“It’s a thick boy just like me”. Me too Jay. Me too. I like how it looks floating above your desk. Cool video!
"Jay reviewing his monitor"
Me drooling over the ZL1 slideshow in the background
This was exactly my thought aswell! Just taking in those amazing shots of his car and how good it looks for 15 minutes.
@NeVerTX IK! for me it was mostly the clean set of wheels. Hre🤤
The ZL1 is nice, but I'm still buying the GT350 if I ever have the chance. You can't beat a flat-plane 5.2L V8 in terms of the noise it makes. Also, the 350R has a better color palate than anything GM has released lately.
@@Drummin003 eh I just got the c8 and I couldn't be happier. Mustangs are cool, but not my thing. Corvette has always had a place in my heart ever since I was a kid.
@@compassion4227 Can't argue with that. Those C8s are absolutely stunning.
"Corsair is proud to present their new Hydro X line of custom products"
Maybe we will see a review in Summer 2020 after the unboxing in Summer 2019...
Hasn't he already unboxed and used a ton of the fittings from that line?
applemaggot yup. And it stopped there: he never did a full review as he usually does (and said he will), so this is where the joke kicks in.
@@hquest Too bad all that stuff is back at the office, he can't get to it now and is probably dying to make ANY video. Maybe Corsair can send him one of everything to his house?
I read this comment exactly as Jay said it in the video xD (probably my habit of reading through comments while an ad spot plays)
Jay - I have that same screen. It is 3840 x 1600, not 3440 x 1600. 400 more pixels wide and 160 pixels taller.
It was a misspeak
@@Jayztwocents ahh yeah no worries bud - glad you are enjoying yours as much as I am mine! Stay safe and keep up the good content!
That is not correct, the first number refers to the the number of vertical lines, which makes up the width, the second number refers to the horizontal lines, which makes up the height.
@@MrMindlink you're right! that's what happens when I try to work while typing UA-cam video comments! - fixing now.
@@kalmtraveler No worries.
I wanted to get this 38 inch ultrawide since I've first seen it at CES 2019. But the price is so ridiculous, so absurd that I STILL cannot get over it and will not buy it until it's much more reasonable. It goes for 2k EUR here in Europe and the price is not dropping at all, at least the 34GK950G dropped a lot in price in the first few months after release. And the worst part is that you would have to upgrade your GPU to at least a 2080 Super or better 2080 TI to get some decent FPS on this monster resolution.
Bruhhh 1800 for a monitor? I got the 65 inch c9 last year for 1900. Gotta be high to spend that much on a 38 inch monitor.
@@Phaceial OLED doesn't like static permanent images. I had no problems wiht my 55" C6 but I don't want burn in images to appear so is used as TV and casual gaming but not my main PC screen. I was waiting for this monitor for long time but more than 2k seems absurd as Elessar said.
@@Phaceial I got the 55 inch c9 for my room this year I love it! Cant wait for ps5 but for my pc setup I'm on 1440p 144hz
Even a 2080 Super would struggle to do anything worthwhile with that monitor, not without lowering visuals to compensate.
@Lee Shunmugam Yeah, I agree. There will be even less people, what, with the entire world likely going into a recession, putting money into such extravagances.
Hey Jay. That monitor is 3840x1600 resolution. That comes out to 21:9, just like a typical 34" 3440x1440. But I'm with you, the extra few vertical pixels would be nice. I'm waiting for the next models to become available for sale, hopefully at a reduced price. (The Freesync models.)
Is nobody gonna mention how cute it was Jay saying "I really miss him making fun of me :("
💔
We can "PHIL" that spot for him.
LoL see what I did there?
"Cute"? That's an odd choice of word.
Jay that LG 48 inch CX is calling your name this June. With 4k + 120hz + BFI + Gsync and OLED pixel response I bet that's the new king.
What happened to the good old days where you had three options to choose from, 14 inch, 15 inch or a 17 inch CRT monitor?
back when intel was for spread sheets and amd was for gamers
I’m the same way with my TV when viewing HDR at night in a dark room every time white pops up like a logo ☀️ 😵 🔥
But sometimes it helps with immersion. I was playing Gears 5 on my Q90 back when it came out and as the team emerged from a dark cave into the sunlight they covered their eyes... and so did I because it was physically uncomfortable.
