LG UltraGear OLED 45 MSRP $1,700.00 Score Details DT Recommended Product “The UltraGear OLED 45 is unmatched for gaming, but it's not the best for desktop use.” Pros Cons For the past couple of years, OLED has struggled to find a place among the best gaming monitors, but LG’s UltraGear OLED 45 feels uniquely positioned for high-end PC gaming.
Throwing the UltraGear OLED 45 on a mount isn’t a bad idea, as the included stand doesn’t have a ton of room for adjustment. A dilemma between monitor and TV The LG OLED 45 has a standard array of ports — two HDMI 2.1 and a single DisplayPort 1.4 for inputs, along with two USB 3.2 Gen 1 connections through the built-in USB hub. Like most LG monitors, the ports are around the back of the display, rather than underneath like on the Samsung Odyssey Neo G8. That means the connections stick out a bit, but with a monitor this large, it’s hardly an issue.
When I looked at the 27-inch model, I had problems with a screw covering the battery slot for the remote, which also applies here. The larger issue here, though, is that there’s no way to control the monitor apart from the remote, and it’s annoying and time-consuming to painstakingly click through the quick access menu.
Dim as it is, there’s no doubt that the LG UltraGear OLED 45 is beautiful. It has an extended color range, and I measured 96% of DCI-P3 in my testing. It clocked in with a color error of 1.5 in SDR. That’s far better than some other OLED panels I’ve tested, like the Asus ROG PG27AQDM, though the LG OLED 45 showed a noticeable bump in yellows.
As with any OLED panel, it’s important to mention a few disclaimers here. There’s always a small risk of OLED burn-in, though the hysteria surrounding OLED burn-in is a bit overblown. I didn’t have the slightest hint of image retention during my testing, and the UltraGear OLED 45 will automatically dim after a few minutes of inactivity.
