    The moment this went up, it was $3500 and I gave up. I wasn't aware they added a pre-order discount immediately afterwards.

      Yep, my thoughts too.

      They said it was going live on the 10th but was available to buy on the 9th at $3500.

      This mornings 25% discount sold me since $3500 was a joke price. May as well buy a 42" or 48" LG TV, or if want wider, Samsung's 57".

    • abowen on 10/04/2025 - 11:39

      Added cashrewards discount too if you want to cancel and reorder for extra dscount

    After using curved monitors for years I'll be avoiding them from now on.. My eyes end up changing the curve to FLAT and flat screens look like an inverted curve :) I know its just the brain altering the perception and adapting but i don't like it. I will only buy flat PC monitors.

    • abowen on 10/04/2025 - 10:32

      I know what you mean, but interesting enough I'm opposite.

      I have a 1800R monitor, and one time I changed back to a 27" 4k, and edge of panels looked like they were falling away.
      Got used to it within a day though, but still, I don't want to use flats again outside a laptop.

      • vid_ghost on 10/04/2025 - 10:35

        OLED has the best viewing angles (I have a 65" LG OLED TV) and ZERO glow fade on edges so its perfect as a large flat screen

        All curved screens i've used have been VA and they dont have the best viewing angles to begin with and bad off angle edge fading.

        • abowen on 10/04/2025 - 10:37
          +1

          VA is interesting. Using it as my primary monitor and I don't have issues with colour but then after using an IPS or OLED, I come back to mine and it looks so washed out.

          Only concern is how many years burn in will take, other than that it seems like almost no downsides to going to OLED

            @abowen: Pixel shift has helped reduce burn in issues or at least made it more of a long term problem.
            Lots of refurbished 10" Tablets with burn in on the market.. i guess time will tell what happens with desktop monitors.
            I'll try an OLED PC Monitor when they hit the $500-$600 price point for 32" 1440P

            • Zerosignal on 10/04/2025 - 10:51

              @vid_ghost: Funnily enough the only device I have with burn in is my apple watch which has the always on display.

            • ATangk on 10/04/2025 - 10:52

              @vid_ghost: Isn't it just time to convert it to a 65" gaming monitor?

    • Goliathus on 10/04/2025 - 11:18

      What's the problem here? You'll find your perception will adjust back to flat screen and curved screens will seem curved again? I use both flat and curved for appox. 10h a day everyday and have absolutely no issues with curves or flats.

    • Dienk on 10/04/2025 - 12:01

      Do you see TVs like that as well?

    • Farticus on 10/04/2025 - 16:24

      They're great for gaming but that's it. I had the same issue when I went back to a flat screen. Looked like the screen was bulging. Took weeks for my eyes to get used to it

    • crimsson on 10/04/2025 - 21:52

      idk why but im in the same boat.
      thats weird 'cuz i use flat screen for work and curved one when im at home.
      I dont feel "inverted curve" when I work, but now that I have flat screen at home, I get that feeling…
      After few months, my eyes start adapting to flat screen

    • kristiantt on 11/04/2025 - 09:47

      Yep. I previously had a curved 38" Alienware which I used for a combination of productivity/work and gaming. Curved screens for productivity work isn't great at all, especially if you are doing design/development related work - where you want to be properly seeing straight lines and making sure your work is as it should be.

      I'm now back to a flat 27" with high refresh rate, which I'm finding to be awesome for both productivity and gaming. It might seem counter intuitive, but I actually find large screens to be bad for competitive gaming, because you can't see the entire screen at the same time. You need to make head movements or big eye movements to see things like your health, ammo, radar, etc. Between 24 - 27" is the perfect size if you want to be able to take in most of the screen at once, which I guess is why most esports LAN tournaments (like the IEM CS tournaments etc) use those sizes for the pro games on stage.

      • Bruceflix on 10/04/2025 - 14:35

        Logged into LG. then in search i typed education. Then the first search result was education hub. Clicked on that. Then although i was already signed in I clicked on the sign in link half way down the screen. then it automatically ran through the sign in process. then there was a preorder banner at the top of the screen.

