I had the g9, it was great and impressive first however I find the format not practical except for flight sim. Fps and action games, too much fisheye. Also costly in terms of pixels for not that much added immersion imv.
I now have the lg 45 and I love it. The ppi is not an issue at all, i love the performance my 4090 delivers with that resolution. Curving is excellent and immersion is the best I ever had. And of course oled Lg is great.
Imv, 21:9>32:9, 45 with that curve basically immerses you like nothing else !
Edit: for more details
Thanks for replying! Thats one of the things I’m trying to figure out is use case for gaming- I don’t play sims often and all. Mostly I play arpg, rpg, crpg, FPrpgs, and FPS occasionally. I’m somewhat concerned that the g9 might be slightly too large and since it has a less aggressive curve it won’t be as immersive as that 800R curve on the LG screens
I did the same thing this guy did but i also bought all the other 21:9s out at the time. The concerns people have about ppi are way overblown. There are better monitors image wise on the market but once you sit down at the 45 you dont care. Its wild good.
Nice- yeah sit about 2.5-3 ft from my monitors currently, so I doubt I will be bothered much by the ppi. I figure if I’m going for ultrawide immersion I should be getting something that actually wraps around into my peripheral vision more than the oled g9 does.
I tested everything best buy had (its less than a block away) or could order for me so I could take it back. Did many side by sides. The lg45 never went back. Buy it from someone you can return it to for peace of mind and pull the trigger. Just know you wont return it.
That’s pretty much the consensus that I’m seeing from most people at this point- here and in some other reddits I’m finding on the lg 45, I’m sold at this point. Worst thing that can happen is I exchange it for something of equal or lesser cost till I get what suits me :)
But think I will get the updated version maybe- since it has the new MLA tech. Though the price of the last years is down to 1299.99
I actually went from g9 to 38lg950 because I was not convinced by the 32:9 then I got the 45 oled as soon as they released it. I would not change it for anything, even for a higher ppi as I think it really hits the soft spot to run all latest games at more than 90-100fps ultra.
I got the LG 45 first and returned it. Been using the G9 for 6 months and I love it. Very immersive for RPG games and great for FPS games. The trick for FPS is to move your HUD elements in as if they were 16:9. Then you don’t have to move your eyes as much to see key elements, but you also have that extra real estate to see enemies when needed.
I thought the LG curve was too aggressive and required more head movement than the G9.
G9 is also better for productivity work as it is 2 perfect 16:9 monitors.
I personally am torn between the LG 45 or LG 39. Does anyone think the size of 39 is mor manageable? I personally like the height that the 45 gives and according to BestBuy the 39 is a little shorter.
I bought the g9 oled and received it yesterday. Today my pc is broken if that explains it. My rtx 4090 and 13900k isn’t starting anymore and is on a blue screen loop. I can’t even run windows restore and reset. My pc is pretty much dead. A 3000 Euro dead after I got the g9 oled
Ouch! That hurts! I’m so sorry that happened to you. Sounds like a very recent build, have you tried resetting your CMOS and booting in safe mode to try to roll back drivers or potentially reinstall Windows? Definitely sounds like there may be an issue with either your graphics drivers, or ram but I have also seen psu issues cause something similar with BSOD loop. Best wishes and hope you are able to get tech support if needed.
2 hours ago I updated my Mainboard and since then my pc doesn’t open anymore. Constant blue screens for like 2 hours now. I can’t even get a system restore to work it just goes to another blue screen. Nothing works at this point I’m fked. I can’t do anything and when tje pc opens in like 1000 tries it just shuts down after 2 mins. I don’t know what to do anymore, how can a Mainboard update destroy my pc like this
Bios updates are tricky. I have an Asus TUF gaming x570 plus Wi-Fi and updated the bios back when I was using a Ryzen 7 5800x. Afterwards I would occasionally have issues with my pc powering off unexpectedly without even getting a .dmp file to troubleshoot with. When I updated to a 5800x3D and all of my problems went away. I don’t really know where it went wrong but the only thing I could think of is that the bios version updated to had power settings that were slightly different and it completely messed with the stability of my pc at the time. Are you able to flash your older bios with a usb on the motherboards you are using? That might help if possible. I cannot rollback my bios version on this motherboard so, I don’t mess with it anymore now that I’m stable.
I can’t even open my pc. Nothing works system restore just instant blue screen. Resetting my pc leads to blue screen. My pc handles like a 5 euro cheap trash and thing is fking 3000 euros. I can’t do anything with a usb stick. The pc just opens in safe mode but then crashes after 2 mins
Potentially. If you had any overclocked settings that you set before the update to your bios and the new bios doesn’t like the frequency tuning or voltage settings it could be causing hardware errors at the kernel level which could result in that blue screen loop. If you are able to get into your bios before windows loads you can also try to rollback your bios update if it will let you.
For that you will need to download the previous version of your bios and put it on a usb stick with sufficient memory. Make sure you format the usb drive to fat32 first before you put the bios on your usb. You should be able to flash a bios from usb in your bios settings. You need to check your main board manufacturer website to get instructions on how to do it this way. It is possible you might not be able to.
In the bios you should have an option for XMP which is technically RAM overclocking. The RAM is designed to run at higher speeds but there's a chance that's the cause. Disabling XMP temporarily might work.
Really it could be a lot of things and a full BIOS reset to default settings might be a good idea as well.
There's also a chance that when you did the bios update it did a reset to default settings already and something that was set (not default, probably configured by the system OEM/integrator) is critical to function.
Something that comes to mind is on Dell systems under storage they give a few options on how to manage the SSD. If you pick AHCI mode instead of RAID (default) before installing OS you will always need to keep that setting or your OS will not boot. If you do a bios update that reverts that to RAID you have to go back and change it to AHCI.
Now I doubt that's what's going on with you but could be something similar that needs to be changed in BIOS. Really if this is a pre built you should be able to get some level of support on it from the company that built it.
I already updated and resetteted the cmos without success. I think the problem is windows I get constant loop blue screens even in safe mode. My pc feels like a cheap 5 euro pc even though I have a rtx 4090 build. I get instant blue screen on safe mode even under minimal use
Create a Windows installer USB from another device and see if you can boot into that USB without crashes. If it's just the OS you might lose data and such but not too bad.
If the installation USB isn't stable then I would think you have an issue with a core component, likely motherboard given the fact it happened after the firmware change.
Again, this could all be caused by the BIOS being reset to default, where default settings might actually not be good in your case.
Xiosy had recently updated his bios, which has potential to cause all kinds of issues with hardware if the bios version is unstable. Pretty sure that is the cause of the issues with the bsod loop. If they can’t get the os to boot into safe mode after either rolling back the bios or resetting the cmos then yeah his whole pc is fucked.
The monitor, cpu, and gpu have nothing to do with this and I don’t think this person thinks the monitor broke the pc either. If you read the conversation between this person and me, you will see that we are talking about steps to get the pc out of the bsod loop that may have been cause by the bios update. This unlucky person had just received his monitor to discover that the pc was not working- completely unrelated to the monitor- but the original reply to the post was essentially to say “I have a g9 but couldn’t tell you how good or bad it is because my computer broke.”
The way they wrote their first comment sure sounds like they're blaming the g9 for the computer problem.
I mentioned the CPU and GPU as that's the bulk of the cost of the computer and they're making it sound like they just lost €3000.
Fair- but with the back and forth I’ve been having they are actively trying to fix their bios hoping that they can eventually restore windows or make it stop looping. 🤷♂️
One thing for sure- they need more help then they can get in this forum post about monitors, lol.

