LG 39GX90SA-W 39-inch Ultragear WQHD (3440 x 1440) OLED Curved Gaming Monitor 240Hz, 1ms, NVIDIA G-Sync Compatible, AMD FreeSync Premium, VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400, webOS, USB Type-C, White

First ImpressionsAfter waiting for the perfect monitor for over 5 years, the LG 45GX950A has exceeded all expectations. It’s not just a monitor—it’s a full-on experience. This 45” OLED monitor is in a class of its own and is a huge upgrade that was well worth the wait. It's large and immersive enough to double as a TV.Performance & Display QualityPlaying games on an OLED panel at 165Hz with this resolution is unprecedented. Text is razor-sharp and extremely legible at 125 PPI. The tiny pixels make individual RGB subpixels invisible even under a magnifying glass. The default brightness is set at 100%, which can be harsh on the eyes, but reducing it to 50% creates a comfortable and rich viewing experience.Design & BuildThe matte finish is an excellent choice, minimizing reflections during daytime use or nighttime movie viewing. Unlike glossy screens with aggressive curves that can reflect the room or even distort the monitor’s own image, the matte surface eliminates internal glare and reflection, which can be problematic on an 800R curve. The monitor also features a stylish, hexagonal customizable LED backlight, and the black rear cover helps minimize ambient light scatter, unlike white back panels.Features & FunctionalityA key improvement over my old LG monitor is the convenience factor. The 45GX950A auto-switches to the active input source—a welcome change from having to switch manually. Also, DisplayPort now carries audio to the internal speakers, which are surprisingly loud and adequate for everyday use.Gaming ExperienceThe 21:9 ultrawide aspect ratio is perfect for cinematic content and immersive gameplay. With a 0.03 ms response time and support for up to 165Hz (330Hz with overclocking), this monitor is lightning-fast. The wider field of view is especially ideal for racing sims, flight sims, and open-world titles. If you've never gamed on an OLED display, the difference in black depth and contrast will feel almost surreal.Power EfficiencyDespite its size and capabilities, the monitor uses only 35 watts for non-gaming activity and 40 watts during gaming when HDR brightness is at 50%. That’s incredibly efficient and allows it to run cool even during extended use.Pros:1. You will feel very giddy at first – in a good way. The curve feels dramatic but quickly becomes natural and immersive.2. Blazing speed: 165Hz/330Hz refresh and 0.03 ms response time.3. Convenience: Auto input switching and DisplayPort audio.4. Cinematic ultrawide 21:9 ratio with a vertical 2160 resolution.5. Immersive and ideal for games and movies with deeper blacks.6. Low power usage and high efficiency.7. Matte finish eliminates distracting reflections.8. Customizable backlight with functional design choices like the black rear panel.Cons:1. A faint white vertical bar appeared at first, but OLED Image Cleaning resolved it quickly.2. On the pricey side, though the feature set justifies the cost.3. Your GPU or CPU may need upgrading to handle the full 5K2K resolution.4. For uncompressed DisplayPort 2.0/2.1 support, you’ll need an RTX 5000 or RX 7000 series card.Final ThoughtsIf you're looking for a monitor that blends stunning visuals, fast refresh rates, immersive curvature, and premium build quality—this is it. I didn’t get to see this in person before buying, but after using it for a day, I can confidently say I will be more than 100% satisfied with it for years to come. Highly recommended.

A simply outstanding monitor! I've used a 16:9 monitor my whole life, and finally decided to pull the trigger on an OLED ultrawide 21:9. I have two LG OLED TV's in my home and knew LG was the way to go when it comes to OLED. I was coming from a 32" 16:9 monitor and originally purchased the 34" older version of this monitor. I found that when using it on my PC, which is capable of 21:9, it was great, but when switching to my PS5, which uses a 16:9 aspect ratio, the screen basically became a 27" monitor and I found myself squinting at the screen.IN COMES THIS 39" MONITOR! It's exactly what I wanted it to be! At the full 21:9 aspect ratio it envelopes you into a new level of immersion! And at the 16:9 aspect ratio it feels exactly like my old 32" monitor! The best part is that because it's OLED the black bars on the side are completely black; no grey glow like other ultrawide monitors! Speaking of OLED the contrast is phenomenal, and the colors are so vibrant! LG OLED TVs have ruined me when watching or playing on any other screen, so this OLED monitor has been such a nice addition to my arsenal of screens!At $1099 (on sale) this is a fantastic value for the money! The monitor is basically a TV with the addition of WebOS. If you're familiar with LG's OLED TV's, it functions exactly the same. It auto recognizes the inputs and either asks you if you'd like to switch, or switches automatically when in standby mode. When using this with a PS5, be sure to turn off VRR inside the PS5 settings or the monitor will cut in and out. (This might only apply to my setup as I run my PS5's HDMI out through an audio extractor).I absolutely love this monitor, and I can't wait to game for hours and hours and feel completely immersed! Thank you LG! :D

I never pre-order, but, apprehension due incoming tariffs, compelled me to pre-order so my purchase price would be locked in in case of a tariff-induced price increase. It took 3 weeks to finally get here, and, I'm both relieved, and excited to report this monitor is beyond astounding.Picture quality and response times are top tier.This was intended for use with a new laptop, but, new laptop hasn't arrived yet, and I'm happy to find this monitor will even work with a 10-year-old laptop. This was quite the relief because an additional monitor from another other brand I ordered was either defective, or, just didn't work with this old laptop, so, I sent that other brand monitor back.Anyway, I'm very glad this will work with old laptop until new one arrives.

I got this monitor for a deal on their Amazon Prime Day Deals and seems a bit of a reasonable price and overall worth. The white color on the monitor is great and matches my theme. Build quality is great with solid metal stand and very great. The clarity is great with the OLED panel on it. However, because it is an OLED it is known for its burn in issues as long as you take good care of it, it will last you a good while. The size was honestly bigger than I thought for a 34 inch. Which the stand just fits with the upper stand being off and not cause of that it’s the desk that’s the issue. The thickness could use an improvement cause it looked a bit thicker than I thought.But overall, if you got a great deal for this then go for it. But if not then it may not be worth the price to you.

Color and brightness are wonderful but that’s about where the fun stops. The text is so incredibly fuzzy and all black objects have a slight yellow halo line. Additionally had a faulty USB-C port on delivery. Have to return it.

Monitor display is very nice! Very expensive but it's the best looking a clearest gaming monitor yet. Unfortunately got a dead pixel right in the center of the display so I've had to return it. I'll be ordering another one once I get a refund.
