LG's 45 inch 5K2K OLED curved gaming monitor stands out for immersive ultrawide gaming and strong productivity at a desk. The 21 by 9, 5120 by 2160 panel delivers sharp text, deep OLED blacks, and striking HDR in racing, flight sim, and fast FPS games, with the curve feeling natural at normal viewing distance. The main drawback is the aggressive 800R curve, which can look odd for movies or TV and may not suit every setup. A short power cable and occasional flicker reports add some setup caution, making it a strong fit if the curve works for you.
Common Questions (5)
An RTX 2070 can connect, but HDMI 2.0 limits it to 60Hz at 4K, which leaves a lot of the monitor's capability unused. DisplayPort is the better path if you want higher refresh rates, and a stronger GPU may be needed to avoid artifacting or fully drive the panel.
It is especially strong for immersive gaming, including F1, Forza, Gran Turismo, FPS games, and flight sim use. The 21:9 5K OLED panel with HDR and the curve make racing and cockpit-style games look particularly compelling.
Some units can show brief OLED flicker or glitches, especially during rapid scrolling on white backgrounds or heavy-loading pages. Other setups show no flicker at all, suggesting the behavior may depend on the connected GPU or system.
At a normal desk distance around 2 feet, the curve can feel natural quickly and may stop being noticeable. Sitting farther back for movies or TV can make it feel less ideal, and some content can look unnatural, so it is better suited to close-up productivity and gaming than as a primary couch-viewing screen.
The panel is 4th-gen WOLED, which is expected to be more resistant to burn-in. It is still an OLED, so long daily work sessions make burn-in a practical concern to keep in mind.

LOVING this monitor. Using it for productivity, software development, not gaming.

Ok.. I also pulled up some 21:9 wide screen format 4K videos of halo gameplay footage and it also looked amazing, so FPS games are also super immersive and really compelling. I think the curve actually helps for these kinds of games.
I got used to the curve very quickly, and I don't really notice it now. I sit at a desk about 2 feet from the monitor. If I were sitting back 5+ feet to watch a movie, I think the curve might not be ideal, but seated normally, it no longer bothers me.
I think in a perfect world the curve would be a bit less, but unless you're willing to wait for the adjustable curve version to come out, this is the only good 5k2k I'm aware of.
Apart from the curve the size is excellent. Unless you're a Trader and actually use more screen real estate than this resolution provides, it's hard to imagine a better setup. The PPI seems good to me - I can read things without scaling (though I did bump my Windows text size by 10% to make some sites like Reddit more eyeball friendly.
No more overlapping windows or side scrolling wide spreadsheets for me. I expect to be very happy with this monitor for 5+ years, and don't expect to be tempted to upgrade until there's a much better technology available.
One plus for the extreme curve is that the monitor takes up a bit less horizontal space...so, that may be good?
One big downside is the LG uses a power brick and the cord that goes from the brick to the monitor is way too short. Expect to have trouble if you want to route it through a spring arm or something similar. I've looked, but have not found an extension cord so far.
Last thing: I do think that if Dell gets this panel and produces their own version, it will likely be a superior iteration, but I have no idea if there are any plans for that to happen.
Coming from an Alienware AW3821DW for reference. I liked that monitor a lot. A bit sad I can't think of a new use for it.
LOVING this monitor. Using it for productivity, software development, not gaming.
But my glitches in a way that it scroll up and down rapidly, it breaks a beat, and the screen flickers for a few millisecond or so, especially tried it on heavy loading sites, like Amazon. It flickers very rapidly, and in the white background the flickering it very noticeable.
Even when writing this comment, with the white background, scrolling very fast up and down is making the flickering worse.
Just wanted to know your experience.
I bought over $5k worth of LG appliances along with this monitor over the killer BF deals.
But I must say they have one of the worse after sale service I have noticed with any other brand.
They are not reachable at all, I have left the emails as well but no reply.
Almost all the products have issues and no resolution so far.
So be mindful of it when ordering.
I would highly recommend ordering from Amazon directly than from LG, if you really want this monitor.
And at this point, I have tried reaching to LG, like 12-15 times, but couldn't get connected and also no replies via email as well.
And I just realized yesterday was the last day to return it, so I am out of return window as well.
So it seems like I am stuck with this.

Even with a lesser video card I am sure you can get some awesome visuals on it, not using path tracing, using 2x FG (40xx or 50xx) etc, it really is the just the best display you can get for gaming. Productivity is good too but I will be honest I prefer my Samsung 57" 2x4K for productivity as text is more clear on MiniLED than it is on OLED and 32:9 on a 57" screen split 2 or 3 ways with powertoys cannot be beat.
But for gaming there is no equal. And I have no issues mentioned above such as any type of micro stutter or flicker or anything like that. I also bought from Best Buy as a plus member I just really like having that 60 day return.
