2) on video calls, I can no longer share my entire screen, because my monitor is to large. I have to share an individual window. Oh and now my wife is jealous and wants one.Overall, I could not be more pleased.

Best screen resolution for WFH!

The media could not be loaded.

I really like this wide 45” monitor. I’m impressed how well it meets my expectations for WFH. I had the old Dell 27” dual monitors with low resolution making my eyes strain all day. Now I’m able to work on three web pages at the same time and read documents in words and PDF. I’m impressed that the monitor has different settings ranging from gaming to reading. During the set up I only had to adjust the screen resolution and brightness. The resolution is so bright and sharp and makes reading documents easier. The new wide monitor and the old monitor are connected to the Dell docking station and it works perfectly. The monitor is pretty impressive for the cost. It’s a win-win situation for myself and my wallet. It has made my work more productivity. I’m a happy WFH employee. Keep the package box in case if you plan on moving!

Wow!

I was hesitant to get such a large monitor but holy smokes was it worth it. For context I upgraded from a 27″ 1080p 60hz monitor to this and wow, night and day. I thought I would miss the height of my old monitor but not in the slightest. The added screens off to the side really enhance any game that will support it (which for me means Xbox PC Game Pass). And for work essentially gives me another screen to use. The dual input also allows me to pull up my work computer and personal computer to the same time! I also went ahead and bought the UltraGear 24″ to match as a vertical monitor off to the side!Oh also this monitor for being as big as it is, is only 13lbs which means the monitor arms I had worked just fine!

for the price.. it’s mute and the 1000 curve has alot ..alot of colorshift

for the price..the colors can be mute in the 1/3 right in front of you .. the 1000 curve is not good.. there’s so much color shift ..if they made it a 1600 curve,. it would probably solve that issue.I like it, but the color shift drives me crazy.

Great improvement over dual monitors

I recently replaced my dual monitor setup with the LG 45GR665DC-B and thus far, I’ve been very happy with the decision. I do not use the monitor for gaming so I cannot comments on these specs, but for work with Windows 11 it’s been great (text clarity is great, spreadsheets amazing, etc.).As other reviewers may have commented the base for this screen is large (makes sense with an ultrawide monitor). It takes up a lot of desk space at around 13 inches in depth and 23 inches in width. The mount on the back of the monitor is…different. Very efficient with the provided stand (no screws, etc.) as it just kind of pops in…but still massive on the desk. The specs indicate that a 100×100 mount will work for this…but I haven’t seen a wall mount / arm that does not connect via screws so…I’m not sure what to do from here as I do want to get it off the desk.If anyone finds a good mount / arm for this monitor – please share!

Sweet Jeebus, it’s LARGE

I didn’t think it was going to fit in the corner where I wanted it, but surprisingly, it did. Now, when I come into my game room this thing greets me and something about seeing it at first when I walk in is satisfying. Brightness is awesome. It’ll allow pretty much as many fps as you want. I limit it to 100 fps because Forza Horizon 5 works the GPU significantly. The size is amazing. It was worrisome at first, but wow! It’s amazing.This review is poorly written, but I would definitely recommend this monitor.

Nice Monitor

I got this to replace two 24 inch monitors in my recording studio. It was really nice, easy to set up, and very light – lighter than one of the single 24inches I replaced. It goes together in a snap and is easy to manage despite the large size. The PQ is OK – not as good as the pro-level monitors I replaced, but plenty acceptable for my studio. No idea how it does for gaming as I don’t do that.However, at the end of the day, it was slightly smaller than the two 24 inchers, so I returned it and went with the 49 inch version which is almost identical except for the back panel lighting and heavier metal stand. For the money, this was the better deal, but I was afraid I’d have regrets about the size.

No dead pixels yay

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.

Amazing

I almost never write reviews and when I do they are not very detailed.Picture by Picture is amazing, two monitors in one.x570 aorous master motherboard required a bios update to work.32:9 is not supported in most videos, and not all games support it.amazing color.I work from home and this gave me “dual screens” back since I use one for work and one for personal.

Great monitor

Needs built in speakers and something is wrong with the display port.
