Size, brightness, colors and text clarity are really, really good. I returned mine due to HORIZONTAL banding issues. There were lines across the entire screen, visible when the image had a lot of light colors.. light grey, light brown, etc. Also, with white content, there was this almost sparkle effect I noticed.. not sure if this was caused by OLED tech or the matte coating. Just couldn't accept these cons at this price. Pic attached but it doesnt show the extent of the defect.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this monitor for a month now. It has been amazing so far. The peak brightness is exactly what I've been looking for. When I was using LG's last gen WOLED. My main gripe was that the brightness for me was just too dim even at 100% brightness in the OSD and HDR set to maximum through windows. With the 5K2K Tandem OLED. It fixed all my initial issues with the last gen model. Ultrawide UHD resolution is sharp. Like looking at a 4k screen but with 39' length and the curve is so minimal and unnoticeable. Perfect for viewing. The matte screen for me is a plus. Since I work with a lot of LED lighting everywhere plus theres a big window in the room. 165hz is a nice refresh rate with this monitor too. It doesnt rely on DSC, so you get the full bandwidth of DP2.1. Although you need a GPU that supports DP2.1. The colors and contrast are your typical OLED popiness. The color stand out among whichever scene you're looking at and the dark scenes with black are really immersive. With HDR the dark scenes get even more jaw dropping. Since in small sections of the screen it can boost the brightness up to 1500nits without lossing any detail in the object. (Ex. A single light in dim dark room). For some people you may need to fine tune the monitor to your preferred settings. Once you dial it in to your specifications. You won't regret getting this monitor. As I've been interested in this monitor since it got announced. Before I pulled the trigger and bought it. I messaged LG support about a discount for the monitor in question. The Rep was very happy and sent over a code right away! So those of you who havent made a decision yet. Maybe that might entice you!

I am very pleased with this monitor. My previous monitor was a AW3423DW. The extra pixels, refresh rate, and screen space of this monitor is just wonderful. The only thing I am not so keen on is the AI upscaling. I feel a feature like this should be on a separate monitor thereby lowering the price. The main catch of this ultra wide oled monitor is the 5k2K resolution at 165 hz. You are going to need a 5090, or something close it, to run that resolution natively. Do not be discouraged by the matte panel. HDR videos on youtube show you of what this thing is capable. The matte finish is a plus because I now do not get reflections of my window or lights on this screen, while the colors and blacks make gaming a joy. Just buy it already.

I waited monitor with this specs more than 3 years. 1) 40" ultrawide = 32" 16:9 by height , perfect size, high PPI 2) Low curvature 3) 4К resolution 4) more then 120hz refresh rate + saturated colors and deep black This product can be used in all scenarios (Work, game, watch movie from high distance)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Suprised how well it does in a bright room at 50% brightness. The Panel is very light, and gorgeous, colours are amazing. Text quality is alright, but given I come from 166ppi and 220 ppi is decent. Overall I do recommend this monitor.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I brought tow of this screens and I'm impressed beyond the reviews I watched over the YouTube excellent work expected from Lg as always keep build good quality this product is well priced they arrived well packed and in time

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really good monitor . perfect size and gentle curve , 165hz with new tandem oled gives spectacular colours and really good productivity monitor with fantastic text clarity .. absolutely no fringing at all of the text.. best for both the productivity and gaming ..

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Brilliant display, 45 inch curved ultrawide is next level immersion, comes with webos which works well and a remote for ease of use. It has LG TV style HDR, making good use of the 1300 nit panel spec, which makes everything look better and adds that punchy wow factor to the image. Built in speakers work well and honestly the best display I've owned to date!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far no issues after only 1 month and the picture quality of my first OLED is very impressive with low latency for gaming as well as HDR, also very immersive. I knew this would be an upgrade over my previous 32" 2k monitor, but didn't know it would how much it would really impress me, it's quite amazing, really. You may think 45" is too big, however if you can use a 32" monitor, you could probably fit this 45" LG monitor and is way more immersive. (Just being a bit wider) As I've only had this for around 1 month, I do worry about OLED burn-in, but it seems LG has protective features to utilize the regular cleaning of pixels and a couple other settings for OLED care. Plus, there are many tutorials online explaining how to look after an OLED panel For the quality of the picture and all the features I really do recommend this product if you can afford to pay a little extra

IMO this is the best combination gaming / productivity monitor to get in 2026. I think it is the Goldilock's size - not too big, not too small - just right! I only recently started getting back into gaming (via Console or Steam Deck), but I wanted a monitor that I could not only play games from my Mac on, but also a PS5 and a Steam Deck. This monitor is perfect for that. I did not like the default picture settings out of the box, but after playing with the settings, the picture quality is now equal or better than what I was used to. I love it now. I had to make a few trade-offs from my dual-Ultrafine Setup: no built in camera, fewer ports, and lower pixel density. With the exception of the pixel density, I was able to replace the missing functionality with separate accessories, which are better than what you get built into any monitor anyway.
