When the 3840 x 1600 OLEDs start appearing, then you have my attention. Does look nice tho. Best multipurpose aspect ratio with driving games being reasonably good (32:9 is where it’s at for assetto)
Yep 1440P with its relatively low DPI and its stupidly aggressive curve are deal breakers for me, probably could have lived with one or the other but not two annoyances on an expensive display.
I bought the 34", and while it looked amazing, it just felt a little too small so I exchanged it for the 39. I always worried about PPI as the internet is full of views, but until you have one you quickly realise it's not an issue. I sit 80 cms away, office work during the day and gaming at night - both scenarios are fine. The 39" is more immersive than the 34 and for me, it was a far better overall experience
I bought the alienware 34dwf first, loved it. But then i got curious about the 39in LG, so i went to best buy and bought that too lol. Honestly i do see the PPI issue, but it's clear enough for me to read. Matte vs glossy, I'd say this matte is not as bad as others, not so aggressive but i love both monitors and will be keeping both.
Sick review! Was waiting for this. Are you going to review the Asus version of this monitor when it comes out? I saw you did the 34" version a while back.
I think as you say the resolution/pixel density is too low,. I also find it too expensive as LG UG45 are actually cheaper at less than $1000. My advice would be to stick with 34 OLEDs until the higher res OLEDS versions come out...likely end of 2025.
Thanks for sharing 🔥 the 45 is definitely incredible at immersive gaming, but the 3440 x 1440 on a 45 made the PPI worse 😭 so I know you noticed an improvement
Do you know if this monitor behaves in the same way as the 45" one, dimming on different occasions? Like when you change from one window to another and things like that? I had the 45" one and honestly I changed it for the simple fact that the brightness It went down on certain occasions and there was no way to deactivate that function! Do you know if this model does the same?
I run a 38gn950 which you commented on when talkin about resolution. As much as I'd like to upgrade to OLED, I just don't want to sacrifice the vertical resolution. Its got a really bright 730 nits NanoIPS panel too so its by no means a cheap panel.
Great video! I'm thinking to buy it for using it with Macbook Pro M3 Pro for productivity and for my Xbox Series X at 4K @120Hz (I know it downscales resolutions, but if it worked with your PS5, should works fine with XSX) here in Mexico I have see it at 849 USD. I'm also thinking if would be a good idea for a Asus ROG Strix G16 Laptop with i9 and 4060 (with Displayport, at QHD resolution, laptop closed). Hope you can share your thoughts. See ya!

