Our take
The LG 38GL950G is a premium ultrawide that delivers an exceptional gaming experience. The 3840x1600 resolution provides sharp detail, and the 144Hz refresh rate with 1ms response time ensures smooth, responsive gameplay. The IPS panel offers vibrant colors and wide viewing angles, while the 450cd/m² brightness handles well-lit rooms. The curved design adds immersion without being too extreme. I found the crosshair feature useful for FPS games. The main drawback is the price at $500, and the 1000:1 contrast ratio is standard. Overall, it's a top-tier monitor for gaming and productivity.
