Underrated channel, Amazing Video!! Spectacular quality!

I don't think 4k ultrawides exist or even they do it would cost too much and will be hard to run games on it even with a 4090. So I think going for a 1440p ultrawide panel is actually the reasonable move here.

I currently roll with a LG 40WP95C-W as my main with a ppi of 140-it is awesome for productivity as an engineer. I’m currently testing LG’s 45GR95QE-B OLED as a second monitor with a ppi of 80. It is an awesome gaming monitor but not suitable for coding, reverse engineering, running Windows [CMD] or Linux commands on the fly. I’m torn if I should keep the OLED monitor and use it exclusively for gaming or return it. It is an expensive gaming monitor but I'm 85% confident, I will keep the OLED for gaming-esp. since D4 is coming out…

Great video. You do a great job in your explanations of each aspect of this monitor. I just bought the Samsung oled G8 and I’m tempted to get this, just not sure about it because of the price. I got the G8 for $999. Anyway, great job, you earned a sub!

Some people focus on high resolution, some on smooth motion. For me I can't use 120hz even moving windows on the desktop at 120hz bothers me. I have 240hz monitor now and am happy with it, luckily it is not 4k because you need 240fps in-game (during action) to take advantage of the 240hz and it is not easy to achieve 240fps (during action) at 4k

Went with the aw3423dwf for now. Will wait for the price to come down on this in the future.

We're supposed to get a 5k/2k version with MLA+ in Q1 of next year.

It’s a nice monitor for media consumption and gaming. The low ppi
Makes working on it for productivity work/ coding more difficult and cause eye strain for some . I recently got it and boy gaming is great . I have not had issues with the Low ppi for basic web browsing, forums and what not. For my normal use it’s been good. I had to get a new work display so my 38 inch went to the work side and with a side by side comparison you can definitely tell . I’m 90% sure I’m keeping it, I wanted a curved display that had more vertical real estate then my 38 had and this feels the perfect size for what I wanted. I thought about the C2 since that one looks awesome but the glossy is a no good for my setup . Juts my opinion this far

[TillTheLightTakesUs]

So.. I got a question. I play single player games. Is C2 more for me or this? OR G3? I may splurge for G3 if it's gonna be better than C2 or this one. The only thing stopping me from buying this is the oled lifespan. Since this isn't too brighter than C2, I feel like I'm buying an expensive C2 with the C2's expected lifespan. G3 and G series in general have 5 yr warranty which also means longer oled life.

Resolution is too low for me.
I got an 38" 3840x1600p IPS Ultrawide with 160Hz. Love it, perfect sweet spot

[Paul-ifjq]

Its not a OLED issue but I totally agree with the resolution....games are ok, desktop not so... 3440 x 1440 max resolution is 32" screen so stretching this to 45" is not good. I suggest 4k 42" screen,

[tonac]

It should have 5K2K resolution. 3440x1440 is way too low.

[avgjoesgamin]

I have this monitor I have a 40, 80 and 4090 and the 4080 max is resolution and FPS at 1440 without a problem my 4090 actually performs worse

[WhatisReal]

at this size... lg tvs make more sense with the 4k

[roshawn]

why in gods name would they drop the refresh rate? Just because you can't hit it doesn't mean you are not benefiting from it

[avgjoesgamin]

The problem is with the 4090 there is no CPU on the market right now fast enough to push that 4090 at 1440 P you’ll get the same result with a 4080 with a 13 900 K Aetna better at 1440 P to 4090 bottlenecks. Any resolution under 4K

PPI is crap! Would be the ultimate monitor if it was 5120x2160!

[emonkhan]

Everything and i mean everything we perfect but ppi🤮

[Macho_Man_Randy_Savage]

Da fuck, a 3440x1440 45"panel? Man, I had a 34" 3440x1440 in 2016 and that felt too pixelated for me. (I don't care about PPI, I know people like to use it as a metric but I always found it irrelevant) This thing needs to be 5120x2160 before I'd consider and gloss. I had a 38" 3840x1600 a few years ago and I feel like we need an OLED panel like this. Still loving my 42" C2, so vibrant without the stupid matte coating. *Gloss is Boss!*

I got the Alienware 3423dwf the other week.... OLED monitors are freaking insane. If you can stretch budget for one, do it. I've had 7 different monitors in the past 2 yrs, from a 4k Acer predator to a 360hz 24' Asus ROG.... OLED blows everything out the water. Well worth the investment
