LG Curved OLED Gaming Monitor 45-Inch
Product description
When a smaller screen makes games feel boxed in, a wide curved display can give the action more room to spread across your field of view. The LG 45-inch UltraGear pairs a 21:9 WQHD OLED panel with an 800R curve, aiming for an enveloping gaming setup rather than a compact, all-purpose monitor. Its 240Hz refresh rate and listed 0.03ms response time speak to fast-paced play, while OLED contrast and DisplayHDR True Black 400 are geared toward richer-looking scenes. The tradeoff is scale: this is a substantial display, so desk space and viewing distance matter as much as the headline speed.
Getting the most from it
The 3440 x 1440 resolution gives you an ultrawide view, and the strong curve is designed to bring more of that screen into your peripheral vision. In a racing game, for example, the broader view can keep more of the track and surroundings in sight as you approach a turn. That sense of immersion is the point, if you prefer a flat screen or want a display that takes up less visual space, this layout may not suit your setup as well.
For quick-moving games, 240Hz and the stated 0.03ms response time target smooth motion and rapid on-screen response. The monitor is listed as compatible with NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, which may help keep frames in sync with supported systems. HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort, and USB Type-C with 65W power delivery offer several connection options, though the product details don’t specify how many ports of each type are included. The 65W USB-C power figure is also worth weighing if you plan to power a connected device through the monitor.
Why it’s worth it
OLED is the draw for players who care about deep blacks and vivid contrast as well as refresh rate. LG lists DisplayHDR True Black 400 and up to 98.5% DCI-P3 color coverage, along with a 1.5M:1 contrast ratio. The description also mentions peak brightness up to 1300 nits under a specific APL condition, so that figure shouldn’t be read as an across-the-screen brightness level in every scene.
Compared with choosing a more basic, flat gaming screen, this model puts more emphasis on a wraparound view, OLED contrast, and high refresh rate in one display. Worth considering if you prioritize immersive ultrawide gaming and fast motion, if you prefer a simpler screen that leaves more room on the desk, the 45-inch curved format is a meaningful compromise. LG also lists anti-glare, flicker-free, and low-blue-light features, but those details don’t change the central buying question: whether you want a large, curved gaming-focused screen.

The listing doesn’t provide the monitor’s overall dimensions, so desk fit is difficult to judge without that measurement. Check your available space and preferred viewing distance before choosing a screen this large.
Buying verdict
This LG makes the most sense for someone building a gaming setup around a wide, immersive view and quick OLED motion. If you prioritize a sweeping 21:9 picture and deep blacks, its combination of an 800R curve, 240Hz refresh rate, and OLED panel gives you a clear reason to consider it over a more conventional flat display. If you prefer a smaller footprint, a less pronounced curve, or a screen aimed at uses beyond gaming, Better avoided if the ultrawide format would dominate your desk or you can’t confirm it will fit. The missing dimensions are a practical drawback here, not a minor detail, settle that question before committing to the 45-inch format.
