I have the 45inch version. I prefer gaming on this over my 42inch C2 just because of how immersive it is. The way it wraps around your FOV when gaming without the need to move your head up and down is pure perfection.
I've been using this monitor around 10h to 12h a day since 3 months, mostly for work (software developpement) but also for gaming. Most of the worries I've seen online are non issues : - the pixel density is more than good enough, even for small texts - oled is perfectly fine for productivity IMO. We will see in a few years for burn-in, but I'm not too worried about it - the brighness is sufficient. It's set at 85% when there is direct sunlight in my office, with ABL disabled. So there is some margin - the coating is just perfect, I don't get why people complain about it. Glossy screens look odd next to this One thing that is true, and it was my main concern before buying : the color fringing, in certain conditions. It is noticeable. At first it was a bit disturbing. However, I don't really notice it anymore, unless I look for it. I think it's just a different pixel pattern than what we are used to with LCD, and in the end it's not a big deal. The advantages of OLED exceed easily this issue. However I have a few complaints : - no USB-C input - the power brick should have been integrated, and it should not be this HUGE. I've never seen a power brick this big on any device. Even my old 350€ monitor has an integrated power supply - the ambiance lights are almost useless. In full darkness in front of a white wall, it's barely noticeable - the menus are not great, there is room for improvement - the build quality is not in adequation with the price Overall I have absolutely no regret, I could not go back to another monitor. The things that matter the most are perfect for me : the size, the curvature, the aspect ratio, and of course the image quality... I'm just a bit annoyed to pay a big price and have the kind of prestations that you find on a monitor 4 times less expensive (everything outside of the panel)
Bought this bad boy after watching your last vid. I’m a monitor enthusiast. And this beast took it to a new level. Absolute delight to power this on every day for gaming and work. If you can buy this at $1k or less, you just got a deal you’ll not regret.
To me 1440p 39" is the sweet spot, my opinion is that having a PPI above 90 is way overrated, anything above that point I'd rather take the frames(and the low GPU usage) with the lower PPI which is something that can be solved by moving the display a little bit backwards and not requiring a much more expensive GPU and/or force me to lower frames, my 32" VA G7 at 1440p already looks really good and I sit close and I can't tell the individual pixels.
It is the perfect monitor size for sure when it comes to UW. Mine is a non-OLED 1600p. They will release High Resolution OLEDs in this format by the end of the year.
They'll release the 5120x2160 oleds next year, which I will buy and probably set the res to 3840x1600, since my gpu probably won't be able to handle a res that's 33% more pixels than 4k😅
When I buy a TV or monitor first thing I do is look at the screen, got to be just a little matte not shiny but not too matte like 40 grit sandpaper. I think my screens are 400 grit sandpaper. I worked for years in a dealership auto body shop so I think of textures in sandpaper grit.
The blur happens due to nvidia and or AMD settings. It drove me crazy with the First Descendants and I disabled one of the Nvidia RTX settings one by one until I found it. Otherwise great video and as an owner of this same monitor I love it! My only issue I have is the texts as I use it for work an the documents fonts are not as clear, but other than that it's simply breath taking!
I'm still debating about with direction go with my monitor upgrade. 1440p for sure. But ultrawide or 16:9? It'll either be the Alienware AW3423DWF or the Alienware AW2725DF for me.
@@Phil_529Thank you for the input, I'll look into that monitor. But I'm not into upscaling whether its DLSS or FSR. I've rather play on 1440p in order to avoid the performance hit from 4K. If anything, I could down (super) sample from a higher resolution to 1440p.
@@Reluctant_Hero Nah, supersampling is a waste of time. You don't actually have the pixels there to get the real benefit. I used DLDSR with my 27" 1440p AW2721D but that really doesn't compare with a true 4K panel. Personally at 1440p I would just opt for DLAA since DLSS/DLAA is legitimately the best anti aliasing around right now. I'm curious what your experience is with DLSS since you are so opposed to it.
@@Phil_529 i had this, but i think UW is more immersive. the alien is great for movies though. I just didnt like how much vertical height there was vs the width. also with HDR enabled you cant control screen brightness on the monitor, whereas with the lg you can
Maybe you know what could be problem i just bought this monitor and my games keep crashing after 15 min or so. Pc spec 8700k, rtx 3080 12 gb. 32 gb ram. Psu 750W. Maybe its just too old for monitor. Before I was running asus pg348Q 100 hz no problem. Its sad maybe I need to upgrade the pc too...
@@frogboyx1Gaming yes with old one everything works fine. Tried switching cables dp and hdmi, also switched slots nothing helped. No I will try Ddu in safe mode and reinstall drivers or maybe I should reinstall windows. Anw I try something if that would not help I'm guessing maybe its monitors fault.
To correct you on your time with the monitor. What you stated 4 months isn't true, you got your LG Ultra wide back in "June 22", that's only 2 months ago from june 22 to july 22 thats one month then go from july 22 to August 22 thats only 2.2 months including now that it's September. You have not had that LG ultra wide monitor for 4 months.
Glad you’re still enjoying the monitor. For what you paid, I still think you should have went 32 inch 4K 240hz. But if your happy that’s all that matters
Did you know that this monitor can do 4k resolution? I found this on another site and I thought he was kidding. First you have to use the HDMI cable that came with the monitor. Now I use an Nvidia card but most likely AMD has resolution setting for 4k. 3840x2160. Now after that your screen will squish for a bit but if you go to your monitor OSD and then Input-Aspect Ratio-Original that will fix the squishness. Couple of things though it will only be 120hz and it will make it 16:9. And you can play with the display for the fonts to make it larger and if you go to display settings on windows you will see the 4k results. If you knew about this then sorry for telling you this but if you don't try it out if you like it but I don't get the credit because someone else did it and I forget the name.
i dont understand you have put perfect 6k picture on your screen and trying to convince us that its good ,,but man we saw in games how it streches and looks blurry sometimes ,especially when you moving mouse its so bad and blurry man ...,not fan of ultra wide or curved screens

