WOW, I just can’t get the…

Nor can I believe I finally have this visual masterpiece. I’ve been fantasizing over large multi-purpose monitors for a long while now, resisting prior generations hampered by 60/75 hz refresh rates, with color accuracy compromises.
No sir, not any more. LG clearly listened to their loyal fans, reading fan forums, while perfecting the technology. This brand new 38-inch UltraWide is a beast. Massive size, crystal clear images, vibrant wide-color gamut, precise text, and rich lush textures and immersion that bring games to life.
The curvature on this monitor is perfect, not exaggerated nor gimmicky. It’s an immersive experience-imagine looking through a cockpit or car windshield. Absorb yourself into the world before you.
I justified this as a split-purpose display. My wife’s work from home job requires dual monitors to support multiple spreadsheets, and virtual workspaces, Zoom, etc.
Her computer usage is 100% productivity Windows; mine 65% Mac AV production, 35% PC gaming (racing/flight sims Nvidia GeForce 2080->Ampere)
I labored over my decision, torn between this and the 38GN950-B “Sphere Lighting” model, but practicality cannot be overstated. Not one iota of buyers remorse.
My 2015 MacBook Pro only has DisplayPort, future Apple Silicon Macs will continue to support TB3, insuring this new model is future-proofed for multiple Mac and PC generations, plus PS5 and Xbox Series X gaming consoles.
Nothing can be 100% perfect can it? For hybrid Mac and PC users, you must use Thunderbolt 3 “OR” DisplayPort for side-by-side, so one machine has to be crippled with 60 hz refresh over HDMI.
