LG 38WK95C-W 38-Inch Class 21:9 Curved UltraWide WQHD+ Monitor with HDR 10 (2018)

Bought used; had good luck before but this time first had 4-5p dead pixel line across horizontal span, and a bad DP cable, second was missing some accessories like the DP cable entirely (was rookie mistake sending first back before I got replacement, not that DP cable from first would've helped) but so far looks to be good panel except at 60Hz it had line artifacts, switching to 75Hz made it go away, first didn't do that, something I will have to look into further but for now will assume is not a problem.This early review. In middle of room renovation but just wanted make sure got good panel. Despite dead line was able to run some tests on first, and display what I would expect having owned quality IPS is past. Was able to change to 10-bit color in NVIDIA. HDR on this is a lot better than on Odyssey G9, little faded/dim but decent enough that you could leave it on, but still suck compared to normal desktop mode. However for content and things like comparing color tones maybe it could be properly considered a feature, will take more time to decide what I think about it.On unrelated point to this monitor, comparisons to some high end VA panels shows the quality of VA panels has increased to point I don't see much difference. Though I do agree that 1600p should become standard. It's time.Though 90Hz needs to replace 60Hz standard as well. Refresh rate is slow for this price point. But 75Hz is at least some polish over 60, and probably good thing for me because I pushing a lot of monitors on my GPUI would have liked more curve. But sense this isn't all that curved can still flip it around to vertical without looking weird and that something I may end up doing often.I use Fancy zones from microsoft powertoys (free) .. 3 windows across is decent at 150% zoom, will transition pages into condensed format and 2 windows generally gives full web page content width at 150% zoom. Anything below 125% is probably too small for comfortable reading at this resolution.Nice monitor with lots of screen space.Interestingly the speakers on this connected to my computer in background didn't notice until tried change volume on soundbar and nothing happened and realized was coming from monitor. I didn't connect audio cable, sense these speakers have BT connectivity, I assumed it was using that, to test I turned off bluetooth and continued to work, so audio is being passed through the DP cable which is pretty cool. Sound isn't bad at all, good quality at lower volumes so I'll probably use it when need avoid being heard by sleeping people in house.Of course Winamp's Milkdrop visualization looks amazing with this many pixels to play with.fullscreen 16:9 mode such as watching standard youtube content is 29" diagonal

Day one: Great experience so far. I just finished setting it up. This thing is truly a beast and I'm hooked. This is my first curved widescreen monitor, and I must say it is amazing. I'm a developer and I spend a lot of time in front of the screen. It has a crisp, clear resolution (unlike a 5K screen, but I knew that going in) and tons of real estate to code with while multitasking. I also have an older Apple 27" CinemaDisplay (although it's not as crystal clear as my retina 2018 MacBook Pro). The Apple CinemaDisplay is connected to this VESA mount https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MIBN16O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1), but the LG's size alone (IMHO) precludes my need for dual monitors since you can see everything on ONE nice neat screen. Truly immersive.I am just getting my new office space set up (see photos). It fits nicely on my BDI Sequel Lift Desk (https://www.amazon.com/BDI-Furniture-6052-CWL-Chocolate/dp/B01JDA7WIK/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1545075395&sr=1-1&keywords=bdi%2Bsequel%2B6052&th=1).I chose to use this VESA mount (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B21TLQU/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) vs. the LG stand that came with it. I placed the VESA mount bar to the far right side of my desk, so the monitor looks like it is "floating" in front of me. Despite some of the comments about brightness levels, it seems to be more than adequately bright for me. I use Bose (QC-35 Series II) wireless (Bluetooth) headphones too, so it doesn't really bother me that I am unable to adjust the volume on the monitor via my Mac keyboard. The sound (for the built-in monitor speakers) is actually surprisingly decent.The LG On-Screen Control software (in my case for Mac, found here: https://www.lg.com/us/support-product/lg-38WK95C-W#manuals) allows you to choose optional settings instead of manually using the control knob/button just under the middle of the screen. Incidentally, I absolutely do not get any "kickbacks" for posting links, I'm simply listing items I have ordered and use that I had a positive experience with.So far so good. I'll update my post as time progresses...Hope this helps someone!TL;DR - Although it may seem pricey, you won't regret it.What do you have to lose?

After doing a ton of research, I finally landed on the LG 38" wide-screen UHD computer monitor for my gaming setup in my office. The trick was finding a display that would work with both the 4k from my PS4Pro as well as the 4k from my PC on different video inputs...and this thing truly shines!If you've never seen a 4k display before...you are in for a treat (provided you have 4k capability). The additional detail and resolution is certain games is amazing. God of War-PS4P is nothing short of spectacular. Gorgeous colors, hair rendering, sweat trickles, bugs moving on a tree branch, runes swirling on the fine lattice work...it's all comes out with this monitor. And the HDR profiles adds that pop to make everything jump off the screen.The refresh rate is fantastic and I haven't seen a flicker in any game, from F1 2017, Call of Duty, or Deus Ex-2 even on their highest settings. You can really PUSH your graphics cards with this monitor.There are only two 4k inputs (one HDMI and one DP) and one low-speed HDMI, plus two USB ports.Note: compatibility may be an issue...check your cables as you'll need High-speed HDMI and DisplayPort cables to get this to work with your devices (we had troubles with a 2017 Mac using an older HDMI to DP cable...we found out we needed a newer cable).Also, if you are using USB-C adapters at the end of your cables for video, you may also run into an issue. You'll need a high-speed cable without any adapters on the end (the cable CAN have different end-connectors; just not the adapters).All in all, I absolutely love this monitor. It's a bit pricey, but it is well worth it for the picture you get.
