I posted this in the last slickdeal thread for this monitor, just so people are aware before buying this:

Did some research on this monitor, watch YouTube review here.
https://youtu.be/dJ95Dyw_9iA?si=-qNOcbOqv0Wr88YZ

Some negatives I saw in the youtube comments:

-The fact that its matte and not glossy should be considered a crime.

-Something worth mentioning. This monitor is not full DP 2.1. It's UHBR13.5 instead of UHBR20. Meaning it doesn't have the bandwidth to run this monitor natively and will still be using DSC. It's a shame considering how expensive this thing is. But also like to mention. DSC vs native is very little loss in image quality, you really have to sit there and nit-pick everything. In the end, it's a beauty. I just wish LG didn't cheap out on us with the DP and it was glossy.

-There are different certifications of dp 2.1. There are Dp 2.1 UHBR 10(40gbps), Dp 2.1 UHBR 13.5(54gbps), and Dp 2.1 UHBR 20(80 gbps). LG confirmed with TFT central that it's using Dp 2.1 UHBR 13.5. To run this monitor without any compression at 5120x2160 @ 165hz, you need 60.18 Gbps. So ultimately, UHBR 13.5 doesn't have enough bandwidth to run this at native so it has to use DSC. I'm just giving you guys facts so you can make the right knowledgeable purchase. Up to you guys how you want to take the information.

-You should be getting full DP 2.1 bandwidth at this price point. Nevermind that, if you drop that kind of money on a monitor, you want it to be substantially "future proofed." Hard pass. I'll wait for the smaller models with full UHBR 20 support.

This is really tempting with the additional 15% back from cb sites but I'd rather have the 39 inch 5k2k they announced. Anyone know the date on that?

Thank you. I qualify for the discount. This is tempting. I can also get 12% cashback using my capital one card. I have one at Best Buy for pick up on the 7th. With BB I have total geek squad so I have warranty coverage. Problem is I paid $2000 plus tax.

I've seen this monitor in person and looks amazing, but cant justify the cost so I ended up grabbing the 32GS95UE. With the same discounts

Why smaller? I've got the dell 40" 5k2k. I use it at native res no scaling for work (programming), and it's just a tad small. This 45 could be sweet spot for productivity at this res.

Yeah my understanding is that we "just" got recently decent length 2.1 cables and probably most people's gpus are on 2.0 still but going forward... it's a lot to spend without 2.1 DP and I just can't justify going from my 42" c2 to a non glossy screen. Even ignoring color quality, my understanding is that matte scratches easier and I'm already paranoid enough about glossy screens

Warning! Monitors Unboxed makes a good point that this display may be too curved for many. It's very extreme.
