38UC99-W

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.

IMO, 38" 3840x1600 IPS is the sweet spot for work + gaming. I've been using a discontinued LG monitor for the last 5 years and have been very happy with it.

I have a 38" 3840x1600 monitor (same aspect ratio), that I've been using for work and gaming for the last 5 years and absolutely love it!

Thanks for the review, much appreciated. At the same time I believe the issue with productivity is caused by OLED G9 curve - 1800R. Previously I was running LG 38" 1800R ultrawide. It was barely usable for me at the edges, had to run 125% zoom in windows to use it somehow. At the same time currently writing this comment on Neo G9 49 (1000R), and it's a major difference. Currently Windows Zoom set to 100% with having an IDE, browser, MS Teams set o 120%. So far so good, 3 decently sized windows side by side, no issues with text clarity and it's pretty comfortable. Still can use 100% zoom, but text is too small for me. At the same time, it's 125 PPI for LG vs 109 PPI, so most like 125% zoom is minimal acceptable for LG, at least for me.

The LG 5K2K on my desk is such big step up from the LG 38” UW IPS. I’m spending way too much time on gaming since I upgraded. Love it!

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.

Lg 34 and 38 ultrawides still have one of the best IPS panels up to date for general multi purpose use. I have had LG 38 IPS for few years now and I will upgrade to LG 39 oled 5k2k eventually.

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.
