First review of LG UltraGear 49GR85DC - their fastest gaming monitor. What do you think of this 49 inch gaming monitor?
Great Video, the only concern I have watching other's reviews on different 49" gaming monitors is the VA panel. I wish I could decide on which to buy. LG49!
I love ❤it. I think I'll get two. Thanks for the review 👍
👌
LG49 , buying this on your recommendation thank you
❤️
Im thinking of getting either this or samsung OLED G9. I plan to use it for work and play. For work there is a need for color accuracy. Any thoughts? Would love to watch a video comparing the two as well!
I love your channel Man, love since 2019!
❤️
Relax geez
Thanks for the video, great stuff. What’s the mic stand you’re using in the thumbnail?
Thanks thats from Logitech
All i play is ETS2 will this be ok on this monitor?? Great video
As you've asked what I'm using, I currently have a pair of LG 27GP950-B monitors, which are 4k 27" IPS, have local dimming and the rear ring of LEDs for ambient lighting. My next monitor will be an ultrawide OLED when the resolution is 4k ultrawide not 1440p ultrawide.
Nice!
I'm not understanding why everyone is calling it a 4k or 5k but its 1440p.
agree@@soaplag
Yes, Agree... you're not gonna make me go from 4k to 2k.... smh We will just have to wait for the price to come down.
Thank you for details. I'm looking 49 inch monitor. I confused Samsung Odyssey neo g9. Which one the best for gaming?
What's the difference between this and the Neo G9?
Can you please share your settings? Brightness, contrast, sharpness, hdr on/off etc.. i switched from the g9 to this but i find the colors on the
G9 were sharper. I been trying to finetune it for days.
You think this over new neo g9 as that is better resolution and dp 2.1
Wow, just wow!!! "LG 49"
❤️
LG49 Nice job thank you
❤️
It has excellent quality.👍
💯
Definitely I'd love to have 1 of the screens just to play ATS/ETS2 on it. Thank you sir
The view would be awesome!
Is this better than Samsung Odyssey Neo G9?
I recently bought a Samsung 49 inch with a va panel, i was split between using it as my primary or on my rigg, it ended up on the rigg, i did not like the 49 for games other than racing games and imo it was a downgrade from my 34 predator screen wise
I'd love one of these monitors but I am curious if they are good for competitive FPS type games or if it would hinder your play. Does anyone have experience with this?
Does this have vesa mount? I am hoping i can mount this
This looks like a slightly upgraded version of the original G9, but that is a 2020 model and this is a 2023 model. The G9 has the neo G9 and the oled G9 so I am going to say this is the "original G9 killer" because it has same specs, has slightly better performance and it is slightly cheaper.
Thank You Very good review very helpful, just bought one😊
How is your experience with it so far?
On the simracing rig you put the monitor way too far and bit too high. The NLR monitor mount allows much better position. Just the vertical profiles will be a bit in the fov
👌
Hi, what's the size of that desk? 48" x 24" ?
I ordered this monitor yesterday, but not for gaming, only for coding. Pretty excited, it should arrive tomorrow ^^
Its perfect for that, enjoy!
Curious why you went with this over the samsung OLED G9
I'm also thinking of ordering this for coding. Do you like it?
@@ubbe9263 I am pretty happy with it. I am using a Macbook Pro M1 with it, i also tried 2x 27" curved, but with 2 Monitors it's lagging pretty hard. For Frontend Development it's great cause you have so much space, you can put VSCode & the Browser side by side. When i do backend development, i can open multiple files with vscode or put my Browser with the Documentation of the frameworks i am using on it
Yeah I wanted an ultra-wide for coding - how does this thing do?
LG 49. Also could you do a video on the Samsung OLED 49” G93SC?
❤️
Wow 240 hz that's blazing fast. Cool purple logo. Impressive cyberpower setup with the Geek Street logo. Super quality picture. The LEDs are a plus. Likely the best 49" on the market. like 222
❤️

What is the maximum resolution in picture in picture mode?
