Joe Doe –
The monitor costs a ton but fulfilled a couple purposes for me. First, i wanted to stop using two 27″ monitors side by side. The bezels and size of my old setup meant i felt like i was always searching to find stuff and turning my head a ton. Sounds weird, but turning my head to find something just annoyed me completely. Second, I wanted to be able to play games from my windows machine but do work with a macbook and get that single cable connection with thunderbolt 3.
The good parts here are that the monitor solved my two main issues perfectly. Games look great in ultra-wide mode and my 2018 mbp gets full power supplied with a single cable. Oh, and the TB3 connection totally supports 144hz at full resolution. It’s … fantastic.
The bad parts here are relatively minor but still annoying. First, when using TB3, my mac defaults to using the monitor speakers. I output those speakers to my desktop speaker set and that’s cool. However, i can no longer control volume with my keyboard media controls and that’s SUPER annoying. I have to change volume in specific apps (spotify, browser, whatever). My windows box sends audio through hdmi and this setup also lets it share speakers through the monitor, so that is still nice. The second annoying part is simply the amount of USB A ports. There should be at least two more and anybody like me is going to find this super annoying, too.
I don’t really care about the lack of PIP with TB3 and display port, but I could see how that would annoy people, too.
Final gripe is the height adjustment and size of the base. The base is super deep and (even with a deep desk) causes my keyboard to be right at the edge of my desk if i want to use my laptop screen at the same time. Raising the monitor all the way is still too low to not block the bottom edge of the screen. I ended up taking some scrap wood and building a monitor riser to give me some more adjustability in the height of the monitor and that makes it better. Still too deep… I need to cut a notch out of my stand to let my laptop be a little deeper on my desk.
[update 10/19/2021]
Been using this thing for 6 months or so. Still love it.
I started using a free utility called monitor control to control monitor brightness & volume with mac media keys. Big issues are fixed for me.
I use EasyRes to set resolution and refresh rate but it doesn’t maintain 144 across mac reboots. It always drops to 75hz. Annoying, but… meh.
I’ve noticed that I despise the power button. It’s not reliable at all and the menus are slow to display. You end up with a ton of double presses or misplaced selections. Not a deal breaker for me since I don’t switch inputs a ton, but you might…
I’d recommend it to anybody. I love this size for development and gaming.
[update 5/09/2023]
2+ year update. I am still enjoying this monitor immensely.
Some MacOS updates solved the problems with resolutions swapping to defaults when I plug in so I no longer use EasyRes. Same deal w/sticking @ 144hz. Now it just works.
New Complaints:
I’ve had some number < 10 instances where something goes wonky with the connection. The monitor gets a weird "screen door effect" that requires me to disconnect and run a test pattern to un-stick pixels. The button is still the worst part here. Does anybody think a button shouldn't work if there aren't any computers plugged in? Not me... It doesn't. Weird and annoying. Sometimes the OSD will auto hide even though things are plugged in. Super annoying. New Things: LG has released a new monitor that is 42" ultrawide. I think that might be the true sweet spot in ultrawide size. I'd love just a little more screen real estate. Too bad the resolution & refresh rate suck compared to this one. I've been testing out using multiple outputs from one machine w/PIP for work. It's pretty cool to have mid-panel snap zones. It can be annoying if you have a 3+ panes of code to view and can't expand past half-way... Try it out. I've also had a second machine attached via PIP & used logitech options to share mouse/keyboard. Pretty great, but not perfect. I wish this thing shared my peripherals better.
Joe Doe –
I returned the first monitor and have had my replacement for about 11 months now. I’m happy to report that there have been no further issues with dead pixels.
After almost a year of use, I think I’ve gotten used to all the quirks with the monitor. I am still extremely annoyed by the fact that the monitor continues to prompt me over and over about switching to the Thunderbolt when I am using a different input. For whatever reason, this never seems to happen when I am using another device on HDMI–it seems to be isolated to when using DisplayPort only. I check pretty regularly for firmware updates with hopes that LG will release an update to disable those annoying prompts, but I continue to be disappointed.
Otherwise, I’m still happy with the monitor. I updated the review to 3 stars accordingly. If LG gives me the ability to disable those prompts, I would give it another star. It would still be a stretch for more than that, however.