"I leave it so it shuts itself of automaticly so it doesnt suck up power." - Jay
Also Jay: Nebula
xP Just a joke^^
Nebula does go to sleep on her own too ;)
@@Jayztwocents Nebula is a girl huh? Hope your wife isnt jelouse haha
"...and you can turn it back on."
Very nice feature to have.
@@Jayztwocents You raised her well then, i have to tell my PC to go to sleep by myself :P
@@Jayztwocents what is the name of the chair you're sitting in?
I bought the LG 34GL750-B for christmas. I loved mine so far.
LG has a freesync version of this monitor coming out later this year, which is also HDR 600 and I don't think is too crazy to assume it's be a bit cheaper since it won't have the g sync module in it.
Thanks for this I was sitting here debating buying it from lg directly. If it's a few hundred cheaper I'll wait for that.
HDR 600 is still a deal breaker for me. The price is ridiculous for it not to be true HDR.
1499$ i bet.
@@thisisnotreallife20 it is still a 1ms 144hz ultrawide ips
The other problem is they have only been using 8 local dimming zones so the quality of the hdr isn't great either.
I've had the Acer XR382CQK for over a year and absolutely love it. No regrets. I love this size monitor and think it's the perfect physical size and resolution.
The only BFG I can afford is from DOOM
funny.
Don't give Bethesda ideas - the BFG will be DLC if we're not careful.
=)
But it costs 9000...
@@JMUDoc ID wouldn't let them do it, those guys probably already realised listening too much to Todd Howard means they'd have a "76" after they title lol
Love mine. No regrets spending what I paid for it and pairs nicely with the 3090. The LG software for configuring the led ring needs some updating but works decently.
I do miss the Phil peanut gallery. I'm sure we'll hear that laugh from behind the camera soon enough.
Excellent discussion. As someone who recently moved to a 32:9 monitor:
I find utilizing a 21:9 game window is far better for gaming.
however, the 49" diagonal of 32:9 displays I have found to be invaluable outside of gaming. Multi-tasking with voice comms open beside the game window, viewing resource monitor's, cross-referencing multiple PDF's, navigating various multiple MS Office applications; the ability to display multiple application across such a wide display cannot be beat. Regardless of the specs the hardware delivers.
Simply, I adore the 32:9 for what it does to workflows in addition (and outside of) how I use the monitor to game
Did I miss it or did you not actually talk about BFGD and LG c9 like you said you would?
I know this is an older video, but this monitor still hold up to new monitors and is currently on sale for $1000. That's $800 off of list. I could just not see myself happy with a 34 (I currently have two 1080p monitors). It has been time for a monitor upgrade and its go big or go home.
My issue with a oversize screen - there's too much real estate to scan. It's just too damn big. Having the same issue with a 43" screen on my CAD system at work.
Get DisplayFusion, it will let you organize windows into separate sections on your display (among many other things).
38" ultrawide is not oversize. It is like 30.5" screen extended on the sides. Vertical size causes issues with ergonomics, not horizontal. It is a perfect size. 43" 16:9 is not a desktop display, unless you are 3 meters tall and have two pairs of eyes.
Agreed...shit I went from a 24” to a 27” at a standard office cubical style desk and office chair setup, and i wouldn’t want any larger, I’d need to either wall mount, or get a much deeper desk if I went any larger.
Not gonna lie, upgrading to a 35" curved 3440x1440p 100 HZ Panel was the most impressive upgrade I ever done in terms of the "wow" effect. It doesn't get "normal" even after you've had it for a year, it stays a "wow" experience especially after you sat in front of a normal 16:9 24" and then go back to the 35" ultrawide.
Love your new space, looks amazing!
No, you look amazing!
