i think the most frustrating point of the entire market saga with backlight bleed on IPS panel is literally how from a mechanical point of view how stupid an oversight it was, and how easy it is to solve the issue
with us pushing the envelope on 21:9 size, we needed to get it right and its so pleasing to hear that - we were always going to be hit hardest as we were market leader on IPS seeing as it is our technology

That is good to hear, as from a consumers point of view, when spending £1k on a screen I expect it to be perfect and bad backlight bleed or IPS glow is something I won't accept. You then have a fight on your hand getting it returned as not all retailers like taking them back.
It is for this reason I have held off buying a new screen despite wanting the 38UC99. If there is minimal bleed I may dive in

the bleed is very good, ive been trying to take a pic but my phones focus goes all over place in the dark and I cant get decent photo of it
Same here the screen is really awesome.
And great to hear Daniel, although I want you to wait a couple of years until you release something awesome. I'd like my new 1k£ screen to be top-of-the-line for a while now. Not see it replaced by something greater. Haha

Can the LG 38UC99 be run at full res over USB-C? and can it do passthrough for anything for the new MacBook Pro's? (power USB hub on the monitor etc)
How long before we see a G-Sync variant of this panel I wonder? Why don't LG ever do it? Is it simply because of the cost? Given what the likes of Acer/Asus charge for the X34/PG34 and LG's superior design (IMO), I can't believe they wouldn't sell well.
If they did a 75 Hz version of this with G-Sync even with higher cost I would have bought it already.
Exactly my thoughts!
I don't think LG has ever made a G-Sync monitor? They haven't jumped in the locked tech but just support the open tech. The ball is on nvidias side to start supporting VESA adaptive sync. It's a simple driver fix - they just need to pull their finger out.
I see it the other way: I am using an AMD graphics right now and if nvidia would release a GPU with Freesync I would have bought it already. Waiting for nvidia...

Could not have said it better myself, I'm guessing lg does not want to pay nvidia to put gsync modules in there monitors and if this becomes a trend by monitor manufacturers then I can see nvidia being forced into freesync.
Like yourself a 1080 would already be in my PC if nvidia supported freesync
^^
That and also because they probably have to redesign the casing/chassis to accommodate the gsync module, which means even more money and time + effort needs to be invested:

I would say that nvidia are practically on the verge of being forced into adopting adaptive sync now, gsync monitors are being left in the dust massively now:
That is a few months old now so the freesync numbers have probably jumped even further. I imagine if gsync monitors were selling extremely well, we would be seeing a lot more than that.
With support from intel coming as well as TVs + consoles, the gap wil only get bigger so it is only a matter of time until we see nvidia support it and keep gsync to the "premium" gaming monitors.

if anyone is wondering how the screen handles 4K UHD BluRays:

The general idea of this page in regards to us and g-sync is correct - although we do have one coming next year but its 34" not 38" JFYI
Presumably that's using the same panel as the X34/PG34 then? Bit late to the party aren't we lol?!
Still, if you can guarantee little to no bleed and 100Hz, it will sell well at the right price.
