LG's 45 inch OLED 5K2K dual mode monitor stands out as a striking all around display for gaming and productivity, with the 4090 handling games smoothly and the panel described as absolutely stunning. Pricing chatter centers on value, with recent street prices around $1,316 to $1,349, while past coupon deals dipped near $1,000 to $1,147. The main hesitation is the large curve, along with some concern about clarity and whether OLED suits productivity. A less curved 39 inch 5K2K model is also on the horizon, making this a strong pick if the size and curve fit your setup.
gamers with a high-end GPU (like a 4090) who want an OLED display that "runs everything perfect" because the owner says it's absolutely stunning and their 4090 performs well with it.
deal-focused shoppers who are actively stacking coupons and waiting for a lower price because commenters say it's a fantastic monitor but the better value is when it drops about $200 lower with 15% off deals.
buyers who are comparing retailer pricing and can use chat-agent coupons because one commenter says the regular LG site with at least a 10% chat coupon can be cheaper than the partner site without extra coupons.
people who are okay with OLED for productivity and want to try it anyway because a commenter specifically hopes it "works fine for productivity despite being an OLED."
buyers who are sensitive to OLED burn-in risk or long productivity sessions because a commenter is explicitly hoping it works fine for productivity "despite being an OLED," implying uncertainty about productivity suitability.
buyers who strongly dislike aggressive curvature or worry about text clarity because one commenter says they're "turned off by the large curve and potential clarity issues."
people planning to wait for a specific coupon deal to reappear because a commenter says the earlier coupon likely had limited/rare availability and they wouldn't "reliably wait for that deal to pop up again."
A better buy is around $200 below the current deal price, especially when stacked with 15% off promotions. Historical prices mentioned include $1,147 with an extra 15% off, about $1,000 with a coupon, and a target Costco drop to roughly $1,200-$1,300.
It can work well for productivity, and it is described as a strong fit for nearly every use case. The main caveat is the large curve, which may bother people who are sensitive to clarity or curvature on a desktop.
It may drop further after CES, with one prior coupon deal already reaching about $1,000. A new 39-inch 5K2K ultrawide with a less severe 1500R curve is also expected, which could pressure pricing on this model.
Best Buy has reportedly price matched Amazon pricing on this monitor, including $1,359 one week and $1,316 the next. That can make Best Buy a viable option if a lower Amazon price appears.
A 4090 can run games on this monitor very well, and the display is described as stunning in use. That makes it a strong match for high-end gaming hardware at this resolution and refresh rate.
Why wait? Some of us have plenty of money and don't have to save each cent.I have this monitor. It's absolutely stunning. 4090 pretty much runs everything perfect. purchased at Costco at a little better deal than this.
LOL. This is SlickDeals. If you want to pay more, just buy shit whenever you have the urge and don't bother with this app at all.FWIW, I bought this monitor last month for $1,147 from the LG partner store that was offering an additional 15% off on a similar sale price. If anyone would like to pay ~$200 more for the same product, that's their call. If they're here, they're looking for the best deal possible.

Costco has it for 1999 which is basically MSRP. Partner Site 1349. So, this is cheaper than partner site without any additional coupons. Regular LG site had it up until last night for 1399 and if you chat with an agent you get at least a 10% coupon off.

Plenty of money and you're running a 4090? Stop being cheap and get the 5090 cheapo!

costco had it at 1399 till a few days back, mine's coming in a few days, hoping this works fine for productivity despite being an OLED
I got the Dell 4k2k for bf. Now this has some deals on it and I got a little fomo. Haha. I'm just turned off by the large curve and potential clarity issues. But it looks great.
Guy.... the damn thing was $1000 with a coupon code a month ago. After CES it will drop to that price or lower.
I saw that deal. I'm pretty sure the coupon had limited use because only a few people claimed to have gotten it. So I wouldn't reliably wait for that deal to pop up again.
With the new monitors though it'll definitely drop in price.

The monitor can run games smoothly with a high-end GPU setup, making it practical for demanding gaming sessions.
The LG Store price can be reduced with a chat-agent coupon, which can make it cheaper than the partner site without extra coupons.
The monitor has shown lower pricing in the past, including a reported $1,147 purchase with an additional 15% off on a similar sale.
Best Buy can price match Amazon pricing, which can help keep the purchase cost closer to the lowest listed retailer price.
The OLED may be a concern for productivity use, since OLED suitability for work tasks is not guaranteed.
The large curve can raise clarity concerns, which may affect comfort and text sharpness for some buyers.
The LG Store price can move back up after a discount, which can make waiting for a deal less predictable.
A previously seen coupon may have had limited availability, so relying on it again may not be dependable.
