LG Announces UltraGear 240Hz Curved OLED Gaming Monitor
LG Electronics (LG) is unveiling its latest premium monitors at IFA 2022 in Berlin, Germany, including the superb, new UltraGear OLED gaming monitor (model 45GR95QE). LG's first curved OLED display with a 240Hz refresh rate, the 45-inch model is designed for immersive gaming experiences, offering the visual performance, speed and features serious gamers demand.
Visitors to LG's booth at IFA 2022 can explore a wide range of cutting-edge LG monitor products, including the new UltraGear and the UltraFine Display Ergo AI (model 32UQ890), which delivers a truly customizable setup for superior user comfort at home or at the office.UltraGear OLED Gaming Monitor
In addition to being LG's first 45-inch curved OLED gaming monitor with a 21:9 aspect ratio and WQHD (3440 x 1440) resolution, the 45GR95QE is also the company's first-ever display to combine a 45-inch screen-size with an 800R curvature; a pairing that helps boost users' sense of immersion. A genuine gaming powerhouse, the 45GR95QE will be displayed at IFA 2022 along with LG's impressive 48GQ900 UltraGear OLED gaming monitor.As one would expect, the company's newest gaming monitor ramps up the realism and responsiveness, offering excellent picture quality as well as unrivaled speed. Along with a 240Hz refresh rate and 0.1 millisecond Gray-to-Gray (GTG) response time, the 45GR95QE provides 98.5 percent coverage of the DCI-P3 color space, superior HDR10 performance and support for HDMI 2.1 - including features such as Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) - and DisplayPort 1.4. Thanks to its large size, 21:9 aspect ratio, borderless design and 800R screen curvature, the new UltraGear helps transport users into their favorite PC or console games as few other monitors can. What's more, it is also the ideal size for most desk setups and offers smooth multitasking with features such as Picture-by-Picture (PBP) and Picture-in-Picture (PIP).
The UltraGear brand's first curved OLED gaming monitor, the 45GR95QE delivers the same, stellar OLED picture quality as its predecessor (model 48GQ900) while adding an 800R curvature and LG's Anti-glare & Low Reflection coating. These key enhancements help to increase users' sense of being in the game, enveloping them in the onscreen action and reducing annoying, visual distractions at the same time. LG's industry-leading OLED display technology also puts less strain on users' eyes, which is especially helpful for those who enjoy losing themselves in long, uninterrupted gaming sessions.
UltraFine Display Ergo AI
LG's UltraFine Display Ergo AI is making its much-anticipated debut at IFA 2022. The groundbreaking 32UQ890 is the first LG monitor capable of automatically adjusting its position to ensure continued ergonomic comfort throughout the day. With a built-in camera leveraging advanced AI, the UltraFine Display Ergo AI can continuously analyze the posture of the user - making subtle changes to screen height (0 ~ 160mm) and tilt (-20º ~ +20º) to prevent them from remaining in a single position for too long or from falling into poor posture over time. The 32UQ890 has three ergonomics-enhancing modes: AI Motion, Continuous Motion and Periodic Motion. AI Motion, which will be demonstrated at LG's booth during IFA, tracks the user's eye-level and adjusts height and tilt whenever a change is detected.LG's UltraFine Display Ergo AI sports a 31.5-inch 4K (3840 x 2160) IPS display with 95 percent coverage of DCI-P3 and excellent HDR image reproduction. The combination of a premium, high-resolution screen and an articulated stand that can be intelligently adjusted by LG's AI technology, the 32UQ890 is a customized, comfort-enhancing workstation solution for busy professionals.
"LG's portfolio of innovative products on show at IFA 2022 embraces the latest trends and technologies to meet the needs and lifestyles of today's diverse consumers," said Seo Young-jae, senior vice president and head of the IT business unit of LG Electronics Business Solutions Company. "Our brand-new UltraGear OLED gaming monitor elevates the gaming experience with its curved screen, anti-glare solution and ultra-fast 240Hz refresh rate, while the UltraFine Display Ergo AI delivers outstanding user comfort with its ergonomic features and futuristic design. We're excited to debut both of these exceptional products at IFA and to be back on the ground in Berlin after a two-year break due to the pandemic."
LG's exhibition booth (Hall 18, Messe Berlin) at IFA 2022 from September 2-6 will give visitors the opportunity to experience the company's very latest consumer electronics innovations, including its new display solutions for productivity (Ergo) and entertainment/gaming (UltraGear).

Ouh la la~
A 16:9 32 inch OLED is what I needed.
You heard that LG?
Thirty-Two Inches Flat OLED
Finally a panel that, on paper, has no compromises that I care about.
Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I mean, sure, higher PPI is nice to have, but is it realistic to drive anything more at 240hz? I don't think so. So I guess you're right, PPI is the only compromise, but it's not one I care about in this instance.
This is for my 32" G7 which I don't really have issues with at normal viewing distance.
Anyone know if it's pentile or has a good subpixel arrangement?
For work, it's the same as any other large monitor, literally just move it further back on the desk and you won't see the pixels. I know it's not ideal, 4k240hz is pretty much what you want at this size, but nothing, literally no GPU that exists, can drive that, I doubt RTX4xxx and RX7xxx will be able to drive that either.
I appreciate that higher density is good for video editing, photo touching up, native 4K video playback etc - but are these the critical jobs for the target audience? I don't see why everyone gets so worked up when the monitor isn't perfectly tailored for them. If you want a content creation 4k OLED at 32" they exist, and will set you back 10K+ from sony or whatever.
Eventually a monitor that has no compromises for 2022 buyers will exist, but by that time standards will have gone forward in other areas, and there'll still be a faster, or higher resolution monitor etc available.
That pixel density is for TVs while watching from meters away.
The desktop monitor has to have big pixel density because you normally are less than a meter apart (depends on the size of the monitor).
The problem I have with the ultrawides is that I can not watch 4K movies from Prime, Netflix, Disney+ etc.
So, I prefer a 16:9 OLED 42-48'' rather than a 45'' no matter the resolution of the latter.
Speaking from experience, OLED can do a lot of the heavy lifting in the experience, and the refresh is good... I really wonder how clear the image really appears tohugh.
Some compromises would be for the best.

I like that its OLED but why they choose not to increase the resolution to atleast 3840x1600 like the 38' models? And that 800R curve hard pass.
hopefully it will be less that 3000$
One of the LG execs had a mystifying quite recently where he said that 800R is the most desired curve radius among gamers. According to what...? There are barely any monitors with that curve out. This is an extreme curve, and with such a low density, it's hard to imagine it being very popular. 27" 1440p is confirmed as coming, and maybe they'll do 32" 1440p too. If you want 4K though, I don't think LG is capable of making a good W-OLED display with that much pixel density. The more dense the display, the lower the "pixel aperture ratio," which is the ratio of illuminated panel surface area to non-illuminated area. This results in lower brightness and less burn-in resistance. LG needs another brightness/efficiency innovation or two before they can comfortably do 32" 4K, it seems.
The 91PPI of my G7 is absolutely fine, but improvements are always worth including.
