This monitor's spec was really great. But quality control of the product was such unsuccessful. I had monitor's screen quality problems after 2 months I purchased. With dealing unkind customer support, finally I could send the repair to the local repair center. They fixed the problem and I could use for a while. Now, I am having the same problem and I need to send the monitor to repair again. It should not happen too many times like this. Customer support attitudes are not good.

After having this monitor for 3 and a half years, I've had to replace the mother board twice because of burn in issues where I'd continue to see faint images of my previous windows even after I unplug the HDMI or thunderbolt cable! Definitely would not recommend this monitor. Big flaw for the price.

This is a very sharp, crisp monitor that I use for desk work mostly. I would recommend it to others.

This monitor does all I wanted it to do connecting to macbook pro via thunderbolt. Good picture, fast refresh, nice resolution.

A huge deficiency that such a monitor is unable to Automatically recognize if you have a signal source on another input. In the menu, you cannot configure a quick switch to Joystick, for example, between DisplayPort and HDMI1. Much cheaper, weaker quality monitors also have this ability. "Auto Scan Source" Other than that, it works well.

This monitor meets my needs pretty well, with its curvature and large size. I can even hook up two computers to it and easily switch between displaying each of them. The only complaint that I have is that the automatic brightness adjustment is always too bright, especially when sitting right next to my iMac which does brightness adjustment really well. So, I have to manually adjust the brightness of the LG monitor twice every day. That could be done better, LG.

I've wanted a curved monitor for quite a while. This one fills the space on my desk perfectly and has just the right curvature. It also hooks up just fine to my iMac as well as my work windoze laptop. My only complaint is that the automatic brightness adjustment setting always makes the display brighter than I'd like it. This makes it so I have to adjust brightness manually anyway.

This is hands down the best monitor you can buy in this price range. It was worth every penny. The size is perfect. Allows me to multitask and be a lot more efficient with my daily work duties. It?s also gorgeous to just sit and look at. You can tell the difference between 144hz and 60hz monitor. Initially I was going to go for the cheaper option but I am glad I didn?t and went with this one. So so smooth!! Don?t look anywhere else get this monitor!

I thought this screen would be too big. And has questions about screen/screen features but I can say that this has blown my mind.

Been using this now for a bit. However, the TB3 was glitchy with my Mac Studio and soon stopped working or recognizing anything in a mater of weeks of owning it. LG's customer service is strange and disconnected. Been trying to see how I can get it fixed for weeks and I simply get odd texts from a bot that goes nowhere. It would be an awesome monitor if it wasn't so fragile

I've had this monitor for a couple years and it's the best LG monitor I've had, to date. I've purchased several LG monitors over the years, and this is definitely my favorite. The 38" of space to work is obviously appreciated if you have a lot going on at once. This allows you to have multiple windows going all the time. Having a photography company, the color accuracy and brightness this monitor boasts, was VERY important; other monitors were deal breakers since they didn't offer the same. I never had any issues with the USB-C connection to my MBP either, which was an issue in the past. I think 38" is a great size, It's not taking up your whole desk, but also not small enough that you feel you need a 2nd monitor.

I have had this monitor for about a month. I use it for work during the day and gaming/video editing at night. Upgrading from three 27" monitors to an ultra-wide has changed my life for good. The monitor is great at what it does. Gaming performance has been good, though I am yet to test it at full potential. I did have trouble with the LG control app slowing down my laptop. I reverted to using the Windows 11 grid instead. Not a deal breaker, just an annoyance. A second USB-C thunderbolt input would make this monitor perfect in my opinion. Overall for the features and performance, no monitor comes close in my opinion. If this same monitor was available in 48" with 2 usb-c ports, I would upgrade in a heartbeat.

The display is so beautiful that I've now sworn off buying rebranded monitors (MSI, Dell/Alienware etc) no matter how good the deal is. Worth every single penny I spent.

Does everything I need. Only complaints would be having to manual control certain settings with the joystick located on the bottom. I would also prefer more ports spread out in other areas. The application isn't the greatest for managing so that could just some work or just include a remote. But in all honesty I the monitor is great. But when it comes to customer service and getting a replacement. Is totally ridiculous. I had the monitor for 5-6 months. My monitor along with my electronics is connected to a UPS and protected. I ended up having to order another monitor and just the old one back to Amazon to deal with. It was the power supply that was corrupt;ed and showed no sign of damage. I use the monitor on a daily basis and having it be at least a month to receive it back is totally unacceptable. Since I didn't save the box since I am not a hoarder. The monitor is excellent besides the power supply brick and customer service needs a lot of work.

This monitor looks exquisite the colors are popping off the screen I use mine for Ps & Lr picture editing aswell as Vegas post video editing, the 144hz refresh is the icing on top for a little gaming on the side paired with a Nvidia 3090ti this screen is the poster child for perfection

This was a serious investment but so worth it. If you?re considering a wide screen monitor you will definitely want a 38? one. Go visit a store to see a comparison to a 34?. If you feel reluctant about a curved monitor I can tell you it?s weird for about 2 days and then it seems natural and you don?t notice anymore. I use this for work and play. For work, it?s awesome to have all the extra room of two side by side monitors in a single one. I?m able, on my MacBook Pro, to change the resolution to 4K and suddenly get more space. I can do zoom meetings and take notes simultaneously. I can more easily work with multiple apps at once. For play, I haven?t played too many games yet but now that I have this monitor I?ve been thinking about getting a gaming pc to take advantage of the awesome refresh rate. I also bought an Egotron desk mounted arm to mount this monitor to. It?s awesome to move the monitor where I want it. Streaming content feels very immersive and beautiful. The bright and sharp colors are amazing. You will not be disappointed. I like the monitor software that lets me control the monitor from the computer.

