InnoLux Hopes 38-inches is the New 32-inches for 4K Gaming Monitors

[TheLostSwede]

There's no shortage of ultra wide 38-inch panels in the market, but InnoLux is hoping that there's a market for a 38-inch 4K panel in the more traditional 16:9 aspect ratio. The panel is based on InnoLux Azimuthal Anchoring Switch technology, also known as AAS, which is an IPS like panel type. The panel supports up to 144 Hz refresh rate, as well as a 5 ms grey to grey response time, in other words, very similar to smaller 4K IPS based displays.

Other features include support for HDR 600—which seems to be slowly replacing HDR 400 as the standard in the mid-range gaming monitor space—and support for 98 percent of the DCI-P3 colour gamut. For those wanting some more tangible measurements, the active area of the panel measures 841 x 473 mm (rounded to nearest full digit), suggesting it's a full 20 centimeters wider and roughly 15 centimeters taller than your average 27-inch 4K display panel.

Might be the panel used for ASUS 38" display that showed up some time ago in Korea.

Speaking of which, any interesting 21:9 offerings? LG still hasn't introduced a new variant of their 38" ultrawide panels and 38GN950 is listed as discontinued with 38GN950P-B having limited availability in EU.

Could well be, I figured I had seen something, but I couldn't find anything that had launched that wasn't ultrawide.

Not a single 21:9 panel from AUO or InnoLux at the show.

One can always hope, but 27" 1440p is my new 24" for gaming.

I can't go back from 4K...
I wish I could, because it would make gaming more affordable, but for work, 4K is unbeatable.

I currently use 4 monitors at home and I really don't see myself moving away from that. One in portrait 3 in landscape, 27 inch is great for that and I have no desire for anything larger.

I’d get one if they made it 16:10

Ooo, give me a built-in KVM & this would be ideal for a work-first, casual gaming second monitor. I currently have a 42" 4k & 32" 4k. 32" is too small for 4k for productivity imho, & 42" is a little big for it.

42" was too big for me to use long term without a giant setup, but i can kinda see 38" in 16:9 working
obviously for them it's about cheaper panels, but it might take off.


After 32" at 4K, i dont wanna downsize in DPI any time soon.

Do you use 100% scaling at 32" 4k? I found it just a little bit too small so ended up using 125%, which then of course means your real estate is reduced. I think a 38" 4k would be pretty ideal for 100% scaling.

hmmmmm..............

I'd rather have dual 24". The single 27" I have hogs most of the desk.

150%
It matches a 32" 2560x1440p perfectly (And i do mean perfectly, to the pixel and shows that as 2D resolution in things like youtube)

I dont need more real estate than that, I can run 2x or 4x windows on each display with everything legible and usable for researching those spammy posts i make here

Haha, the true definition of productivity! I found 1440p too small to really usefully split the screen, but I find I need more information in front of me because I forget it so fast if it's not visible. That said, I don't think 4k at 100% scaling quite gives enough space to usefully split windows either so maybe I'm the problem!

Smaller res it may not work, but 32" it works because text can be smaller and legible vs 1440p on the same display

I could likely use 125% just fine, but I genuinely enjoy that things match up when i add in my 1440p panels to the setup for any reason - other than the fact they look grainy in comparison, it's very easy to swap in/out displays issue free

Text can be smaller & legible, but you said it's exactly the same? Oh do you mean you can zoom out on e.g. a webpage to say 90% & therefore have smaller text, but still be as clear as a native 1440p? That's certainly true. I guess it's more the UI elements & things which don't zoom out as nicely as just text where the problems can lie.

at 150% they're the same size, that doesnt mean smaller text isn't easier to read on the 4K displays
