We want more 1600p (3840x1600) and 2160p Ultrawide (5120x 2160) monitors!

[Cinnabuns]

Completely agree on the "Burn-in Warranty". What LG is WELL AWARE of is that people won't notice the burn in until AFTER the 2 year "warranty" runs out and then they won't be responsible for replacing anything. An expensive monitor that should last 10 years or longer like this or... any monitor really, should have at least a 5 year warranty. That would reflect that LG or any company with that warranty ACTUALLY STAND BEHIND their product quality. Since LG doesn't stand behind their product for long enough for it to matter, neither should the consumer.

5120x2160 240Hz is going to be the GOAT at 39”. 3440x1440 at this size or larger is stupid.

[ralphtime]

i just got the 39in yesterday and its stacked with the alienware oled 4k.. video quality on the lg looks super close to the 4k.. Its beautiful to my eyes even at 1440

[moltenbullet]

Keen to see the 38" 1600p refresh to oled from Alienware (Aw3821dw)

[maverickvgc]

It's incredible how much of a difference a 1600p panel would have been, it would have been a unicum.

Instead it ends up as another low PPI panel from LG

[ChrispyNut]

Awww, was hoping for 3840x1600, which is the resolution I'm interested in and at this size.
I've not seen anything announced for this with the latest OLED tech 😢

[frostburn]

Great review and summary on this monitor! I've been following the 39" Ultrawide pretty closely because I agree I think it could be a great upgrade to 34" Ultrawides but with the curve, resolution being a bit lower than it should be and the price I can wait.

[ledooni]

I do understand that it makes sense to have some sort of curve with an ultrawide, but why this strong again? What we really need is an OLED version of those 3840x1600 screens with 2300R curve. It‘s the specs I want but no way am I touching an IPS ever again.

[vampe]

2 years ago I have decided that my next monitor will be 38-40" 240 hz 5120x2160 OLED, and it doesn't matter that it wasn't even announced then. I knew the day of its release will come, and it will be the day I upgrade my whole desktop. Now I know this day is no longer some distant opportunity, it is already coming to us. When such monitor will be released it will be a true masterpiece, I don't think I will need anything better for a couple of decades.

[maxus]

I have LG 45" version - this is by far the best OLED monitor I have ever owned! Resolution is not a problem.

Hey, minor note: timestamps were incorrect, seems like it is due to the insertion of the 7:49

These videos should include, at the end, what your optimal settings would be if this was your daily driver.

[txtasosxt]

They're still making 1440p? Don't we have enough of them? When will we get any 1600p or 2160p UW?

[neopac]

i would love to see a IPS successor to the 38GN950, but 1440p WOLED and a 800R curve is a easy 'pass' for me .. 2024 is a frustrating year for a new screen if you try to avoid OLEDs.

[grimdicer]

Been waiting for your review of this monitor like a kid on Christmas. Thank you.

[anhiirr]

1:24 glad to hear this, Ive been considering a swap to an OLED panel 21:9 for a racing setup and PVE titles. While i wait a few years for a lower price point for a 32" 4k oled monitor to put beside it. The local dimming and response time/adaptive sync potential makes the 21:9 aspect ratio seem somewhat more viable even if using a cropped 16:9 ratio for twitch shooters....now ppl can actually have a 21:9 purely for gaming on most genre, and an ideal 4k for work/etc with a lower refresh rate like 120hz or etc that would seem to be much cheaper.

[hiyasuamv]

I was praying for 5160x2160, alas the wait waits

[colesym]

In the last 30 days on the page for this display on the LG website, they have replied and stated they have a 2 year burn in warranty, as long as its not improper use like commercial digital signage.

[tylerjamesnewton]

Helped me opt for a different model from LG. Their 38” with the higher resolution is exactly the balance I need at this price point. Thanks!
