Yes. It’s not a total deal breaker but it’s noticeable. It’s the same as a 27 inch vs 32 inch monitor.
Personally, I’d get the 34 or get a 39 5k2k. The 34 inch size is great and the PPI is good enough.
I found a really great workaround that practically solved my PPI issue with text. I just bought the LG 39" OLED WQHD Curved Monitor (39GS96QB, deal from Costco) and immediately noticed the fuzzy text issue.
I asked ChatGPT and it prompted me to search "`Adjust ClearType text`"
This worked amazingly well and now I am not struggling to read things on a white backdrop.
Exact steps:
* **Search**: `Adjust ClearType text` in Windows search
* Go through the wizard and choose the clearest text in each step.
* This helps Windows adapt to the subpixel layout of your OLED.
got this bad boy off Costco about 6 months ago for $600 and couldn't be happier.
it is 3440x1440 native, I use DLDSR on 5160x2160 with rtx 5080 and it's awesome!
Yeah, native 95 ppi is definitely rough. I just use DLDSR to brute force the internal res to 5K and let it downsample. Completely bypasses the low PPI issue for me, looks crisp af for my case
I have this monitor and I honestly dread the day I have to replace it. The size is perfect and I actually like the fact it's only 3440x1440. It still looks sharp enough in games to me and it's not very difficult to run.
Yeah I got the LG 39GS and I just love the dimensions but at times I feel like 3440x1440 is kinda low PPI and 5k is just too much to run confortably without some hardware limitations. Would insta buy a 3840x1600 39'' version.
The main factor for me came down to my 16:9 monitor size preference. If you never find yourself wanting more vertical space then a 27" monitor I think the 49 is a valid choice.
Personally I like a larger 32"+ monitor size, and with that massive 32" desk you're more then safe going with one.
The two main things things people don't like about the 39" are the 1200r curve; It's admittedly a bit off putting at first. And the second being the low PPI, both of which a non issue for me.
Overall I'm convinced that the 39" is the best option for me at the moment despite the negatives. However if there were a 240hz 42" 16:9 option I would run that, and run 3840x1600 in games when I want 21:9 resolution.
It's hard to say what's best for you without knowing your pain points preferences, but if you like big go big. If you just want wider, just go wider.
The image would only stretch if you run a lower resolution than the monitors native resolution and force it into full screen mode. When a game doesn't support super ultra wide it should just put black bars the sides.
Sometimes playing FPS games, assuming the game doesn't have HUD settings to adjust them towards the center it can be hard to see your health, ammo, ect. But you can just run a lower aspect ratio and boarder-less full-screen to black bar the sides of the monitor and narrow your field of view.
There's a work around for just about everything, So those issues are easy enough to get around.
