Are Ultra Wide Monitors Good For Gaming

I was looking for a new work from home monitor, but also one I can hook my PS5 up. After looking at a lot of ultra wide monitors, I realized most ran in 60Hz, which wasn't going to work for me, and I stumbled across this one. I absolutely love the amount of space it gives me for work, and the display for my gaming is great!! I've had zero issues with it, and have even suggested to a few others to look into it. For the price, it's a steal for a terrific piece of hardware to work and to game.

From 3 27 inch monitors to one Ultra wide 40 inch and a vertical LG 27 inch. The amount of screen space takes a little getting used to. From 2560x1440 to 5120x2160 is a big taking getting used to, but the amount of work and play screen space is incomparable. Although the letters and menus are a bit smaller, bringing up the screen to 25 inch from the eyes surely manages the problem. Bought my Mac Studio and this LG ultra wide from B&H, rapid, secure, transfer of hardware, no weeks waiting for it like other sites. Will be buying again!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The monitor has preformed beyond my expectations. I was not sure how I would like going from two monitors to one Ultra-wide but I love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use it for gaming , wonderful ultra wide plus the color range it's amazing for gaming.

This is exactly what I wanted. 1440 ultra wide gaming for a great price. Pro: I like the fact that the base doesn't invade on my desk very far, like the 49 super ultra wide samsung does. Con: The internal speakers are fairly quiet. (But I didn't get it for the speakers)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you are looking for a budget gaming ultra wide then look no more. The picture for this price range is fabulous and the adjustable height stand with tilt is a nice feature. HDMI, Display Port and USB-C connections. USB-C. make sure you get a 20GB or higher transfer rate or no video signal for you.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The next level of gaming has arrived with LG's new miracles 49 inch Extremely Ultra-wide Gaming Monitor. The monitor came nicely packaged with the essential cables to connect this beast of a monitor to my high end Rig. After setting up the monitor and turning it on for the first time, I had to step back as my smile grew as wide as the monitor figuratively speaking. I couldn’t wait but fired up a game of GTA and was amazed how much more I can see within the game. The 240 Hz just made it so buttery smooth playing on this 49inch UltraGear Monitor. As nice as the monitor is for gaming, I also love how much screen real estate I have now. I can multitask like never before with Adobe Photoshop, browsing the internet, Word and so much more. On my old monitor I would have to move apps around in order to adjust for productivity. Now that’s in the past thanks to this extremely Ultra-Wide monitor. I am glad I made this purchase to help utilize it best for multitasking, recreational and so much more.

Excellent ultra wide for the m43 system.

Great replacement for my old ultra-wide monitor.
