Next-Level Immersion: LG's 45" 5K2K OLED Gaming Monitor
At first glance, it's easy to think this is just another ultra-wide curved monitor aimed at pro gamers. But spend even a few minutes with this 45-inch OLED beast, and it becomes clear: this isn't just a display upgrade—it's a workspace revolution, a cinematic canvas, and an adrenaline shot of immersion all in one.
Let's start with the headline: 5K2K resolution across a dramatic 21:9 ultra-wide canvas. That's 33% more pixels than 4K, but it's not just about the math. It's about how the OLED panel—backed by LG's cutting-edge WOLED and MLA+ technology—makes blacks deeper, whites more radiant, and color saturation feel almost surreal. Whether you're exploring a fantasy universe or grading a 6K video timeline, you're seeing detail and texture in a way that's simply impossible on a traditional screen.
Then there's the speed. This isn't just about refresh rates—it's about adaptability. The Dual-Mode function lets you seamlessly toggle between a razor-sharp 165Hz WUHD for visually rich games or workflows, and an insane 330Hz WFHD for lightning-fast FPS or esports moments. And yes, 0.03ms (GtG) response time is real. Blur and ghosting don't stand a chance here.
Curved to match your vision, literally. With an 800R curvature, the screen wraps naturally around your field of view—no exaggerated fisheye distortion or cramped vertical limits. It's a display you sit inside, not just in front of.
What really sets the UltraGear 45 apart, though, is how it straddles both work and play with effortless grace. Multitasking across a 5K2K screen is like unlocking a second brain. No bezels interrupting your thought process, no external monitor juggling. Just one seamless, immersive view where your editing timeline, reference windows, and browser tabs all live in harmony.
And of course, LG didn't forget about sound. With 10W x 2 rich bass speakers and support for DTS Headphone:X, this monitor doesn't just look amazing—it sounds like a high-end gaming rig even when your headset's off.
For creators, gamers, and hybrid professionals who demand the best from every pixel, the LG UltraGear™ 45GX950A isn't just a monitor—it's a mindset shift.

Databricks eyes over $100 billion valuation as investors back AI growth plans
Analytics firm Databricks said on Tuesday its valuation was set to jump 61% to more than $100 billion in a funding round less than a year after its last, underscoring strong investor demand for artificial intelligence startups. The San Francisco, California-based company — with 15,000 customers, including payments firm Block, energy giant Shell and electric-vehicle maker Rivian — said it has signed a term sheet for a Series K round, but did not disclose the amount it was raising. Late last year, Databricks had raised $10 billion in one of the largest venture capital funding rounds in history, which valued it at $62 billion. The company expects to use a portion of the latest funds in product development and for mergers and acquisitions in the AI segment, as corporations and governments worldwide rush to leverage efficiencies from the nascent but rapidly evolving technology. "Databricks is benefiting from an unprecedented global demand for AI apps and agents, turning companies' data into goldmines. We're thrilled this round is already over-subscribed," said Ali Ghodsi, co-founder and CEO. Startups are choosing to stay private for longer amid higher interest rates and unpredictable market appetite for initial public offerings over the past few years. Capital is also available for larger late-stage rounds as private market investors sit on record levels of dry powder. OpenAI is also in talks to close an employee share sale, which would value the ChatGPT parent at around $500 billion, Reuters had reported earlier this month.
