LG Display has just begun mass production of a 45-inch gaming monitor that packs the highest resolution ever seen in OLED — 1.3 times higher than 4K.

Sorry but I don't think anyone is blown away by a slightly sharper, slightly smoother visual experience than what you are used to.

Nobody really needs to game @ 4k unless on a TV.

The next milestone in gaming these days is never something that blows anyone away. Them days are gone.

I wonder what compels people to think they need this stuff.

The difference in price to build a 4k game system (including a decent monitor) and a 1440 one is massive, possibly twice as much and the difference in appearance isn't night and day.

Yet I see a lot of top end builds on Reddit etc where they have an amazing system which is beautiful. But if you look beyond the PC they are living in an horrible house/apartment.

Think a lot of people who buy this stuff have their priorities all messed up or know nobody else is ever coming in their home.

PC components are a poor man's status symbol, anyone with a credit card can go and get the best system available and present themselves as superior.

I think articles like this are irresponsible, the main thing which will blow people away about this monitor is the price, it is something a lot of people will buy who in reality can't afford it.

The most useless thing is that to accompany a high refresh rate of about +/-150 on newest games on UW resolution 3440x1440 a 4090 is only about able to do that, and with appearance of 5090 surely you could gain a little bit more on that, but that resolution is lower in amount of total pixels compared to 4k.

So now 5k x 2160p is even higher amount of pixels over standard 4k, does anyone even understand that no card is able to run games on such screen on high refresh rate, unless youre fine with suboptimal feeling of 50 fps which then invalidates all the technology, features, and the refresh of such screens.

With this said, I can comfortably say that probably not even a 6090 will be able to do that. But it's definitely not a 5090. If you want an UW stick to 1440p uw.

I'm sorry but GPUs cant run this at a good enough FPS to be woth it anyone with brain cells should be able to see this more useless tech that has no business existing in the hopes stupid people will buy it

What would really change the game is a 48:9 monitor with something like an 800R curve. Basically, a sim racing monitor that can replace a triple monitor setup.

Sorry, but what gpu exists which can handle this resolution? What's the point? 1% of everyone who games, games at 4k on PC according to steam.

No one cares about these monitors except people who have no idea about tech, and end up running their game at 1080p on their 5K2KWhateverK screen.

Not sure what everyone is hating on this monitor. I am really excited for it.

Those saying that no GPU can handle the resolution are outright wrong. My 4090 does just fine in many cases. Maybe in new AAA games with all the settings maxed you will have some difficulty getting high fps. However in less graphically demanding titles it's not an issue.

I recently started playing Horizon Zero Dawn because I never played it when it came out and on my current LG 45GR95QEB I push 5k2k via DLDSR and maxed out I'm locked at 120fps. I also play a lot of indie games and they play at 5k2k 100+ fps no issues as well.

For comparison I tried cyberpunk max settings 5k2k and with DLSS quality and frame gen I got 60 fps. Turning off DLSS and frame gen drops me to 17 fps. Also to note that was with the older DLSS before the DLSS 4 update which should improve things a tiny bit. With the new multi frame gen on 5090 you should be able to easily get 100+ fps. While the 5090 is hard to find right now, that will hopefully improve and this monitor will be a perfect pairing.

Obviously this monitor is beyond the capability of many GPUs but with its supposed $1999 price they aren't targeting anything but the highest tier gamers which will likely all have 4090 or 5090.

Not trying to start a war but just want people to know that it is completely possible to utilize this monitor and it will be absolutely beautiful to do so.

Less than 1% of people own a 4090 according to the Jan Steam hardware survey. My point is, these articles are aimed at the 1% and they seem to be incredibly prevalent. The 5090 is even worse, as the performance uplift is so marginal for a $2000+ card. Older games should be fine, but newer games are going to need DLSS+Multi-Framegen to achieve playable framerates.

One recent trend in tech journalism is talking about 4k like it's something everyone wants or needs, when the truth is the large majority of people are using 1080p cards. The most common 1440p card is the 4070 Super, and that is only 2% of everyone.

Yes, you can turn on DLSS and have a 4k experience, but DLSS reduces visual quality and introduces a bunch of visual artefact issues. I thought the point of 4k was to improve it.

I'm in the market now for a new monitor, and I'm looking at 1440p. I could afford a 4k card and 4k monitor, but I have zero interest in wasting a ton of money on a resolution that's going to just cause headaches when trying to set up games.
