LG 38GL950G B Ultragear Monitor: 3840X1600P, 144Hz 🖥️ Refresh Rate, Height Adjustment, Wall Mountable, Anti-Glare Coating, IPS Review

Pre-studied this and other monitors. Nothing compares to the size of this monitor. That, combined with 1440p 27-inch pixel density, gsync, high refresh rates, etc. This is a premium monitor that offers good value for money. Most Bad Fan Ratings. I can't hear the fan and I know other reviewers can't. I suspect it's just a random squeaky fan which I personally suggest can go away if you just take care of it. I have a projector that got loud a couple of times and then just shut off. Also, I would…

I bought this monitor as someone looking to re-enter the ultrawide market - my first monitor while moving house decided it no longer wanted to work. Tragically, it was a three year old X35 with a resolution of 2560x1080. I knew it was going to be expensive but based on reviews from some of the tech youtubers I saw I decided to pull the trigger instead of the Predator X35 as it was a couple hundred cheaper and the main downside was HDR400 was. plus HDR1000 on Predator - more on HDR later. My…

Visually stunning, with an eye-catching screen size and the perfect curve for a normal desk depth. You can still hear higher ranges, this monitor has a fan that feels like someone is slowly sticking a needle in your ear. It can start out as a very faint white noise, but as the fan wears out it gets higher and higher and is heard over music and other noise. I've been using this monitor every day for the past year and for the last month in particular it's been a miserable experience to the point…

Let's get the cat out of the bag. $1800 for a monitor. Yes. My last monitor was the $650 Asus 27-inch Swift — and I thought that was a lot. Why did I spend almost $2,000 on a monitor? I usually use 2 or 3 monitors. I work from home so my gaming monitor needs to double as a work monitor as well. When I saw that I could remove an extra monitor from my desk and get more pixel density, I was intrigued. When I found out it was 175Hz OC I was sold. This allowed me to switch to a 1 monitor display…

I really liked this monitor. No flickering as others have mentioned. I've had this monitor for almost 30 days and haven't had any problems. Impeccable image quality and brightness. The colors are phenomenal. The black/grey ones look really good to me. However, about 2 days ago, after doing my best to check for dead pixels, I found 1 tiny dead pixel about 1.5 inches from the outer center on the right side of the monitor. But it took me 3 weeks to notice it. will not affect the experience or…

Let's face it, it's hard to find a good monitor. I was looking for the closest possible pro/gaming crossover and this was the best I could find. I spend a lot of time programming and gaming. I need a curved widescreen to game on with near-instant rendering and the largest widescreen form factor that comes close to the 4K clarity I'm used to. 3860 x 1600 is pretty good, a few hundred pixels less than I actually wanted, but it's enough to hide any Minecraft-style blocking text and images. What…

Arrived eight days earlier than expected (thanks Revain). The build quality is amazing and the LED lighting on the back looks incredible illuminating the wall behind the monitor. The display, games and movie quality are really appetizing. I've never had anything this good, remember I only upgrade my monitors every 5 years or so. My only gripe is that it doesn't have a USB-C port, which for its price it should be. I think if other monitors come out with similar specs from Asus, Acer etc their…

Not sure if this is an LG fan or a fan for the G-sync module, but this fan has a very noticeable coil-like sound. LG would be lying if they said there is no fan here, because there are not one, but two. The first fan visible is the LG fan and right after you turn on the monitor you can hear it whistling. You can hear him whine from 15 feet away. I honestly thought it was a problem with my outlet or something with a bad ground or something, but no, it's the monitor. You can also hear it over…

Great monitor, exceptional picture quality, virtually no backlight and fast refresh rates. Sure it's pricey, but it pretty much has everything you need in a monitor. Should I upgrade to 34 inch? Maybe, maybe not. The 38-inch is definitely big, very big, but it doesn't go far beyond what the 34-inch ultra-wide screen already offers in terms of desktop and gaming immersion. In fact, you probably won't notice the difference between a 34-inch and a 38-inch screen while gaming. These extra vertical…

I've been thinking about an ultrawide monitor for a while but wasn't sure if I needed an ultrawide monitor as I used to use a 32 inch LED TV which I felt was big enough. I looked at the reviews in general and decided I would try the 38" Ultra Wide, the 49" just seemed too wide to me so I went with this one (LG 38GL950G-B 38" Ultra Wide) I use it with the following setup: Mainboard: ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X GPU: AORUS GeForce® GTX 1080 Ti Xtreme Edition 11G (2017)

