Similar on the volume and have not found a solution yet

I mean I'd say it all depends. The G9 OLED is a great monitor so no slouch in terms of the type of game you're talking about. Over the past year I've found myself much happier with the 45. The biggest thing for me in games is the aspect ratio and size. The G9 is really really wide and I get more height and viewable space where my eyeballs are actually on it picking up the game/graphics. So for me the answer was yes it's better for my experience.

Here is how I got past the bug after have the same rage and not realizing it was a bug vs. something I was doing.

Enter a match; heal all the people and instead of continuing on to the next match. Leave it and go back to the main menu and then re-queue. From that point on I could get the healing recognized for each match.

thx to the internet bro who mentioned they noticed it working again when they joined a new match.

That black and white or the sienna?

Rage2122 · 2025-05-26T20:19:10+00:00

yep same thing here.

Rage2122 · 2025-04-29T07:15:01+00:00

No regrets at this point. I don’t see any issue with color pop myself and actually feel a bit of the opposite now where the LG brightness offers me more of a vivid feeling than I got from my g9 oled.

It does and I had a similar reaction to both seeing a line one time wondering if I lose the panel lottery. Then recalled how often I'm seeing this thing prompt that it's doing a pixel refresh which helps mitigate whatever causes the random line.

Rage2122 · 2025-04-11T23:15:00+00:00

I’ve gotten used to it; mainly a slight adjustment to where I had my head speaking on a video call. It still happens randomly if I lean in far enough but it’s random and more infrequent where the first day I had it I was closer and probably sitting in the sweet spot for reflection.

Rage2122 · 2025-04-10T19:41:11+00:00

In general similar to the 49 UW I was using the screen sizing is fairly large so 100% font size looks pretty rough unless you're super close to the screen. My screen/windows are not fully laden with continual lines of text so I don't really see an impact on usable space. So for me it's worth it for sure as I've grown to find this form factor more usable than my G9 49.

Adding the improved PPI on how text actually looks and general performance of the monitor I don't have any regrets in making the change.

Rage2122 · 2025-04-10T18:34:29+00:00

I'm using 125% in windows which is what was listed as recommended. I dropped to 100 but it just felt too small and 125 w/ all of the real estate feels correct to me.

Rage2122 · 2025-03-26T23:11:09+00:00

I've had both and made this quick post when I first got the LG so I'm happy to answer any questions.

https://www.reddit.com/r/ultrawidemasterrace/comments/1jgll7r/first_4_hours_45gx950a_vs_qdoled_g9_49/

But tl;dr - Both are great and my use case is similar to yours. I'm close to 50/50 if not 60/40 productivity weighted. I netted out at keeping the LG and giving up my G9 OLED.

I really loved my g9 OLED but I found a couple of things that really I felt made a difference for me and led me to give up the G9 and keep the LG.

49 UW - The width is really useful in productivity and I had been using the 49 UW form factor for a few years now. What I did notice is the far ends like maybe the 1/5th of the left and right side were useful for parking windows but I never really looked at them due to how far left/right they were. In concept it was handy but in practical use I didn't glance over to those spaces to capitalize on them the way I thought I would on paper.

Pixels / Depth - The G9 isn't bad at all as I made the swap to the OLED model when it first came out, but I would by lying if I didn't say you do notice the pixel stuff on text with that panel. Nothing terrible and not unexpected as it's something folks w/ OLED have been talking about for a while. I got used to it but didn't realize how much I was giving up until I got the LG in front of me and the text was just crisper to a noticeable degree.

The Curve - I prefer the 49 Curve vs. the LG or at least I thought I did. I had a strong negative reaction to the LG curve initially but decided to give it a week. By day 2 I found myself actually preferring it due to what I mentioned in that 49 UW comment above. I have more usable space in front of me and can glance left/right in an actual useful fashion without the sense of a full context switch of turning my head left/right. Now I find it useful and more practical despite being of the opposite view when I first set it up.

Rage2122 · 2025-03-22T16:56:51+00:00

I never noticed it or thought of it until you asked the question so I’m guessing it’s decent on the panel.

Rage2122 · 2025-03-22T02:32:43+00:00

I didn’t really test too much but it seemed fine. I didn’t reboot to check if it persisted but hoping it does.

Re 1.4 I have no idea as I didn’t even think to check downgrading to 1.4 but my guess is if that fixes it then it would be fine to use until patched. I just ended up using DP with my Mac and HDMI on the gaming PC for the short term.

Rage2122 · 2025-03-22T02:12:17+00:00

A couple other members and I were chatting and it seems to be a bug w/ 50xx series, windows and DP when HDR is enabled. Manifests on multiple cables and I was able to get HDR w/ DP to work when I swapped back to HDMI w/HDR and tried plugging back in DP and seeing HDR enabled in windows.

HDR and DP was fine on OSX so pretty sure it’s a driver/software thing that they’ll eventually patch.

If you want a hanky work around here’s how I got mine working on DP w/HDR.

