Its panel is an older VA type, not OLED, IPS or mini-LED.\n\nThe rest of the spec sheet is modest. Brightness is 400 nits in standard mode and 600 nits in HDR. The monitor carries DisplayHDR 600 certification but has no local dimming, which means it cannot dim parts of the screen independently. LG rates contrast at 4,000:1 and response at 1 ms grey-to-grey, though the reviewer noted that response specs rarely tell the full story. Ports include two HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1 and USB-C with 90 W power delivery. The screen is 21:9 with a tight 1000R curve.\n\nThe reviewer, who used a 49-inch 32:9 ultrawide as a main display for about 18 months, still found this one overwhelming. Width matches those 49-inch models. Height and depth do not, and the monitor barely fit on a large desk. Pixel response was described as not great, with dark tones the weak spot, as on most VA panels. Pixel overdrive, a feature that speeds up transitions, is also locked out in the sRGB and DCI-P3 colour modes.\n\nThe case for it is immersion. At 107 pixels per inch, it sits close to a 27-inch 1440p monitor (109) and well ahead of a 55-inch 4K TV (80). It still trails a 32-inch 4K monitor (138). That makes it usable at desk distance, where a flat TV would look coarse and its edges would sit at a sharp angle.\n\nThe awkward part is the price. The same money reaches OLED TVs up to around 65 inches, and those win on contrast. So the LG suits a narrow buyer: someone who wants a wraparound screen for slower games like The Witcher III and accepts that fast shooters and esports play badly on it. A screen that demands constant head turns gets less useful as the action speeds up.","[\"gaming-monitors\",\"lg\",\"ultrawide\",\"pc-gaming\"]","2026-10-23T14:31:50.000Z","2026-10-23T15:18:58.270Z","2026-11-08T00:09:38.820Z","published","The article still never says whose review this is: name PC Gamer at the first mention of 'the reviewer' (e.g. 'PC Gamer's reviewer noted...'), which leaves editor-r2 and editor-r3 unresolved.",[24,30,35,39],{"id":25,"reviewer":26,"round":27,"reason":28,"status":29},"editor-r1","editor",1,"Delete the line 'though the source cuts off before the verdict', which is a stray meta note about the source and leaves the section unfinished; instead state only what the review says (pixel response is 'not great', and VA panels are typically weakest in dark-tone response), and end the piece with a proper closing line that does not imply a dark-tone verdict the source never gave.","resolved",{"id":31,"reviewer":26,"round":32,"reason":33,"status":34},"editor-r2",2,"Name PC Gamer as the source of the review in the first mention of 'the reviewer' (the article never says whose review this is), and replace 'He called it' with 'the reviewer called it', since the source gives no gender.","open",{"id":36,"reviewer":26,"round":37,"reason":38,"status":34},"editor-r3",3,"The article still never says whose review this is: name PC Gamer in the first mention of 'the reviewer' (e.g. 'PC Gamer's reviewer found...').
