LG 45GX950A-B

“tl;dr: I've used both of these for productivity, I say go with the \*\*40U990A-W\*\*! \--- To replace my BenQ EW3280U 32-inch 4K, I originally tried the 45GX950A-B and it is definitely a great monitor. Colors and contrast are amazing, and I could see the curve being immersive for games. I really, really wanted the OLED blacks! However, it is not well suited for productivity: \- Native resolution text rendering, while acceptable, was not better than my previous BenQ \- The reduced pixel density (125 ppi) was noticeable (I CAN SeE THe PixEls!) which contributed to the lack of text crispness \- The curve was too distracting for me while working in my text editor or terminal \- The size felt just a bit too large when looking back and forth across the screen \--- The 40U990A-W solved most of those concerns, for me! \- After having both the 45GX950A-B and 40U990A-W running side-by-side for a day, I was able to adjust the image settings on the IPS 40U990A-W to pretty closely match the colors of the OLED \- But of course, I could not quite match the vibrancy and contrast of the OLED, but I spend my days coding not editing photos or video \- The more gentle curve is pretty perfect for my viewing distance, IMO \- While, the size \_could be\_ a little larger... \- That would affect the pixel density (139 ppi) \- Which is just a tiny bit better than my previous BenQ (138 ppi ≈ 139 ppi) \- Native resolution text rendering is significantly better than the 45GX950A-B OLED \--- All that said, if the next gen of 5K2K OLEDs solve for text rendering and come in a 40" to 42" size... I'll have to take a look at those when the time comes.”