AirportHobo no you look amazing
@@zuluwarrior7406 no you look amazing
I have one of those LG 34GK950F-B and so far i'm really happy with it. 😄
“Thank you to lg for allowing me to review this” 😂
I was in Micro Center the other day trying to decide what monitor I wanted to upgrade my 60hz Predator x34 with, and they had 10 of them in stock. When I went back the next day to pick one up (after doing a ton of research), there were only 8 left. So they sold THREE of these in one weekend. What sealed the deal for me was that they're the only company making a 38" wide-screen gaming monitor as of this posting. I will be using this while working from home and for gaming, and the 38" gives you the same height as a standard 27" monitor. So it's truly the best of both worlds. Of course the gaming features are nice for the weekends.
Waiting for the LG CX 48" Gsync OLED review for desktop use
The Curious Noob It will be amazing. I use a C9 55 inch on my desk.
I went from a tn 24 inch 144hz and EVERYTHING is better. Motion blur and ghosting is nonexistent. Colour is amazing.
I was afraid that the dpi would be to low for me. I sit 60-80 cm (2 - 2 1/2 feet) from the tv. But the pixel substructure is a lot better then my old TN so even though the dpi is lower the perceived resolution is higher.
Regarding 48 vs 55 inch
My C9 pulls dual duty, I live alone in my small apartment. 48 would be to small for watching movies. But 55 inches is not to big for gaming. Though using word or cad full screen can get quite overwhelming.
@@arvidjohansson3120 Can your C9 operate at per pixel resolution? I'm considering getting one and was wondering if I could run it as a 21:9 3840 x 1600 ultrawide with black bars on the top and bottom.
Shootin' Bruin I have never tried that. Can test it out when I return to my university apartment the next time.
@@arvidjohansson3120 I would appreciate it very much. Thank you!
@@arvidjohansson3120 i have the c9 too. But it gives me eye strain. Im so sad cus i love that display but i have to return it because it kills my eyes.
I run 2x LG 34GK950F-B and absolutely love it. The HDR I only turn on when watching videos or playing super cinematic games like Doom etc. But overall I went from a 200hz monitor and notice no FPS difference in my gameplay, which probably means im just not good enough to use that extra refresh lol. But 900 dollars is very well spent in my opinion. Very adjustable and works great. The monitor is for sure toasty in summer.
Cameron Ivanbeckandorfin have the same display, absolutely excellent monitor!
i remember when i first bought my 1080p 1ms 144hz benq monitor, it hurt my eyes for a bit lol. i used to game on a small square 60hz panel for years.
Thanks for this video, Jay. Here in the Netherlands the lowest price for this beast is even higher ( € 2110 which is today $ 2308 ), I have the Asus PG348Q and Ireally wanted to switch to this monitor, but your last remarks really pushed this out of my head (13:05 No use switching if you already have a 34"). Keep up the good work and stay inside!
It is worth noting sales tax is never included in quoted US prices. I believe that lines up quite well if you factor in VAT.
Jay: I really miss him making fun of me.
Me: I miss Phil laughing.
This was the review I needed. Thanks. Down to 1k on Black Friday, so at that price, I'm good with the stated compromises for my mostly productivity and content creation/ consumption use cases. Thank you, Jay. Happy Thanksgiving!
Yep, same here, under 1000 now and i just bought it for home, it replaces my 27'' LG panel,
Jay, you got a badass setup. Good work on the game room.
I got this one in December of 2019 and I connected it to a 2080Ti. I was a bit apprehensive about the purchase, because: THE PRICE, but the reseller offered me a 90 day return window, no questions asked, so I figured out I'll give it a shot. It took me about a week to absolutely fall in love with it.
Now, after 6 months, I continue to use it as my main gaming monitor, and I hope to continue to enjoy it for years to come. My calculation is that the original $1,800 price divided by 6 years of use amounts to about $300 per year. If I settled for something lesser, I would be probably spending that much, if not more, on a yearly basis to incrementally up the monitor(s) on my gaming rig to enjoy the gaming experience, and none of the intermittent panels would likely come close to the quality and experience of the LG.
Yes, it's a Ferrari! In 6 years time it will be, well, a six year old car, but guess what? It'll still be a Ferrari.
Back to my games now!
How many fps u get in games?and what games u play?
Jayz showing off the monitor and I'm like: "well thid id a pretty good monitor, sir"...
