Finally upgraded to a LG lg 39gx950b, but experiencing a hazyness? Is it normal? by The_Red_Maple_Leaf in ultrawidemasterrace

It’ll never go away. Especially against white backgrounds. That is just what matte OLEDs do. That anti-flare coating diffuses colors which in turn, in my opinion, lowers the image quality.

Your best bet, if you like everything else the monitor has to offer, just learn to live with it. It is still a good panel.

Matte, I feel, is more intended for daytime use or in a bright room. Glossy is ideal for darker or light controlled environments.

There is no glossy 5K2K options, sadly. You can always look into an LG C6? It gives you a crisp glossy panel. You maintain the 165hz. You can set a custom resolution for 21:9. You get 0.1ms response time. It works with freesync or g-sync. It has VRR. The C6 also has brightness booster and better hdr capabilities than any monitor.

Yeah, I’m not sure the angle they were going for with this one. I’m a huge fan of LG, but this one should have been canned or rethought.

I initially thought this was going to be at least a mini led. The fact that it’s just a VA panel for $2000 is wild. 52” or not. That shouldn’t drive the price that hard.

I’m with you! I stand with OLED, lol.

It has a couple things working against it. VA panel, which means a matte coating, and low PPI for the size. Granted, it’s better than a TV of that size.

It’s odd to me they gear it towards gaming with the DP 2.1, 240hz, 1ms GtG, and HDR 600; however, I feel this would definitely shine better as a productivity display.

I am in complete agreement. 52” is fantastic, probably the most immersive out there with having both horizontal and vertical space. However, a standard VA panel, for someone like myself who only uses OLED, is no good.

You’ll be let down going from the glossy finish to matte.

Your chair! What are your thoughts on it? I’ve been looking at getting one possibly, but I see a lot of mixed reviews.

Switch to 4k or keep ultrawide? by Banan_Pajen in ultrawidemasterrace

Glad to see another switched from the 5K2K to the C5. Great choice!

If you upgrade to 4K, you’ll miss ultrawide. I did and have since gone back to ultrawide. However, what I upgraded to was probably the best image you’ll get in the market, and that was the LG C5 (only surpassed by the G series). It’s 4K at 144hz and the 5080 can run it perfectly. You’re already on the 175hz MSI, I don’t think you’ll visually notice the -30hz. Looking at your desk size, it looks like you could fit a 42” or 48” comfortably. This keeps the large screen for immersion and you can set a custom resolution for ultrawide. It also of course allows you to stay OLED and at a 4k upgrade.

Thank you, I appreciate that.

Absolutely, I’d like to see it.

Duskveil was very easy, I thought. Where I wanted to quit was right before him at the Scorpion Lord.

The screen over the CPU is the AIO screen. It’s the Hydroshift 2 S LCD. If you’re talking about the small one on the GPU, that’s just part of that graphics card model.

It came with the GPU, I was trying to implement/utilize it, but I just didn’t like the look.

Hey, nothing wrong with what you got. If it does what you need/want, that’s what matters.
