Review on LG 38WQ88C W Inch Curved UltraWide Monitor: Immersive 3840X1600 Display with On Screen Control and Dynamic Action Sync by Matthew Bradfield

But it works. Very disappointed

IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING AN ULTRAWIDE MONITOR, GO TO THE SHOP AND TRY IT! I was happy to receive it. Now I'm so disappointed with it. I can't understand why there are so many good reviews for it. Maybe people are watching videos or playing games. You can't do any real work. With this monitor, they will die a slow, horrible death. I'm a graphics freak. (I'm very familiar with computers, monitors, drivers, etc.) I do a lot of Photoshop and Final Cut Pro (video) work and work with Excel spreadsheets. The colors of this monitor are poor and cannot be adjusted. Although there are some adjustments, it doesn't fix the problems in any way. LG's affordable software borders on stupid. After taking the time to download, install and run it. You feel like an idiot because of the movements. The OnScreen Control software is stupidly useless. You have complete control over things you don't need to control. What you can't do is adjust the resolution or color. I can set Chrome to always open on the left side of the screen! OH BOY! i will return it I spent too much time trying to get it to work. Now I forgot about the bad color - the screen is very annoying to your eyes. When I work on a Word document spreadsheet my head starts to hurt after 30 minutes. When I transfer the sheet from LG back to my Mac Retina, the headache goes away. Oh, and LG doesn't support them at all. They have a support section on their website but there really isn't anything there. You can download silly screen customization software, but that's about it. Yet again. Attention buyers! If you need accurate color or work a lot with spreadsheets or documents, this monitor will ruin your life.
