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.
