Still, although it can’t compare to OLEDs in particular, the UltraGear 38GN950 does display a decent HDR image. The HDR here is still a middling version, with a peak brightness of only 600 nits. Meanwhile, the DCI-P3 98% color gamut support makes it a good option for photographers and video editors. We found that playing at 144Hz and 160Hz results in an enjoyable experience without screen tearing. In particular, Microsoft Flight Simulator greatly benefited from the ultrawide design as it allowed us to keep an eye on landmarks and runways without pressing a button to switch views. With a 144Hz refresh rate that can be easily overclocked to 160Hz, 1ms response time, spectacular image quality, and many other gaming features like G-Sync, an ultra-wide aspect ratio, and DisplayHDR 600 this is a truly remarkable monitor.ĭuring testing, the 21:9 ultrawide aspect ratio certainly delivered the ‘wow’ factor –games feel much more cinematic on this display, offering not just a super-immersive experience, but also a tactical advantage. If you’re looking for the ultimate gaming monitor the LG UltraGear 38GN950 is certainly the one to beat.
