About this deal

The panel is fast – incredibly fast. While LED-based monitors (IPS, TN, and VA) all claim 1ms response times these days, the UltraGear boasts 0.1ms. It’s rapid enough that ghosting and input lag simply won’t be an issue, even if you’re a world-class esports athlete. The maximum number of colors, which the display is able to reproduce, depends on the type of the panel in use and color enhancing technologies like FRC. Approximate height of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the height is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio. Brightness can ramp up to more than 400 nits in a 10 percent window (in other words, when only 10 percent of the display panel is lit). Other reviewers, such as IGN, have noted up to 600 nits in a one-percent window, which is not a situation I’m set up to test. It makes sense. At TV-esque sizes, you’re supposed to view 4K a few feet away from a display. Using this monitor as a proper monitor exposes why that’s the case. Text isn’t as clear, Windows scaling needs some adjustments, and high resolutions don’t feel quite as sharp as they should. There are downsides to a larger display as a monitor, and pixel density is chief among them.

Information of the number of pixels in a unit of length. With the decrease of the display size and the increase of its resolution, the pixel density increases. Desktop monitors and smart TVs experience a latency/lag in visualizing the information. The time in milliseconds that the display needs to visualize the signal input.

Because of these differences, the LG Ultragear 48GQ900-B is better for playing games or viewing content on a PC, while the LG C2 OLED is superior for streaming, 4K Blu-Ray movies, and over-the-air TV. Expand your point of view with LG monitors that adapt to the needs of business users, gamers, graphic artists and multimedia enthusiasts alike. Discover computer monitors with slim designs, striking color and life-like motion for an optimal viewing experience. The LG UltraGear 48GQ900-B renders more than 100% sRGB and 98% DCI-P3 for stunning color and saturation in games and movies. Its default accuracy has a decent 2.08 deltaE average, unlike other highly saturated panels. It’s good to go out of the box, but you can also use its sRGB filter which limits the gamut while improving the dE score to 1.67.

Even so, the Ultragear 48GQ900-B’s overall motion performance is remarkable. It ranks alongside the motion performance of Alienware’s AW3423DW and delivers a noticeable, improvement over IPS and VA-panel monitors with a 144Hz or 120Hz refresh rate. LG Ultragear 48GQ900-B vs. LG C2 OLED Approximate diagonal size of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the diagonal is calculated from the width and height of the screen. When used for a multi-window setup, I found it to be a very good fit for getting work done during the day. Using it with a single maximized window is a waste of space and leaves you turning your head to take in the whole screen. Snapping multiple windows, however, is akin to a multi-monitor setup without annoying bezels in the middle of your viewing area. Purchasing Guide The first issue with this monitor aside from its price or its size is its lower pixel density. It might look slightly pixelated if you sit too close to it. But on the other hand, that also makes it less painful to read and process documents with it. Gaming and entertainment will look great no matter what, but we recommend sitting a bit further to maximize the 4K resolution. The operating temperature shows the safe temperature range (from minimum to maximum), within which the display will function flawlessly. Outside this range it might operate improperly and/or fail entirely.

One of the biggest concerns that comes with OLED panels is burn-in. In addition to the automatic brightness leveler, LG has implemented a number of protections to keep your monitor safe and shadow-free. Pixel shifting occurs periodically in normal use, slightly moving the screen to prevent static elements from retaining. The display will also automatically run a pixel refresher every 500 hours and an Image Cleaning mode any time the monitor has been left on for an extended period. Like any OLED, you’ll still want to take basic precautions like hiding your desktop icons and taskbar, but LG has taken the kitchen sink approach to prevention, so you shouldn’t need to worry any more than your average OLED TV. LG also provides OnScreen Control software that allows you to make these changes within Windows, but it’s unimpressive. It’s limited mostly to picture modes and basic image settings. There are no hotkeys or advanced features outside of the turning on the Screen Split window arrangement feature. It works, but feels rather sluggish and wasn’t much faster than just using the OSD and remote. LG UltraGear 48GQ900 - Performance Thankfully, you don’t need to dedicate an extra desk space to speakers with the UltraGear 48-inch OLED. The built-in speakers are fantastic, with deep resonant bass, a ton of volume, and clarity in the mids and highs. They’re not on the level of the best PC speakers, but I played through some Destiny 2and Tales of Ariseon the built-in speakers, and I don’t have any complaints. This model also has more powerful speakers with 20 watts of power so they can be used for entertainment purposes. The pair sounds decent, but it’s going to be more immersive if you use surround speakers or headsets. However, they will come in handy in some instances like when you feel like playing on a couch instead of a desktop. Display and Performance The downside to OLEDs is brightness, and this monitor does still fall short of LCD panels in SDR mode, but it’s not as simple as the spec list makes it seem. LG quotes a typical brightness of only 135 cd/m2. Compare that to LG’s smaller 4K gaming monitor, the Nano IPS UltraGear 27GN950, which has an average brightness of nearly triple at 400 cd/m2. LG also doesn’t disclose any details on the 48GQ900’s peak brightness either.
