Does anyone own an LG 38UC99 or LG 43UD79-B?

Does anyone on here own either of these monitors who could give their opinions please? Or similar big ultrawide. Holding back on buying a PC until I decide on the monitor.

Started off wanting a 27", then looked at TV's and now really like the look of the LG & Dell 38" ultrawides. Just not quite sure if the black bars on certain things would bother me or not. Which is when I came across the 43" LG.

More for productivity than gaming.

The 43" LG is pretty damn epic imo, low input lag too for games and such like (I had one for a short while)

What made you get rid of it? Not sure if I'll need a deeper desk than 600mm for it if I get one, so I'm not as close.

@Pocah Thanks but I definitely don't want 2 monitors. I'll be doing more productivity to begin with (it's not professional use) but no doubt use it for gaming quite a bit.

I'm currently thinking of either the 38" LG Ultrawide or maybe the 34" Asus Rog Swift. Trying to decide if the extra hz & G-sync is worth losing a few inches.

i have the lg 38uc99 and used mainly for gaming, had it a while and still pleased with it

Do you use an AMD or Nvidia GPU with it? I was looking at possible alternatives with a higher refresh rate and/or G-Sync. I’ve never gamed on a pc before & hoped not to encounter too much screen tearing.
