I don't even know where to start. The UltraGear 48GQ900-B has really changed my perspective on monitors.
Let's start with the basics. This is a repurposed 48" OLED TV which LG turned into a gaming monitor. It's a 48" UHD 4K display with a 1.5M:1 contrast ratio (1.2M:1 @25%APL). Refresh rate is 120Hz. It has a DisplayPort which I use, 3 HDMI inputs, Optical Audio out, and headphone out. It is NVIDIA G-Sync Compatible and AMD FreeSync Premium. The 20Wx2 speakers are impressive, but I have always used eternal speakers. The room I am in is fairly bright, and this display is just fine in that setting.
My use for this monitor is some gaming, but more importantly my everyday monitor. I want to make that clear as gaming isn't my main focus, and to let you know this isn't just a gaming monitor. I have been using dual 27" displays for many years now. The dual LG 27UD69P's have been flawless, so I was skeptical is a single monitor would replace those. It's pretty large to be on my desk, and it dwarfs the 40" TV that I have (which I set up as a 2nd monitor but haven't found the need to use it). LG's OnScreen Control allows me to section off this monitor and open multiple programs at once. This is very important to me as a CPA as I need multiple programs open at once. I also watch a lot of content on my computer and interact on social media. I watch a lot of YouTube, and for me this monitor shines as I am no longer watching on a 27" monitor but instead basically a 48" OLED TV.
I pretty much play games exclusively on Steam, and one of my favorites is DOOM. Loved it back in the day, and really enjoy its updated play. I also enjoy X-Plane 11. I tried out both, and I was very impressed. Absolutely no lag, crisp colors, and immersive gameplay due to the screen size. I also have a 40" curved monitor and this is much better.
All of my testing was done without any technical tweaking. Expert gamers will do much more to adjust their gaming to perfection. If my gaming is a starting point, I really believe that as a true gaming monitor this is impressive.
I absolutely recommend this monitor, and not just for gaming. It's an excellent monitor for everyday use, and no longer will I run dual monitors.
