ZERO DEFECTS!!! UPDATED
Purchased this through Amazon and had it shipped to my duty station overseas. This monitor came directly from the manufacturer through Amazon. The box was in pristine condition as well as the monitor. It took me 3 mins to set up and attach to the stand...completely tool-less. I have this connected to my Lenovo 7i as I am currently awaiting for my PC to arrive. PROS: Excellent picture Zero backlight bleed (this is the first monitor ever that I received with no backlight bleed) This thing is HUGE! 3840 x 1600 is now my new standard...I don't see myself going back to 3440 x 1440 Works great with my laptop No Gsync fan noise!!!! No dead pixels! Infinity light works great (I did not download the software) Soo much more! CONS: A bit pricey but I saw that Amazon knocked off 150.00...I would say this thing is worth $1500 - $1600 (tops) Current PC: Lenovo Legion 7i Intel 10th Gen 10875H 8 core/16 thread (undervolted) does not break 75c on heavy loads, idles at 38c RTX 2080 Super Max Q (never gets above 55c on heavy loads) 32Gb RAM Overall: Unfortunately, I am using an HDMI cable (the one that came with the monitor) plugged into my laptop (no displayport for the Lenovo) and I am sitting at 85Hz. I will provide an update once my PC gets here so I can fully take advantage of the capabilities of this monitor. Right now I am content with gaming. I get the full 85hz when playing call of duty warzone. I bump down the resolution for the game by one below...3477 x 1440 (I believe) but it still looks great! UPDATE (25 Sep 20): I purchased a 4K type c to Displayport and increased my resolution to 160hz..and WOW!!! Phenomenal! Had this monitor for 3 months now and everything I wrote above still applies...I am still amazed and now it is even better at 160hz! I will post another update...still awaiting for my main computer to arrive....I also managed to snag a 3090 (I game and program) and will give an update on that connected to this monitor! ... show more

Like a Boss
Did lots of research into this and other monitors beforehand. Nothing beats the size of this monitor. That, combined with the pixel density of a 1440p 27in, gsync, high refresh rates, etc.. This is a premium monitor worth the cost. Most of the bad reviews are about the fan. I cannot hear the fan and I know other reviewers that cannot hear the fan. I'm guessing this is just a random squeaky fan, which I personally suggest might go away if you just deal with it. I have a projector that got loud a couple big times and it just went away. Also, I would recommend looking up how others have adjusted the settings. I have seen a complaint that when the monitor goes to sleep and wakes up, it resets some settings. This is only if you leave "deep sleep" mode enabled. I would recommend to everyone just to turn this off. So yeah, if you do your research, actually understand your monitor and all its capabilities, etc., then I can almost guarantee you will not be disappointed. There aren't a ton of 38 inch monitors and this one is the best in it's class imo. Last note: I currently have a 1080ti that smashed everything in 1440p. The 3840x1600 DOES challenge the card. Witcher 3 on ultra settings I sit around 55 fps. With gsync it is definitely playable, and I can't understate how much the huge fov makes the experience immersive and impressive. Personally, I got this monitor with the expectation that before too long, I will upgrade to the Nvidia 30-series (assuming it is comes out as rumored). One last thing I have yet to draw a conclusion on is the 10bit v 8bit RGB. I am excited about 10bit, but I want to do more testing to see if I can really tell the difference. You can only use 10bit at 120hz with hdr enabled, which is no problem with my current 1080ti. But once I can push the frame rates, I might find it worth sticking to 8bit, at which you can raise to 160hz. FYI, the 175hz compromises RGB to a degree that isn't worth it. If this information puts you off, I will enlighten you that a lot of monitors do this. At a certain point you have to compromise one trait for another, and of course they will advertise the best of each possible trait. If you consider this as a 110ppi, nano-ips, 1ms, g-sync monitor with either 8bit RGB at 160hz or 10bit at 120hz, then you will not be disappointed. Don't count the hdr for anything, lol. (Hdr 400 with global backlight isn't truly hdr according to every reliable source) K bye! ... show more

