Based on 1 year's data from Jan 28, 2026 How it works
Very happy with my single LG Monitor 38UC99-W. I can have multiple apps up including a mind boggling 2 foot wide waveform edit window.
I think LG has a relatively newer version of 38" in IPS. It's the W model. I've worked on both 34 and 38 ultrawide and the 38 is way better. You really grow to appreciate the extra vertical height that 1600px gives you.
IMO, 38" 3840x1600 IPS is the sweet spot for work + gaming. I've been using a discontinued LG monitor for the last 5 years and have been very happy with it.
I have a 38" 3840x1600 monitor (same aspect ratio), that I've been using for work and gaming for the last 5 years and absolutely love it!
I always considered 38" at 3840x1600 to be the sweet spot in terms of ppi and vertical screen real estate. The GX9 is an upgrade to both which makes it the top choice until the higher ppi 39" versions arrive later this year
I went from 2 22" displays to 1 49" Samsung CRG9. The 49" was great for work productivity but for gaming I found it to be too short (not tall enough). I sold the 49" and now have a centered 38" (3840x1600) "main" display and an off center 27" (2560x1440). For my uses, the 38" is excellent for both work productivity and gaming and I use the 27" on the side for comms (Email, Teams, Discord, etc.)
HELL YEAH LOVE my 38" 3840\*1600
Using a 38 3840x1600 and works great. Imo it will be fine until series 7k.
Ultrawide, for sure. The standard-ish 3440\*1440 I found a bit small, so I went with a 38" 3840\*1600. I do think my next will be a 5Kx2K, though. Many games won't support it, but you can run 16x9 if they don't just fine.
I have a 9800x3D and just got a 9070xt and I play on a 3840x1600 38" ultra wide, it's dope
Having used a 38" 3840*1600 extensively for work I've been waiting for a long time for an OLED ultrawide to meet or beat that resolution. I'n my opinion anything less than 1600 vertical pixels is insufficient for productivity usage so I've been extremely excited to try 45" at 5k2k for some time!