I pre-ordered the monitor in the middle of the pandemic. It made working from home much more enjoyable when RDPing into work. After installing it the first thing I said was that I wish I had a second one. :) Originally had it connected to my late 2013 Mac Pro but in August 2021 I moved it to my new Threadripper Pro workstation. I've worked with ultra high resolution images in Photoshop which have high ppi and never had an issue of working with the content. The monitor sits in the sweet spot at about 110 ppi which makes application UIs the perfect size. I have a LG 27" 4K Ultrafine that has a 142 ppi that makes the entire UI super tiny. I prefer the 38WN95C as the ultrawide format works better for for me.

First I must say that it incomprehensible that LG does not bother to mention any specs on DP and HDMI ports on the specs site here.... Secondly the supplied thunderbolt cable does not work on the Microsoft Dock 2, it works fine when connected direct to Surface 8 pro though. BUT when I use a USB-C cable supplied with the VP3881 - supplied with this Viewsonic competitor, it works perfect via the Dock (yes, it won't do full 10 bit, but it does 120Hz). I also tried it with another TB3 cable supplied with the Caldigit TS3 plus, and also works fine from the Dock 2. So really strange.... HDR is nice, but really when would something need for pro-HDR work, you would really buy something else. the HDR on this monitor is a nice gimmick, but really nothing to use as an argument. Yes the 120Hz capability is nice, but does nothing for the eye strain (yes I do know what I am talking about). In all, nice but not wow and does not work with Microsoft Dock 2 via USB-C with supplied TB3 cable. I will return this monitor and keep my VP3881, was a tad cheaper and colourwise for sRGB webwork and photo work really on par with this slightly newer panel.

Perfect size, very bright and intense if you need to crank up the brightness! However, the IPS panel uniformity is off, I experience a pinkish cast on the left side, and a greenish cast on the right side. I'm hoping a monitor calibration will fix. Also, black text on white backgrounds seems to have chromatic aberrations. Blue/Red ghosting around the font.

I've tried many types of monitors and this is hands down the best one that covers all my needs. The USB-C is perfect for my macbook pro that I use for work, and the 144hz UW is fantastic when hooked up to my gaming PC. I couldn't ask for more (Well maybe a 40" version with same specs) but that doesn't exist yet. Thank you LG for designing such an excellent product!

I bought this monitor back in November and I'm really happy I did. This ultrawide is perfect for my at home workstation setup. I had done a lot of research as to what was available in the market and this came highly recommended. I don't usually write reviews but I needed to for this product. This works perfectly and displays a beautiful picture when paired with my 2019 MacBook Pro. There were some dead pixels that appeared after a few weeks of use but LG made good and fixed it for me free of charge. Great company, great product.

I bought this monitor about a month ago and couldn't be happier. It is everything I had hoped it would be. First, why LG? I have had other LG products and they have all worked out great. I also like the compatibility with Apple including the Thunderbolt port. As for my type of use, I'm not a video editor. Seems so many posts about Ultrawide screens are from those folks. Surely the screen is great for them, but it is also great for business professionals (I'm a lawyer and getting an MBA). So all day I run Word, Outlook, Excel, Chrome, Safari, a Contract Lifecycle Management System, Messages, Teams, Zoom, etc. I usually keep an app or two running on my 15 inch MacBook next to the screen so I've got 53 inches of real estate - its awesome. The angles / curvature seem perfect to me, although I'd be interested in seeing what a slightly more curved screen is like. There is a lot of adjustability in terms of screen height, tilt, brightness, font sizes etc. The screen runs better on the newer Apple OS. It will work on Catalina, but you need to manually adjust things while running Catalina that are automatically handled in Big Sur. Take note that there are preset brightnesses for reading, watching movies etc. I didn't realize this at first and the screen seemed just too bright, but then I found the presets for reading and that was a game changer for me. Colors are great. I haven't noticed anything re black colors that I've read about in other reviews. I also really like the sleek and modern fit and finish. The curved base is attractive and functional - keyboard fits right in there well. Strong suggestion: give thought to your desk. Prior to purchase, I measured the width of my old desk, but not the depth. I had been working on an antique desk that was only 21 inches deep. That wasn't enough. Due to the curved base, this monitor is deeper than I had expected and on my 21-inch deep desk the monitor was right in my face. Luckily, we also had in the house a 25-inch wide desk (50 inches wide) which I moved into my home office - worked out very well. This monitor is pricey for sure and honestly I suspect I would have been equally happy with a $1,000 monitor with lower, non-gaming speed. But maybe not, as I've heard about flicker issues with some of those. Bottom line, I don't regret one bit paying the extra money for this monitor. It's kicking butt and taking names. Transformed my work space. Like everyone else during Covid, I've been working very long days from my home office and desperately needed a real set-up. This is precisely that. Really happy with the purchase. Strongly recommend.
