LG’s 39-Inch Curved OLED Monitor Wraps Gaming and Media Into One Seamless Experience at a Bargain Price

Gamers and creators who want maximum screen space often stack multiple displays. Cables multiply, bezels interrupt the view, and focus splits across gaps. LG offers a different path with the 39GX90SA-W, priced at $799.99 (was $1,600), a single 39-inch curved OLED panel that aims to replace that entire arrangement with one enveloping surface.

The display has an ultrawide 3440 x 1440 pixel grid over a 21:9 frame and a very crisp 800R curve. That curvature draws the edges straight out at you, giving the impression that you’re in the scene rather than looking through a window. LG has complemented this distinctive form with a 240Hz refresh rate and a quick 0.03-millisecond grey-to-grey response time. This implies that quick action remains razor-sharp since the pixels change state every pulse. To top it all off, the OLED panel produces perfect blacks and an effectively infinite contrast ratio, so when the lights go out in a scene, you can see all of the information without the unpleasant glow that LCD panels produce when bright things are in the frame.

HDR performance is VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certified, which corresponds to sustained highlights of about 780 nits in even the smallest bright regions. That means the beautiful reflections and explosions will truly stand out on the screen without overpowering the rest of the image. Color coverage averages 98.5 percent of DCI-P3 in everyday use, giving rich reds, deep greens, and natural skin tones to whatever you’re watching, whether it’s a game, a movie, or just some work. The panel also supports NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium, ensuring a smooth ride regardless of the GPU or console you choose.

Many people buy large ultrawides to avoid the inconvenience of multi-monitor setups. As you may think, this LG model fits right into that. One clever trick is that you can use USB-C to charge your laptop with up to 65 watts. Two HDMI 2.1 connections and one DisplayPort 1.4 input support the latest high-bandwidth sources. A separate Ethernet port sits with two USB-A ports and a headphone jack. Plus, the stand can easily be adjusted for height, tilt, and swivel.

It’s not just about the raw specs, as LG has integrated webOS 24 into the display, so you can launch Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, YouTube, and other streaming apps without having to boot up your PC or console. Cloud gaming services such as GeForce Now are natively supported, and with the included remote, you can easily access all of this from the sofa. webOS handles all of the behind-the-scenes tasks, such as dynamic tone mapping, image sharpening, and even personalized picture presets depending on your viewing habits.
