I’m considering upgrading my monitor from 27 inches to a 38/39-inch ultrawide one. I need help choosing the right one. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Options

38/39-Inch: • ASUS PG39WCDM • LG 39GS95QE-B • Alienware AW3821DW (38”) • LG 38WN95CP-W

Don’t have much experience with ultrawide unfortunately.

I did notice the ASUS PG39WCDM and LG 39GS95QE-B are OLED.

You might want to check out these series of articles on OLED burn-in with heavy desktop use:

The OLED Burn-In Test: 9-Month Update

I’ve never had an OLED monitor, so I can’t speak from experience, but the findings of the above-mentioned experiment are not very comforting considering it’s a mere 9 months of running the test. I have some older OLED smartphones with burn-in and it’s extremely annoying for regular use.
