LG - 39GS95QE UltraGear OLED Curved Gaming Monitor

If you can get the older 39" without the smart features at a good discount, and have a newer nvidia GPU and run dldsr, you can run 5120x2160 on the 1440p model.

I recently bought LGs 39” curved oled because it was on sale, and now this one is out and I have FOMO

Okay so mine is a WQHD LG 39GS95QE. So this isn’t really too big of an issue. I like it so far, much better than my older LG 32”. But I mostly game and switch from PS5 to PC would getting this 5k2k really matter?

I have the 39in LG. It’s great for gaming. Not the most ideal for work given the PPI but it works for me based on how far away I sit from the screen. It’s not a highly rated monitor but if you’re trying to keep your FPS, it’s a good compromise for gaming. I got mine for $450 and sold my two monitors for $300, so for $150 it was a worth while upgrade. But up to you on the price (IMO don’t spend over $500).

my current desk is 55.1" x 23.6", a bit off from your dimensions i used to run dual 32" for content consumption and gaming(both console and PC), i did run dual monitor arms for the displays and to me it didn't feel like they both were too wide for my desk with them going over a bit on each side. gaming and web browsing were the priority for that setup. next setup was with an 49" Samsung(for gaming and productivity), the dual 32s' mounted to the wall atop the 49" were for things like discord, emails and web browsing. though i enjoyed all the screen real estate, it didn't last long and thoughts of sizing down became paramount. i thought "how about" an single 34" but having 32" displays it didn't feel right, then i thought 45" LG Ultragear OLED but after owning the 49" (to me) that was still a tad bit wide for what i wanted. i ended up with an newly purchased(earlier this month) 39" LG Ultragear OLED. FOR ME it checks all the things i was looking for as far as size, specs and use. I use it for photo/video editing via my new mac mini m4 and def for FPS gaming(again console and PC). HDR when gaming has been an eye opener and game changer on this display. in my opinion, the 39" compliments MY desk's dimensions. On an monitor arm and positioned directly in the middle of the desk at arms length. haha, sorry for the looong read. good luck with whatever you decide.

Currently rocking the 39“ 1440p ultrawide lg and LOVING it! Wasn’t sure about upgrading to the 5k2k yet, but i’d love to give it a try!

u could look at the lg 39“ ultrawide, not sure if that has the same panel.

i have that one, can highly recommend! https://preview.redd.it/e8688fr0y0le1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bee9963ec9452e2fa197e877186ef5200bffe596

i have the 39“, for gaming it’s great but text is rly dog on it, not sure if i would want the 45“ version. i was considering getting the 5k2k but i feel like i dont wanna go back to 165hz. ill prolly get the 39“ 5k2k 240hz that hopefully gets announced in january.

Coming from a mini-LED monitor to an OLED, in itself I would say is an upgrade. That's my experience from mini-LED TV to OLED TV. For as monitor, I would think that same and moving up to a 39" is nice! I moved from a LCD 32" to an Alienware 34" OLED @ 165hz. I liked that upgraded, but missed that little extra height that I had from the 32". Last year, I upgraded from the Alienware to the LG 39" OLED (39GS95QE-B) model and loved it. I got the some extra height back that I was missing and now @ 240hz. Two days ago on Thursday, I seen the 45" LG OLED (45GS95QE-B), the 1449 @ 240hz version, on display at Best Buy and checked it out. I was interested in the size. The next day, I go get the 5k @ 165hz version. I was hesitant due to losing the 240hz at 1440p. I was aware of the dual mode, 1080p @ 330hz, but I've was not interested in having to swap to 1080p to get higher frame rates. That was a concern due to playing COD and Halo. Late Friday night, I was loving the visuals of the monitor. Started off playing games like Hitman, Black Myth, and Assassins Creed: Shadows. Already those looked amazing on my 39" version, but I felt the colors popped more on the 45". When I played COD 7 beta the first match I did at 5k @ 165hz, it felt okay, but I felt a downgrade. I didn't think I would feel that much of a difference in FPS when I went from the Alienware that was 165hz (but played at 144hz mostly because I wanted to keep the 10-bit HDR. It would drop to 8-bit if set to 165hz) to the LG 39" at 240hz. I felt a huge difference then. now, dropping back down to 165hz from 240hz, I feel a huge difference again. Using the the dual mode to switch to 1080p @ 330hz for the 1st time, I did not like it. The feel felt smoother and snapper though, but the image was a little too washed out looking for my taste. In that moment, I was considering on return the monitor and just setup my 39" back up and wait 'til LG can either do another model like this one but have it's dual mode do 3400 x 1440 @ 240hz instead or just have a 5k or 4k that does 240hz. The next day, which is today, I played a couple of more games to enjoy the 5k. I then switch to COD 6, and tried the dual mode again. I went into setting to make a couple of changes because it was last played on the 39". Once I got into a game, I was satisfied. The imaged looked way better. I don't know what happened, but it did not look bad as it did the previous day. I swap games and tried COD 7 beta and MW3, and it looked good on both. I haven't tried Halo yet though. So as of right now, I'm keeping the monitor and would say it is a good upgrade I did. Now, you can customize the resolution within the Nvidia Control Panel, but you can only do when dual mode is activated; the button is grayed out when dual mode is not activated. The only luck I had with customizing the resolution without doing more advanced tuning, it changing to 2560 x 1440 @ 240hz. But a couple of other somewhere on Reddit claimed to push up to 3400 x 1600 @ 330hz. Now in dual mode, I been using at the full screen. There's an option to have screen/image shrink to mirror as if you're on a 37" screen, 39", 34", 24", or 27". My in-game setting was set to preset at Balanced, DLSS on and set to ultra performance. FrameGen set to off. I have tried with DLAA instead of DLSS and the image quality slightly dropped. Constantly averaging over 280fps. On the nuketown map, hit over 300fps for a nice lengthy period. I'm running my system with a rtx 4090, 13900K, 64GB DDR5 6200mhz. On a game lie Hitman: World Assassin, everything on ultra and all RT settings on max, I struggled staying at 30fps with DLSS off. With all RT settings off, I was getting between 35 to 40fps depending on the amount of extra NPCs in an area. With everything on ultra and all RT settings on max and DLSS on, was easily between 60 - 72fps, but with all RT settings off, it would hit in the 80s. If you use FrameGen, it'll put you a little over 100fps.

