Solution

I've been using the LG 38WK95C-W for a few months now and I couldn't be happier with it. The resolution is amazing, especially when playing games like The Witcher 3 - everything just looks so crisp and clear!

I also have this monitor and I must say that it's great for gaming. The response time of 5ms works really well in fast-paced games like CS:GO. It's definitely worth the investment.

That sounds awesome! Do you guys think the refresh rate would be enough for a smooth gaming experience?

Yeah, I'd say so. I've never had any issues with lag or stuttering on this monitor. The 75Hz refresh rate is good enough for me and my friends who also have this monitor.

I agree with @cottonmouthbob. I haven't experienced any lag or stuttering either. Plus, the IPS panel provides great color reproduction which really makes games pop!

True, it's not only about the response time and refresh rate but also the quality of colors and image displayed on the screen. The 99% SRGB color coverage is a big plus for me.

Thanks for all the input! I think I'll go ahead and get one. Just to clarify, does anyone need a high-end graphics card to fully take advantage of this monitor's capabilities?

Yes, you're right @IgnisDeveloper. A high-end graphics card is necessary to reach the full potential of this monitor, especially for demanding games like The Witcher 3.

Exactly! But even with my mid-range GPU, I'm still very happy with the performance I get from this monitor. It's definitely worth the investment if you can afford it.

That's true. It's always great to have a high-end graphics card for optimal performance, but you can still enjoy a fantastic gaming experience even with a mid-range GPU.

Alright, thanks everyone! I'll keep that in mind and go ahead with my purchase. Looking forward to getting this monitor and enhancing my gaming setup!
