The LG UltraGear 45GR95QE is one of the best gaming monitors on the market. It commands an equally high MSRP of $1699.99, but Best Buy is currently offering $700 off for My Best Buy Plus members, dropping the price to only $999.99. An annual My Best Buy Plus membership costs $49.99, so your total would come out to $1049.98, which is still an outstanding price and $250 cheaper than what we saw during Prime Day. You have the option to sign up for the Plus membership right on the product page.
LG UltraGear 45GR95QE 45" 3440x1440 Curved 0.3ms 240Hz G-SYNC OLED Gaming Monitor for $999.99
for My Best Buy Plus members ($50 to sign up)
The 45GR95QE is a very large 45" monitor with a 3440x1440 resolution and a very aggressive 800R curve for maximum immersion. Even though it's not 4K, it's still very sharp and detailed in games, media content, and just all around general purpose usage. The WQHD resolution is less taxing on GPUs as well, so you can get by with something like a GeForce RTX 3080 or RTX 4070. Unlike the OLED TVs which have quite a bit of reflection and glare from their glossy displays, the 45GR95QE features an anti-glare with low reflection coating that's more typical of gaming monitors.
The best thing about the 45GR95QE is, of course, the OLED panel. OLEDs blow away any IPS, VA, or TN monitor in terms of HDR, black levels and color rendition, and LG has several generations of OLED releases under its belt. Unlike the LG OLED TVs, which are capped at 120Hz, the 45GR95QE boasts a blazing fast 0.3ms response time (typical of OLEDs), and 240Hz refresh rate. It's also G-SYNC and FreeSync certified and, unlike the OLED TVs, it has both HDMI 2.1 and a DisplayPort 1.4 inputs for more flexible connectivity options. Both inputs support refresh rates up to 240Hz and VRR.
There are some other welcome features that you'd only find in a gaming monitor as opposed to a TV that's been converted to a monitor, like an FPS counter, a crosshair overlay, and a stand that offers height, tilt and swivel adjustments. A 45" monitor will still look pretty gigantic on your desk, though.
