What people are saying

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Need more space, get this Monitor Love it, replacing another LG 34" that I thought was big but the 38" gives you so much more workspace. Using it on both a PC and Mac mini M1, only complain is the software doesn't work correctly on the M1 so I'm giving it one less star.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from big screen This is a very good monitor. I like its large screen, but its resolution is too high. My pc is a bit old and it’s a bit hard to run the game. Overall, the picture is beautiful.