I had the Odyssey G9 and really like it. My issue was the fish eye effect in games. Decided to return it for a 42 inch LG C2 OLED. Which has a significant image quality increase.
Could it have had something to do with your viewing distance?
Wow, that’s good info!
I'm looking 49 inch monitor. I confused Samsung Odyssey neo g9. Which one the best for gaming?
Hey man how were you able to mount the monitor to the vesa plate on your next level racing direct mount . i have the elite free standing monitor mount however the vesa plate blocks the slot to plug in the power cable .
I attached this mount on the rig and then hooked on the monitor

Hi, I do need some advice about watching 1080p videos on 1440p monitors that no one is talking about !
Tried some high-spec 1440p models but all of them were blurry, shockingly worse than 1080p native monitors while playing 1080p videos.
Then I unfortunately learned that the scaler won't be able to precisely transpose the 1080p image onto the 1440p screen. Meaning, blur and other visual artifacts make the video look substantially worse than 1080p native monitors and it's not related with bitrate or compression etc.
Mainly watching 1080p shows, movies (not streaming on youtube/Netflix etc) and have a huge archive... Tried 4K monitors/TVs with 1080p videos and they look just fine, equal to 1080p native ! 4K is exactly four times 1080p resolution; this means that for every pixel in 1080p, there are four pixels in 2160p, so you just make each pixel four times bigger. Looks exactly like a 1080p display.
I want to upgrade to 2K for games, web & work but "to watch 1080p videos blurry with artifacts" is holding me back.
4K is hard to drive and it's expensive but definitely clearer than 1440p !
- Should I skip 1440p & invest in 4K monitors ? Can you do a video about the elephant in the room ?
You're never going to get perfect image quality watching a 1080p video on a 1440p monitor. It's just how it is. I have movies downloaded natively to my computer that are 1080p and they still look blurry. The reason is because computer monitors don't have the same upscaling tech that TVs do, so they won't ever look as good on a monitor when compared to a TV. It'd be the same way if you were to play a game at 1920x1080 on a 2560x1440 panel, it would look blurry and washed out unless at the native resolution. I deal with this constantly, even with RUclipss newer "1080p enhanced bitrate" videos on Premium. I've just learned to deal with it unfortunately. Unless you wanted to watch it at 4K on a 1440p display if it was uploaded as a 4K video, you'll never get the same clarity on a lower resolution than your native res.
Hi, pls help me. I do home office and gaming. Is this monito ok for productivity? like office, Mail word. I work a lot with office and I game a lot to :). thx
I've been looking for an ultra wide 49" but was not in the mood to gamble on the Neo G9 as people say it literally has a 50% chance of breaking, and Samsung won't honour your warranty, will look into this now😂
Damn I didn't realise it was that bad with Samsung
@@GeekStreeti spoke to them about a faulty panel and they offered to fix mine so idk how true this is
Thats good to hear, thanks for sharing that.
@@AutonovaAI lucky, you're on the correct side of the 50%
@@ziyadh can only go off of my own experience👍🏼
Does anyone know what kind of benchmarks a 3080ti would have on this monitor playing modern games ??????
Is text sharp and good readable on the monitor? I want to use it for work and for gaming.
Text is definitely sharp. Better than the OLED Samsung. I tested them at the same time.
i'm using AOC AG493QCX super ultrawide 49 inch with 144hz and i'm definitely enjoying play games with my rx7900xtx
Nice!
AOC is FHD, this LG is QHD. It has a way better resolution.
Real bargain right now for under $800. Excellent monitor. I dont miss an IPS panel nor did i want an oled for a computer monitor.
Wow thats a massive drop 👌
With all due respect… you obviously haven’t seen an OLED panel as a gaming monitor.
@@ismaelvarela5750not worth it. Especially if u consider burn in. I rather have oled mature a bit more
I agree, I’m using mine as a gaming monitor and also for work. For work I don’t want an OLED because of burn in .
