I actually like monitors that come without speakers. Most people are gonna have dedicated speakers. Also, less weight on the monitor as no speakers are installed. But my opinion of course..
I just bought the 34 inch version which I think is the optimal size for 3440x1440. It has the same pixel density as my current 27 inch Odyssey G7, which is not ultrawide at 109ppi. I feel like 39 inches doesnt give enough of a benefit, especially when mostly playing mouse and keyboard games and sitting up close, to justify the reduction in PPI. I'm super excited to get it and I am worried about burn-in, but based on the research I've done, it seems like just hiding the taskbar and desktop icons, having a black or moving background, and allowing it to perform its image cleaning regularly is more than enough to reduce the chances of burn in significantly. I've heard that you really need to have a static image, with high brightness, sit in the same spot for days in some cases before you will even begin to notice burn in and in most cases, its temporary. For permanent burn-in, you would need to have that same image there all day, every day, for months. I would use it mostly for gaming and watching youtube/movies, so I'm sure I will be fine **fingers crossed**
@@nadershalabi6241 I’m fairly new to PC gaming, so I definitely wouldn’t consider myself an expert on things. But I’m extremely picky when it comes to screen quality, and I think it looks amazing! I don’t really notice low pixel density personally. But it’s also been awhile since I’ve had a chance to play on my PC!
How do you find the text clarity and readability? I have the AW3423DWF which is a beautiful 1440p OLED and it took me some time to adjust to the text being blurry in comparison to traditional pixel structures. QD-OLED panels don't fix it and this is the first different panel I've seen since they were also released.
0:14 Dear Lord, do NOT put a curved monitor (especially one with such an aggressive curve) face down on a hard, flat surface and then put pressure on the middle of panel in order to install the stand. Your just asking to crack the screen. In fact don't do that with any monitor curved or not. Leave the monitor face down in the box with the Styrofoam pad underneath for support and then install the stand directly from there. Then you can lift it out of the box
I disagree about monitors needing to have speakers. The *best* monitor speakers sound *worse* than the *cheapest* dedicated desktop speakers, and the people buying this monitor will no doubt already have good speakers, or have the cash ready to buy high quality speakers. Plus, in my experience, Windows automatically prioritizes monitor speakers over existing options, when a new monitor is plugged in (or just randomly), which I find extremely annoying. I'd like to hear why you think speakers are necessary in monitors.
Some people just want to watch a youtube video using those monitor speakers, mostly talk, which sound fine on monitor speakres. People are obviosly not using it for music and gaming haha...
@@Dr.WhetFarts you can literally buy 20$ speakers and they sound much better than any build in speakers, It really makes no sense to build in speakers. 0 sense. Would just make the monitor, thicker, heavier, more expensive. All for nothing
Totally agree with this, and in addition I assume if you can afford this monitor, you can also afford some decent speakers which are made for desktop setups or even a good headset!
While it's not the best resolution, it's the same ppi as the current 32" 1440p monitor I use which is more than fine...but OLED has the whole text rendering issues so maybe I'll wait until they release a 1600p version or they fix the text rendering issues on oled
Well I'll say this it may be a decent monitor for PC but I have a 42-inch LG OLED C3 for my PS5 and my Xbox series X and looking at this compared to my TV I think the TV does a better job with those consoles
I actually like that they kept it lower. It's easier to drive 3440x1440p at 240hz. It will be hard to drive the full capability of this resolution alone.
I actually liked the 45 Inch how it looked from the back and on the front, kinda looks more immersive. And tbh the stand looks cheap compare to the 45.. what do you think should I go for the 45 or this one? Would love to see the comparison between these 2! Great video ❤
If your simracing I'd say 45 to get the larger fov, let's see what the interest is with your suggestion of doing a comparison on the comment if there is alot of interest I'll do it
OLED 39 -- This is a great monitor. If I hadn't scooped last gen's 45 UltraGear for 900 (open box ftw), I'd be considering it for the slightly improved PPI. That being said, I sit about an arm and a half away and have zero issues with PPI. I'll wait a gen or two! Thanks -- was waiting for reviews of the 39 incher!
