Overview
Daniel purchased an LG 39-inch UltraGear OLED ultrawide monitor for £1,000 to replace a broken curved monitor, experiencing regret over its high cost, limited vertical height matching a 27-inch display, and poor compatibility with 16:9 games and videos.
Daniel reviewed display specifications and usage, expressing indifference to the 240Hz refresh rate and OLED panel, noting productivity benefits for split-screen window arrangements, and encountering black bars or unnatural stretching in 16:9 YouTube videos and unsupported games such as Warhammer Space Marine 2.
Daniel weighed alternatives like multi-monitor configurations, television displays, and super-ultrawide monitors such as the Samsung Odyssey G9, which was rejected due to extreme distortion.