@@rodneynasir8089 even with gaming that can happen. OLED isnt worth the hassle outside of console gaming or watching video.
I wish so badly this was IPS 😭
As a owner of a 32" 4K Monitor I'm Dissapointed they cant reach 2160p yet. This monitor for gaming and multitasking, great. For having the best PPI and 4K video editing, not quite. 😮💨
There's going to be a 57 inch ultrawide where instead of dual qhd, it's dual uhd made by samsung later this year. It's pretty much two 4k 31.5 inch monitor.
57inch inch 😳
Va panel for sim racing is wild
😳🤔
Quick dumb question! How do I adjust the height on the stand ?
I’ve tried lifting it up and then pushing down but it won’t budge.
That's odd it should move, sounds like your stand may have a fault get it returned.
are you sure g-sync still works..
It's weird that these new displays don't come with DP 2.0
I see that it's on sale on amazon at the moment.
Nice
How is the HDR without dimming zones?
Generally looked good, but there is some light bleed which is no suprise as its a VA panel
I was wondering if you can pair this with Mac for productivity or coding?
Yes that works perfectly
i got one for 799 it was on sale a few days ago
Wow bargain!
Can you split the screen to 3-4 screen on the Mac to?
Yes you can do that
it would have been awesome if they made an ips version.
💯
hopes up until the inevitable 1440, hit. looking for OLED, > 75 Hz, & 2160+ vertical.
Between this and the LG 49WQ95C-W, what do you think is better for productivity and light gaming? spec differences are clear, but the fact one is VA and the other IPS makes it harder to decide. what are your thoughts about it? thanks
The LG 49WQ95C-W has less of a curve, a built in KVM and type c port plus speakers which personally I'd say makes a better productivity monitor. I use it daily and have to have it say its perfect for my needs. Hope that sort of helps.
@@GeekStreet This is very helpful. Thanks 🙏
Would this monitor be a good choice for any sort of graphics design? Meaning color accuracy?
Go for the LG 49WQ95C-W
Hey I currently have a 32” LG 1440p Ultragear at 165Hz, do uou think is worth to upgrade to this one by keeping the same rig (I5 12600k, RTX 3080, 32Gb DDR5 @4800MHz)
If you wanted a large field of version then definitely, but personally what you have is pretty good regardless.
Lg 49. Just bought one 20mins ago
❤️
Whats the FPS game ur playing its awsome!
At which point?
Does the mac mini not have usb-c thunderbolt ports on the back just use one of those instead of hdmi. That should in theory be able to get you higher resolutions.
Unfortunately the monitor doesn’t have a type c port
@@GeekStreetyou can buy usbc to HDMI or DP adapters or cables.
Good point!
i was thinking is the LG utra gear OLED 45inch WQHD with 240Hz. @GeekStreet please do a review 🤥😵
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll see what I can do.
Hey, a bit late to the video but I’m having trouble switching the settings from 120Hz to 240Hz do you know how to change it to 240Hz❤
What graphics card do you have
@@GeekStreet I have the Radeon RX 580 Series
i want same type of monitor in 45 inch's
why did you say its 5K on thumbnail if its not ?
Regarding the limitation of the resolution on your Mac, could you still get a better resolution with a lower refresh rate ?
Or just use one of the usb-c thunderbolt ports...
I want 48 inch 4K OLED with 240 refresh rate.
Now that would be awesome
Oh Hell Yeah
🥳
profe that everything look beter in mattblack😎
🖤
Since there are two hdmi ports: can you plug in two different consoles / laptops / tablets on each port and run both sources simultaneously in pip mode on a main computer screen which is connected to a desktop machine thru the display port?
