Community Reviews
This LG UltraGear 45 inch OLED is praised as a strong gaming monitor, with office use described as acceptable and text still readable. The low pixel density stands out, especially if you sit close, and the 5k2k version is repeatedly framed as the better choice for sharper desktop use. The bigger concern is open box condition, since Fair units can be shelf or display models with heavy use and burn in, though some Fair pickups have only minor cosmetic damage. Checking the panel in store and leaning on the return or warranty window helps reduce the risk.
Common Questions (4)
Fair open-box units are often shelf or display models and can have significant burn-in, including examples with 5,000+ hours of screen time. A few Fair units have also arrived with only a few hundred hours, so checking the panel in-store before leaving is the safest move.
Good or higher is the safer target because Fair is most likely a shelf/display model. Some Fair units are hidden gems, but the condition label is not a reliable guarantee of low hours or burn-in.
It is great for gaming and usable for office work, but the pixel density can feel low if you sit close. Text remains readable, though the 45-inch 240Hz ultrawide is better suited to gaming than close-up productivity.
A 60-day return window plus the 4-year warranty can reduce the risk, and Geek Squad coverage may allow replacement with a working or new unit if the panel has burn-in. That matters because burn-in is not something that can be repaired traditionally.

What about the other one that is 45'' and 5K2K monitor? As long as it is better than open-box fair, then it's good?
