Buying a monitor is not unlike Goldilocks trying to figure out exactly what porridge she likes. Is it too wide, too small? Too tall, too narrow? Do I need picture by picture or Picture in Picture? Do I need high ppi and usb hub built in? Do I game a lot do a game a little? Do I go with VA or OLED or IPS? These are just a few of the challenges I have had picking what ended up being this monitor. I really feel this is the sweet spot for the professional who uses the screen for both work and play. It’s a VA panel so it has great brightness, 200 MHz speed which is plenty fast for just about every game and picture by picture to have two different worlds up at one time. Add in the built-in KVM switch and it’s one seamless experience. The curvature has been nice, though I wish it was a little more but no big deal. It feels like a 49 inch even though it’s only a 45 inch last but not least I was excited to find this model with the 75 in the model number included USB-C power delivery, which is really great to reduce cord clutter, though the one with the 65 in the model number would’ve been great also as it’s $100 less. Of course, now I found them both a little bit cheaper, but that’s how it goes. I still got a good deal and I would highly recommend this monitor as a great all around screen for most of your needs. In my case if I want bleeding edge OLED, I’ll just play PlayStation on my TV which of course is LG as well. Such great products! Good luck in your search. Read more
Great monitor. Though I would say, if I were to do it again, I would go one more size up. Double wide monitors look vertically short compared to traditional monitors. Read more
I grew tired of the dual setup of 24” monitors. I felt like there was a lot of wasted space and I couldn’t really work with 3 separate windows very efficiently, so I wanted something bigger. A 49” was just a hair too big for me to fit with my Klipsch bookshelf speakers on my desk, so I landed on this 45” unit. This model was on sale vs the cheaper version (same picture quality) so I went with this, otherwise I just would have bought that one. It works exactly as I expected, plenty of room to have 3 windows open with almost full view of each. Colors are great, contrast is great, viewing angles are great, and the price wasn’t too bad. I would suggest you just go with a 49” if you have the space though. The price is maybe $100 more and at this price point just go for it. Read more
Had this monitor for a few days now and expected to use it for work and gaming. To my surprise it excels at gaming but not so great for work. Most important work consideration is if you have any trouble at all making out small text, this is probably not the monitor for you. The pixel density is great, until you need to read anything, especially in an environment where text doesn't scale with system text, which is my case. The HDR is surprisingly nice in games, though I disabled the dimming zones as they don't really add much and are distracting at times. Frame rate is great, and overall a very good monitor and a nice size compromise to some of the larger 32:9 offerings out there. Read more
I bought this monitor primarily for work/productivity and gaming second. It is a VA panel so there is some viewing angle differences but this does not bother me. Color accuracy seems right and have own this about 2 months now without any issues. I did buy the insurance so durability is a non-factor at this point but hopefully i will not have to use it.

All the features I was looking for in a monitor was in this one package! As I thought first time I bought it it did great with my productivity stuff which was amazing. But had issues in the gaming area the monitor kept going dark at random times I was gaming I looked into every seething in my computer to see what the issue was and could not find one solution so I chucked it up to be the one monitor that may have been a lemon but I felt that this monitor was perfect for both productivity and gaming options I bought again same issue with the gaming side the scree kept going black I talked to lg reps and tried all the options they gave me still same issue I would give this monitor a 10 for productivity and a 3 for gaming. Also I don’t recommend buying monitors from amazon they have held on to my money for about a month and still waiting I understand checking the monitor but it’s a bit annoying to have to wait so long to get your money back I personally will not be purchasing any more monitors from Amazon because of the lengthy wait to get your money back.

Had to retire my Apple Thunderbolt display after 12+ years. And Chose this as my replacement. Mostly for Development work. But a bit of gaming. After all the reviews, I was concerned about the height, curve and possible dead pixels. But all concerns were non-existent. This monitor is amazing. The curve is very slight and perfect for my desk and viewing angle. The height is a tiny bit smaller than my thunderbolt display, but the vertical resolution is the same and I barely notice. For database and development work it, this is a dream. The picture is crisp and I can fit 3 nice sized windows on the screen with plenty of room. There are 2 negatives, but nothing really to do with the monitor, just issues I didn't think about. 1) no camera so I had to buy a webcam to sit on top and 2) on video calls, I can no longer share my entire screen, because my monitor is to large. I have to share an individual window. Oh and now my wife is jealous and wants one. Overall, I could not be more pleased. Read more
