Even as the power of mobile devices is outpacing Moore’s Law, and graphics power seems to double every year, it’s a sad fact that phones simply aren’t marketed toward gamers. Walk into a phone store and ask a rep about a phone’s CPU. If you’re lucky, they might tell you how many cores it has, but getting a real idea about a phone’s performance is going to require some independent research. Even then, not everything is equal. Chips grouped under the same family are sometimes radically different on the inside, and even a savvy shopper might be surprised to find his phone comes up short. We’re here to cut through the nonsense and give you some straight talk about which phones are best when games matter most.
LG showed off their impressive bendable game monitor that changes configuration at the press of a button at CES 2025.

This story is not a duplicate. I have actual info from the LG reps about the monitor, not just a video.
The LG UltraGear 45GR95QE UltraGear gaming monitor manages to deliver a colossal device with a vibrant OLED panel that delivers superior performance despite its low pixel density and price tag.
I disagree, but I still wouldn't get this monitor because the res is just too small for that size. That res is fine for a 34" Ultrawide, but should be higher for 45". Using a TV for a monitor comes with its own annoyances though. Mainly they take some trickery (usually special software) to get them to turn off/on when the PC commands them to unlike a normal monitor that does this automatically.
and play your PC on it? I'd rather play on a gaming monitor designed for PC gaming than hook up my PC to a regular TV.
for the price, you can get a 48" LG C2 (4K 120Hz) and a PS5 right now. the C2 is so far away from being a "regular TV". still one of the best TV around for gaming imo.
@badz149 - I have a 65" C9, I know how good of a TV it is (also have an older E6). The lag is still considerably higher than these gaming monitors. If you used them you'd know. I have a 32" LG 4K 165Hz monitor for my PC. I'd take that any day over my C9. I use my C9 for my PS5, that's what it's designed for. Most gaming monitors are designed with PCs in mind.
the C9 is quite old by now and of course for PC gaming, the 32" 165Hz would be a no brainer choice by default. no argument there. the 4K 165Hz would have a better response time and higher pixel density.
but I was comparing, comparing this 1440p UWQHD to the 4K C2 where the C2 (and the C1 still to some extent) are still one of the best gaming displays around.
For anyone using iOS, I suggest you try the stock android experience offered with the nexus 4. I used to prefer iOS but android has more customization and very recently competitive build quality.