Pricey, but best in class.
My previous panel was a 34" MSI 3440x1440 VA panel, which was solid, so I wasn't sure if I'd need this upgrade. Well, let me tell you: it 100% was. The extra screen real estate at 38" is noticeable straight away, as is the extra bump in resolution. This will overclock up to 175hz, which you won't be hitting for years from now on most titles. I have a 5800x and a 3080, and am nowhere near refresh cap. The colors are exceptional, and really pop. Really immersive for gaming and movies. It doesn't explicitly state it, but this supports both Gsync and Freesync, so you're fine with whichever GPU brand you run with. Excellent response times, quality panel, vibrant colors, high refresh rate, Gsync, Freesync, you name it. The only achilles' heel of this panel is the HDR 400, which at least for me, wasn't a selling point anyway. The curve is pretty moderate also. The Alienware 38" is the only real direct competitor for this guy, and the LG has the better image quality and feature set of the two. LG makes the panels for both actually, and I'm fairly sure they keep the best quality panels for their own line. The Alienware does have a nicer stand and frame, as well as a better warranty. However, I didn't feel it was worth it's tradeoffs overall. Excellent panel that will last you for years. I highly recommend it. ... show more

MOTHER OF GOD
Update 6/26/20: Three days ago my replacement monitor failed in the same way as the first. The replacement lasted 6 months. I have reached out to LG for repair and have not received a shipping label yet. Also as a tip, if you send your monitor in, I would recommend not sending it in the retail box as they could not assure me that I would get it back. Here is my updated review after 6 months of use: The monitor is beautiful when it works. You really couldn't ask for more in a gaming monitor, MAYBE better HDR performance. I'll save you a long read and just sum it up here. PROS: + Excellent refresh rate + Beautiful colors + Bright backlight + G-Sync + LED lighting is cool CONS: - 175Hz is useless - Price - Quality control - Monitor frequently goes black for no reason - Very slow to wake from sleep - Didn't readily display post, wouldn't wake until Windows loads ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Update 1/16/19: Deducting a star. Having to return the monitor. It stopped powering on. Hoping for a quick replacement, because this monitor rocks. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ I did a lot of research on this monitor. Coming from a 5+ year old 30" HP ZR30W (2560x1600) I was looking for an upgrade. I was between the 34" and 38" ultrawide, and I'm very glad I bit the bullet and went with the 38" because I don't think I would have been satisfied with the 34". This is the best monitor I have ever owned, hands down. Games look absolutely incredible and fill up your entire field of vision. If you have the money, I cannot recommend this monitor highly enough. ... show more

A great all-around monitor for productivity and gaming
I cannot believe how gaming changing having a high refresh rate monitor is. Going back to standard 60hz monitors practically feels broken! I love this monitor for supporting my favorite aspect ratio and resolution, in addition to the high refresh rate. Picture quality on this monitor is good, but not top of the market. There is some backlight bleed when viewing black content in dark scenes, and overall, the blacks aren't very deep. Colors are natural, but not oversaturated. The monitor is easy on my eyes when I work long sessions. HDR performance is the main reason why I docked it one star. Since this monitor is only HDR400, it cannot match the sheer luminosity of other monitors. If you're specifically looking for a stunning HDR experience, I would recommend another monitor. ... show more

