LG 38WN95C-W

The LG 38WN95C-W is a great overall monitor. It's very good for office use or watching content, because it gets bright enough to combat glare, has wide viewing angles, and displays a wide color gamut. It's impressive for gaming due to its extremely quick response time, incredibly low input lag, and FreeSync support. HDR content looks good as it gets bright enough to bring out highlights, but it has a low contrast ratio and the local dimming feature is terrible.

LG’s panel looks great, has good features, and has the colour accuracy, uniformity and contrast to be able to handle mainstream work and gaming. Its image quality isn’t quite good enough for colour-sensitive and demanding workloads, though, and bigger, faster widescreens are available for similar prices.