Even the 39 is too small to split while gaming. I have one and put a 24" screen on top as second screen. I think 34 is too narrow. Not enough height.

Having tested a lot of monitors and varying monitor sizes I think 39-45" curved is ideal for 21:9 with the right setup, though I know some will argue 34"/flat since a lot of people don't like going above 27" for 16:9. Using an LG 39" as we speak. Would love to test the GX9!

I love mine, performs fairly well with my 4070 at 5K2K on esports games which was better than I was expecting. I do wish it had the TVapps and smart features so I could have the best of both worlds. I previously had the 39in LG UltraGear for about a month and it had all these cool ai enhancements for the audio which made the built in speakers perform really well which was sweet. Given that the 5K2K is mainly gaming focused though, it does make sense why they didn’t put those features but would’ve made me feel like I got more for the money.

I'm using the LG 39" OLED. I was very hesitant with an 800R curve and matte finish, but this may very well be the best monitor I have ever used... however... I was getting headaches/eyestrain from it when I first bought it (coming from LG Nano IPS which was about perfect, but 27" was too small). I adjusted the colors/warmth and haven't had any issues. Have you attempted to change your settings with your current monitor to alleviate your headaches?

Have the 39 inch LG oled ultrawide and a 42 inch lg c2 and I much prefer to play on the ultrawide with more frames

OLED: Not currently. I did get one of LG's woefully under-rated 38BN95C-W monitors on sale for $850 a while back (3840x1600, 144hz nano IPS). About as close as you will get currently. Not perfect, but i dont ever remember that when i'm playing games on it. The picture is brilliant, and the size/curve is amazing. The adjustable curve model is about the only replacement i'd accept over it now. Tried to like the ultragear 3440x1440 OLED model in the same size but the pixel density was noticeable to me.

39GS95QE-B 240Hz, HDR 400 Trueblack, OLED, gsync, very minimalistic frame without any branding. doesn't really get better imo

I got mine Friday to replace my 39" 3440x1440 Ultragear and I have zero regrets. It's incredible and makes for the best gaming experience I've had hands down.

I just had an LG 39’’ OLED 3440x1440 come in as my first ultrawide I was verrry excited. Turns out it’s quite blurry and the colors are off even after messing with the settings for a few hours. Granted this is the first day, but I feel let down after the price I paid

Okay so mine is a WQHD LG 39GS95QE. So this isn’t really too big of an issue. I like it so far, much better than my older LG 32”. But I mostly game and switch from PS5 to PC would getting this 5k2k really matter?

I have one and for my limited gamespace it’s doing great. I moved up from a 60hz 34in ultrawide so the 2x framerate was a major plus. Very sharp, great color gamut. The 800mm radius of the monitor is wide enough that the sides feel like they wrap around you.  I get a tiny little flicker on 30 or 60fps menu screens, but it’s normal for OLED screens when you’re running Gsync. Barely noticeable in any case, and in-game that isn’t a factor. 

I've only been looking into WOLEDs but found that they also covered planned QDs at around 16 minutes in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjCQzKwgBow](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjCQzKwgBow) They have a less aggressive curve at 1800R Currently have an 1800R VA panel myself and it's great for media, productivity and gaming. I just haven't seen any mentioned in the 39" size for your height preference. LG does have a 39" currently but its 3440 x 1440. Similar to running 1440p monitor on 32" screen. Not sure if PPI is a dealbreaker as well. Here's the WOLED roadmap for comparison, has past and present models at about 19:40 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyYRevThUUw&t=1061s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyYRevThUUw&t=1061s) As for more curve talk, I'm still hesitant about the 800R curve from looking at pictures from above, but most people say it's great for 39" and higher models and you get used to it for gaming. My initial ideal monitor was WOLED 34" but with a less aggressive curve, but that's not in LGs roadmap for the next 2 years so I'm just going to give 800R a try. Saw one in person at a BestBuy with a game demo running. I thought it was fine for gaming, but don't know how it'll feel for movies or productivity, so my plan is keep my VA for productivity and WOLED for gaming. So that's the current market for 21:9 ultrawides 34" QD OLEDs at 3440x1440 now in 240hz (109 ppi) 39" LG WOLEDs at 3440x1440 now in 240hz (95 ppi) 39" LG WOLEDs at 5120x2160 late this year (142 ppi) I also haven't kept up as much with OLEDs so theres a chance a 39" QD may have been announced at CES

just picked up the 39GS95QE-B. No speakers is annoying. I'm not sure if I can live with this blurry resolution that looks OK if you stay 4 feet away ?? .ight be a costco return

