LG 38WN95C-W alternatives

[Alesek]

Hi, i am looking for a new monitor. Currently got Asus XG43VQ (32:9) and am getting sick of having to play games in a window

 

I saw the 38WN95C-W seems quite perfect but it is over 2 years old now. Are there any newer alternatives? 

 

I like the Thunderbolt for my work laptop (but not 100% stuck on it) and high refresh rate for gaming. I am quite indifferent about the 3840x1600 resolution as I'll get less fps in games compared to 1440p but more space for working... Also I am not looking for oled because I'll spend 8 hours per day coding and reading on it so that wouldn't be great.

Also i don't care about the LG 1 year warranty because i get 2 years anyway (EU)

OLED is the way to go why do you think it won't be great ?

Hey there, does the Acer Nitro XR3 XR383CURPbmiiphuzx sound like something that you would like? It does do HDR600 with 750nits peak and it goes up to 165Hz OC. Sadly as it's a gaming monitor it doesn't come with Thunderbolt, but it has a USB-C DP mode. I also don't know if the very slight curvature is a big deal to you, but it's a very recent monitor (around a year old).

I hope I could help you a little bit on your search. 

 

Cheers!

I heard that text doesn't display nicely and burn in might be an issue for me considering most of my time i won't be gaming. Also my room is quite bright and they have quite low brightness.

Thanks, didn't see this one before. I'll pass on this one though because there are not many reviews for it and i heard quite some complaints about Acer monitors in general

I understand your concerns, I just wanted to add that this monitor has the same LG panel as other more expensively priced variants which all have that pesky NVIDIA chip for VRR. So yeah in terms of the panel it probably is a very solid one. Just my two cents. 

 

Merry Christmas!