Hi @firewolftech! I’m in desperate need of your help on something with this monitor. I’m unable to select 10-bit color over hdmi - only when using DP with DSC, or if I I go down to 144hz on hdmi. I’m using a 4080 and have tried multiple cables. Am I missing something here, or is this monitor not capable of selecting 240hz 10-bit over in NVidia control panel? Lg support has been no help in this matter and I’m trying to figure out if my unit is defective. PLEASE HELP! Update: I noticed that NVCP panel will keep crashing or show a blank box for color depth after changing to 240hz. But interestingly, I noticed that I use “default color settings”, it defaults to 10-bit in windows. Does this mean that I’m in “limited” color range now? I’m also wondering if this is an issue with compatibility in NVCP panel. I got warning messages that my monitor was in unsupported 2160p, and games would close to windows shortly after. This maybe worth additional commentary for your review if you have similar findings. Looking forward to any advice :)
For me, PPI is important since the higher the number, the more detailed and sharp it looks. It doesn’t play a huge role in gaming, but in everything else, PPI is noticeable. For example, let’s say you’ve been using a 32-inch 4K monitor (138 PPI) for a while and you replace it with this 39” 3440 x 1440 (96 PPI). The difference is pretty huge between the two, and you might be immediately turned off since you’ve been accustomed to a higher pixel density.
@FIREWOLFTECH Right now, I'm gaming on my 65 s95c samsung, but I sit far back. I just purchased the 45 lg ultragear. Hopefully, it is not a turn-off once I start playing on it.
Hey bro, do u think this is worth upgrading from my 38 inch 1600p LG? I’m eager to move to oled. I have a 4080 pc and I’m pretty much maxing out 1600p 144hz so 240hz 1440p wouldn’t be a problem. Only thing I’m worried about is the PPI + text clarity for productivity.
That’s a tough one, the PPI + Text Clarity is going to be worse, especially when it’s 3440 x 1440 vs 3840 x 1600. Eventually you’ll adjust, and at that point it’s up to you if you think it’s good enough. I feel like a 49-inch OLED monitor would be better because it would be 5120x1440 😅
That's a huge and heavy monitor 😅 I actually had the 2nd gen a few months back, but the size and weight was too much for me to really give a good review. The dial and having multiple inputs is a huge selling point, but at the time I didn't have a way to really use it and didn't feel I could give a good review
How do you change the rgb on the back of the monitor? I have the same monitor and its turned off and idk how to turn it on. Please and thanks if anyone gives me an answer
new oleds dont need refresh after 4 hours - its best to do it every day after finishing with the monitor. No need to stop what youre doing to refresh the screen.
The Alienware for visual gaming because its 4k, high ppi, and QD-OLED. This LG is not 4k, low-ppi, and using W-OLED. QD has slightly better color, W-OLED has better black.
@@FIREWOLFTECH I'm coming from a 27" 14hz TN panel, very simple. The LG 39" looks impressive, and not just the display but the whole thing. Also, i Have a 4080 so i don't think i'll be reaching the 344 FPS that the alienware can offer. Leaning towards the LG for now.
Thanks for skipping over the PBP/PIP, it was the one info I hoped to find somewhere as I could not find it on official specs for some reason. What options are there if any?
Sorry ! I usually include PBP/PIP but since I already did the 34-inch review, I skipped that. Here's the link for the 34 version : ruclips.net/video/DbRwUGeFv9Q/видео.htmlsi=ppUJpr8Qzl1av59N&t=624 it should start at 10:24 where I briefly cover PBP. There is PIP as well.
Still on 38" LG IPS Ultrawide gaming screen with 3840x1600, dont know how long its gonna take, when they start to make 38-45" oleds with 1600p vertical space. Will it ever happen?
I remember my experience with the LG 45GR and it was awesome for gaming. But with the same 3440 x 1440, the PPI is even worse than the 39 🥲 The new 45 is on my list for future review
@@FIREWOLFTECH the ppi should be fine for just gaming. Lg is releasing 5k2k 45” next year but that would be too hard to push for my 3080. It would be sufficient for years but it’s hard to wait lol. Do you think 5k2k would be much better for gaming? Idk
Yes gaming is perfect and allows for more performance and frames out of your GPU. Higher resolution would look nice but it really depends on your GPU. We'll see what next gen GPU's bring to the table
@@balotellitubbies5997 have you ever tried dsr? It lets you play at higher resolutions on a lower res monitor. I'm getting this 39 inch because my philosophy is that nothing right now can run 5k ultra wide at 120+ framerstes, and I doubt the 5090 will be that much of a jump. So for games that actually can run 5k ultra wide rn like doom, I'll just use dsr
I really appreciate this comment 🔥♥️ doing larger oled TVs would be awesome. I’ve done 42-inch TVs like the C3 and A90K, just need a bigger space to be able to do larger TVs. One day 🔥
you also shouldn't notice any fuzzy or haziness with the matte finish - if its fuzzy thats a PPI and resolution issue. Matte finishes just lower color accuracy, but not reaaaaally noticeable unless you're really looking for it
Compared to a glossier screen, the matte coating in my eyes look a little fuzzy. From a 34-inch QD-OLED to a 34-inch 34GS95QE (which I also reviewed and has the same panel) it has that effect which is noticeable if you were to put a whole screen white. Maybe I'm describing it wrong lol
Thanks for the feedback 🔥 These wallpapers are from Wallpaper Engine which you could get from Steam. It’s a few dollars but worth it since you get access to thousands of wallpapers
It’s a tough answer. On one end you get a nicer and brighter OLED display, a larger screen, and faster Refresh Rate which will feel like a worthy upgrade; But on the other end You’re getting same resolution which means less PPI and you lose the gloss for matte finish. If you’re primarily gaming, it’s a nice upgrade, for everything else, it’s a little mixed.
@FrankJackson I am in the same situation as u. Coming from a aw3423dwf > aw2725df >aw3225qf > back to aw2725df just because the 32 inch 4k is too big for my desk. I am in Asia and there is no 240hz oled ultrawide..the only one is the Asus pg34wcdm which is out of stock too. I could go back to the DWF but...its like I am wasting my time changing monitors. So I am waiting for a 240hz ultrawide preferably 34 inch as that is the sweet spot. Not too big for my desk.
Appreciate both responses. I saw the monitor at Best Buy and the immersion blew me away. That PPI suffers but doable. I can get one for about $800 but still in the fence since I have my AW34. 34 is that sweet spot but that curvature on this monitor is just sweet.
@@jamesmadison3108I’ve been waiting and waiting and waiting. I want it now lol. I hope AW comes out with a new 34” with at least 240hz and decent PPI like the current. With Razor dropping its new 16” laptop with 240hz I know these new monitors are coming.
Matte screen 🤮🤮🤮🤮. You have to be out of your mind to be buying OLED with a matte finish. It’s like buying a Ferrari with a Honda Civic engine, yeah it doesn’t make sense!!
A matte finish makes it easier to use in daylight and bright setups without glare. Some people don’t like seeing their own reflections or background with glossy displays. There’s pros and cons, but for most, matte makes the most sense
Yup, the matte coating is an automatic no for me. A pity they ruined another otherwise great monitor with it. If they ever bring out a glossy version I'll be first in line, until then I wont even consider it.
Thinking about upgrading to that monitor, currently i got an 34" HP X34 which is great but only ips and 165hz. I feel that i might miss something haha, scared about burn in tho i want to use my monitor for at least 5 years.
I want that thing so bad...but here in Germany they only Discounted it to about $1350 while in the US its $900. Its so unfair 😭😭😭

As quirky as Samsung monitors can be, the PPI is what keeps me going back. LG missed the mark on this one, severely overpriced for a cut down TV panel

@@jamesmadison3108I’ve been waiting and waiting and waiting. I want it now lol. I hope AW comes out with a new 34” with at least 240hz and decent PPI like the current.
With Razor dropping its new 16” laptop with 240hz I know these new monitors are coming.
matte display is a turn off. why can't they make the screen like their g3's and c3s?
Matte screen 🤮🤮🤮🤮. You have to be out of your mind to be buying OLED with a matte finish. It’s like buying a Ferrari with a Honda Civic engine, yeah it doesn’t make sense!!
A matte finish makes it easier to use in daylight and bright setups without glare. Some people don’t like seeing their own reflections or background with glossy displays. There’s pros and cons, but for most, matte makes the most sense
Yup, the matte coating is an automatic no for me. A pity they ruined another otherwise great monitor with it. If they ever bring out a glossy version I'll be first in line, until then I wont even consider it.
Thinking about upgrading to that monitor, currently i got an 34" HP X34 which is great but only ips and 165hz. I feel that i might miss something haha, scared about burn in tho i want to use my monitor for at least 5 years.
