Poor screen resolution, color and brightness

I really wanted to like this monitor. I spent weeks going through each article and video before deciding on this take. Although this technology is almost 4 years old, there have not been other variants of IPS panels of this size. determination

Very good quality in my opinion

Very good quality and light weight for its size, as well as an anti-glare screen. I really like this monitor, I am very happy with the purchase. I use it with my surface book and it works great. Like it better than my BenQ 32" 4K monitor. When I first turned it on I thought maybe it was too big, but after an hour I liked it much better than my 32" monitor. I use it for the video editing and programming. and it works great. I think it's great for gaming too, although I don't use it for that, so…

But nice monitor. to my rating.

Every aspect of this monitor is good except for the color profile and HDR, they are complete rubbish. HDR looks so awful on this monitor that it was annoying to have to make some halfway decent adjustments to get the picture looking good, but this monitor just wasn't capable of it.

Ideal for video editing

I convinced my wife that I need it for video editing. It turns out to work very well with Adobe projects. I want to see most of the timeline in Premiere without the constant scrolling and zooming.

Not recommended with Mac

I do not recommend this monitor for productivity along with newer m1/m2 Macs. Text clarity is pretty bad. The Mac has abandoned sub-pixel rendering strategies and focused entirely on Retina display scaling (220ppi), leaving fonts very sharp on high-PPI displays (which they sell for high prices) and quite fuzzy otherwise. Perhaps a 27-32 inch 4k display has a high enough PPI to be acceptable, but this display is not suitable.

This monitor has tripled my productivity. So wide that you can easily have up to 3 open windows and zoom videos on the same monitor!

Lots of screen real estate; lame control and power supply

I like a big screen and this monitor fits my desk really well thanks to the simple design. What I don't like is that when the monitor is turned off, after a relatively short period of time, the power to all connected devices, such as my laptop, is also turned off. One night I forgot to turn off my laptop and in the morning the battery was dead. I also don't like the fact that you can't control this monitor at all from the Mac Book Pro I connected it to. This monitor seems to represent the best…

Perfect non-Apple monitor solution for Macbook Pro

I did a lot of research before placing an order and it didn't disappoint. Just buy it. Once you get it, you need to do four things: 1. Download the latest OnScreen Control app from LG website.2. Connect your monitor to your MacBook with the included USB-C3 cable. Go to System Preferences -> Display and disable "High Dynamic Range” for LG monitor. Otherwise, it shows a very strange and awkward color. (I really don't understand why they enabled this useless HDR by default) 4. Change the…

Great screen, picture quality

Good picture quality. Great panel with more than enough resolution for working/coding. Was just too wide for my liking + had a small dent/hole in one corner. It also came with a torn packaging. could not accept the goods for $1000.

Great monitor for Macbook Pro 2017.

It was time to ditch two 24 inch monitors and I was looking for an ultra wide monitor. There weren't many 38 inch monitors on the market and I noticed that most of the screens are made by LG. Prices ranged from $800 - Acer 37.5″ Ultra Wide Curved XR382CQK bmijqphuzx gaming monitor with 3840 x 1600, 1ms response time, AMD FREESYNC technology (display, HDMI and MHL ports) to $1500 (this monitor ). general. However, it was very similar to the previous LG 38UC99-W 38-inch Curved 21:9 QHD+ IPS…

Widescreen for Mac Mini

I wanted to upgrade from dual monitors to an ultra wide monitor. When you switch places in macOS with two monitors, only one monitor changes and I prefer to swap everything at once - it helps me stay organized. This monitor offers plenty of space and works great from macOS to Mac Mini. I was worried about getting a curved screen as I don't like it when my vision is distorted and I was worried I might get dizzy. I got used to it surprisingly quickly and don't notice it.

This is the correct size

Like the size, like having just one undamaged monitor instead of two, flexing isn't an issue (not sure how it would go). The PPI resolution is fine and dandy for my Mac, but I'm not expecting "Retina" resolution this size. I don't like using the "joystick" button to adjust the monitor menu, but that's fine. I like the two computer setup frame by frame. I love even more a computer software from LG called "Screen Management" that lets me split my screen space into different configurations - it…

Great monitor, but small problems

I've had it for a few months now and I love how clean and sharp the images are. My Macbook Pro connects easily, that's great. It was easy to install and use. But there are audio pairing issues and the headphone jack on the back doesn't work for me. The other issue is that the battery is on the outside, but that's what it is. I love it and love how it looks.

  • The appearance

due to lack of space and money. I was fascinated that this monitor with USB, audio jack and charging function could also serve as a "dock" for my laptop. However, the charging function is too weak to provide enough power to the laptop without draining the battery. Every time the screen resets or changes resolution, it turns off or loses audio and USB functions. It doesn't sound that bad. except when you load a game screen and suddenly your camera, speakers, microphone, keyboard and mouse just…

Must buy.: my rating

I love this monitor. It's the perfect size, big but not too big. That is very clear. I was concerned because some people said it wasn't as clear as a MacBook Pro. However, I see no difference in the readability of the text. I have 3440x1440. This resolution is great for multitasking. I use this with my 2017 15" MacBook Pro. It's just one cable to display and charge your laptop. I highly recommend this monitor. I think it's worth the price.