But then he tell the price and I go to: "oh, ok... Not so good."
Mine is coming in a few days. Can't wait. I'm upgrading to from, get this...a 22" 1680x1050 NEC 59hz. Might notice a difference
I've been playing on a cheap LCD monitor I bought at a garage sale for 30$ 10 years ago. I've got my ducks in order, have worked hard and I've some spending money saved. I think I will make the jump on the freesync version of this monitor- the LG 38GN950 and then I'll get either get the 3080ti or Big Navi, depending on performance/price in September.
BFGD means you would have to sit so far back! I think the ultrawide is great Jay!
LG 38WN95C-W when it comes out. "Only" 144 Hz, but HDR 600.
Plus Thunderbolt 3, so it can also charge your laptop when plugged in.
Well, you missed a thing, Jay. You can overclock the monitor to 160 Hertz without using Chroma Subsampling. I purchased this monitor last month and 160 Hertz in conjunction with G-sync and 3840x1600 is absolutely amazing. I would not want to miss this monitor anymore.
Not gonna lie, but i think 144 or even 120 is still the better choice, because you dont javr to Deal with any problems with overclocking (rly rare but somrtimes it's weird).
Also you probably, dont notice a difference especially between 144 and 160hz.
Not talking about the fact that 160fps is rly hard to Push and substain.
Drops would feel a bit better on 144 vs 160 hz
@Zwenk Wiel ive tested a 240hz compared to my 144hz and i noticed a slight difference, but only in csgo. Nothing Else. The game has to be opted for 240hz
Just bought the lg 34 nano 1 Ms refresh 21:9 .it is the ultimate model the price after everything was 1322.99 . I love it ,from my old x35p predator panel .it is also nice that it will overclock to 189hz and it is not blindingly bright .
I just wish Starcraft 2 would allow 21:9 in custom games / single player campaign. :( It won't even let me use 1440 as the height with mine.
I bought this monitor for productivity (and gaming). I toggle between my work issued laptop and my gaming rig and it's absolutely the best monitor for this purpose.
(Great review @jay -- it's price is def not for the faint of heart)
We're the Army Jay, not the Navy; in 22 years as an armor officer, I've never heard the driver's view ports referred to as a "periscope".
1. No one cares
2. It's not serious, it's a joke
3. Bye
Hey now don’t be too hard on him
*He likes boats!*
Regardless of the monitor you decided to purchase/use..I love how you mounted the monitor with all the cables hidden and the clean back lighting.
Jay: Its very expensive
Me: Well it can't be that bad of a price
Jay: $1799.00
Me: lets see (1799 to T&T currency)=
$12,233.05..
Im too poor for that.
This monitor was selling on Amazon LG for $1,599 for a few hrs before prices went back up to $1,899. It was a pre-order for their June 25 re-stock. I almost bought it, but I'll wait for their Freesync LG 38GN950 instead. Hoping for a $1,200-$1,400 price range.
I have had the C7 for over 3 years. I'm going to get the CX as soon as it comes out.
me too.. on black friday.. because I'm a bit cheapass
@@nheme87 thats not cheap just more of a deal man
@@nheme87 yeah I doubt there will be any discounts on it that soon. Maybe they'll throw in something else but not a discount.
And my only gripe with my c7 is the motion interpolation sucks on high speed small things like planes and birds in the sky. But that's just a weak processor and the new ones can fix that with a better cpu.
Bryant A see I’m in the market for a new display for upcoming consoles and graphics cards and have been eyeing the lg oleds but I’m super scared of burn in because I game for long hours daily
When I first watched this video I didn't have this panel. However, I did know that I wanted it. I now have it and haven't regretted it at all. This will go nicely with the 3090 that you said I should wait before buying.
Hey Jay!!!
Can ya plz explain how you managed the wiring stuff in your Gaming Setup
In his video's he showed it.
False wall?
I just ordered this panel. I’m not concerned with HDR, and like the combination of larger widescreen and very quick response time & refresh rate.
This thing has WebOs? I remember my old Palm Pre running WebOs, best smarthphone operating system I've used to date.
