Summary
LG's UltraGear 45GX950A is a cutting-edge 45-inch OLED gaming monitor boasting a 5K2K resolution. It promises enhanced pixel density compared to previous ultrawide gaming monitors utilizing LG's OLED panel technology.
Mass Production and Release
Mass production of the UltraGear 45GX950A has commenced, indicating that the monitor will soon be available for purchase. While an exact release date remains unknown, the announcement signals a potentially shorter delay between announcement and availability than similar high-end monitors in recent times.
Specifications
LG has yet to disclose all of the UltraGear 45GX950A's specifications. However, previous reports have revealed a 5,120 x 2,160 pixel resolution and a pixel density of 125 DPI. This surpasses 1440p monitors but falls short of 32-inch 4K monitors, which typically offer around 140 DPI.
Other confirmed specifications include:

LG has not disclosed the generation of OLED panel used in the 45GX950A. Speculation suggests it may utilize LG's existing 3rd Gen WOLED rather than the newer, brighter technology announced at CES.
Price and Variants
The 45GX950A has an MSRP of $1,999. LG has also announced a bendable 45GX990A model with adjustable curve (flat to 900R), which is expected to be priced around $2,500.
