The LG 45GS95QE is a premium-priced, large 45-inch OLED monitor with a curved ultrawide screen, providing an immersive experience ideal for competitive gaming due to its very good refresh rate and outstanding contrast. It has a high resolution suited for productivity, offering sharp visuals and plenty of screen real estate. This monitor excels in color depth and is highly suitable for digital photo editing and print photo editing, with good coverage of professional color gamuts. Its performance for casual gaming is not as strong, potentially due to lower brightness levels and some ghosting. For those interested in HDR gaming and media consumption, this monitor supports it, yet the peak brightness for HDR is not specified. The stand is adjustable for ergonomic comfort, and it includes HDMI 2.1 ports for connectivity. However, it might fall short in tasks that require exceptionally high brightness or better response times. Give Feedback
