38WN95C-W

Bad timing, Samsung Australia just finished an EOFY sale including monitors. I have and like the lg 38wnc monitor. Great for productivity with some extra vertical height (1600px) and good for gaming with up to 144hz. Not oled good but still good. I was very tempted by the lg oled 45 with 5k2k res, but it’s expensive and not sure how it would be for productivity. If I didn’t care about gaming the dell 5k2k 40 inch looks great but it has slow response times, so not useful for gaming.

I currently have a 38WN95C. I think this is about the limit in size for me. It’s a good balance of more real estate / immersion without handicapping myself in games such as league where the map has to be in the corners. If the 39” also has the tandem OLED panel then it’s a no brainer for me.

OLED: Not currently. I did get one of LG's woefully under-rated 38BN95C-W monitors on sale for $850 a while back (3840x1600, 144hz nano IPS). About as close as you will get currently. Not perfect, but i dont ever remember that when i'm playing games on it. The picture is brilliant, and the size/curve is amazing. The adjustable curve model is about the only replacement i'd accept over it now. Tried to like the ultragear 3440x1440 OLED model in the same size but the pixel density was noticeable to me.

I've been using ultrawide monitors for 10 years now - 2015: Samsung S34E790C 3440x1440 60Hz, VA panel - 2019: LG 34GK950F-B 3440x1440 144Hz, IPS panel - 2024: LG 38WN95CP-W 3840x1600 144Hz, IPS panel and I really like the productivity gains I got with them. On my current monitor a browser window and IDE window can easily fit side-by-side.

Thanks. In that case, yeah 800R for productivity is fine. I’m on Excel all day and it’s not an issue.

this is good advice , i have 38wn95c and is a great monitor , and you can find it cheap

Do you not have the 38” 1600p 2300R monitor available? 38WN95C. I have it and love it. A Dual4K super ultra wide would be the only upgrade I could see in the future, once graphics cards can drive that many pixels reliably in games, or the monitor supports dual mode with maybe Dual1440p mode.