Fantastic for gaming and productivity, but expensive
I purchased this monitor as someone who wanted to get back into the Ultrawide market - my first one decided during a move that it didn't want to work anymore. Tragic, really but it was a 3 year old X35 that ran at 2560x1080. I knew this would be expensive, but based on reviews by some of the different tech YouTubers I've seen, I opted to pull the trigger on this one over the Predator X35, as it was a couple hundred cheaper with the main tradeoff being HDR400 on this vice HDR1000 on the Predator - more on HDR later. My overall impression - it's worth it if you've got the money to burn, but if not I'd suggest something at a lower price point. There's a 34" variant of this that's 3440x1440 with HDR and most of the same features that's about half the MSRP of this one. Pros- - Ultrawide, but a little taller. This is a 38" ultrawide monitor with a 24:10 aspect ratio as opposed to the traditional 21:9 or 32:9 of other ultrawides, which gives a bit more vertical screen real estate at 3840x1600. Normally, the 35" monitors that this competes with run at 3440x1440. It's not a massive difference, but it helps for productivity. - This display is GORGEOUS. Bezels are unoffensive, the light ring on the back is pretty easy to tweak (or disable), and gets REALLY bright. HDR looks fantastic (provided you know what settings to use, more in the cons). The included stand is hefty but doesn't take up my whole space or have an overpowering gamer aesthetic. I have a monitor arm, so I don't use the included stand but I wouldn't mind using it if I couldn't use the arm. - I/O is pretty standard - HDMI and Displayport with an integrated USB hub. You need to use the USB hub if you want to control the RGB software from your PC. There's some nifty features there and a couple of modes that aren't accessible through the OSD. - Includes everything you need. All of the display input cables and USB are included, and the packaging isn't absolutely massive like other ultrawides. Cons- - The 24:10 aspect ratio can throw off some games that normally do support ultrawides and result in small black bars on the left and right of the screen. I don't notice in-game, but it's definitely there in some big titles like Call of Duty. This isn't LG's fault, but it's a consideration to take that this isn't a super common aspect ratio. - Though the monitor officially supports 144hz and 175hz (on overclock), there's some pretty significant tradeoffs. Chroma subsampling and coronas can become a pretty serious problem if response time is set too high or the refresh rate is 175. This can also impact HDR performance. For me, the sweet spot is 120hz, Response time set to "fast", with HDR enabled (10bpc, YCbCr444). HDR Disabled I'm okay going up to 144, but that can be tough to achieve even with a 2080ti on modern AAA titles. Microsoft is terrible about HDR within Windows, so I generally disable it outside of games. - HDR400 is a fair bit dimmer than HDR1000 on competing monitors. It still looks fantastic and I'm 100% down with it, but if you want the best possible HDR experience, this ain't it, chief. - This display has a hefty price tag. I don't think its totally unreasonable given the feature set, but I'm of the mindset that they really need to do better on the marketing for this one to make sure people know what they're getting into with the different modes, HDR settings and so forth. - It's 2020 and this monitor doesn't have an internal power supply. I get that it would have added weight to a monitor that's already pretty hefty, but come on, the power brick on this thing is a literal brick. I used some command strips to slap it onto the underside of my desk and forgot about it, but it's frustrating that I had to do that at all. ... show more

Excellent monitor
I had been thinking about an ultrawide monitor for a while, I wasn't sure if I'd like an ultrawide as I previously was using an 32" LED TV which I thought was big enough. I looked at reviews in general and decided a 38" ultrawide was one I'd try the 49" ones just seemed like they would be too wide, so I got this one (LG 38GL950G-B 38" ultrawide). I am using it with the following set up: Motherboard: ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X GPU: AORUS GeForce® GTX 1080 Ti Xtreme Edition 11G (2017) All the games I own run fast and smooth on it. I love it. Things to note: For some reason you can't get to the BIOS when using the Display Port cable it doesn't display anything until it gets to the windows log in. Fortunately if you use the HDMI cable instead you can get to the BIOS. Switch back to the Display Port when you are done messing with the BIOS as you miss out on some features if you use HDMI. *** Update I found the BIOS problem was that my Nvidia graphics card needed a firmware update, you can find it by searching for "nvidia display port update". Note: After the update I can't see the BIOS when using HDMI cable, but that's fine as I want to only use the display port *** To make my games use the full monitor I changed the settings in Nvida Geforce Experience. To do this find your game, click on Details button, then click on the wrench and set the resolution to 3840x1600, click Apply. Just mentioning it as some games don't show the resolution in their options, but they will work using the settings I've described. The stand is substantial and I tried to capture in the photo that you can actually slide paper freely under the stand due to the stand been on rubber feet, which is kind of useful if you want a keyboard cheat sheet on your desk and you like the monitor up close when gaming. ... show more

Greatest gaming monitor even if overpriced
This monitor is perfect for anyone who doesn't care for HDR which, honestly won't be found well implemented on any monitor without paying quite a bit more anyway. I say it is overpriced because the 34" model is nearly half the price of this one but I wanted to splurge so I did. This thing is fast in both pixel response and refresh rate. After loads of research (watch Hardware Unboxed's YouTube video on this monitor for the most comprehensive review on this thing) I found that this would best serve my needs of mostly gaming. The only thing that I wish could be improved would be the contrast ratio/brightness. It gets plenty bright but if you push it too far it can look a little washed out. However if you don't have bright light directly on the monitor it's not too bad, just have to adjust to your personal preference. You do need a pretty hefty video card to push the nearly 4K amount of pixels so keep that in mind. ... show more