UPDATE 1/27/2021:
After using this beast of a monitor for about a month, a row of pixels finally gave out. Just over half-way up the screen, the complete row of pixels died. It looks like a short strip (maybe 3-4mm) of vertical pixels appears to have gone bad as well. Those pixels intersect the row of dead pixels in the left-middle of the screen.
While I have some tolerance for flaws, it seems there are a number of other people in these reviews that are having quality control issues with this monitor. Considering the price point is so high, it’s disappointing to see such a common theme. Fortunately, Amazon is replacing the item for me; however, with such limited stock levels, it looks like I won’t be getting the replacement for at least another 2-3 weeks.

I really do like the monitor. Some things I really enjoy:
– The size is amazing for productivity. I was concerned about going down to a single monitor, but at 3840×1600, that is not an issue AT ALL!
– It is THIN! Some people have commented on the build quality, but mine was perfect out of the box. The power brick is a bit massive, but I’ve managed to tuck it up and away underneath the desk.
– The color is AMAZING! The first time I launched some of my regular games, I was blown away by how crisp and colorful everything looked on the screen. I have definitely been missing out.
And, on the negative side, there are some really awful features in this monitor. Like, some of them are so bad that whoever allowed them to be included should have had at least a minuscule of forethought that it was a bad idea. Here’s my list:
– The monitor has multiple video inputs (1x Thunderbolt, 1x DisplayPort, 2x HDMI). If Thunderbolt is connected and you are on a different input, say DisplayPort, the monitor likes to inform you randomly that Thunderbolt is connected with a prompt asking if you want to switch inputs. Then you have to go play with the switch, move it over to NO, and give it a click. A few minutes pass, “HEY, DO YOU WANT TO CHANGE INPUTS TO THUNDERBOLT?” No, LG. I don’t. It’s really annoying, and there is no option to disable that prompting. Kind of silly that a monitor with multiple inputs keeps trying to strong-arm me into switching over to Thunderbolt.
– The brightness is insane, to the point of being too bright.
– Picture-by-Picture does not work when you are using a Thunderbolt input. You can only do PBP with HDMI/HDMI and HDMI/DisplayPort. I think you’ll grow away from using it since there is so much screen real estate, but… it’s annoying if that’s something you were planning to use.
– Last… this monitor is $1600. The speakers are pretty rough. It needs an optical out in addition to the analog audio output.
Overall, no regrets with the purchase. If they could do a firmware update to get rid of that annoying prompt to change input to Thunderbolt, then this would be an easy 5 stars. Til then, I’ll continue to complain about it. It was a very clear project management fail, and they should remedy that at some point in the near ish future.
Joe Doe –
The monitor was so good that it was impossible to get it in HK, so I had to order it from this seller.
It’s beautiful and very solid. Has built it high quality speakers as well. LG doesn’t disappoint.
Joe Doe –
The picture quality is excellent. When this monitor works, it works very well. There is plenty of screen real estate. It is not Retina/HiDPI but it still looks fairly sharp.
Now there are a some drawbacks.
– I use a Macbook Pro (M1) through a single Thunderbolt connection. My laptop lid is closed (clamshell mode). When the laptop goes into deep sleep (let’s say 30 minutes or even overnight), trying to get the monitor to turn on and display an image is an exercise. You click the keyboard, the monitor backlight turns on, then it turns back off again. No image. Have to unplug and replug the monitor. Do this multiple times a day and it is the most infuriating experience.
– Uses a large powerbrick instead of just having it built into the display. I guess LG wants the monitor to look thinner but honestly, I’d rather just not deal with a power brick.
– The USB ports are slow to charge your phone or anything like that.
In the end I decided to return this monitor because of the wake from sleep issue, which in my opinion is a real defect and does not seem to happen with other monitors which work just fine.
