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.

I like my new 39" UW over my 32", but it's not all about pure size. The refresh rate is better and it's OLED. It's also lower resolution, so there are trade-offs. Deco Gear makes a 40" 4K UW, but it's only 60 or 75 hz. There aren't really any UWs bigger than 34" that are budget-friendly, so if cost is an issue you might just wanna go with a 34" UW to give yourself a ton more buying options.

For immersion in adventure games or racing get the 39. If PPI matters get the 34. What made me return the 39 and get the 34 was the fringing and how everything looks stretched. In competitive games you will noticed a bunch of artifacts, jagged edges, and text fringing. Dota 2 for example, after a match I was so exhausted that I couldn't even look at the screen anymore. Same for Age of Empires.

Take the 39". Its height will be like the 42" LG C4, but with an 800R curvature radius. It's awesome for gaming!

I was really mistaken. This is if a 42" TV in 21:9 emulation mode will correspond to a 39" monitor with a 21:9 aspect ratio.

39-in LG Ultragear at Costco is currently $550. You don't need a membership to buy it online and have it shipped to your house. It is a WQHD monitor with an 800R curve, so it's not going to be for everybody. I just ordered one. Normally these things are about $1,000.

I switched from a 49" G9 to a 39" Ultragear. The vertical spacing really helped me with it because most are just long but not tall to help. Ultragear does that best.

But so worth the price.. That vertical height is very useful.

Immediately.... Returned it the next week for a 39" Ultragear because it at least has some HEIGHT to it instead of just straight up letterbox extreme. Couldn't browse properly and had to just stretch it down to just a box in the center of screen and the sides my desktop...fuck that I do not regret the switch to the UG.

Nope, nothing other than a few hundred price when on sale. I got my 45" on sale for $1200, the 39" was on sale for $999.