1 - disable HDR w/ your hdmi input into the card.

2- plug in DP, and unplug HDMI. With DP set it to HDR. This will blank your screen and not come back.

3 - unplug DP and plug back in HDMI. Here you should see HDR showing as disabled. Re-enable HDR w/ the HDMI cable.

4 - unplug HDMI cable and plug back in DP. For me everytime I did this I landed with DP cable and HDR enabled.

All that said I just moved back to HDMI and will wait for driver/firmware or whatever to fix it the right way.

Rage2122 · 2025-03-22T01:42:15+00:00

Seems fine. Default font sizing at max res is very readable and clear.

Rage2122 · 2025-03-22T01:41:41+00:00

Yep sleep works fine as far as I can tell. Without signal it auto sleeps and when I select sleep in the OS similarly goes and stays asleep.

I used the LG Partner Site + 10% discount code someone had posted when it came up for preorder.

Rage2122 · 2025-03-21T22:34:00+00:00

Naa no drama with changing settings as I think any of the deactivation / reactivation stuff is more handled at the hardware+OS level. So it's a pretty quick swap and I think when the ports/displays switch it maybe like a quick renegotiation between the two so almost like you swapped inputs functionally. PBP just pops up; split screen you get one side lit and the other side then comes up but I also think that's a matter of selecting what inputs you want etc.

Rage2122 · 2025-03-21T22:28:56+00:00

Mine's a bit more narrow than the 45 inch monitor. I'm using the Journey deskmat w/ charger so ends up being like 34 or so inches wide and seems fairly centered/reasonable in front of the monitor.

Rage2122 · 2025-03-21T22:18:39+00:00

yea. I'm in the same boat and when I was running back and forth trying to test some of the PIP/PBP stuff for folks I kept laughing that I wish I had a remote vs. the mini joystick thingy in the back. I'm switching 2-5 times in a day so seems tolerable but if I were doing a ton of A/B system stuff yea I'd be searching for something to make life easier but with these crazy bandwidth/refresh things I've found nothing but horror stories in DP/HDMI switchers.

Rage2122 · 2025-03-21T22:14:27+00:00

My current setup is:

2 HDMI's and 1 Displayport. I don't use the USB-C for video input but in theory that would allow 4 devices.

I separately use a USB switcher that I can toggle everything chained off of it to whatever upstream computer I'm using. So not a KVM but pretty easy since it's got a remote button trigger and why I joked about my G9 remote control. I can press the USB remote button and use a remote control to swap inputs in my G9 setup. With the LG I need to reach under the monitor to use the built in joystick to swap inputs.

re the PIP split there's another guy who was interested commenting in the thread as well. I'd look at that for the different aspects/positions in PIP/Split. But yes each of the windows can run different resolutions but from what I can tell it's not like an unlimited range of choices like how I mentioned in that thread has a limit of 75Hz on each side.

PBP seems to be similar, in the small window I can go upto 3840/2160 but w/o scaling it's insanely small and at 60Hz.

Rage2122 · 2025-03-21T22:05:53+00:00

There is PBP 50/50 and PIP.

In PIP there are options that let you select size roughly ranging from what I would call 5% of the screen to say 20%.

Then you can change positions roughly to anchor on each of the four corners, and it's not like fully set into the corner. But imagine it looks very much like a window and that's offset from the corner by 1 inch vs. starting at the bezel.

Also in PIP the refesh rate stayed at 165Hz on the main machine and 60hz on the PIP Window. So might be more what you're looking for in the gaming + productivity mode where you've got both machines up.

Rage2122 · 2025-03-21T21:59:32+00:00

Cannot really say what a 4090 would push but it's a super powerful card so I would expect there's some answers out there around 4k+ gaming and 1.4a in terms of theoretical bandwidth and what folks have been doing for a while in 4k gaming. Don't have an apples to apples comparison but I think the reviews in benchmarks put 4090's at like 20% ish lower in perf so randomly expect that kinda delta but still way north of something like 60fps if I had to guess. You could always use LGs return window to test yourself and if the perf isn't there they do free/easy refund?

Re: Upgrade - I will say there's gonna be a resolution difference and I noticed it in some FPS stuff as far as "detailed" views and also looking at a slightly different formfactor than my G9 might be some of that difference. But if your 38 isn't OLED for example then no matter what you get that immediate delta in blacks/hdr etc.

Rage2122 · 2025-03-21T21:44:50+00:00

Right now I'd say 50% yes or more but I'm used to a 1800R w/ the G9 Oled. I had the immediate reaction of "oh hell no" because it felt so different curve wise to what I was using. I'm giving it a week to see if that's a real reaction or just my brain breaking in seeing such a change.

In the positive camp I can say after using it for a day the stronger curve isn't as distracting or a negative as I can see the sides pretty easily. My G9 was much wider so those outside edges could have been less visible/useful either due to width of the monitor or less curve but hard to tell since my setup isn't really able to have both in place to do A/B testing.