LG bought it off of HP when HP's short-term CEO canceled Palm's products. LG made it the basis of their smart TVs. I'm with you, I LOVED WebOS. I loved the experience. It was so much better than iOS at the time.
@@klfjoat Yeah, I remember when the Pre2 was supposed to be coming to the US, then the Pre3 from HP. I never got any of the updates but mt original Pre is still sitting in the closet, and still works (sort of).
Yeah the user experience was awesome, I still think the card and swiping/gesture controls features haven't been matched to this day. Also, overclocking was a thing on those haha. I can imagine the LG stuff takes advantage of the true benefits of WebOs, but I haven't ever actually used it on LG.
The tv webos is nothing like the phone was though. I still have my palm pre in a drawer. I loved it
I bought the c9 2 months ago and its one of the best purchases ive ever made
Same, The picture still blows me away everytime I use it.

If you look at the outline of your sight, it is more consistent with the shape of the eye socket, and the visual area of the eye.

Jay hit the nail on the head with the Periscope effect and I've never wanted an ultra wide because of it. Sizing anything between 24-32 inch should be 1440p & over 32 inch needs to be 4k. I personally find 27 inch 1440p the sweet spot for PC gaming
"If you just want the biggest ultrawide you can get, this is it."
Me: laughs in 49" 32:9 super ultrawide..
"This 38" is the biggest ultrawide you can buy."
Samsung CRG9: "Uh, wat?"
If you wanna be technical, thats a super ultrawide. 32:9
Ultrawide is 21:9 aspect ratio and only that. 32:9 is a different category.
That is not being made anymore once its gone it's gone, check out the odessy g9 omg
You've never heard of Super Ultrawide??? 😂
Different panels worth looking at: Wasabi Mango UHD 490. It's a 49 inch IPS 4K monitor that does 120hz, I have one of them and popped the rear off. It's using LG panels/components, one of them labelled 'LG Display SW0876'.
14:44 official wacommendation?
😅😅😅😅
Chromatic aberrations happen because of the 4:2:2 color space, not because of the higher refresh rate, not because of the 8bit color depth. The sweet spot here is 120Hz with 10bit and RGB 4:4:4.
That monitor costs more than my and my sons computers combined.
😭 You should upgrade.
I'm not sure what an overpriced monitor has to do with upgrading my computers...
@@dustintinsley3899 Sounds like he is somehow implying that your PC's must be trash? Not sure why, a $900 PC right now is pretty damn capable. R5 3600 and RX 5700XT could fill that system, and that's a great setup.
@@dustintinsley3899 300$ pc?
Check out LG 34GL850 instead of 950F ( which had huge quality problems with quality control )
That Monitor isn't 3440x1600, it's 3840x1600
He also suggests it's a 21:10 monitor, which it's not
I recently upgraded to an LG CX77 coming from the HP 65" BFGD. While the BFGDs are more expensive and have VA panels, they work flawlessly; hooked up to a PC or streaming over the network, superior gaming experience with GSync.
The picture quality is better on my LG CX but GameStream is worse for the time being as GSync isn't supported on the Shield Pro. Plugging my desktop to the LG wasn't any better due to the older HDMI 2.0 ports on my 1080ti. Once a new HDMI 2.1 Shield is released and RTX 3000 cards are out I expect the situation to change. Something to consider if you can find a BFGD on sale or are worried about OLED burn in.
Again a highschool student who couldn't afford shit is daydreaming about his future set up.
Hi 5 bro
Stay in school my friend, get a good education, land a badass job and this setup will be yours one day.
I've been there my guy. Listen to Matthew
38GL950G - wanted it since February of last year. Picked it up as soon as it was available in USA. If the C9 came in this format, it would be a no brainer, but the C9 was too big for a desktop monitor.
i just want a VR headset that can replace the monitor entirely...
Only if it allows you to view three monitors for secondary and tertiary tasks while being able to watch the TVs in the back of the room while allowing for me to see the room. VR to me is like going back in time in the 80s when I had only one TV and a Nintendo. I can't do that anymore, it's so depressing.
