Get a 45-inch OLED ultrawide gaming monitor for $800 off  | amznusa.com

There’s a very specific form factor of OLED gaming monitor that I find appealing: the size upgrade that doesn’t come with a resolution bump. That means you get a bigger, bolder picture to play on, without taxing your gaming desktop or laptop with more pixels to push. Today you can get a 45-inch OLED ultrawide from LG for $899.99, a cool $800 off the original price.

Like I said, the LG Ultragear OLED 45GX90SA-B pulls a neat trick, blowing out the 3440×1440 resolution and 21:9 aspect ratio normally found on 34-inch ultrawides all the way to 45 inches wide. That’s about 733 square inches for the full panel compared to 419 square inches. It’s way bigger is the point I’m making here, all without any extra power needed to deliver the same visuals.

Granted, the resolution isn’t as splendiferous on the similarly-sized (but actually slightly smaller) 49-inch, super-duper-mega ultrawides, and you won’t get any extra multitasking capability when not playing a game or watching video. But I think it’s a good tradeoff for anyone who doesn’t have the latest and greatest graphics card.

This monitor has plenty of other high-end features, including a dramatic curved panel for immersion, a 240Hz refresh rate, and a .03ms response time for high-speed multiplayer gaming, USB-C with 65 watts of power for easy laptop connections (though the most powerful gaming laptops might need a little more juice), and built-in WebOS apps for streaming content with no PC needed at all.

$800 off the retail price is pretty dang fantastic, though I wouldn’t blame you if you think $900 is still too much, even for a very nice monitor.
