Product Snapshot

Overview

The LG 38GL950G-B display is a top-tier 38-inch ultrawide monitor released in 2019 that promises to deliver outstanding gaming performance. The curved 38-inch Nano IPS display features an impressive 1ms response time to eliminate motion blur, a high color accuracy for sharp pictures, and a 175Hz variable refresh rate to keep screen tearing at bay.

Its 38-inch screen is slightly larger than the LG 34GP83A-B’s 34-inch display, giving a wider field of view, and more screen real estate for increased productivity.
