LG UltraGear 45GX950A-B 45" OLED 5K2K WUHD 165Hz or WFHD 330Hz 0.03ms G-sync Gaming Monitor

At 45 inches with a 5K2K OLED panel, this monitor solves a specific problem that neither standard ultrawide nor traditional 4K screens handle well: giving you genuine cinematic width without sacrificing the pixel density that makes text and fine detail look sharp at close range. The dual-mode capability — 165Hz at full 5K2K resolution or 330Hz dropping to WFHD — means you can switch between a visually stunning single-player experience and a competitive-grade refresh rate without buying two separate screens. That 0.03ms response time is also genuinely class-leading, not marketing rounding.

Who Is This For?

This is for the serious PC gamer who also edits video or works in wide-format creative applications, and wants one screen that handles both without compromise. You need a powerful GPU to drive 5K2K at any meaningful frame rate — an RTX 4080 or RX 7900 XTX is the realistic starting point, so budget accordingly. If you're primarily a competitive shooter player who lives at high frame rates, a cheaper 1440p 240Hz panel will serve you far better for considerably less money.

What Buyers Say

Owners consistently praise the panel's contrast and black levels, which OLED delivers in ways no IPS or VA screen can match — particularly in dark, atmospheric titles. The curve at 800R also gets strong feedback for immersion at this size. The most repeated complaint centres on the brightness ceiling in SDR mode, which some find underwhelming in brightly lit rooms, and a handful of owners note that LG's joystick navigation on the OSD feels fiddly given the monitor's premium positioning.

The Deal

At £1,549.99 — down £200 from £1,749.99 — this represents an 11% reduction, which is a reasonable saving on a flagship OLED panel. Because this product is newly tracked on our site, we have no historical price data to confirm whether £1,749.99 was the genuine long-term price or a temporary high, so caution is warranted before assuming this is the lowest it will go.