I recently bought LGs 39” curved oled because it was on sale, and now this one is out and I have FOMO

I have both - Alienware 34 and LG 39 GS. For simracing LG with 800r curve is defintely the best. 39inch gives a bit wider fov too.

Nope. For 39" OLED there's only the 3440x1440p or 5k2k

Yea the 39 also came with a remote, that’s such a underrated feature imo. I loved the remote.

Take the 39". Its height will be like the 42" LG C4, but with an 800R curvature radius. It's awesome for gaming!

Triples. You can still do triples with regular 21:9 ultrawide. But 49" 32:9 monitors i.e super-ultrawide have the same height as a 27" 16:9 monitor. They are basically just two 27 inch monitors stitched together. Here's a [great visual comparison](https://imgur.com/gallery/super-ultrawide-ultrawide-monitor-comparison-CiMeJMT) to give you a better idea of relative monitor sizes. If you want single 'big' ultrwawide monitor, then a [45" 21:9 ultrawide](https://www.amazon.com/LG-45GX950A-B-Ultragear-Dual-Mode-FreeSync/dp/B0DYG9DKX8?th=1) is a way better experience IMO because you get so much more vertical real-estate than even a 54" 32:9 super-ultrawide. Price is a different disucssion. If you want the best of both world, you can do triples with [40" 21:9 ultrawides](https://www.amazon.com/LG-Ultragear-Curved-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B0DXS21FPG), which are the height equivilent to 32" 16:9 monitors. With regular 16:9 triples, 32-42in is the sweetspot. However there's a bit of a deadzone in the 34-40in range for decent gaming monitors ATM, at least ones with things like OLED and 240hz refresh rate etc. Personally, in a perfect world I'm a fan of triple 40" 21:9 monitors. You get the height of a 32in monitor, an ultawide single/main monitor experience, while stlil being able to run triples effectively.

highly recommend LG Oled ultrawide series, I have the 39” GS

I went through the same path like you. I have 35 inch VA panel curved monitor and wanted switch to OLED, I bought the 39 inch version of that LG you mentioned. Text ghosting was horrible. I put my eye on LG 42 inch C4 but I read many bad reviews about the flicker issue. Now waiting for the discount for LG 45 5120x2160 monitor

I have the 39in LG. It’s great for gaming. Not the most ideal for work given the PPI but it works for me based on how far away I sit from the screen. It’s not a highly rated monitor but if you’re trying to keep your FPS, it’s a good compromise for gaming. I got mine for $450 and sold my two monitors for $300, so for $150 it was a worth while upgrade. But up to you on the price (IMO don’t spend over $500).

never mind! I turned off "clear type" its not bad!

I use a cheaper end LG 3440x1440 monitor connected to a 2019 MBP as my daily driver. Zero issues at all, no blurry text

OP the 45 inch could work. I just returned the LG 39GS95QE, 39 Inch, 1440p, 240hz, Oled. Tbh I thought it was awful for productivity and only OK for gaming. 1. The text at this size looks blurry, made my eyes tired. 2. VRR flicker is annoying as hell... this can be improved by lowering the refresh rate. 3. I felt when gaming due to the resolution the characters looked bloated. Like playing 2560x1440 on a 3440x1440 34 inch ultrawide. 4. The fact that you'll get screen burn if used for productivity. Thought I would be blown away by oled and dont get me wrong colour and blacks were amazing but due to the above it's getting sent back. For now I'll stick with my Acer predator x35 ips ultrawide. If you get the LG 45 5k2k let us know how you got on.

I was really mistaken. This is if a 42" TV in 21:9 emulation mode will correspond to a 39" monitor with a 21:9 aspect ratio.

I have the LG 39" 3440x1440 240hz Monitor and think 39" or 45" is the sweetspot, but i only tried 39".

I just bought the only 39 inch UW OLED 240hz LG ultragear. Cannot wait for it to arrive

My stepdad has the non-oled. It's a lovely monitor, but not for everyone. When I got my oled, I decided against this one, because I prefer 21:9 ratio over 32:9. So got an lg oled 39 inch one. I enjoy more physical height over width.

Bought the 1440p version of this monitor and returned it and got the 5k2K all in the last week. The 5K2k is AMAZING!

39-in LG Ultragear at Costco is currently $550. You don't need a membership to buy it online and have it shipped to your house. It is a WQHD monitor with an 800R curve, so it's not going to be for everybody. I just ordered one. Normally these things are about $1,000.
