[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my honest testimonial on the LG 38” WQHD Curved Ultrawide Monitor 38WR85QC-W. I am an avid video-gamer, and this monitor is a high-end product! The refresh rate of 144Hz is extremely fast where I can play with no lag time and interruption. I love how this monitor has an Ethernet port, 4 USB ports for my multiple devices, an integrated kvm switch, and two type C ports that can charge laptops. It’s a monitor bundled with a complete docking station, so you have only one cable to unplug when you are on the go. The design is sleek and easily adjusts to my eye level. I can also multi-task easier because I can change the screen to a two-screen mode. It also has a mode to prevent blue light strain on your eyes. Overall, I recommend this monitor at the highest level. A great, top-quality product! My wife and I love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bigger is indeed better! This is what I can say about LG Ultrawide 38WR85QC-W
Coming from a 34 inch ultrawide, I thought it's not gonna make a difference as it's only a difference of 4 inches, but I was wrong. This one is a real productivity beast for me. This monitor does not come with a super smart system/ OS -- which I honestly prefer to an extent. Those monitor OS is quite limited with the functionality it brings anyway. This one has almost everything you need to still be productive and can even make it a smart one if you want to. Let me explain -- This is base on my use case. I don't primarily game and I'm planning to use this more for work and entertainment.
- Immersive - Ultrawide Screen (3840 x 1600) Curved Display
This works well for multitasking and splitting your display into 2-3 sections. No need for additional monitors. I was able to split my screen into 4 section and the size was big enough to use the sections as a "normal" screen for watching video, browsing, collaborating or charting.

- One Screen Multi-View Function (PiP or PbP)
This extends the above functionality even further. With the massive screen, I can use Picture in Picture functionality not just for watching YouTube videos which I did in the past with my other monitor, but I actually was able to use a another laptop for personal browsing and work. This gave me a new way to work with 2 laptops and still having a normal screen resolution as compared to Picture by Picture (or split screen). Unfortunately, the input is limited to a combination of USB-C and HDMI. I'd love to have it both USB-C to eliminate more cables from my setup. This features KVM that allows you to use one mouse and keyboard to control 2 devices but since my current device works similar, I am not using it -- but it's a great feature to have!

- Ports Galore
This one offer variety of ports for you to use, you've got the backports which has USB-C, Displayports, Regular USB, HDMI Ports and Audio port but it also had more ports at the bottom of the screen for additional USB-C and USB-A ports. This also comes with LAN port but I use WIFI so this is something I was not able to test/ use.

- Integrated Speakers
One more cable and space saver for me as this includes a built in 2x 7W speakers! It's loud enough for attending work meetings (I work from home), watching trainings or video.

- White and beautiful
I have a white minimal desk setup so having this in white is a big plus!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a beautiful monitor with a great resolution / pixels per inch and a nice refresh rate (144hz at 3840x1600) given how many pixels it's pushing. The matte finish is nice, and there's no noticable delay or tearing. Love this monitor for general productivity and gaming!

A Game-Changer in Display Excellence

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the 38" UltraWide™ Curved Monitor with WQHD Nano IPS Display, and it has completely transformed my computing and gaming experience. This monitor is a true marvel, combining cutting-edge technology with an immersive design that sets it apart from the competition.
One of the standout features of this monitor is its WQHD Nano IPS Display, which delivers breathtaking visuals with stunning color accuracy and clarity. Whether you're working on graphic design projects, watching movies, or playing the latest games, the display's vibrant colors and sharp details make every moment truly come to life.
The ultra-wide format and curved design create a panoramic viewing experience that draws you into the content like never before. It's not just a monitor; it's a window into a world of possibilities. The sheer size of the 38" screen is ideal for multitasking, allowing me to effortlessly manage multiple windows and applications simultaneously.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Perfect monitor for work and play!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this monitor because I wanted the best all-around display for productivity on my work-supplied macbook and gaming on my personal pc both at the same desk with the same peripherals. hdr is great, the size and resolution are amazing coming from a standard 1440p 21:9 34" alienware, the built in kvm works perfectly. for the price I would expect that but still! I chose this over an oled of similar caliber because I did not want to deal with pixel-refresh or burn in and this satisfies my needs very, very well.
the only shortcoming is that the local dimming zones are fairly large and there arent very many of them, but its not noticable 90% of the time and the trade offs are well worth it tho imo. if it had more, smaller zones it would be THE perfect display. as it is I still love it and expect to use it for years and years as I did with my alienware before it.
