May 2017: Below for update. While 4K monitors have been available for quite some time, ultra-wide ms to be where most people are willing to invest in these days. This may have something to do with how the much larger and wider...

I grew to rely on and appreciate the extra vertical resolution that 16:10 displays offer, but as the production and development of "widescreen" PC monitors matured, it naturally began to merge with the television industry, which had long since settled...

We've already looked at LG's UltraFine 5K and 27UD88 displays as companions for Apple's latest notebooks, and today we're taking a look at another USB-C display option that brings something quite different: LG's 38UC99 curved "UltraWide" display....

Why not choose a diagonal of more? If you like big diagonal, then pay attention to the new monitor LG 38UC99-W, equipped with a large 38-inch panel. The monitor provides convincing image quality and a good set of ergonomic features. It should be noted,...

At this point, it should be no surprise that the single most expensive monitor we've ever laid our eyes on also happens to be the best performing to date. The LG 38UC99 is an expensive monster of an ultrawide monitor, one that fulfills all my childhood...

International Review By Tweakers on March 14, 2018 100

Wat een scherm, met een resolutie van 3840x1600 is het ook zeker een erg gave resolutie. De curve van het scherm zorgt ook voor een erg overzichtelijk gevoel. De kleuren zijn prachtig (IPS, dus is vrij logisch). Voor normaal gebruik is dit scherm echt...

Like mice and keyboards, monitors are a highly personal choice. Other than space and budget constraints, there are questions on resolution, panel types, refresh rates, and so much more. It's why we have so many options, and where the LG 38UC99 is...

International Review By Tweakers on August 08, 2017 100

De LG 38UC99 is een bijzondere ervaring. Het feit dat het een 38” scherm is verklapte dat natuurlijk al een beetje, maar het ‘UltraWide WQHD+” concept is in mijn optiek een bewonderingswaardige take op grootbeeld. 27” schermen wen je zo aan,...

International Review By Mac Life on March 18, 2017 94

Der LG 38UC99-W ist konsequent auf die Bedürfnisse von Kreativarbeitern am Mac zugeschnitten. Sein 21-zu-9-Format korrespondiert mit der Darstellung der gängigen Videoanwendungen. Dank der Anschlussvielfalt können Laptop-Nutzern den Monitor als...

International Review By Netzwelt on February 16, 2017 89

Der LG 38UC99 ist ein Traum-Monitor. Wir können ihn getrost als Multitalent bezeichnen, wenngleich er für die Bildbearbeitung aufgrund seines speziellen 21:9-Formates nicht die erste Wahl ist. Unterm Strich leistet sich der gebogene 38-Zöller von LG in...

Plus grand moniteur panoramique du marché, le moniteur LG 38UC99 affiche une image parfaitement calibrée. La diagonale de 38 pouces offre un confort indéniable en bureautique et permet une bonne immersion dans les jeux. La compatibilité FreeSync est un...

International Review By PC Games Hardware on January 16, 2017 94

Mal vom deftigen Preis von circa 1.400 Euro abgesehen, hat der LG 38UC99 keinen Makel - weder in der Verarbeitung noch in der Bildqualität. Mit einer Diagonale über 37,5 Zoll ist er der größte Ultrawide von LG und mit 1600p auch der hochauflösendste.Er...
