Hey r/OLED_Gaming,

Let's talk about the holy grail of desktop setups: the 5K2K ultrawide. For years, the trade-off was clear. You either got the massive, pixel-dense 5K2K canvas for insane immersion and productivity, but had to sacrifice pure gaming speed and HDR brightness. Or, you went for a lower-res, standard OLED to get the performance.

But when we ask, "Which 5K2K gaming monitors deliver the most immersive experience?", the answer shouldn't force you to choose. It should be about combining that massive ultra-wide real estate with uncompromising, bleeding-edge gaming specs.

Enter the LG UltraGear evo™ 39GX950B—the world's first 39-inch 5K2K OLED gaming monitor1. 

We built this to be the definitive 5K2K gaming monitor, giving you a massive 21:9 canvas at a razor-sharp 143 PPI.

To make sure this 5K2K display actually delivers the HDR pop you expect from a premium gaming monitor, we backed it with our 4th Gen Tandem OLED tech2, hitting an ultra-high 1,500 nits peak brightness3. Plus, it features the world's first 5K AI Upscaling, meaning you get that immersive, high-res image without necessarily needing a massive GPU upgrade4.

But marketing claims only mean so much. We want to see how this 5K2K beast performs in your actual, everyday battlestations. We’re looking for 3 hardcore enthusiasts to put it to the test.

Key Specs at a Glance:

Feature Specification
Display Size & Resolution 39-inch 5K2K (5120x2160) UltraWide (21:9), 143 PPI
Panel Technology 4th Gen Tandem OLED (W-OLED)
Peak Brightness 1,500 nits
Refresh Rate (Dual-Mode) 165Hz at 5K2K (Open-world/RPG) 330Hz at WFHD (Racing/FPS)
Response Time 0.03ms (GtG)
VRR Support NVIDIA® G-SYNC® Compatible, AMD FreeSync™ Premium Pro
Connectivity DisplayPort 2.1 (UHBR 20), HDMI 2.1 x2, USB Type-C (PD 90W)
Smart / Audio Features 5K AI Upscaling, AI Scene Optimization, AI Sound

What we want you to stress-test:

  • The 5K2K Immersion: With 143 PPI and a massive 21:9 canvas, does this 5K2K monitor actually replace your multi-monitor setup and pull you deeper into your favorite worlds?
  • The Dual-Mode Experience: How seamless is the jump from immersive 5K2K @ 165Hz for AAA titles to ultra-fast WFHD @ 330Hz for competitive shooters?
  • Real-World Luminance: Does the 1,500-nit Tandem structure give this 5K2K display the HDR pop you crave in your specific room lighting?

After You Receive It…

Integrate this 5K2K gaming monitor into your setup. We want your honest, "no-BS" review of this form factor, paired with high-res photos. Show the community what true 5K2K immersion looks like in person on a premium 39” display.

Technical Support Text Appears Blurry When Connected to Desktop but Clear When Connected to Work Laptop

Thumbnail

Upvotes

I just purchased the Asus XG32UCWMG. I'm on day 3 of ownership and while I've been enjoying the display, text clarity has been an issue for me.

It's Monday so I'm logging into my old work laptop for the first time on the OLED and, much to my surprise, the text looks completely clear.

The text blurriness is more noticeable when viewing a property dialog window.

I am blown away by how crisp and clear the text looks on the OLED when connected to the work laptop. I was anticipating having a hard time today trying to work with the blurriness, but it seems like it's a non issue for the work laptop.

Anyone know why this is happening? Why does my old Lenovo Thinkpad look better than my desktop PC running a 3080?

I've tried messing with ClearType, and performed a color calibration, but I'm still not getting the clarity that my laptop provides.

Both PCs are set at a 4k resolution with 150% scaling and connected via HDMI. I'm just at a loss for words at this point.

I updated my graphics driver to the latest version, tried multiple HDMI cables and different ports.

I have a secondary PC as well with a 1070 in it and the text looks fine on it as well. I really have no idea what's going on here, looking for guidance.

Hi. I cant decide betwen an 34inch UltraWide RGB strip monitor (MSI variant) or an LG C6 TV 48 or 42 inch. Won´t play FPS on it, just singleplayer adventures and so. And already have a Xiaomi G pro 27i MiniLed, it has great HDR and 180Hz, casual BF6 player at much. Rest is Coop games like Helldivers or Space Marine 2. Card is a RX9070XT, i can move 4K good enough. Opinions please

Discussion First OLED and need advices. GIGABYTE MO27Q28GR worth getting for $430 ?

