LG 38wk95C... I’m tempted but where’s the competition ?

[Phantom]

I’m seriously thinking about this monitor - I’d like a 21:9 ultrawide with as much vertical height as I can get (1440p minimum). A triple monitor is out of the question and while I do play the odd game (I’m hoping I can live with the 60hz), I need desktop real estate to maximise productivity (graphics, programming,video editing etc).

Thing is, this is fairly new and I’m not seeing much from manufacturers covering the 3840x1600 resolution. Is there anything else I should compare this to? Is there anything from Alienware or Asus or Acer that I missing?

Does anyone have it? If so, what are your thoughts?

Thanks

I knew about the Dell (as a workhorse) but I fancy treating myself for my home-office. Ill read up on the viewsonic and Acer, thank you

I hadn't considered a 5k monitor but in a smaller dimension will it look too small sitting from about 50cm away?

maybe July (knowing shipping) but I have a pre-production sample in the office and it is AMAZING

Would you say anything bad about any LG monitor? are there reports of backlight bleeds? How’s it look with the one you have?

I hope it’s significantly better than the 38UC99...

Any news if OcUK will stock It? Tbh, I'd prefer to buy from a retailer I trust
