Summary
Overall, the LG 45GR95QE is an excellent choice for gaming enthusiasts looking for a high-performance monitor. The combination of stunning image clarity, high contrast, and awesome HDR make it an outstanding gaming monitor. In addition, the LG 45GR95QE offers multiple connectivity options, including DisplayPort, HDMI, and USB, to connect a wide range of devices and use the monitor as a central display.
Thanks to NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro support, the LG 45GR95QE-B can reduce screen tearing and stuttering, further enhancing the gaming experience and enabling immersive gaming. When it comes to working, I was still surprised, because two weeks – almost exclusively working on the still quite large screen – convinced me.
Where there is shine, there is also shadow. Unfortunately, the monitor does not offer USB-C in connection with a KVM switch. LG also cannot keep all promised values. The monitor does not achieve 200 nits in SDR. LG should perhaps adjust its homepage in this regard or define under which conditions (white point) the brightness in SDR and HDR is expected. The EOTF tracking is currently far from accurate. But in the end, it’s not a deal-breaker either.
Subpixel layout (text clarity) and pixel density is something I have to hold back on at this point. Personally, it doesn’t bother me, not even when working. But my opinion doesn’t apply to all readers.
Conclusion
If you like it big when gaming, you’ll certainly be happy in front of this monitor. It offers a very good overall package, where the strengths clearly outweigh the weaknesses. Pixel density and text clarity have become almost too inflated for me and have too much of a subjective character. Demonizing a product without having really used it?
In the end, the current street price of about 1,300 Euros is on the books. Yes, that is still a lot of money, but it is much cheaper than at the launch. LG or the retailer wanted around 1,800 Euros. Is the price justified? In my opinion, 1,300 Euros is the maximum that the monitor can cost. If you want to spend that much money, you’re not doing anything wrong, except maybe spending money. You will easily be happy with the monitor for the next 5 to 10 years.
Before someone asks me: LG 45GR95QE or Corsair Xeneon Flex? I don’t know, preferably both. Both monitors have – more or less – the same weaknesses and strengths. At least the LG doesn’t have such an annoying ABL as the Corsair. Price-wise, the LG has the edge. Whether the bendable panel of the Corsair Flex is worth its extra price (about 1,700 Euros) in the end? You’ll have to decide for yourselves…
To all readers: I’m often asked “can you test monitor X or Y”. Of course I would like to do that. Unfortunately I don’t have contact to all manufacturers yet. I can’t buy the monitors either, so I ask for patience and understanding. Who has a monitor at home, which he would like to have tested, can write me via forum. I’m sure something can be arranged and in the end there will be an article for the community.
The monitor was provided to me by LG Electronics without obligation – for testing purposes. There was no influence on the tests and results. There was also no compensation for expenses and no obligation to publish.
