38GL950G-B

I had an LG 38GL950G for years, and I thought it was amazing from gaming and productivity.

This will be the perfect monitor for me and a nice upgrade from my LG 38GL950G-B. * Big enough screen so it also works as a "TV" for watching movies with my girlfriend * 240Hz refresh rate so I can utilize MFG while still keeping input lag low * High resolution so I can properly multitask * No OLED which is good for me as I both work and play and don't have to worry about burn-in Edit: The [owner's manual](https://www.lg.com/us/support/product/lg-52G930B-B.AUS) is actually up on LG's site for those looking for more info about this monitor.

I really do think an OLED at 45 inches in a 21:9 aspect ratio and 5k resolution is the ultimate end game monitor for both productivity and gaming. I've been using a 38 inch LG ultrawide IPS (38GL950) for the past 4 years in my home office setup and although it's an awesome monitor, during heavy coding sessions I've had this urge for more screen real estate to better fit my development environment and documentations. Gaming on it is nice due to the immersiveness of 21:9, especially playing MMOs like World of Warcraft, but the lower brightness and contrast of IPS makes images not as vibrant. I've also been using a 47 inch LG tv (47LA7400) as a dedicated computer monitor on my bedroom setup for the past 12 years. With over 60,000 hours of use on it, it is still working perfectly. I love LG and their quality. At a mere 1080p resolution though, I can see the pixels in text, which can cause eye fatigue during coding tasks after a while. Gaming on it is quite immersive, mostly due to the size, but without a curvature, things on the left and right of the screen feel as if they're farther away, which can take away from the immersion. I also have an LG CX OLED tv which I've tried gaming on and although images are absolutely stunning due to the vibrant colors and clarity, the aspect ratio doesn't make gaming as immersive. I considered going the 32:9 route but didn't want to sacrifice screen height and knew that most games didn't support this aspect ratio. I've been constantly searching Google and Reddit for the past 3 years wondering when LG would release a 45 inch 21:9 OLED with at least 110 pixels per inch and 120hz refresh rate. It's finally here and I'm so excited.

Mines a 38LG950G-B. So a IPS screen, it still does great for the 5 years I’ve had it, and don’t feel lol a need to upgrade any time soon Edit: no burn in issues I use mine for working from home with static screens all day and then game at night and it works great.

Very good, just have to be aware that this is a normal 1000:1 IPS panel without any HDR capabilities, this edge-lit HDR600 that it has is a catastrophe. Other than that it is still a way to go, great form factor with good performance and free of issues like VRR flicker, burn-in or smearing. I still use my 38GL950G, there is no replacement for those monitors still, anything new that came out since then comes with deal breaking issues, while here you have something that is maybe not the most flashy but it actually works, unlike all the alternatives.

If youre going ultrawide for the sake of actually having a large screen to work with, your best choice would be to go for a 38in because they scale better and have 3840x1600 resolution. And their color accuracy is usually top notch. There's no real good reason to use 34in UW outside of gaming when 38in exists and is a better resolution size for scaling. I have the MSI MEG 38inch, but previously had the LG38G nanoIPS. Same panels in both monitors, my LG just got killed by a brown out.

I'm still rocking my two old monitors. - LG UltraGear 38GL950G-B Monitor. Powered by ASUS ROG STRIX RTX 2080 SUPER 8GB GAMING OC NVlink setup. - MSI MEG OPTIX MEG381CQR Plus 3840x1600 144Hz G-Sync Ultimate Monitor. Powered by MSI RTX 4080 Super 16G SUPRIM X. Both monitors are using LG Display. I love these Ultra Wide 21:9 (16:10) 3840x1600 144Hz DisplayHDR 600 (10-bit) HDR10. Max's out of my Display Port 1.4a (32Gbps) My Next-gen RIG build will have 21:9 / 5120x2160 (5Kx2K@144Hz) Display Port 2.2 (80Gbps) 21:9 is a fantastic FOV field of view, I can't say much about 32:9 Cheers 🥂 🍻 🍸 🍹
