The best size and resolution available
My cat chewed my LG34GN850B so I was forced to upgrade. As a gamer and someone who works at home, I originally bought the AW34 OLED, but trying to use OLED for work was nearly impossible. The text was too blurry and the screen was too dark. I decided to go with this monitor for the fact that it’s works as a professional work monitor and works great for gaming. The size and resolution are also the sweet spot as folks say. 2160P for 38” is just too much - you can hardly see the text. But with 1600, it feels like you’re using a bigger monitor but still on 1080 or 1440. It’s just perfect. Pros - Brightest monitor I’ve seen - size and resolution are perfect. - 144hz, gsync, - usb C - quick setup Cons - stand is cheap and wobbly - display port cable is short.

"Best Buy" Excellent Purchase indeed
This is my second monitor. The first one was perfect but it had a large scratch vertically across the screen. Overall this monitor is impressive. I am still not used to ultrawide but it is both excellent for productivity and for gaming. Although the USB-C ports on the monitor are not thunderbolt, my work laptop can utilize the extra screen real estate while charging at the same time. The speakers are also better than I expected which means I can save money from not buying speakers at the moment.