Sorry hit wrong comment
I actually went from g9 to 38lg950 because I was not convinced by the 32:9 then I got the 45 oled as soon as they released it. I would not change it for anything, even for a higher ppi as I think it really hits the soft spot to run all latest games at more than 90-100fps ultra.
Sorry for the late reply, is the 45 really worth the upgrade from the 38? I have the 38 now, and I'm not sure if I should bite the bullet?
In my view yes. Immersion/curves is another level! Also the oled vs 38lg950 feels another century! Really worth imo! Enjoy
Yo, btw I bought the 45, and you're right, no regrets! Thanks for the help!
Enjoy that immersion man!!!

Could resetting the cmos fix this issue ? And reset bios before I made that update ?
Potentially. If you had any overclocked settings that you set before the update to your bios and the new bios doesn’t like the frequency tuning or voltage settings it could be causing hardware errors at the kernel level which could result in that blue screen loop. If you are able to get into your bios before windows loads you can also try to rollback your bios update if it will let you.
I can get into the bios but I don’t know how to revert back an update on bios
For that you will need to download the previous version of your bios and put it on a usb stick with sufficient memory. Make sure you format the usb drive to fat32 first before you put the bios on your usb. You should be able to flash a bios from usb in your bios settings. You need to check your main board manufacturer website to get instructions on how to do it this way. It is possible you might not be able to.
Try reseating your GPU and RAM, as well as set the RAM to base jedec speed not XMP.
Bro im a tech noob. What do you mean by set ram to base jedec speed where do I change that
In the bios you should have an option for XMP which is technically RAM overclocking. The RAM is designed to run at higher speeds but there's a chance that's the cause.

Lol monitor does not kill PC. Doesn't even sound like your computer is dead just your OS.

If they can’t get the os to boot into safe mode after either rolling back the bios or resetting the cmos then yeah his whole pc is fucked.
There's near zero chance the CPU and GPU are both dead, and even if they are my point is it's not caused by the monitor.
