There was a time only just a couple of years ago when I swore I would never go back to straight panels from a curved ultrawide screen for gaming and homeworking, and even though circumstances demanded I break this oath, it's deals like this one at LG's storefront that always tempt me back, big time.
The screen specialists' own online storefront currently has an absolutely belting deal on a brilliant-looking 45-inch OLED curved beast that will immerse you in your games, no matter what you play — and for $500 less right now.
The LG 45GX950B-B gaming monitor is currently available for $1,499.99 (was $1,999), which is a huge $500 or 25% discount on a model that is stacked with high-end features.
Under the hood of this beautiful beast, there's a 45-inch OLED monitor in a 21:9 ratio and 5120 x 2160 resolution — often referred to as 5K2K.
The screen offers two refresh modes of 165Hz in the full 5K2K resolution or 330Hz in a Wide Full HD resolution for when speed matters most. This is supported by the famously fast 0.03ms response time offered by OLED panels, and is further boosted by the presence of FreeSync Premium Pro and compatibility with Nvidia's G-Sync.
However, all those specs truly come to life in the way it's implemented: in a big OLED screen that's got an immersion-heightening 800R curve that will wrap around you and pull you right into your games.
Get a premium OLED monitor for less at LG
Sadly, TechRadar hasn't reviewed the LG 45GX950B-B monitor, but we're deeply familiar with all the ingredients needed to make a belting gaming monitor, and we're very familiar with how LG leads the way in panel tech and image quality.
As a result, this is an easy recommendation to make in today's climate, and that $500 saving means you can get a premium screen that'll upgrade your gaming experience tangibly, and to no end, for less right now.
