Q: Hello together, I would like to know is it possible to choose a lower resolution as 3840 x 1600 which has also the 21:9 aspect format? LG support tell's me it's only the max. resolution possible. Thank you very much in advance.

A: Yes, you can use this monitor at lower resolutions. 3440x1440, 2560x1080, and you can also use with 16:9 aspect ratio (not recommended because of wasted screen space)

Q: I’m wanting to try PC gaming and I’m in the process of picking this monitor as my first PC monitor but I want to connect my PS5 time to time. So, does this monitor support the PS5 or does it depend on the type of game you play?

A: Hi, The PS5 comes with an HDMI 2.1 output port and the LG 38GL950 comes with HDMI 2.0. Theoretically then, you could connect the monitor to the PS5 but you would miss out on some functionality since the HDMI is an earlier version on the monitor. However, be aware that the PS5 is designed to be connected to a TV and not a monitor. Sony intended the PS5 to be used with a TV only. Also, the games on the PS5 do not support the Ultra wide format. There are still many games on the PC side that also do not support the Ultra wide format, although this is changing. My advice is to connect the PS5 to a TV. However, if you want to try to use a monitor, I would then recommend you do not use Ultra wide and to contact Sony support to see what gaming monitors that they have seen work successfully with the PS5.

Q: Is this G sync, or a knockoff of G sync. From my understanding, Adaptative Sync just turns the sync feature off when your frame rate moves above or below the targeted frame rate.

A: This has a Gsync module and it is capable of using AMD, therfore the adaptive sync. But the high price is due to it having a Gsync module

Q: According to the website it is adaptive sync technology and not g-sync. So someone's not telling the truth here?

A: The LG 38” UltraGear™ 21:9 Curved WQHD+ Nano IPS 1ms 144Hz HDR 400 Sphere Lighting 2.0 3-Side Virtually Borderless, Model # 38GL950G-B is an NVIDIA G-SYNC® monitor. Adaptive sync is a VESA DisplayPort standard and G-SYNC® and FreeSync™ are different types of Adaptive Sync technologies. G-SYNC® is NVIDIA's proprietary technology and as of 2019, is not VESA Adaptive-Sync compatible...^IFV

Q: Just making sure this model does have 175Hz Overclock also, right???

A: Yes, the monitor can be overclocked for a maximum resolution of 3840 x 1600 @ 175 Hz. LG Electronics is not responsible for the performance of the specified feature or any adverse effect caused by it once activated by users. For that reason, manufacturers do not advertise overclocking. Please be advised that overclocking your monitor may void the monitor’s warranty. ^Daphane

Q: Is the display height adjustable? What is the lowest height from the table surface (on the stand) to the top edge of the monitor?

A: Yes, the stand height is adjustable. The dimension are 35.3"W x 21.7"H x 11.3"D (up) and 35.3"W x 17.4"H x 11.3"D (down). ^Daphane
