Next-Level Immersion: LG's 45" 5K2K OLED Gaming Monitor
There are gaming monitors—and then there's the LG UltraGear™ OLED 45GX950A. 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.

LG's new 45-inch 5K2K uber OLED monitor goes into mass production and will land soon on a desk near you. For $2,000
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Back at CES, we reported on the new LG UltraGear 45GX950A. It's a 45-inch OLED gaming monitor with a 5K2K resolution that promises much better pixel density than previous large-scale ultrawide gaming monitors based on LG's OLED panel tech. Now LG has announced the UltraGear 45GX950A has gone into mass production. While there's no news on a precise availability date, it's good to hear the monitor is now being built at scale. There's been a tendency in recent years for large time delays between new high-end monitor announcements and actual on-sale dates, but it seems like this won't be the case for the 45GX950A. As for specs, LG still hasn't dished all of the details. Our last report covered the 5,120 by 2,160 pixel resolution and 125 DPI pixel density. That's much better than a 108 DPI 1440p 27 incher, but not quite on par with, say, a 32-inch 4K monitor, the latter coming in at around 140 DPI. Meanwhile, it's miles better than the awful 80 DPI of existing 45-inch ultrawide OLEDs with 3,440 by 1,440 pixels. LG also mentioned the usual 0.03 ms response at CES, along with 165 Hz refresh. To that we can now add 1,300 nits peak brightness, presumably on a three percent window. LG added that the monitor will also offer a 330 Hz FHD mode. That actually means 2,560 by 1,080 and thus no black bars either side of the panel. Frustratingly, LG still isn't quoting full-screen brightness or expanding on the generation of OLED panel in the 45GX950A. If the monitor used fancy new tech with much improved full-screen brightness, we suspect LG would be shouting about it. For that reason, we suspect it will make do with LG's existing 3rd Gen WOLED rather than the new, much brighter panel tech announced at CES. LG has said that this new technology, known as Primary RGB Tandem, "will gradually be applied to monitors," but didn't put a time frame on that process. Primary RGB Tandem reorganizes the existing 3-Stack structure of two blue layers and a single red, green, and yellow layer in existing WOLED panels into a 4-Stack structure made up of four layers featuring two blue elements and independent layers of red and green elements. Image 1 of 2 Image 2 of 2 LG claims, "this significantly improves screen brightness, color reproduction, and energy efficiency." Again, it's not absolutely clear that the new 5K2K LG UltraGear 45GX950A doesn't benefit from this, but sadly we do not believe that to be the case. Nevertheless, the 5K2K 45-inch form factor sounds like a fantastic high-end solution for both gaming and general computing. So, we can't wait to get our hands on one. Watch this space. As for the sordid matter of money, the fixed-curve 45GX950A has an MSRP of $1,999. There's also a bendable 45GX990A model that hasn't been priced up. But that sports motors to adjust the panel curve between flat and a tight 900R, so bet on something like $2,500.