Only been a Sub for about 2yrs but I find these more "intimate Jay talking with/to us at his desk" more informative and enjoyable. It depends on the You-tuber of course but Jay has a way of presenting/talking that makes it seem like I am having a chat with a friend of mine. Albeit... a friend who is much more technically advanced then myself but still explains things... gives opinions, etc... that I can personally relate to.
I. Want. That. Monitor. (but it’s probably expensive:-( ) edit: I was very right..
This is why the 38wn95c is the better model imo. You get 10 bit color 120 hz, 144hz 8bit color, and hdr 600. The GL model here only has hdr 400 and 8 bit color. The only downside is the WN model is gsync compatible not native gsync, but not a big deal especially if you have the hardware to run games at high frame rates. I agree it's hard to spot the difference between 144hz and 120 UNLESS it's a fast paced shooter like overwatch or doom eternal, then it becomes quite noticible. So for competitive and fast paced shooters I will use 144hz and use 10 bit color 120hz for most other games. That 10 bit color will also give you a much better hdr experience.
I got over 10 minutes into this video and realized he said literally 2 sentences about the BFGD that he replaced with a C9 and just talked about his computer monitor the rest of the time? Why not just title the video that?
Really expensive but at the same time i think this monitor will last you many many years. IPS, 175Hz, G-Sync Module, 1ms GtG. Really incredible specs. Even if they launch a higher refreshrate version in 1 year, you have to be able to drive it as well. With this monitor you need to hit 175 fps and that is currently not possible in most games with 2080Ti. And HDR is not that important i feel, if you want HDR1000 you usually need higher contrast and that means VA panels. And also sitting close to a HDR1000 monitor is crazy bright and tiring for the eyes. So yeah, expensive but this one is going to last for a long time i expect! (yes i have one ordered)
"It'll be an interesting perspective" = I'm not getting paid to say nice things?
That’s what that means to you eh? Guess we know who would sell out
@@Jayztwocents looking at a new monitor, I just don't understand the 21:9 ultra wide phase. Is it more taxing on your graphics vs regular 16:9?
@Wingnutt 1 depends how you look at it, i think you're pushing less pixels because you lose the vertical height of the panel. Let's say it's a 16:9 1080p panel it's now 1920x800p instead of 1920x1080p.
@@neondemon5137 That is incorrect. The vertical pixels stay the same and more pixels get push horizontally. So instead of 1920x1080 it is 2560X1080.
JayzTwoCents not what I meant. Posed as a question. It was a curious turn of phrase. "LG didn't send me this, I bought it myself, so that'll be an interesting perspective." How does the perspective change based on how you acquired it? Sincere question.
Fan on top is a big no no for any monitor..
I swear that's just a horrible idea. My monitors always end up full of dust and i gotta open them and clean them every 1 or 2 years. The monitors that have holes on the side and top (but covered up) rarely get ANY dust in them. I don't know why everyone keeps adding holes on top.
Your title has a redundancy. “BFGD” (Big Format Gaming Display)... Display. Delete the extra display please.
Well, it is April 1st, so could be because of that they did it
Dncmaster that is the lamest non-joke ever. Like what’s the punchline?
Your comment has an opening parenthesis and no closing parenthesis. Speck, meet log.
James Fuston I fixed it, unlike Jay.
Panels are so expensive now a days, but at least the 1440p @144hz spec is comming down in price.
Dear Philip, thank you for your editing, please make roast responses via email or Skype to Jay so he feels loved.
I just bought an acer XV340CK ultrawide XVO NITRO series at Microcenter on sale for 379 this panel is absolutely amazing. Has a 1 millisecond response time native refresh rate of 144 Hertz and it's an IPS panel. I settled for this panel not realizing what it was until I got it home. what a lucky day for me. I own the HP Omen x 65 emperium and it's very hard to play first person shooters on the monitor even though it's doable and looks beautiful I use it for more immersive gameplay like Elite dangerous.
Thanks for the review on it. I paid $850 for my Alienware AW3420DW, not sure this is worth ~$1000 more imo
Wish the alienware was still 850 only seen for $1000 or more in the us as of today
I needed to replace my 10+ year old TN panel and was going to get the 27GL650 but in the end decided cos I'll run it for so long I went for the 27GL850, great monitor happy I got it
38” screens are nice. We have an office full of the Z38c monitors at my work. Would recommend.
