Is the 45-inch size too big for a desk?

It needs a deep desk and some distance to take in the whole curve. At close range the edges sit far into your peripheral vision, which suits immersion but not desk work.

How does it compare with a 32-inch 4K OLED gaming monitor?

The 32-inch 4K model is much sharper for text and desktop use. This one wins on immersion and screen area, and both share OLED contrast and fast response.

Does it work with a PS5 or Xbox Series X?

Yes. It has HDMI inputs and handles the high frame rates those consoles output, though you will not reach the panel's full refresh rate from a console.

Do I need a PC to use the streaming apps?

No. webOS runs the apps on its own, and cloud gaming services work without a connected computer.

Is OLED burn-in a real risk here?

It can happen with static elements like HUDs, taskbars and desktop icons left in place for long periods. Vary content and use the screen's built-in protection features.

Our take on the LG UltraGear GX9s OLED 240Hz Gaming Monitor with webOS 45-inch

The LG UltraGear GX9s is a 45-inch curved OLED gaming monitor with a 240Hz refresh rate and near-instant pixel response. It runs LG's webOS smart TV platform, so it streams apps without a PC and supports cloud gaming. Its size and curve suit immersive single-player and racing games, but the 45-inch class panel uses a lower pixel density than 27- or 32-inch 4K rivals, so fine text looks softer. OLED contrast and motion are its strengths; burn-in risk and brightness limits are the usual trade-offs.