Just last week I ordered the 1rst gen with 45", too. Couldn't resist the price tag of 980 bucks. Now I kinda regret it, seing that 39" one with higher PPI and a nicer stand.. Although I'm also not bothered by the low PPI so much, since I use that monitor mostly for PC-Gaming, and just sometimes for productivity work. Not sure if I should just return it and get the new one as soon as it's available, or if I should keep my 45" one. I really enjoy the screen-size of my current monitor though.. I'm torn 🤔
@@AdmirD got mine for the same price. The 39" has it's coming soon page on best buy for 1499. I don't like the stand that much especially since I use a desk mount
OLED 39 Thanks for your review! recently the 39" got discount, but I would really hope able to see higher resolution panel such as 3840x1600 that would just take my money straight! and LG 32" 4K OLED that monitor just keep out of stock, cant buy that like forever!
For me the only deal breaker is the price. Gaming only I am fine with the PPI of 96, as even a 4090 wouldn't be enough to drive this monitor @ 240hz in the latest titles. Hope this is just the early adopters price, as the LG 45" WQHD@240Hz has already come down like 60% since release.
Yes, true fact. I mean its completely sensless, because we speak about a UWQHD monitor, but here is just a thought: Would it be possible to reset the aspect ratio to 16:9 (resolution 2560x1440) for some additional FPS? And in the future you could upgrade to the "Next-Gen-GPU" to drive that panel on its native resolution (3440x1440).
I wanna get back into ultra wide, but when I got my 35”, it still felt small. Then got the 49” and it felt too skinny. The 45” is too big… So if price willing, hopefully it goes down a little and I’ll give this a shot. I’ve never paid full price for a monitor, and never will. I don’t want that first adopter salt.
I really wanted this monitor due to the 21:9 format and size but the resolution is too low. Ended up with a G9 49“ oled and I’m more than happy. I was hesitant cause 32:9 is not always supported by older games but so far it’s not problem. And it’s also great for productivity.
OLED 39 looks promising- mine will be here the first week of April... the most difficult part is waiting. I can understand why they skipped speakers, as anyone using this for gaming will have a great audio setup- but for office use, it would be nice to have the simple speakers for the typical "ding" when using office apps. I'll be using mine more for home office use than anything, but I have an old flight sim cockpit setup with gaming chair- so I may throw a VESA mount on that and bring that back to life. Now, if only decent video card prices were a thing...
Great monitor I just bought the 34 inch ultra wide version on sale on Amazon on sale for $796 right now! The only drawback to this monitor is it only HDR 400. But for the price, I’m gonna go ahead and deal with it but if you’re an HDR person you want one with a minimum of HDR 600.
I picked up the 34inch one myself. It was too good of a deal at only $600 down from $1300. I love it but I really wish Ultra Wide support was more of a focus for JRPG's like Granblue Fantasy Relink and Dragon Quest 11. Really sad I can't play those without black bars.
OLED 39 - thanks for the review. I'm strongly considering "downgrading" from a 42" LG C2 to this one as a kinda miss UW for gaming. You didnt really comment on the matte coating here, which some other reviewers have really been trashing hard. So can I assume it didn't really bother you much?
A well implement matt finish can absolutely be better than a gloss coating, it doesn't take much to get reflections with gloss and that of course destroys the visual experience. If your in truly dark room, sure gloss.
