Ordered on day of release and was expecting it in November after the changes of delivery etc but it actually arrived today.

The first thing I noticed when I switched it on was significant dimming on the right and figured it was just my eyes adjusting as my laptop is there on the right so assumed those oleds were playing havoc with my focus.

Did a test and it's not looking good.

I've tried turning hdr off and it's still the same, checked the software of the monitor and it's up to date.

Am I right in thinking the only next step is a return/replace?

I wouldn't be so bothered but I'm using it for a lot of productivity and well, it's a grands worth of monitor...

Hi everyone, I hope this post is allowed on here.

My AW3926QW is shared between my desktop (DisplayPort) and my work laptop (USB-C). Every switch meant reaching behind the screen and clicking through the on-screen menu to Input Source. Several times a day. It got old fast.

I looked around first. The monitor makers' own apps are usually heavy and Windows-only, and the open-source tools I tried felt cumbersome for something that should be one key press.

So I wrote my own: Monitor Input Switcher (very clever name, I know !).

What it does

• Switches the input from the system tray or a global shortcut (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+1, 2, 3... by default, all configurable)
• A "Next input" shortcut that cycles only through the inputs you actually use
• With the monitor's built-in KVM, the keyboard and mouse follow the video, so one shortcut moves everything to the other computer, and either computer can switch back
• Sets itself up on first run: it asks the monitor which inputs it has and names them (DisplayPort, HDMI-1, USB-C...)
• Also has a command line (monitor-input-switcher switch USB-C) if you want to script it

How it works

It sends the same DDC/CI command your monitor's own menu uses (VCP 0x60, Input Source). No drivers, no background service, no runtime: one small binary.

It talks to the monitor directly: raw I2C on Linux, Windows' built-in monitor API on Windows. The command goes out instantly; the rest is just your monitor changing input.

It runs on Windows 10/11 and Linux (KDE Plasma).

I built and tested it on my AW3926QW, but nothing in it is model-specific: it should work with any monitor that supports DDC/CI.

If you try it on yours, I'd love to hear whether it works, especially on other ultrawides.

I've been a console gamer all my life and made the switch to pc recently. I was content with playing on my TV, but after a bit of research and having always thought that Ultrawide looked super cool I ended up with a G9 OLED. I had concerns about going to 1440p since I usually game in 4k but the experience has been fantastic so far.

The wider view is an experience I've never had before in gaming and time will tell if it's my preferred method.

I have a 57" Neo G9 (7680×2160). Maximizing anything, or playing a game in borderless fullscreen, stretches it across the whole panel, which is awful. Shrinking the Windows work area messes up the taskbar, and FancyZones doesn't keep borderless-fullscreen games in a zone. So I built DisplayWeave.

What it does

You draw up to 9 regions on your monitor with a ruler-style editor, e.g. 1980 | 3720 | 1980.

When you maximize a window or a game goes borderless fullscreen, DisplayWeave automatically fits it into the region it's in.

Your desktop and taskbar stay normal size. Nothing is loaded into the app; it only moves the window from outside.

Per-app rules for the exceptions, when an app doesn't behave with the automatic fit:

Borderless in region, for games that resize themselves back to the full screen.

Centered fullscreen, which uses your GPU's centered scaling for exclusive-fullscreen games in the middle region.

Ignore, for apps it should never touch.

An opt-in Force fullscreen for apps that need it.

Layout profiles, remembers which region each app was last in, and you can hold Shift while maximizing to skip it once.

Why it might be useful to you: if you have a 32:9 or 49"/57" panel and want a 16:9 game in the middle with Discord or a browser on the sides, without black-bar hacks or changing your resolution.

Honest caveats

Windows 10/11 x64 only.

Exclusive fullscreen is never confined (that's what the Centered option is for).

Force fullscreen loads a component into the app, so anti-cheat may flag it. Don't use it on multiplayer games. Everything else stays outside the app.

Apps that aren't DPI-aware come out the wrong size when Windows scaling is above 100%.

It's an early 1.x, so expect rough edges with some games.

Currently have a Samsung Odyssey G5 Ultrawide, looking to upgrade. Love the aspect ratio that I currently have but would love better graphics. What is a good Ultrawide with an Oled display that can do 4K?

Do you manually run the pixel refresh? It is supposed to do automatically on stand-by after 20 hours of overall use. I saw it happen only once, as the power button starts flashing green for a few minutes (but no previous reminder that it will happen). Shouldn't it be done like once a day? I feel like after 20 hours it is a long time.

Hey,
I have decided to order myself the 45 inch 5k2k monitor (the one without AI upscalling). Here in Poland its currently for 5500 PLN with tax included which translates to around 1260 Euro or 1400US dollars. I am curious before ordering if there are any issues with this lg i should be aware of, and how is the process of EU LG warranty and returns. For example my alienware oled which i own right now had a known black screen bug with somehow the driver or whatever blocking the screen and not turning it on, i didnt know this and this bug actually appeared after like 3 months and i had to return and i got replacement easily with no issues. I was pretty happy with the Dell service for any of my previous momitors, yet i never had an LG one thats why I am asking around experience with them here, and for any potential known issues with the monitor itself.

Anyone else using this on a 32-inch monitor? I tested it on Assetto Corsa Rally & Evo, and after adjusting the cockpit view, the image looks great—but only at 120Hz. At 3840x1600 resolution, the image is sharp and HDR looks fantastic. I also tried forcing the resolution to 3840x1600 in the Nvidia panel and running ACR in automatic and windowed mode, but the colors seemed slightly off and not as good as in Samsung mode.

I was playing around and seem to have come across a solution that I haven't seen posted here, so I thought I'd post it. The dimming/desaturation issue is worst (for me) with strategy games that have lots of static elements in the corner. The two I play most at the moment are CIV VI and Total War Warhammer 3.

Since neither game has HDR, when I got the new monitor I obviously played them in SDR mode (with the standard preset). This is when dimming is most obvious. In CIV VI the corners dim significantly while in TW:Warhammer 3 the desaturation is quite noticeable.

Today I tried HDR mode (gamer mode preset) with both games and noticed that the game looks just as good (better actually, not sure why) as SDR and the dimming/desaturation reduces to the point where it's not super annoying anymore.

The SDR standard mode preset seems to be the worst for dimming.

Thought I'd post this here in case it helps anyone.

Or some other monitor? Around 300$

Finally looking into ultra wide monitor. Im going to keep my 4k monitor for gaming and want to use the ultra wide as non gaming stuff. I have a dual monitor setup but I want to get rid of the bezel. I’m not looking for 4k for it just a 1440 one. I came across Deco brand and seems to be good. Anyone have any input from their experience in it short/long term use of it?

Is there a roadmap of what coming? Like a mini led ultra wide? For productivity the Dell 40 in 5k seems the best.

Recorded during AION 2 Global Abyss Artifact Siege and the PvP fights afterward.

System: Ryzen 9 9950X3D + ROG Astral RTX 5090 OC + 96GB DDR5
Resolution: 5120×2160 5K2K HDR
Settings: Max Settings + DLSS + 4x Multi Frame Generation

During the heaviest fights with a huge number of players on screen, displayed FPS can fall to around 40–50 FPS while the underlying/base frame rate can drop as low as ~14 FPS.

Interestingly, it still feels much smoother than 14 FPS would suggest with 4x MFG enabled.
