Know before you buy
The 800R curve is quite aggressive, designed to wrap the 45-inch display around your field of vision. This creates a highly immersive experience that minimizes distortion at the edges, making it ideal for simulation games and cinematic content where you want to feel 'inside' the action.
Yes, the integrated webOS allows you to stream content directly on the monitor without needing a PC. Additionally, the 21:9 ultrawide aspect ratio provides ample screen real estate for multitasking, and the USB-C port with 65W power delivery lets you charge and connect a laptop with a single cable.
The 0.03ms response time is significantly faster than traditional IPS or VA panels, virtually eliminating motion blur and ghosting. You will notice the most benefit in fast-paced competitive shooters where clarity during rapid camera movement is essential.
While the 3440 x 1440 resolution is standard for ultrawide monitors, the pixel density is lower than a 4K display of the same size. It is perfectly sharp for gaming and media consumption, though users who primarily perform fine text-based work may notice the individual pixels upon close inspection.
The monitor is compatible with standard 100x100mm VESA mounts. However, because the display weighs nearly 20 pounds without the stand, you must ensure your monitor arm is rated to support its weight and the unique dimensions of such a wide, curved panel.
The monitor features an anti-glare, low-reflection coating that helps manage ambient light. While OLEDs offer incredible contrast and deep blacks, they are best enjoyed in controlled lighting to fully appreciate the HDR performance and color accuracy.