Did you end up keeping this monitor? I've had this monitor for 2 weeks now and it's the first oled monitor I've owned and I can live with it's cons for now. It's a solid monitor for gaming but everything else it's just okay if you look past how amazing the 39" 800r just pulls you in.
as someone using a curved monitor since years i'd absolutely never go back to a flat screen but here, i'm really interested by this one but i'm scare that curve could be too much in person :/
How would you say this? Performs a comparison to the LG45 inch ultra gear with the 800 R curve. I know the biggest concern with that model. Was the low PPI count? However, I think it made up for it with immersion. But what would your opinion be
Performance is very similar but this is brighter the higher PPI makes it slightly best but it all depends on your usage if you're just going to be using it for simracing then the 45 inch gives great immersion with the larger display but I did find was a bit over welming on a desk, this is where thee 39inch felt just right on a desk.
I have already said before between flat 32 inch or 34 inch OLED, always flat. But if they have 38 inch then I will go for it. Issue is the resolution. It should be 5k resolution for this 39 inch.
my gut feeling tells me that the next 1-2 years will be a sweet spot long term to buy an ultrawide OLED monitor. I'm expecting a 360-480hz 1440p UW monitor with a further improvement to the OLED tech and in particular, the new anti glare coating developed by Samsung on the QD OLED panel front and LG will probably do something similar as well. I honestly don't think that we will ever need beyond 240-360hz on an UW, especially at this size, it's borderline too big for the primary purpose of super high Refresh rate, aka competitive shooters. I'm still a bit uneasy to buy an OLED monitor though (too many static elements for desktop use) still rocking a 120hz alienware 34 inch ultrawide IPS monitor and a 180hz LG Nano ips monitor. I have a have a high end Sony OLED TV though (A95L) so I know what I will be buying myself into.
Let me know if you like it, I've been pretty frustrated with the text quality, just got mine today. Overall, I find the image to look more blurry than is acceptable for me, so I'm returning it. Ironically, the curve, which is something I thought I would hate, was one of my favorite things. Refresh rate was awesome and colors were good, but damn that image blurriness Even when the resolution is set correctly, kind of sucks for me. Maybe I'm just extra sensitive to it or something, but it was pretty disappointing. Hope your experience with it is better
It doesn't launch here until next week. I preordered from a local Best Buy so I can easily return it if I don't like it. if you have a 1600P 21:9 I'm not surprised it disappointed you. I'm coming from a 1440P 34" 21:9 LCD and will keep it for work. my oled tv has spoiled me so I've wanted an oled monitor. if I was you I'd wait for an oled 1600P 21:9. I'll probably upgrade when those come out too.@@nathanfife2890
aside from being a bit brighter than last years model yes the one to get is the 32'' 4k dual mode one though pre orders are already live for the 2024 ultrawides on best buy with a ship date of 3/19 as for the 4k dual mode 32'' 16:9 monitor you have to go lg direct right now for that and its coming in april
The 34" is better for this resolution, it has 109 PPI, which is about the same as 42" 4K or 27" QHD. The other problem is the 800R curvature. You should be sitting within 32" away for optimal fov. Due to the low PPI, you need to be seating further away, but probably past the center point to match the apparent sharpness of the 34" at the center point, so it's not exactly optimal imo. Also, it's $1599, pretty steep. The 27" QHD 240hz is half the price, and a 42" LG C3 is like $900. You're really paying a premium for the 240hz, and the curvature I guess.
I trust the LG brand so this new monitor is impressive to me. I would love to have this monitor so i'm looking into where i can get it. Your review is super thorough and great as always my friend. OLED39/ like 425
Hi, excellent video! I'm thinking to buy it for my Xbox Series X and for my Asus ROG laptop G16 with i9 and 4060, do you think would be a good option? I have found it at 849 USD here in Mexico. Thanks in advance, best regards!
Thanks its a perfect option for a PC but xbox doesn't support ultrawide monitors so you'll get black bars at the side but if you don't mind that then all good. This is an alternative but your gpu won't make the most of it th-cam.com/video/ujHpGxNETa0/w-d-xo.html
@@GeekStreet thanks for the recommendation, I'll take a look. Maybe I should start saving money for a decent PC with a great GPU for the future. Best regards!