@ so you’re basically saying all ultra games will look “stretched bad and blurry” based on one thing you’ve seen from one TH-camr sounds about right from someone that only has a few functional brain cells.

Fair enough I can see how the power brick is probably the worst part about it. But as you say no regrets at all.
Does the brick get hot? Maybe they kept it external to reduce temperature behind the screen.
@@grayavatar9766 it's just slightly warm. With the size of the screen, there is plenty of room for heat dissipation, if they wanted to integrate it

Absolutely 💯 I freaking love this monitor.
how close do you sit, eyes to the screen?
@@Zombie101 hmmm 1.5 to 2 feet
@scarpint3 cool, so do you find it too close? I'm leaning toward 34 I feel 39 might be too big for me
What size did you get?

Hi, I'm undecided on which size to choose... whether 34 or 39 considering that I would use it at a distance of about 60cm.
Thank you
I think either would be fine but the 39 is perfect for me very crisp detail and beautiful colors
I be getting that blur too, never thought about the upscaler causing that
@sidexside9772 yeah it goes away when I turn it off
It is the perfect monitor size for sure when it comes to UW. Mine is a non-OLED 1600p. They will release High Resolution OLEDs in this format by the end of the year.

@@karlix4919 even a RTX 4090 cannot manage all those pixels on demanding games. It will require lowering some settings
Looks awesome but i will wait for next years model the PPI and the res and pixel density will be higher.
just arrived.fantastic.

Increase your font size to 125% see if that helps.
you happy or recomendet same model only 34 inch ?
Absolutely my friend the 34in has more pixel density
@@frogboyx1Gaming meybe 34 inch take more quolity better
Frog why aren't you using Wallpaper Engine? The animated UW wallpapers are so sick
I like my pictures
@@frogboyx1Gaming Yeah that's fair
Really stuck between getting this or the Samsung 49 in qd oled
Hard decision my friend.
how close to the screen do you sit though? i suppse you cant really sit only 25 inches away, which is typically the distance i sit
Like 2 feet maybe
$700 on woot right now... $700!!?! instant buy at that price, especially when the new model is going to be $1500+
