Yooooo!

I recently replaced my LG UltraGear OLED 45GR95QE with the LG 39GX950B, and the switch has been a noticeable shift in how I interact with my setup.

Overall, I was genuinely happy with the 45-inch model. It delivered exactly what it was designed for: an extremely immersive, wide-format experience that pulls you into games and media. The aggressive curve, combined with the sheer width of the panel, created a strong sense of “being inside” the content—especially in cinematic games or when watching films. However, that same strength eventually became a limitation in my specific setup.

The main issue for me wasn’t the panel quality or performance, but rather the combination of curvature and viewing distance. The monitor is really optimized for a sitting distance of roughly 65–75 cm, where the curve makes perfect sense and enhances immersion. In my case, though, I was sitting more around 85–95 cm away. At that distance, the curvature started to work against the experience instead of enhancing it. Rather than feeling like I was “in” the display, it often felt like I was looking into it from the outside, which slightly broke the intended immersion.

That realization led me to look for something a bit more balanced—slightly smaller, with less aggressive curvature, and ideally a bit higher pixel density or resolution. I had already been thinking about this direction for the past year or two, even while still enjoying the 45-inch OLED. Something closer to a 39-inch class panel felt like the right compromise between immersion and usability in my actual seating position.

The 39GX950B ended up fitting that idea quite well. It still offers a premium experience, but the reduced size makes it feel more natural at my viewing distance. The image feels more “contained” and focused, rather than overwhelming. It’s not that the 45-inch was too big in general—it was simply too optimized for a different physical setup than mine.

Of course, there are always trade-offs. I do miss the sheer cinematic scale of the 45-inch display at times. And I still think about how a 5K2K ultrawide at 240 Hz would have been the ultimate sweet spot—especially given that higher refresh rate options are starting to appear in larger formats, like some of LG’s 52-inch VA offerings. But at some point, practicality wins over chasing specs on paper.

In the end, the 45GR95QE remains an impressive display that absolutely delivers on its design goals. It just turned out that my desk, distance, and usage pattern align a bit better with a slightly smaller and more restrained ultrawide.

Can you do something wrong to get UHBR20 enabled at some point?
My RTX5090 is connected with various cables now, I am trying around, 12bit (to force the bandwidth), HDR on, 5K2K, 165 Hz, etc. but GPUZ keeps telling me, it run's on 10 Gbps x4, instead of 20 Gbps. I have tested 2 cables now with 2 meters, I ordered not 1,2m and 1,5m just to have the compare on that.

Monitor is set to PC 2.1 in OSD.

Hello people,

is there anyone, who is using DELL EMC storage (iSCSI) and runs like 30 RDS Servers (15-40 users each), who had problems before and got a better result under proxmox?

Barebone:
8x Cisco UCS M7, Intel Xeon Gold 6444Y, 1TB RAM, 2x 25G DAC

DELL EMC full flash (380F, 10x 8TB RAID5), 4TB and 8TB LUNs, 2x 25G NIC into SAN-network, RDS servers on thick eager zero.

Windows Server 2025, RDS Server with 4 CPU, 64GB RAM, storage extended as needed (between 150-300GB)

Thanks guys

Would you switch jobs in my situation?

Current situation:
IT Administrator
€49,800 gross/year base salary
Additional benefits and on-call duty on top
Actual take-home is around €2,600–2,800/month
Broad responsibility across different areas

Context:
I do want to leave my current employer and I’m actively looking for a change. But I don’t want to change jobs just for the sake of changing.

New opportunity:
Position is advertised in a salary range of €58k–78k
Recruiter already communicated that I would not switch below €65k, and despite that I was invited to both first and now second interview
Conditions and role are already largely known and work for me
Salary is basically the only open variable

Big difference in the role:
Current role is broad IT administration with focus on clients and RDS, but with infrastructure topics
New role is focused almost entirely on client administration / endpoint management
No server administration
No RDS
No infrastructure ownership
Less “IT babysitting” and fewer random catch-all tasks
More depth in one area instead of being responsible for everything

My position:
€65k is not my target — it’s simply my minimum to make a move. I’m not going into this trying to push for €70k+, but if they end up positioning me a bit higher within their range because they see me as a strong candidate, I’d obviously be happy about it.

Question:
If you were in my position, would you switch at €65k? Or would you personally expect more considering the salary jump, specialization, and changing employers?

Someone experiencing this too? No audios coming through, smartphone thinks it’s still connected.

Yo guys,

currently I have a 45GR95QE and a 38GN950B, 45 lower monitor, 38 upper monitor.

I am soon receiving my 39GX950B and will offer my 45GR95QE (if someone in EU is interessted xD), the question now is, what suits better to update? LG Switch or LG OnScreen Control? And why, if possible to mention.

Cheers

Yo guys,

did someone in europe or germany already receive the 39GX950B earlier than officially stated?

In the US many people got the deliverey 2-3 weeks before the official delivery time too.

Just curious if we have the same luck 😄

Cheerio