Hello. I just purchased this monitor. It is awesome. The only thing I realized is, there is a light pinkish tint on the right side and can be seen on white background. Some users tell that these oled screens have the same issue. Is it a problem or normal behavior ?
This is normal, it's due to how the subpixel layout being RWBG (Red/White/Blue/Green). It happens on ALL OLED monitors, QD-OLED is less noticeable. Until Windows learns how to handle it, it'll continue to be an issue. The problem becomes less noticeable as the pixels per inch increase.
@@matthewmayberry239thanks a lot. So this is not a technical issue. Whether I replace it with another one, it will still continue to have that pink color on somewhere. I was thinking to replace the display cable but seems not a solution.
@@AslanBehar Correct, Windows 10/11 does not properly handle the subpixel layout. If you're using MacOS, I believe it does from what I've read, but I haven't personally used it to know. Until Microsoft implements support for the subpixel layout, every single OLED will have some sort of color fringing. W-OLED seems to have it worse than QD-OLED. I personally cant see it on my QD-OLED, but it's 4k and 32", so the PPI is fairly high. On my 42", I could see it very minor.
“OLED” 39. That being said, how’s this monitor on a 70 cm deep desk? My desk is 63.5 cm deep, the Karlby countertop from IKEA. I assume the PPI will be even more noticeable for me since I’ll sit closer to it..?
49 inches screen are far too narrow for me, i like that they kept the 21/9 ratio from the 34 inches screens while making it bigger, but the resolution isn't great and the surface is mat, so the color and brightness are just less good than if it was glossy. I think im gonna holding it for now. At this price I want perfection.
OLED39 That's exactly what I've been wanting.... now all I need is the 21:9 aspect ratio support on PS5. I would have preferred the headphone jack position with the rest. It's a shame for those who would run speakers to have that one cable visible all the time, with the rest being hidden.
@@GeekStreetI've seen it discussed elsewhere, and from what I understood there's a lot more to pulling it off than your average user understands. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed
Q: Im still trying to figure out more about monitors, but is this a good monitor for gaming and 3d rendering? I create 3d renders for fashion and Im just wondering if I'll be able to use this monitor for gaming (fort & cyberpunk) and 3d rendering (full scale outfits & runways)

While it's not the best resolution, it's the same ppi as the current 32" 1440p monitor I use which is more than fine...but OLED has the whole text rendering issues so maybe I'll wait until they release a 1600p version or they fix the text rendering issues on oled

This but with the updated sub pixel layout and a 3840x1600 resolution would be basically the absolute peak of 21:9 monitors.

Coming from a 34" VA ultrawide I don't think the reduction in ppi will be as noticeable as all the improvements this monitor brings
Oled 39 - I think this is a better buy then the 45 in. But I haven't seen anyone compare them Side by side yet.
The main difference is that the 39" has a better ppi and is brighter.
Thank you for the great review, LGUltraGear OLED really beast 🤤
Great video. Maybe move your branding to the center. It totally blocks youtube controllers in lower lefthand corner.

I picked up the 34inch one myself. It was too good of a deal at only $600 down from $1300. I love it but I really wish Ultra Wide support was more of a focus for JRPG's like Granblue Fantasy Relink and Dragon Quest 11. Really sad I can't play those without black bars.

The aggressive 800R curve is a deal breaker for me, I was really looking forward to these 39" OLED ultrawides.
The curve on the 39inch is pretty good to be honest, whereas the curve on the 45inch feels a bit overwhelming on a desk
@@GeekStreet Ah actually I have a friend with the 45" Ultragear, I hate the curve on that, interesting you feel this is not as bad.
Same, I was planning to get it but decided against it after seeing the curve. Even Samsung's 49" has a les of a curve.
as someone using a curved monitor since years i'd absolutely never go back to a flat screen but here, i'm really interested by this one but i'm scare that curve could be too much in person :/
Yo that look really good , an impressive monitor for immersing in games, great review 👏.
