Great fir productivity
on September 17, 2025
Posted by: LG 45GX950A
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

Great picture quality

from Ukraine
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.

A perfect display for simulation, Better than VR
on June 21, 2025
Posted by: DL721
from Englewood Cliffs, NJ
As a student pilot, I’ve always looked for ways to improve my situational awareness and flight instincts during my free time. That’s why flight simulation has become a key part of my training routine. I use a full range of external flight controls—yoke, throttle, and rudder pedals—to make the experience as close to real as possible. But what truly makes or breaks a simulation setup is the visual field.
At first, I invested in a Meta Quest 3 for VR flying. While the ability to turn my head and look around freely in all directions was impressive, I ran into some serious limitations. The visual quality was lacking due to hardware constraints, the frame rate often dropped, and most importantly, the motion sickness was hard to ignore. It became clear that I needed a high-end monitor that could deliver immersion without the drawbacks of VR.
After a week of use for 45GX950A, I can say this monitor is exactly what I was looking for. Even though my laptop doesn’t support the full 5120x2160 resolution, the simulation still ran beautifully at 3840x2160. I never once felt limited.
The curved OLED display completely fills my field of view, offering a wide and immersive flying experience. Unlike with VR, there’s no dizziness, no eye strain, and no blur. The clarity and depth of the visuals are absolutely stunning. I could clearly see to the sides of my aircraft, which is essential for flight training and spatial awareness.
There was a slight stretch in the side viewing angles, Perhaps due to my current resolution settings but overall, It didn’t impact my experience much. The visual quality remained sharp, bright, and natural throughout. Colors are rich, contrast is deep, and motion is fluid. It really feels like I’m flying through the skies.
The user interface is another win. Unlike my previous 27” monitor from another brand (which had five separate buttons that always confused me), the 45GX950A has a single joystick-style control that makes navigating settings simple and quick. When switching to Game Mode, I noticed that the FPS preset made the image slightly darker, but this is a minor observation rather than a flaw.
Installation was also easier than expected. Despite the panel being quite large and a bit heavy, I was able to set it up without even needing the manual.
In short, this monitor beats VR in clarity, comfort, and usability. After just one week, I already feel like it’s elevated the quality of my flight training significantly.

Beautiful if it wakes up in time to use.
on May 27, 2025
Posted by: 45 inch 5k x 2K
wish i wouldn't have bought it, It is a beautiful panel when working properly, it is stupid bad slow to wake up and anytime i open a app or a game loads it says no signal going to sleep and blinks or flashes black a few times and takes a min or two then the screen will come back on. I returned the old Model waiting for the 5kx2k for the higher resolution, the old model there wasn't ever a issue. instant wake up no signal loss like it switching... using a 5090 and already swapped to different ports on back of it.

The monitor is the best the money can gets in May 2025 ! I'm totally impressed by the colors and size. I have another monitor VA 49" which was my main and there is no comparison on how games look like here vs the other one. The curve is natural and zero disturbing and the opposite it is what it should be. Price is so good. You deserve it ! Nothing to regret

The last monitor I'll ever buy
on May 9, 2025
Posted by: Burzmali
from Colorado
This monitor is the best thing to ever happen to my home office. Coming from a multimonitor setup to this huge, single screen is a game changer for both productivity and gaming. Prior to buying, I was concerned that the curve would be too aggressive. I was relieved to discover that it's not noticeable at all. It helps with gaming immersion and doesn't impact my work (software development) at all.
The picture on this thing is incredible. Colors are vivid, blacks are deep, and the panel is very bright. Even with a south-facing window in my office, the screen seems bright. I know I've seen some people have concerns about the matte coating. It's barely noticeable. I can't even tell it's there unless I put one of my older glossy monitors right next to it. Really, the screen does everything you want. Just keep in mind that you will need a solid graphics card to fully use the 5k resolution at the full refresh rate. If you don't have at least a 5080, the price may not be worth it.
Connectivity-wise, I do wish it had more than one USB-C upstream port. The one that exists is fantastic, powering and connecting my Macbook Pro to peripherals through the USB-A ports just like a docking station. But additional upstream ports would have provided some KVM functionality, which would have been nice. That's not a deal-breaker at all, though.
Overall, I love this thing.

We're so glad the curve turned out to be just right and that the picture quality – those vivid colors and deep blacks – is hitting all the right notes, even with that sunny window!