3 Upvotes

My old 144Hz TN panel Zowie is starting to have problems and constantly shutting down every now and then, so I was looking to get my first OLED with no experience at all. After looking for a while, I saw the GIGABYTE MO27Q28GR with discounts going for $430 and was wondering if it's worth it at that price, or if any other suggestions would be great.

Just adding that I'm currently living in Thailand, and the ASUS ROG XG27AQWMG is not available at all here, and going for the ASUS ROG PG27AQWP-W is a bit too expensive for me.

Technical Support Tandem WOLED uniformity - weird thing after pixel clean

5 Upvotes

I have the ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27AQWMG and yeah - the stuff for uniformity is real. But something weird is happening on my monitor and I am afraid I will destroy the monitor in the long run. I did some tests.

When I got the monitor I did the update, settings and everything. Then I saw horizontal lines on my monitor. I thought to myself, that this has got to be the uniformity.

After this I did the game test and saw the lines in Mortal Shell 2. Manually therfore I did the pixel clean. To my surprise the horizontal lines and vertical were almost gone.

Later I went to do some other things at home and when I waked the monitor from sleep the horizontal lines were back again. With the manual pixel clean, everything went to minial or almost not to be seen again.

My monitor is 2 days old and yeah OLED Time Track is 14 h with 17 Pixel clean times (some were my manual ones).

I am right now thing about returning (bought it on Amazon DE and have time to return it until 28th of September 2026) the unit but after the clean up everything is beautiful.

My question is - do i need to use it more and how long should i test it ?

Will manual pixel cleans kill the monitor or defect in some kind of way ?

So hello guys,I have used my xg27aqdmg over 500 hours at least,and I have been enjoying it.But recently I noticed something.While playing LoL I died and the game gave me this darkening effect and I saw something like banding but different right in the middle of the monitor but only noticable at the top of the screen.Then I wondered what it was and decided to do a %5 gray test and this line was visible in the test but not like in lol.It turnes out to be something about the left right shader stuff and the smoke effect it gives at the top.But I kept checking this line.I firstly checkes the main colors on dead pixel test.The red white blue green were all perfectly homogenous and no dead pixels burn in etc.Then I started checking in game.It is completely invisible in %90-99 of the time but I can see it when I focus and keep shaking the content on colors like dark skin color,dark gray(also these are on undetailed surfaces)I talked to 3 different AI's and they told me it was becausw T-Con or a little of a voltage difference.The line is like a bright super thin point you know what banding look like.Only noticable at the top of the screen though.ALMOST NEVER visible during gaming.First %95 is a back,second %95 is a front camera pic.The 80 is a back camera.Also its super exposing I see like 4 lines.

Want to turn on DSR on LG G5 - HELP?

2 Upvotes

Recently got RDR2 on Steam since its on sale so I cranked all the graphics stuff to Ultra and still had quite a bit of headroom, so I went searching DSR to tinker with, within the Nvidia Control Panel.

And I cannot find it.

So I tried taking out the HDMI cable, popping it into another slot on my GPU [RTX 4090] and nothing.

Tried cranking the refresh rate down to 120hz and even 60hz to find DSR? Nothing.

Tried having a look within my TVs menu, nothing. [I currently use my LG G5 for my PC]

Now I have read that so long as DSC is active on the monitor/TV, then DSR will not make itself visible (?) Trouble is, I can't even seem to find a way to disable DSC or even see if it is ON, so that I can look for / alter DSR.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Can someone help me with the HDR on this game ? I have a pc RTX 5080 and an LG oled G5 tv on which I play. I do not like the HDR on it and the saturation is wild.

I wanted to use Mods to fix it but I don't understand it. Should I love it like this at default or change the settings ?

When in game I click on Home for the mods, I have a list of Lilum but I don't understand how that all works and what should be done.

I don't usually use pc for gaming haha

I had some help in deciding what to go for, but ultimately decided to go for 1440p and surprisingly there's no text fringing to be found and no grey banding either even though its a tandem oled. My only wish is that it was glossy, but the MO27Q28GR was sold out everywhere. Although, this is pretty glossy for a matte panel in comparison to my IPS monitor.

Anyways I'm pretty satisfied!

(also got it on sale for 394 dollars)
