OLED gaming displays in an ultrawide format with expanded dimensions but unchanged resolution offer a compelling option. This setup provides a larger viewing area for immersive gameplay without increasing the graphical demands on your PC or notebook. Currently, the LG Ultragear OLED 45GX90SA-B is priced at $899.99, reflecting a substantial $800 reduction from its initial cost.
The LG Ultragear OLED 45GX90SA-B expands the standard 3440×1440 resolution and 21:9 aspect ratio typical of 34-inch ultrawide models to a full 45 inches. This results in approximately 733 square inches of screen real estate, up from 419 square inches on the smaller version, delivering a significantly more expansive display while maintaining the same pixel workload.
While the resolution falls short of that on comparable 49-inch super-ultrawide screens, which are marginally narrower, it also limits additional productivity features outside of gaming or media viewing. Nevertheless, this compromise suits users whose graphics hardware isn't the most advanced.
The display boasts several premium specifications, such as a curved screen for enhanced engagement, a 240Hz refresh rate, and a 0.03ms response time ideal for competitive online play. It includes a USB-C port delivering 65 watts of power for convenient laptop charging—though high-end gaming portables may require more—and integrated WebOS for direct access to streaming services without a computer.
This $800 discount from the list price represents an excellent value, although some may still view $900 as a hefty sum for such a display. For alternative offers, explore ongoing pre-Black Friday promotions, or consult PCWorld's regularly refreshed guide to top monitors.