After years of using 60Hz non-gaming monitors, I finally took a step forward this year. First widescreen Samsung 100Hz, what's the difference! Then tried Lenovo's faster 144Hz widescreen. Garbage. Then I finally turned gold with this 38-inch LG beast. Despite the expensive autofocus, it offered 6 extras on top of the other 34-inch models that made it worthwhile. 1) Big screen (bigger is better) 2) Higher resolution (1440p for short people) 3) Faster Hz (175Hz no problem) 4) G-Sync (to put it…

This monitor is perfect for those who don't care about HDR, which honestly can't be implemented well on any monitor without paying a little extra. I say it's overpriced because the 34 inch model is almost half the price of this one, but I wanted to spend some money so I did. This thing is fast in both pixel response and refresh rate. this monitor for the most comprehensive review of this thing) I found this to best suit my needs, mostly for gaming. The only thing I would like to improve is the…

The device has two fans. After 1.5 years, one of the fans in my unit is now producing enough when the constant high frequency ticking/clicking causes exhaustion. The warranty is only 1 year, which is a shame given the expensive device but cheap parts. contacted support and offered a $400 repair which, considering I put the unit up for sale, is 1/3 the price of the unit - an absurd price compared to the cost of the parts involved - and the labor , which they have to swallow considering they…

This monitor is great. When you turn it on for the first time and set it to maximum resolution, it confuses you. However, this is a gaming monitor and costs twice as much as LG's non-gaming 38-inch ultra-wide monitors. Refresh rate and response time are important to us. For the price, this monitor is only halfway there. Does it get the frames you're looking for? Yes. Will it have enough space for non-gaming tasks? Absolutely. Will it offer the claimed 1ms response time? no Why? Because it can't

This is my second Ultrawide and the first was the LG Ultragear 34. After using the 34 for almost a year I decided I wanted something more, especially given the 34's limited vertical space. Selling, I decided to take the trigger to press and select it. Pros: The RGB ring light is actually a good implementation of 8 bit 4/4/4 160Hz. Increased resolution 3840x1600. Response Time Cons: The LG software required to adjust the lighting outside of the presets is a bit jumpy and causes some programs to…

Amazing monitor using it for gaming and day trading needs space and screen height. My first high-end monitor was always fixed at a 60Hz monitor, but you can definitely see how smooth 144Hz is. It took some time to set up my programs and especially my trading platform, no monitor error at all g sync conflicts with some programs, had to do certain updates and fiddle around. Brightness/contrast is a bit low. You can adjust the contrast and brightness, but feel like your eyes are straining when you

My previous panel was a 34 inch MSI 3440x1440 VA panel which was solid so I wasn't sure I would need this upgrade. Well, let me tell you: it was 100%. The additional 38-inch screen is immediately noticeable, as is the additional increase in resolution. This allows for overclocking to 175Hz, which is something you won't get to in most games for years. I have 5800x and 3080 and am far from upgrade limit. The colors are extraordinary and very popular. Really addicted to games and movies. It's not…

I've been in the PC industry for 12 years and I've never seen such a wonderful panel. This monitor right here is a feast for the eyes. It has the most beautiful colors I have ever seen. The size is absolutely perfect for the curve she has. The RGB backlighting on the back adds a lot of immersion. I do not recommend using a 175Hz overclock as you will lose image quality. Not to mention that even the RTX 3090 (the current top-tier GPU at the time of this review) can't even hit 4K and hit 144Hz in

I'm not used to complaining, but when you're spending $1,600 on a high-end gaming monitor, hope it works. The brand new device I received had hot (stuck) pixels right in the middle of the screen right after I first turned it on. Worst of all, LG says it's not a defect - they say you have to have more than 12 hot pixels for a screen to be considered defective. For real? Luckily Revain has a much better returns policy so I'm sending it back. I've also ordered a replacement block (again from…

Bought from Revain and sent to my office overseas. This monitor came direct from the manufacturer through Revain. The box is in perfect condition, as is the monitor. It took me 3 minutes to assemble and attach the stand. Completely without tools. I hooked this up to my Lenovo 7i as I am currently awaiting my PC to arrive. PROS: Great picture No backlight glare (this is the first monitor I've gotten with no backlight glare) This thing is HUGE! 3840 x 1600 is my new standard now. I don't think…
