LG 38WN95C-W Monitor 38" 21:9 Curved UltraWide QHD+ (3840 x 1600) Nanio IPS Display, Thunderbolt 3, 1ms Response Time, 144Hz Refresh Rate, NVIDIA G-SYNC, AMD FreeSync -White/Silver

Great monitor. Appreciate having a work laptop and my home laptop docked to the monitor with toggles between inputs being seamless. Important for when I need access to both with big screen displays of need info on both.

First, I did a lot of research before pulling the trigger on this one. It has USB-C (thunderbolt 3), 4K resolution, a good height adjustable stand and is wide without being unwieldy. I have been using this monitor for a few months now and I really like it. Great color, resolution and simple menu button (joystick). Actually I have never had to use the monitor menu... another bonus, it just works! There were three reasons I wanted an ultra-wide monitor... One is for flight simulators (XPlane 11 and MS Flight Simulator 2020). I have a more immersive experience and can see more of the cockpit without using multiple monitors. Works very well with both these apps (I have a high end PC with GeForce RTX 2080 video card). The second reason is for remoting into work. I used to have to maximize my VPN window to do any work on the remote computer, then minimize it to do anything on my home computer. Now, I can see all at once! Its just like the remote computer is a full 27" wide screen monitor - that only takes up part of my huge 38" LG. Its just great. The third reason is as a monitor for my MacBook Pro. The MacBook is a great laptop, but for coding at home I want a much larger screen. The LG 38WN95C works seamlessly with my MacBook Pro. I use the wireless keyboard and mouse from my old iMac and just shut the MacBook and go to work on the big screen! Note: the trick is to keep the MacBook plugged in while using this setup. That way it does not go to sleep when you close the cover! If you want a nice ultra wide monitor I recommend this one.

I hate to give a 1-star review because this monitor really is good...when it works. The Good: The picture quality is excellent for an IPS display. Don't expect OLED blacks because it's not an OLED display, but it does a great job blocking light and providing a pleasant viewing experience. The 144 Hrz refresh rate makes animations buttery smooth, and the quick response time makes this a competent gaming monitor. The Thunderbolt port works well, and allows me to daisy-chain this display to my Thunderbolt 3 dock so I can run the display at 144 Hrz while only having one Thunderbolt cable connected to my M1 MacBook Pro. Overall this monitor packs a lot of features and value for $1,199 (price at time of purchase). The Not so Good: It does have minor blooming around the edges when viewing a dark scene, but that is expected on any edge-lit display. The HDMI inputs are only 2.0 rather than 2.1. That means you cannot hook up an Xbox Series X or PS 5 and get the full 144 Hrz refresh rate. The PBP (picture-by-picture) only works with either Thunderbolt or DisplayPort as the main source, and HDMI as the second. This means I cannot view my MacBook and gaming PC at the same time. Not a deal breaker, but just a dumb limitation IMO. Text clarity is not great on this display, and that is likely due to it being a 38" monitor with a sub-4K resolution. Not everyone will care much about text clarity, but as a programmer text sharpness and clarity is extremely important. The Bad: If I were writing this review yesterday then I would have given this monitor a four out of five due to the nitpicks above. Honestly, I was already planning on sending this display back because of the text clarity, but there is a much larger issue that needs to be discussed. After about 2 days of use as my work monitor I noticed that faint vertical lines would show on the right side of the screen. Ghost images of my web browser content would appear as well. At first I thought this was an issue with my work M1 MBP as this issue didn't occur with my other M1 MBP or gaming PC. These liens and ghost images aren't permanent, at least not yet, but they do persist between switching inputs, cables, computers and even unplugging the damn thing. It seems that the display technology itself is the issue here. Of course, this could be an one-off issue with my unit, but I have found many people on Reddit and other forums who are complaining about having the same exact issue. This is my second LG monitor and this is the second LG monitor that has had issues. My first one, albeit a much cheaper 34" WQHD monitor, would just turn off from time to time. Now this new LG monitor seems to have defects as well. Unfortunately, I cannot in good faith recommend this display to anyone in the market, and I will be sending this one back.

Updated Review Jan 2023: LG came through with the shipment of all missing peripherals. A+ for customer support. The monitor has been a workhorse these last two years. No issues. Best monitor I've owned. Ever. Original Review Spring 2021: LG is seriously lacking in its quality control in the packing department. Purchased this new and when opening up box turned the contents inside out looking for the power supply. The monitor doesn't have a traditional power plug so can't use an old monitor's 120v power cable. It requires a power supply brick. There's no list of contents anywhere on the box and there was no manual so I thought perhaps I missed that this monitor doesn't ship with a power supply. I downloaded the only manual available via LG and there's no mention of a packing list. I called LG's support phone number and the agent reported that it does indeed ship with a power supply, as well as other cables. We shall see if they ship the missing cables and power supply. I needed to use this monitor desperately this weekend with a big project due this coming week and am very disappointed. This was my first and last LG monitor depending on LG support's ability to get me the correct peripherals. Will update this review with an update in a week or two and hope to be able to change the rating.

This was my first uw monitor. I've had different monitor setup before... 2 Mon, 3 Mon, vertical Mon, Mon + tv... I was skeptical to see what an uw Mon can that a dual monitor can't... After using it for a while....Besides the obvious watch movies on a wide format. I really like setting windows to 70-30, 25-50-25 with just a snap... I thoroughly enjoy the seemlessness of the space.... Yes correct, there's a premium to this feature... Yes you can live without it.... But so is a second monitor, faster CPU, a new computer....

Hard to say—buying this monitor feels like a gamble. I’ve owned two of this model: the first one has been perfectly fine up to now, but the newer one started flickering right after the warranty expired, with constant screen flashes and ghosting in the background. If I switch to a different monitor, it won’t match the size of my other one, but if I buy the same model again, I can’t be sure I won’t face the same issue. Honestly, it’s just luck of the draw.

I had originally purchased a DELL U38 with 60hz and KVM and Screen options. LG went to sale and is 144hz with GSYNC and AMD Freesync. The screen is sharp and bright, buttons are easy to reach Ive used it with a DELL 27 on top

Liked it at first, after 3 months of use screen has failed completely. Don't buy
