Bigger is indeed better! This is what I can say about LG Ultrawide 38WR85QC-W
Coming from a 34 inch ultrawide, I thought it's not gonna make a difference as it's only a difference of 4 inches, but I was wrong. This one is a real productivity beast for me. This monitor does not come with a super smart system/ OS -- which I honestly prefer to an extent. Those monitor OS is quite limited with the functionality it brings anyway. This one has almost everything you need to still be productive and can even make it a smart one if you want to. Let me explain -- This is base on my use case. I don't primarily game and I'm planning to use this more for work and entertainment.
- Immersive - Ultrawide Screen (3840 x 1600) Curved Display
This works well for multitasking and splitting your display into 2-3 sections. No need for additional monitors. I was able to split my screen into 4 section and the size was big enough to use the sections as a "normal" screen for watching video, browsing, collaborating or charting.
- One Screen Multi-View Function (PiP or PbP)
This extends the above functionality even further. With the massive screen, I can use Picture in Picture functionality not just for watching YouTube videos which I did in the past with my other monitor, but I actually was able to use a another laptop for personal browsing and work. This gave me a new way to work with 2 laptops and still having a normal screen resolution as compared to Picture by Picture (or split screen). Unfortunately, the input is limited to a combination of USB-C and HDMI. I'd love to have it both USB-C to eliminate more cables from my setup. This features KVM that allows you to use one mouse and keyboard to control 2 devices but since my current device works similar, I am not using it -- but it's a great feature to have!
- Ports Galore
This one offer variety of ports for you to use, you've got the backports which has USB-C, Displayports, Regular USB, HDMI Ports and Audio port but it also had more ports at the bottom of the screen for additional USB-C and USB-A ports. This also comes with LAN port but I use WIFI so this is something I was not able to test/ use.
- Integrated Speakers
One more cable and space saver for me as this includes a built in 2x 7W speakers! It's loud enough for attending work meetings (I work from home), watching trainings or video.
- White and beautiful
I have a white minimal desk setup so having this in white is a big plus!
Overall, this monitor is AWESOME!