Yes thats possible
@@GeekStreetthank you, I just wasn’t sure if pip mode only supports one input source only as nobody really covered this in detail
So essentially what I’m asking is a situation where you can have up to three different computers all simultaneously being displayed on the ultrawide monitor screen at once. The only problem is that this model doesn’t have a kvm built in
@@fishlangs1022 check out 9:00 in the video
Oh ok so you cannot have three input sources being viewed at the same time on the screen, only a maximum of two
How does this compare to the Samsung Odyssey? What type of system do you need to take advantage of this monitor?
Very similar in spec, really depends on your usage, the majority of pc's can support that resolution I've got an older PC too from 5 years ago and playing forza and fortnite is fine, most pc's can cope with 1440p but struggle at 4k hope that helps.
@GeekStreet Are there any differences between the LG and the Samsung Odyssey Neo 49"? The Samsung has gotten a lot of criticism and the LG seems less expensive, but I'll admit that I like the Samsung a little better. I'm also trying to build a new PC, but attempting to figure out what I need in a graphics card to game with this type of monitor.
@@Aggie1295 looking at the the spec of the neo G9 the main thing is that the brightness is twice as bright and it's mini led so black levels will be better but other than that it's pretty much identical. GPU really depends on what you plan to play. As a low end example you get away with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 on a low res.
@@GeekStreet Thanks for the insight. You do a great job on the reviews, by the way.
@@Aggie1295 you're welcome and thank you much appreciated
Is there any audio on this LG 49 bc I can’t hear nothing when I’m playing (I have my ps5 connected to this) COD, Fortnite, Minecraft etc
No speakers, I'm sure I mentioned in the review
@@GeekStreetok thx for the notice I wish I would have known this earlier
I'm using g9
Hey guys, I had an OLED G8 and the picture was definetly better than with this monitor. But please consider. U will always have a bad feeling when thinking about burn in when you also work with the monitor - i was always thinking about burn in. This Monitor doesn't have that problem - it has 240 hz - 1440 p - and is around 850 Euros in Germany and Austria. For 240 hz, 1440p and 49 inch , i will recommend. BUT not for more than 1000 Euros... then i would save up for an mini led 49 inch if you also do office work. All the best Martin
just got for a steal at $530 after shipping/tax. $440 before. so excited your video was amazing
What a bargin! Enjoy 🥳
Where did you get that deal
Two questions.
Is it mini LED backlight on it?
And scond. If you play D4 for instance in windowed mode and want to have say build guides in a second window side by side with the game. Does the game still run at 240hz and 1ms response?
No unfortunately its not mini led backlit and if you had two sources side by side the max refresh is 120hz
So just to confirm if I am playing PC and I have a game on the left side and the Internet or the right side, both sides only play at 120hz?
Yes thats right
Hi, Thank for great video.
Do you have anybody this monitor please?
I just bought one and it is noisy! Looks like there is low quality fan... Is it only my piece please?
Not super noisy but I can hear it during office work.
Mine is quiet I didn't experience anything like that.
@@GeekStreet Thank you for fast response.
No sound/noise at all?
Maybe I am used to work with small monitor which does not require any special cooling. I am actually surprised that monitor does makes some sound.
@@JosefCZ no nothing
fantastic device. but i cant see films
You can it will just have black borders at the side.
I’m setting up my home office /man cave i’d like a monitor like this but is it any good for an office / movie monitor
Its good for office use but if used multiple computers like a mac and windows pc there's no kvm also no speakers, but that's not a biggy for the majority of people out there.
@@GeekStreet yup it’s for my mac laptop , i have speakers for sound !
🤣 just got to get my OH to agree 🤔🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤣
@@campervanchris4171 thats normally the biggest hurdle, tell her she can use too 😅 good luck ☘️
@@GeekStreet Hell no my area is out of bounds she moves stuff 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣
How do I turn off the monitor?
You can use the button underneath in the middle.
yes but can you have 2 x 2560x1440 screens with 240hz?
Yes definitely but with this its a single monitor with no bezel in the middle much better when gaming in super ultrawide.
