If you are looking for large, modern gaming monitors without compromising on quality during work, then LG Display has decided to meet these expectations by presenting 45-inch OLED models with a resolution of 5K2K (5120×2160). The new devices are set to stand out with a brightness of up to 1300 nits and the presence of Dynamic Frequency & Resolution (DFR) technology.
Key Features of the New OLED Monitors
The monitors have been designed with gamers in mind, but also for those who expect detailed images and a large workspace. Thanks to OLED technology, you can count on deep blacks, vibrant colours, and reduced eye strain – the emission of blue light is significantly lower than in typical LCD displays. When it comes to motion fluidity, excellent response times, high refresh rates, and low input lag ensure guaranteed satisfaction for gamers. Let's add to this the DFR features and... what exactly is DFR?
Dynamic Frequency & Resolution: What is it?
DFR allows for seamless switching between 330 Hz mode at a lower resolution and 165 Hz mode at 5K resolution. The effect? Image fluidity tailored for dynamic action games or high detail for titles where graphics are key... or we simply want to switch to "work" mode with a large workspace. And it is this "hybrid" solution that LG aims to attract buyers' attention to their products featuring these panels.
Format 21:9 – wide field of view
As befits a monitor with a panoramic format, it provides a wider field of view in games, which can translate into an advantage in gameplay. At the same time, it allows for the comfortable arrangement of several windows during work or watching films on a large, panoramic screen.
Deep blacks and saturated colours
In our reviews of OLED televisions, we have often highlighted their advantages, but it is worth reminding. OLED technology provides perfect black and vibrant colours, as each pixel emits light independently. With brightness reaching 1300 nits, the image remains clear even in bright rooms. Additionally, the wide colour palette ensures that the monitor is suitable not only for gaming but also for professional photo and video editing.
Risk of Burn-in and Other Challenges
Although OLED monitors have many advantages, one must not forget the potential for burn-in of static screen elements. Much depends on the implemented protections and the way the device is used. It is also worth noting the price, which can be high in the premium segment.
Competition in the Premium Segment
The premium monitor market is constantly evolving. Among the competition, we find both mini-LED screens but above all organic matrices from the second Korean manufacturer – namely QD-OLED from Samsung. LG Display is trying to distinguish its panels against other solutions. But is it successful? The first reviews and the number of interested buyers for these "monsters" will answer this question.
Is it worth considering the new monitors from LG Display?
If you are looking for a monitor for gaming and work, the offering of a panel from LG Display may be worth considering. The 21:9 format, high brightness, and the ability to choose between speed and high resolution are advantages that can be appreciated not only by avid gamers. However, the final verdict depends on individual preferences and financial capabilities – OLED monitors still fall into the higher price category. Although we hope that after the recent announcements and financial reports, this will soon change.