If I turn on HDR on windows it looks like my screen on a very warm setting, not pleasant either. But if you enable when playing say, the RE2 remake, it makes the game feel so immersive on top of looking realistic.
Ultrawides were originally designed to display radiology images and mounted vertically. (Portrait) LG actually uses them in their MRI's. The panels are so expensive because if they weren't maintenance engineers would use the gaming monitors to replace the $20k panels in the MRI. I have actually seen a 17" CRT at the VA using the LG as a stand because the VA didnt have the money to pay for the right monitor....all on a $500k MRI.
Glad to see you are making the most of the "human malware" situation and doing well. Stay safe!
i love how phil adjusted the tv model number to match the depth of field of the desktop background
@Jayz, you HAVE TO Check out the LG 34GN850! It is literally the same Panel like the 38GL950 youre showing here, just a little smaller and a lot cheaper!
im really glad you talked about the narrow factor of super ultrawide its still true for the 49 inch ones they need to be a few inches taller
I wanted to do this monitor.. but went with the LG B9 55" for a monitor instead. can't look back, OLEDs are so pretty. and GSYNC!
To everyone reading this, the LG 38WN95C-W is coming out this year. It's basically the same panel with FreeSync 2, no ring lights, and HDR 600, so you're saving that $400 Nvidia tax and the RGB premium. It's also got Thunderbolt 3, which will allow you to switch from your desktop to a compatible laptop in a breeze.
I’m currently running the MSI MAG341CQ 3440x1440 ultrawide monitor. It’s a VA panel I believe 5ms response time or 8 either way zero ghosting. 100Hz freesync and I’ve been told by other users that it is compatible with gsync.
I think it’s a beautiful display as do other people I’ve talked to that own it and for $375 not a bad deal at all.
Ya, I just got a new monitor. I thought about this monitor. I ended up getting the Samsung CRG9. It went on sale for like $1255. Great video!
What did you think of the CRG9?
Delirium Skill I love it! Gaming is amazing. And for multitasking, video/picture editing, it’s incredible!!!
i noticed you have a focusrite sound card....my respect for you increased exponentially ;-)
I wish more people would try ultrawide displays. I picked up the Alienware AW3420DW deal for Black Friday and even after this short amount of time I can't imagine ever going back to a 16:9 monitor. It's so incredibly nice for games. The word "immersive" is extremely overused, but it really does pull you in the game more having the world in your peripheral vision and so much wider.
i'd love a review of LG"s new monitor the 38GN950 and the Dell Alienware 3821dw
CRG9 for the win, 49” is almost perfect, could be a bit higher and just a bit wider to cover the whole field of view, preferring anything less is just inertia of thinking or personal limitations like stiff neck or far-sighted and haven’t heard about glasses
I have this monitor. Honestly coming from a 6 year old HP ZR30W, this monitor blows it away in every way. Seriously one of the best monitors I've ever personally gamed on. The ONLY thing I wish it had was better HDR performance, but honestly I'm not concerned with that. Games look gorgeous.
I bought my LG because of your videos. Fun fact, while I was at TwitchCon it literally tried to light itself on fire in the bottom left hand corner. Then LG's warranty department were a pain so I said fuck it, bit the bullet on $1,200 and bought a sub $400 1080p Acer monitor from Best Buy. I was actually STILL paying for the first monitor after it had died but couldn't be assed to navigate RMA or the fact I couldn't get a hold of a human being. Ultimately I KNEW this would just lead to me wasting money on shipping only to be told "You somehow magically violated the warranty" Reminder that I was away for 4 days. Yes it was on but in sleep mode. I'll NEVER buy LG again or ANY "high end" ultrawide monitor for that matter. Fuck it, I'd rather eat it on $400 & lose half my viewing than $1,200 & lose it all.
If you're going to turn HDR off and not have it run at full 144Hz you can get last year's 38" curved panel which is a 75Hz (yeah, not great) monitor sold by LG, Asus, Acer, and Dell (probably more as well) for like half the price.