        • xenoic on 10/04/2025 - 15:02

          Doesn't work for me :(

          My price in the EDU portal is $2,361.82

            @xenoic: That's right. Then go into chat and ask for a 5% coupon so you can buy today

    Personally at this price point I would rather have the LG 48" OLED for a bit less. Even the Samsung Ultrawide OLEDs can be had for a lot less.

    • abowen on 10/04/2025 - 11:05
      +1

      It's a tough one pending on your purpose

      Gaming? Yeah, I'd go 48" or 55" and push it further back

      Work? I want those extra pixels for side by side work, and the curve so don't have warped text on the edges.

      The 57" screens look awesome but I literally can't fit it on my desk + speakers

      • nubix on 10/04/2025 - 11:25

        I'm getting this to replace the Samsung 57", my neck hurts from all the turning

      • ruddiger7 on 10/04/2025 - 11:53

        Yeah those 57"s are huge. A good ergotron desk mount and you can remove the stand and likely have room for the speakers. Though its all $$$

    • Zaptruder on 10/04/2025 - 23:34

      What are you after? More pixels, more desktop real estate, more immersion, better refresh rate? This monitor is better.

      Larger, brighter screen, reduced PPI, more TV functionality? LG 48" is the go.

      The monitor is better if you prefer to sit at your desk to use the monitor… and the TV is better if you sit about a half to a meter back from your desk…. I'm not sure of what sort of ergonomic setup that makes sense with though. Maybe get like… a mobile height adjustable pedestal desk to put your keyboard and mouse on…

    Seeing this is USD1999 in the USD I was expecting it to come in at 3k+, 2.6k is pretty decent IMO.

    Love the UW form factor and hope more competitors come along.

    • abowen on 10/04/2025 - 11:07

      Agreed. I think USA had a 15% preorder discount, which would have made it comparable to our 25% one.

      No way was paying $3.5k

          Fair enough. Added cashrewards + extra preorder discount to it.

          Could get it for $2.4k now + $200 back in future.

          If had education email, that'd be $2000. Crazy good compared to $3500 hah
          So much profit margin on these

          • Bruceflix on 10/04/2025 - 13:36

            @abowen: Cashrewards is invalid on EDU orders. $2,243.73 is cheapest I could get it through EDU

    OP, there's an 8.5% cashback at Cashrewards as well and it says the 5% pre-order bonus works with it. I just ordered mine like 5 minutes ago so I'm waiting for the Cashback to appear.

    It should bring down the price to around ~$2,250 I think.

    • abowen on 10/04/2025 - 11:23

      Interesting. I've never used Cashrewards before

      I could only get 5% coupon working with "April NPI UltraGear Monitors 5% Coupon"

      How do I get the 8.5% cashback to appear?

      • patc on 10/04/2025 - 11:29
        +1
        1. Sign in to your LG account, clear your cart
        2. Create an account in Cashrewards, search for LG, click on Shop Now. It should open a new tab for the LG website
        3. Without opening any other tabs, add the monitor, add the coupon code, pay.

        That should be it. Generally, the cashback appears in minutes or within 2 days. And the money will be available for you to withdraw within 3 months.

      Cashback came in at $188.59.

      So for a regular account, 25% preorder + 5% additional pre-register bonus + 8.5% cashback brings down the price to $2,251.

      That's not too bad considering I paid $1800 for my AW3821DW back in 2020.

    Wish this came in a 1800R curve or flat panel. 800R curve is a bit too much for my liking considering desk realestate. Otherwise the specs are great! Anything close to this with less curve? Currently using a Samsung G93SD.

          I havent seen setups with this monitor in particular, but have definitely seen setups with a curved central screen. (I have a curved main screen, but only one secondary side screen, due to OS limitation.)

          Not suggesting that you are wrong - just curious what the issue is with a curved central screen, as I havent heard this before.

            @caprimulgus: I had the Samsung 49" and it's a much shallower curve so you can have monitors on the side and they still fit in well, back far enough, align them nicely etc.

            On this monitor the curve isn't shallow, so think this monitor in the center, the extent of that curve and where your side monitors would end up.

            This is one of the few pics using side monitor. It kinda works but you can see how close that side monitor will be when hes sitting at the desk to fit in with the angle of the curve

              @Osiris: Ah right - so you just meant how steep the curve is (not all curved monitors). That makes more sense!

              Fwiw, I reckon that setup looks alright! (My side monitor is probably closer than that!) :)