Thanks!
OLED 39 🤓👍🏻 Thanks for the honest review
❤️
Centimeters are great but you could translate it to inches also for us in the states.😊
Thanks for the feedback
How would you say this? Performs a comparison to the LG45 inch ultra gear with the 800 R curve. I know the biggest concern with that model. Was the low PPI count? However, I think it made up for it with immersion. But what would your opinion be
Performance is very similar but this is brighter the higher PPI makes it slightly best but it all depends on your usage if you're just going to be using it for simracing then the 45 inch gives great immersion with the larger display but I did find was a bit over welming on a desk, this is where thee 39inch felt just right on a desk.
have to wait for a review from rtings however I've the 38Gl950-B don't know if I should upgrade. don't like that it's curved so strong.
I have already said before between flat 32 inch or 34 inch OLED, always flat. But if they have 38 inch then I will go for it. Issue is the resolution. It should be 5k resolution for this 39 inch.
my gut feeling tells me that the next 1-2 years will be a sweet spot long term to buy an ultrawide OLED monitor. I'm expecting a 360-480hz 1440p UW monitor with a further improvement to the OLED tech and in particular, the new anti glare coating developed by Samsung on the QD OLED panel front and LG will probably do something similar as well. I honestly don't think that we will ever need beyond 240-360hz on an UW, especially at this size, it's borderline too big for the primary purpose of super high Refresh rate, aka competitive shooters. I'm still a bit uneasy to buy an OLED monitor though (too many static elements for desktop use) still rocking a 120hz alienware 34 inch ultrawide IPS monitor and a 180hz LG Nano ips monitor. I have a have a high end Sony OLED TV though (A95L) so I know what I will be buying myself into.
Saw this monitor in person today at Micro Center & I'm pretty sure I'm selling my LG C3 42" & getting this!
Great review. I think 39" is the sweet spot for me. Yours is only review on the 39" so far. I just preordered one from Best Buy. 😁
Thanks and great to hear the review helped 🤩
Let me know if you like it, I've been pretty frustrated with the text quality, just got mine today.
Overall, I find the image to look more blurry than is acceptable for me, so I'm returning it.
Ironically, the curve, which is something I thought I would hate, was one of my favorite things.
Refresh rate was awesome and colors were good, but damn that image blurriness Even when the resolution is set correctly, kind of sucks for me.
Maybe I'm just extra sensitive to it or something, but it was pretty disappointing.
Hope your experience with it is better
It doesn't launch here until next week. I preordered from a local Best Buy so I can easily return it if I don't like it. if you have a 1600P 21:9 I'm not surprised it disappointed you. I'm coming from a 1440P 34" 21:9 LCD and will keep it for work. my oled tv has spoiled me so I've wanted an oled monitor. if I was you I'd wait for an oled 1600P 21:9. I'll probably upgrade when those come out too.@@nathanfife2890
39" Ultrawide is what I am after, not in a stupid 800R curve and want at least 1600P, so the wait continues.
Here watching this on my 27in OLED LG thinking if I should upgrade
The new one?
Me 2 ❤
@@peterpaul4650 I just sold my LG 27GR95QE-B and bought the new Asus rog swift oled the ultrawide one
so besides the SIZE, everything else is the same with the 45 model?
aside from being a bit brighter than last years model yes the one to get is the 32'' 4k dual mode one though pre orders are already live for the 2024 ultrawides on best buy with a ship date of 3/19 as for the 4k dual mode 32'' 16:9 monitor you have to go lg direct right now for that and its coming in april
The 34" is better for this resolution, it has 109 PPI, which is about the same as 42" 4K or 27" QHD. The other problem is the 800R curvature. You should be sitting within 32" away for optimal fov. Due to the low PPI, you need to be seating further away, but probably past the center point to match the apparent sharpness of the 34" at the center point, so it's not exactly optimal imo. Also, it's $1599, pretty steep. The 27" QHD 240hz is half the price, and a 42" LG C3 is like $900. You're really paying a premium for the 240hz, and the curvature I guess.
