Review on LG 38BN95C-W UltraWide πŸ’» Thunderbolt Connect 3840X1600P, 144Hz, Curved Monitor by Tim Gonsalves

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Unacceptable quality control at this price

Perfect monitor if LG had quality control. The first monitor I had had dust under the screen and 6 pixels got stuck. The replacement came with 10 dead pixels. After finding 10 stuck pixels, I honestly even wonder if LG has any quality control. This is unacceptable for a $1400 monitor. At this price it should be impeccable right out of the box. Use Alienware aw3821dw if you don't need free sync. This one is a bit more expensive but its quality is controlled by Dell and they stand behind their products. Claiming the LG warranty comes with many hurdles that you can overcome - google it and find out. Update Edit: Of the two monitors I got from Revain (the one I bought and its replacement), I decided to keep the first one. for fear that returning/replacing too many times would ban my Revain account. But after using this monitor for a month, I found a design flaw. The included monitor mount attaches DIRECTLY to the monitor's plastic frame, not the metal frame. This results in the plastic frame of the monitor CONSTANTLY creaking due to the force exerted on it. LG decided to economize here and you'll suffer from a terrible squeak when using the included mount. I have no idea if this issue occurs when using a VESA mount that attaches directly to the metal frame of the monitor. This is a public notice for all prospective buyers of your 38BN95C/38WN95C monitors.
