# LG UltraGear 45GX950A 45" 5K2K OLED (165Hz / 330Hz dual-mode)

**The Dream Screen — 45" 5K2K OLED** — DealCoconut researched pick in Monitors
Canonical page: https://www.dealcoconut.com/p/dream-5k2k.html

- Current price: $1,447.55 (MSRP $1,999.99)
- Known low: $1,350.00 (Feb 2026)
- Buy timing: **Fair price** — $1,447 is 28% under MSRP, but it touched $1,350 in February. Fine now, better on the next sale event.
- Reliability: **4/5** — LG's OLED panels carry a 2-year warranty and LG makes the panels themselves. Burn-in mitigation (pixel shift, refresh cycles) runs automatically; mixed usage is exactly the profile RTINGS found safe long-term.
- Price note: verified 2026-07-02 (Amazon) — hit $1,350 in February · auto-checked 2026-07-02

**Why this pick:** The one monitor that does everything at once: 45 inches of OLED at 5120×2160 — genuinely high resolution, not the stretched 1440p of older ultrawides — 165Hz for immersive gaming, a 330Hz pixel-doubled mode for competitive play, and movie-theater contrast for everything else.

**What it beat:** Older 45" ultrawides (45GR95QE class) with 3440×1440 stretched across 45" — visibly soft text; and dual-monitor setups costing similar money with none of the seamlessness.

**Cheaper alternative:** The two picks above — this screen is for people consolidating a gaming monitor AND a work setup AND a movie screen into one purchase; then $1,450 is genuinely reasonable.

## Common questions
- Do games support 21:9 at 5K2K? — Most modern titles yes; for the ones that don't, the dual-mode 16:9 emulation handles it — that's the feature that fixes ultrawide's classic weakness.
- GPU needed? — 5K2K pushes ~33% more pixels than 4K: you want RX 9070 XT / RTX 5070 Ti class or better for high-refresh AAA gaming.
- Desk fit? — It's 39" wide and wants 30"+ of depth for the curve; measure first, and the included stand is large.