Thanks for the review! This is the exact monitor I was waiting for! Any idea when this is going to be released in the UK?
I think May/June
would be useful to have a comparison with the new 32 4K variant - I'm torn between this and that.
I would go for the 32 4k as it has a better ppi and speakers built in.
LG really cheaped out by not including a remote, even the new 27gs95qe has one AFAIK. I hate these knobs beneath the bezel
I miss having a remote, alway a nice accessory to have.
Thanks for the review

Did you happen to notice if there is active cooling with a fan?
This didn't seem to be a fan
Awesome review! Can you let us know where you get the circuits prints that can be seen on the right?
I hope we get this model in the Netherlands 😁😁😁
🙏
Can I ask what desk riser you got? It fits perfectly with the monitor on your desk
As a kid it's my dream to stream and have a setup like this but no money to even save rather than to get one😢
The deal breaker for me is the pixel density, Far too low, what is LG thinking...
Amazing monitor!!! Any word on this monitor being compatible with the Astros a50x??? I know some other models are not
It should be able to. I have the new 29inch model and it work just fine with my Astro A50x
Do you notice a big difference compared with last year 45 monitor ?
its a meme at that pixel density. 3840x1600 is the minimum resolution for that size
I use a 48" 4K OLED as a monitor and it looks beautiful, has a lower pixel density than this monitor.
PPI is irrelevant. PPD is king and the curve and size really helps this monitor
Surely a lot of your sim screen is blocked by those vertical rails?
It's not too bad
I trust the LG brand so this new monitor is impressive to me. I would love to have this monitor so i'm looking into where i can get it. Your review is super thorough and great as always my friend.
OLED39/ like 425
😍
Which to choose? - LG 39GS95QE or ASUS PG39WCDM? They are the same panels I think no?
Same doubt here. Wondered, does this LG monitor have fans ? That might make the choice easier..
ASUS ROG Swift 39 is much more advanced with a better power delivery of 90W, unique ASUS tuning tech, custom heatsink etc.
I need this exact size but in native 4k. So I upgrade from my OG 38in curved
Hi, excellent video! I'm thinking to buy it for my Xbox Series X and for my Asus ROG laptop G16 with i9 and 4060, do you think would be a good option? I have found it at 849 USD here in Mexico. Thanks in advance, best regards!
Thanks its a perfect option for a PC but xbox doesn't support ultrawide monitors so you'll get black bars at the side but if you don't mind that then all good. This is an alternative but your gpu won't make the most of it th-cam.com/video/ujHpGxNETa0/w-d-xo.html
@@GeekStreet thanks for the recommendation, I'll take a look. Maybe I should start saving money for a decent PC with a great GPU for the future. Best regards!
Hello. I just purchased this monitor. It is awesome. The only thing I realized is, there is a light pinkish tint on the right side and can be seen on white background. Some users tell that these oled screens have the same issue. Is it a problem or normal behavior ?
This is normal, it's due to how the subpixel layout being RWBG (Red/White/Blue/Green). It happens on ALL OLED monitors, QD-OLED is less noticeable. Until Windows learns how to handle it, it'll continue to be an issue. The problem becomes less noticeable as the pixels per inch increase.
@@matthewmayberry239thanks a lot. So this is not a technical issue. Whether I replace it with another one, it will still continue to have that pink color on somewhere. I was thinking to replace the display cable but seems not a solution.
@@AslanBehar Correct, Windows 10/11 does not properly handle the subpixel layout. If you're using MacOS, I believe it does from what I've read, but I haven't personally used it to know. Until Microsoft implements support for the subpixel layout, every single OLED will have some sort of color fringing. W-OLED seems to have it worse than QD-OLED. I personally cant see it on my QD-OLED, but it's 4k and 32", so the PPI is fairly high. On my 42", I could see it very minor.
