Great as a 5k2k, dual mode isn't great.

Great monitor in the main 5k2k mode, but the dual mode 330hz mode needs some work. Only 1080p and lower work, but the non full screen options it gives you make no sense. Ideally, there should be an option that is just half the vertical and horizontal pixels of the 5k2k mode, which would work out to be a 22.5 inch ultrawide or 18.5 inch 16:9 for real pixels without interlacing, but those options don't exist. If you use dual mode with anything that isn't the full size, the pixels look messed up. I pray that this is something that can be fixed in a software update, because you can just do that resolution in the regular mode and not scale it. It will just be 165hz.

Hello, Brandon. Thank you for sharing your experience with your LG Monitor. The way you described the monitor performing beautifully in 5K2K mode but struggling in Dual Mode at 330Hz — especially with limited resolution options, scaling behavior that doesn’t align with the panel’s native layout, and pixel distortion when not using full‑screen presets — gives a clear picture of what you’ve been working through. To allow us to properly investigate the details of your specific product model and to see if there is anything we can do to assist with this dual‑mode resolution‑and‑scaling issue being encountered, please send us an email at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com if you need further assistance.

This monitor has everything that I need. The additional video inputs will suffice as I will probably not buy a docking station to switch between other input devices which will result in a cleaner desk setup and less clutter. Overall, I'm really impressed with this investment for the long run.
Pros: ease of use, Quality, Style/Design, Features/Settings

I came from an LG 32 inch OLED and wow am I speechless. This is the literal endgame monitor and the closest you will get to being fully immersed without using VR. You feel as if you are actually in the game with this monitor which is incredible for those who love immersion or being immersed. I received mine without any defects and everything from the panel, brightness, HDR, color is phenomenal. Could use more OSD features and a glossy screen finish but other than that it's perfect. Whether you can afford this monster or not, just buy it because it's 150% worth it. If my wife would allow me, I would have bought 1 or 2 more of these things.
Pros: ease of use, Quality, Performance

This is a gorgeous monitor! Blacks are deep ink black, colors are bright and deep, brightness is great, and motion is smooth. In two months, I have not had any issues. The size is great and the curve is a non-issue. I had a 38" LG nano-IPS and was concerned that 45" would be too big and the curve would be too aggressive. 45" on my desk is wonderful, the curve in games is not noticeable, and the curve in productivity and browsing was of minor notice for a few days and then I got used to it. Overall, this is a fantastic monitor.

I am not that much of a gamer, but like to run high resolution with no scaling for maximum desktop area. I always break my monitors up into area using Microsoft fancy zones so I gave specific windows for email, browser, teams, etc. I have typically used a 32” 4k monitor and took this home to try it. I was concerned about the aggressive curve and thought I would wait for the 990a. Once I used it, I loved the curve. At high resolution the aggressive curve is needed to keep things close and i loved the oled blacks and refresh as well. I play some flight simulator, etc. but for me there is no concern at all for the aggressive curve. After using this, I knew if I had a 990a, I would always keep it at most aggressive curve and it only goes down to 900R and I would want the 800R(smaller is more aggressive) the 950a has. Plus, nice getting speakers in the 950 as 990 is not supposed to have them. I really wish it had a kvm built in and would not have bought it, but remembered that my Logitech keyboard and mouse have that built in so I just bought extra dongle for my work laptop, and Mac so I could easily connect 3 computers without cable madness or nerdy external kvm. I am an older professional and just love this monitor, and I liked the matte finish better because I have a window in my office and do not care for the dungeon scene with no windows to lower glare, etc. games and work all look great. No fishbowl effect for me whatsoever and I am in my 50s and have serious job working on it 8 hours a day for past 3 months

I have ordered this monitor for my monster PC buil and it just a perfect. The picture is quite clear, the size of the screen is large, a little unusual after the previous 22 inches, you want to squeeze further, but the picture is simply stunning. Also liked deep black and matte. I will actively use gaming.