@@GeekStreet so your telling me I can game on one side 2560x1440 at 240hz. And have the other side at 2560x1440 at 240hz? If so I would like to see a video of it. Please
How do you adjust height on this monitor ? I just got it and I cannot move it down.
Maybe its jammed try getting someone to hold onto the stand then pull it up or down.
@@GeekStreet thank you for quick response. i will try
@@BITEKC let me know how it goes, if others have the same issue it may help.
@@GeekStreet I contacted LG and LG will send me a new stand. it looks like the stand i have is defective. it should adjust up and down with little force, but it just does not want to move.
@@BITEKC ok cool, good to hear they were helpful 👍
"LG49" I upgraded to the LG Ultragear 45' OLED from the AOC 49' Ultrawide and it's nice, but now I wish I knew this was coming at the time. OLED for me isn't the game changer people make it out to be especially for the price. I went back to the AOC and had no problem playing on it after playing on the OLED for two months straight. This absolutely would have been my next upgrade if I knew about it.
Thanks for the comment, out of interest what issue did you have with the OLED, too small a field of view?
Using LG 48 inch OLED TV
Nice!
IPS or OLED?
sadly VA
"LG 49" excellent review again @geekstreet , surprised by the amount of cons it has , speaker input should be on the back panel not underneath , no inbuilt speakers , the white bleed through is really bad & should send the monitor back to LG for a refund , the no mounting brackets spacers or washers or screws for the big LG recess for mounting , no 4k , no good for consoles & the price of 2860aud , i also think the view is to narrow for sim racing , i cant recommended this for pc & console gaming , massive pass for me 😔
Thanks, theres a couple of reasons for the design gamers generally use headphones so no need for speakers and having a headphone jack underneath is just for convenience in plugging in. If it was 4K the majority of GPU's wouldn't be able to handle it hence why they go for 1440p. For the hardcore gamers out its pretty good.
@@GeekStreet ive got complete respect for u & ur reviews, im just being more critical of the manufacturer here , the average joe gets the monitor home & he cant mount his monitor to his sim-rig , i think for simracing ur better off with triples or a single before u go curved unless u need the space saving by direct mounting it , curved screens & consoles need to find a solution asap to the central sreen problem .
@@leighdog5866 I get it don't worry, it's good to see all positives and negatives for sure and appreciate your comment thanks.
@@leighdog5866 what is the central screen problem?
@@MAMAMA341 coz on consoles u have big black bars running down each side & small screen in the middle to play on , u need to run pc games to use the whole curved screen

Lg 49”
Hay so I have a samsung g9 and it has sum really bad issues. The worse issue I see is that at 240 hz it gets super bad with horizontal linrs on certain colors does this monitor have it? I also experinced dead pixels/debris on my samsung g9 and wodnering if I should swich to this.
I didn't experience anything like that with this monitor.
Don't know how common it is, but this LG monitor is even worse than g9 in terms if scan lines on lots of colors.
Why monitors don’t have speakers is beyond me

£1500 seems v.espensive. OLED TV's about half that.
Yep not cheap but there is a difference this is optimised for gaming and has an ultrawide viewing angle not something you can get on a TV unless you have multiple TV's. It's aimed more at PC gamers amd there is no risk of screen burnin like with OLED screens.
@@GeekStreet Well you could always get a 65 OLED for less and run CRU to create an ultrawide custom resolution. I'm using a 55 OLED and with say 10 hours of gamming a week for over a year, no burn in. Yes if you're using all day every day then maybe this or another far cheaper pc monitor.
@@rchatte100 5120 is likes 1/3 more horizontal pixels than 3840
For that resolution and that refresh rate you'll need an AMD GPU. Nvidia wont cut it...

Honestly high end monitors are always overpriced compare to 4K TV. If you are not a competitive gamer then don’t bother.

it's a 1440p monitor. we go by the vertical pixels, not horizontal. calling it 5k is misleading and disingenuous.