5:43 I think the word is "fringing".
Frigging is something entirely different.
“OLED” 39. That being said, how’s this monitor on a 70 cm deep desk? My desk is 63.5 cm deep, the Karlby countertop from IKEA. I assume the PPI will be even more noticeable for me since I’ll sit closer to it..?
49 inches screen are far too narrow for me, i like that they kept the 21/9 ratio from the 34 inches screens while making it bigger, but the resolution isn't great and the surface is mat, so the color and brightness are just less good than if it was glossy. I think im gonna holding it for now. At this price I want perfection.
Question for you - What was that transparent dock station looking item that was under your monitor table??
That's actually a powerbank check this out th-cam.com/users/shortsawRjceILgW8?feature=share
@@GeekStreet That’s awesome! Thank you so much! And also thanks for replying back!!!
It's 3440, so you dont see more horizontal view compared to a regular 3840.
I don't like how they removed the remote controller, it's a "life saver" on my LG 27gr95qe.
Yeah they should have kept that
OLED39
That's exactly what I've been wanting.... now all I need is the 21:9 aspect ratio support on PS5.
I would have preferred the headphone jack position with the rest. It's a shame for those who would run speakers to have that one cable visible all the time, with the rest being hidden.
If the ps5 or xbox offers ultrawide support it'll be a major game changer
@@GeekStreetI've seen it discussed elsewhere, and from what I understood there's a lot more to pulling it off than your average user understands. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed
I'd actually like to see ultrawide support on consoles too.
Would this be a great monitor to do office work like excel and Vantagepoint all day? Mr. OLED 39.
Any reason because is not 4k? thank you, great video!!!
Great detailed video! Thanks!
😍
800r curvature for a 21:9 ? Wouldnt buy it even if would be for free. DoA.
Can’t wait for the 5k2k version next year
kind of strange that LG made WQHD , but not 4K for this size... thats sad
At what distance are you while gaming at you're desk?
would be buyable if it were 3840x1600. Unless you can push this back 35" or more, it will be blurry
These ultrawides at 34"+ will be better next year when we start seeing 5120x2160 resolutions. Until then 1440p at these sizes is sorta mid.
Great review, thanks. Does it have a fan ? Any coil whining ? That could ease the choice with the Asus ..
No fan and I didn't notice any coil whining
@@GeekStreet ok thanks for the update.
In your opinion, why did Asus bother doing this special thermal system then ? (It looks like LG chose not to..)
I've read it's to do with image burn in but LG takes care of that via their OLED care options in the OSD.
@@yvanmmh2966 lg did it too for example on the 38Gl950-B and over time you always get a coil whine from the fan or something else.
@@dorfkind9825 I indeed own this monitor, and.. cool whining is present.. ok, it's 4 years old..but it didn't appear yesterday...
1 point for Asus..
Sad... missing ppi 96... deception... how the hell they havent put 3860X1600 ?!?!
Q: Im still trying to figure out more about monitors, but is this a good monitor for gaming and 3d rendering? I create 3d renders for fashion and Im just wondering if I'll be able to use this monitor for gaming (fort & cyberpunk) and 3d rendering (full scale outfits & runways)
From what your saying I'd say yes, but be aware of the low PPI as this this will effect the sharpness of text.
@@GeekStreet thank you!
I don't understand these low res monitors. WHY. HOW? .. 39 inch with 1440p??
It's the best test I've seen on this screen.
I know it's a 39" but what are the actual measurements of the screen (height, length)? I want to determine desk space.
I've shown in the video, check it out 🤙
This one or 45gr95qe ?? Im looking for playing World of Warcraft.
i just cant get myself to buy a curved monitor. i use it for more than gaming and working on anything is always so odd and warped looking to me
