- Office work scores surprisingly well at 92.1 out of 100 91st
Cons
- 275 nits peak brightness is underwhelming for HDR
- 39 inches at 3440x1440 means lower pixel density for productivity

The proof
Performance
This thing is fast. 240Hz with a 0.03ms GtG response time means motion clarity is top of the charts, and both G-SYNC Compatible and FreeSync Premium Pro are on board so tearing is a non-issue regardless of your GPU. The OLED panel delivers true blacks and HDR True Black 400 certification, though peak brightness at 275 nits won't blow your socks off in a sunlit room. Color coverage hits 98.5% DCI-P3, which lands in the 83rd percentile, solid but not class-leading. For pure gaming speed, this monitor is one of the best on the market.

vs Competition
Against the ASUS ROG Strix XG27UCDMG and MSI MAG 271QPX QD-OLED E2, the LG trades raw pixel density for sheer size and curve. Those 27-inch QD-OLEDs are sharper and brighter, but they can't match the immersion of a 39-inch 800R ultrawide. The Samsung Odyssey G60SD is a closer rival in the OLED gaming space, though it's smaller. The Dell UltraSharp U4025QW is the productivity pick with higher resolution, but it's not a 240Hz gaming panel. If you want one monitor that does both gaming and work well, the LG is a strong middle ground.

Price
Value & Pricing
Pricing is all over the place. We saw listings from USD 1,212 up to USD 2,549 across three US vendors, which is a USD 1,337 spread. That's not a typo. If you're buying, shop around hard because the same monitor can cost double depending on where you click. Newegg and Memory Express both list it, and the lower end of that range feels fair for a 39-inch 240Hz OLED. At the high end, you're paying way too much. Check the vendor with the best deal before you commit.

Overview
The LG UltraGear 39GS95QE-B is a big, curved OLED that goes hard on immersion. You get a 39.6-inch 3440x1440 panel with an aggressive 800R curve, 240Hz refresh, and a 0.03ms response time. That combo puts it in the 98th percentile for performance in our database, which is about as good as it gets for ultrawide gaming right now.
It's not just a gaming panel either. Office work scores 92.1 out of 100, so it pulls double duty if you don't mind the size. The main trade-off is portability, which sits at a sad 11.5 out of 100. But let's be real, nobody's throwing a 39-inch monitor in a backpack.
Common Questions
Q: What connections does this monitor have for gaming?
You get two HDMI ports, one DisplayPort, and a Thunderbolt connection, plus a headphone jack. For optimal gaming, DisplayPort or HDMI 2.1 will both handle the 240Hz refresh rate fine.
Q: Does the anti-glare coating actually help?
The anti-glare treatment helps reduce reflections in brighter rooms, which is useful since peak brightness is only 275 nits. It won't fix a sunlit room entirely, but it keeps the OLED blacks from turning into mirrors.
Q: What kind of warranty does LG include?
LG typically covers their UltraGear OLED monitors with a limited warranty that includes panel burn-in protection, though exact terms vary by region. Check with your retailer for the specific coverage on this model.
Who Should Skip This
Skip this if you need a portable setup or a compact desk, the 33rd percentile compact score means it's huge and heavy at over 10kg. Also skip it if you do color-critical work that demands high peak brightness, 275 nits won't cut it. And if you're on a tight budget, the price spread means you could easily overpay if you don't hunt for the USD 1,212 listing.
Verdict
Buy this if you want a big, fast, immersive ultrawide for gaming and don't mind the desk real estate. It's a top-tier performer with excellent motion handling and a curve that pulls you into the game. The brightness ceiling and pixel density are the main compromises, but for most gamers those are easy to live with. If you're after the absolute sharpest text for work, a 4K panel might serve you better.