Joe Doe –
I got this monitor a few month back and can’t be happier. Important disclosure: I don’t play games and I know this is supposedly a gaming monitor. I use it exclusively for writing code and all related activities as well as general browsing. The monitor is connected by 15 ft fiber optic cable from RUIPRO to 3090 GPU. (Before someone ask why I need 3090, it’s for ML tasks and I actually have several of them). It runs at 144 Hz with native resolution of 3840×1600. The fiber optic cable is expensive but I tried all kinds of copper cables and they just do not work reliably at this distance/resolution. Right next to this monitor I have Acer Predator X38 Pbmiphzx, used for the same purpose. I know that Acer is quite a bit more expensive, but setting aside a fact that it supposedly comes pre-calibrated I like the LG one more, in both in picture quality and the fact that is has much smaller stand and space is at premium on my desk as I have tree 38″ monitors on it.
Joe Doe –
After some setup, this monitor is working very well with an M1 macbook air (install LG drivers and software, then in Displays, set color mode to Apple RGB, & then you can get the 144hz refresh rate working over thunderbolt) and with a PC gaming laptop as well, as well as an older Intel Mac over HDMI. Unfortunately, after less than three months, the panel failed (dead thin horizontal line across the entire display) and LG support insisted on having it shipped to them for repair rather than replacing it even though it makes no sense to replace an entire panel. Fortunately Amazon came through with a refund, and I am in fact ordering a new one as a replacement because it’s the best option I’ve found, but otherwise I would be stuck without a monitor for weeks.
Joe Doe –
If you are in market for monitor that you can use for both gaming on Windows and work on Mac(looking at you software engineer folks), you are in right place.
Productivity? Best in market. The biggest difference between this and 4k is that you can use this monitor @ native scaling, whereas typical 4k @ 32″ monitor needs 125% scaling minimum. This allows you to have so many pages up which is incredible for productivity boost. Also, one cable solution for Mac with TB3 port.
Gaming, this is only second best to OLED. 144hz, gsync, decent speakers, ultrawide immersion. This has it all, except it is not OLED. Such a bummer that there is no 38″ OLED in market atm.
I got this used for $760 which was absolute steal. I’d happily buy it again even at full price.
Joe Doe –
First, I did a lot of research before pulling the trigger on this one. It has USB-C (thunderbolt 3), 4K resolution, a good height adjustable stand and is wide without being unwieldy.
I have been using this monitor for a few months now and I really like it. Great color, resolution and simple menu button (joystick). Actually I have never had to use the monitor menu… another bonus, it just works!
There were three reasons I wanted an ultra-wide monitor…
One is for flight simulators (XPlane 11 and MS Flight Simulator 2020). I have a more immersive experience and can see more of the cockpit without using multiple monitors. Works very well with both these apps (I have a high end PC with GeForce RTX 2080 video card).
The second reason is for remoting into work. I used to have to maximize my VPN window to do any work on the remote computer, then minimize it to do anything on my home computer. Now, I can see all at once! Its just like the remote computer is a full 27″ wide screen monitor – that only takes up part of my huge 38″ LG. Its just great.
The third reason is as a monitor for my MacBook Pro. The MacBook is a great laptop, but for coding at home I want a much larger screen. The LG 38WN95C works seamlessly with my MacBook Pro. I use the wireless keyboard and mouse from my old iMac and just shut the MacBook and go to work on the big screen! Note: the trick is to keep the MacBook plugged in while using this setup. That way it does not go to sleep when you close the cover!
If you want a nice ultra wide monitor I recommend this one.

I mounted this monitor on a HumanScale monitor arm to my 72″ standing desk, for reference. Others have commented the the construction of this monitor (the heavy use of plastics & the 4 corners of the screen bezel pulling away) is shoddy, and that the monitor wobbles. I can say with confidence that with a quality monitor arm holding the monitor securely in place, and with normal desk use (organized desk space, not slamming or shuffling things around), the monitor stays in place quite well. The construction and materials are perfectly sufficient for a screen that you look straight at. Other monitors have sturdier builds with perhaps higher quality/heavier materials, but I actually appreciate the plastic approach as it keeps this monitor light, and able to be easily mounted with ease. The aesthetic is perfect for my build, and gaming is a luxurious experience. It seems LG identified every important aspect of technology that all monitors on the market currently have, important to both gamers and productivity/content creators, and combined them into one package. If you want to purchase a monitor and just not worry about every little techie detail that marketers cling to, that you could easily get hung up on, just buy this thing and connect it to your PC. It’s a solid buy, packed with performance, and I think a very good value despite it’s high price tag.
