compared

More screen area for higher productivity

The introduction of ultrawide monitors was intended to increase productivity, since you can now have several windows open next to each other and don’t always have to switch back and forth between different windows. It also saves having to set up multiple monitors side by side. We’ll show you which Ultrawide monitors are the best here.

Our main product is the LG 38WN95C-W because it scores best in the overall concept. It has a high resolution, 144 Hz and shines with many connectivity options. Our alternatives are mainly aimed at gamers, even though they can both be used for different purposes. The LG 34GP950G-B has native G-Sync, so it is best suited for all gamers with an Nvidia graphics card. The Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 is a brute widescreen in 49 inches that fully embraces the gamer with its curvature.

The current best ultrawide monitor is the LG 38WN95C-W. The 21:9 aspect ratio offers more horizontal screen space to open multiple windows side by side. The monitor has a resolution of 3840 x 1600 at 144 Hz and thus delivers a great picture.

A great advantage for the office is the variety of inputs on the monitor: the LG has a USB hub with USB-C and even Thunderbolt 3. A laptop can be connected via this port, which transmits the image and charges at the same time. The IPS panel gets very bright and the viewing angle is wide.

Unfortunately, the ergonomics are limited as the pan and tilt range is very small. Also, you can’t rotate it to portrait mode, which is not useful for Ultrawide monitor with curved screen anyway. Nevertheless, it is one of the best monitors for home office use.

Ultrawide with native G-Sync: LG 34GP950G-B

  • Native G-Sync
  • Low input lag
  • High peak brightness
  • Black tones look gray in dark rooms
  • No HDMI 2.1

Gamers with an Nvidida graphics card will have fun with the LG 34GP950G-B. The 34-inch screen has a resolution of 3440 x 1440 and offers native G-Sync. The 144 Hz can also be overclocked to 180 Hz. This feature comes in handy for shooter gamers.

Movements look incredibly smooth thanks to the excellent response time, regardless of whether you play at the maximum refresh rate or at 60 Hz. In addition, input lag is low and ensures a responsive gaming experience.

Unfortunately, the stand does not swivel and you cannot rotate it in portrait mode. Furthermore, the IPS panel has a low contrast, which makes blacks look rather gray. Overall, however, the LG is very well equipped.

Huge widescreen: Samsung Odyssey G9

  • Huge 32:9 screen
  • 240 Hz
  • FreeSync and G-Sync
  • High contrast and deep black levels
  • The strong curvature makes it difficult to use with several people
  • Problems with VRR at 60 Hz

The Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 has an incredible 49-inch screen and a 32:9 aspect ratio. It is equipped with a mini-LED backlight and has strong local dimming, which allows it to display deep blacks.

The gaming monitor has 240 Hz and supports FreeSync and G-Sync. It also has HDMI 2.1 ports, so you can take full advantage of a PS5 and Xbox Series X. The huge monitor almost envelops the user and lets them fully immerse themselves in the world of gaming.
