Very happy with my single LG Monitor 38UC99-W. I can have multiple apps up including a mind boggling 2 foot wide waveform edit window.
r/MacStudio • Monitor Suggestions for Mac Studio M4 Max ->I think LG has a relatively newer version of 38" in IPS. It's the W model. I've worked on both 34 and 38 ultrawide and the 38 is way better. You really grow to appreciate the extra vertical height that 1600px gives you.
r/ultrawidemasterrace • LG stopped making 34" Ultrawide IPS gaming monitors? ->I absolutely love my 38" LG (I have the Freesync version). However, I don't see it for sale anymore. I feel 38" is the perfect size, though I suppose a higher resolution would be good. Why not consider the 38WR85QC-W.AUS? It's basically the same as the 38GN except cheaper ($1200). The 40" 5k 2k is also a good option, but I use my UW for both work and gaming so I'd go with the 120hz one.
r/ultrawidemasterrace • The state of modern LG Monitors, compared. I'm needing to choose a new LG monitor to replace my dead one (the first entry, 34GK950F), and I figured the community might benefit from my comparison table. I still don't know what to choose, myself. ->The same panel is used in the LG 38" widescreen monitors. I'm having one of the Lg with freesync instead of g-sync
r/ultrawidemasterrace • Let's talk about IPS productivity + 120hz+ monitors ->I think the sweet spot is in the 45-50" range for a 5k2k monitor. I've been wanting something in that range for a very long time now. I have a 38" 3840x1600 LG monitor now, and as great as it is, I would love more size and resolution.
r/ultrawidemasterrace • [Real-User Invite] LG UltraGear 5K2K GX9: The Ultimate Sweet Spot of UltraWide OLED Gaming Monitor ->I always considered 38" at 3840x1600 to be the sweet spot in terms of ppi and vertical screen real estate. The GX9 is an upgrade to both which makes it the top choice until the higher ppi 39" versions arrive later this year
r/ultrawidemasterrace • [Real-User Invite] LG UltraGear 5K2K GX9: The Ultimate Sweet Spot of UltraWide OLED Gaming Monitor ->I went from 2 22" displays to 1 49" Samsung CRG9. The 49" was great for work productivity but for gaming I found it to be too short (not tall enough). I sold the 49" and now have a centered 38" (3840x1600) "main" display and an off center 27" (2560x1440). For my uses, the 38" is excellent for both work productivity and gaming and I use the 27" on the side for comms (Email, Teams, Discord, etc.)
r/ultrawidemasterrace • If you upgraded from a 34" to something bigger, was is worth it? ->The 38 inch lgs fit the bill
r/ultrawidemasterrace • Does the perfect Ultrawide monitor for productivity first and gaming second exist? ->Same, 38" LG for both work and gaming and love it - but considering 27" OLED maybe this year, because even 4080s struggles to get high enough fps on higher settings in new UE games.
r/ultrawidemasterrace • Is 34" ultrawide.. dying? ->THIS! I have a LG 3840x1600 38" - perfect! Just wish it was 144Hz. I refuse to go down to 1440P.
r/ultrawidemasterrace • Is 34" ultrawide.. dying? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
