   If you're looking for a large monitor for work, the Dell U3818DW is the best large monitor for office use that we've tested so far. This huge 38 inch screen has an impressive 3840x1600 resolution, which is great for multitasking. It has wide viewing angles, great gray uniformity, and very good reflection handling, so you shouldn't have any issues using it in a bright office.

   This monitor has some very useful features that make it much easier to work on multiple devices at once. It supports picture-by-picture, and there is a unique set of connections that allow you to work on two devices at once, even with just one keyboard and mouse. While this isn't useful for everyone, if you have a laptop and desktop computer for work it makes it much easier.

   This monitor isn't as well-suited for multimedia playback or gaming, as there is noticeable motion smearing. It also doesn't look quite as good in a dark room. Overall, though, this is the best 38 inch monitor for office use.

   If you want the best multitasking experience available, check out the Dell U4919DW. This massive 49 inch screen is the equivalent of two 27" 1440p monitors side-by-side, giving you an impressive amount of screen real-estate to work with. The larger model also has slightly better motion handling, great for gaming or watching movies, and it doesn't have the motion smearing issues of the smaller model. This massive monitor is also good for gaming, with great low input lag, but it doesn't support any of the variable refresh rate technologies like FreeSync or G-SYNC.

   Variable Refresh Rate

   : No

   If you would prefer a screen with a true 4k resolution, the LG 43UD79-B is a good 4k alternative to the Dell U3818DW. This is one of the best 43 inch monitors that delivers decent overall performance. It's well-suited for multitasking in an office setting, but the stand has limited ergonomics, so you might want to VESA mount it. It also has a great selection of inputs, so you can easily use it as a TV and connect your game consoles or media streaming device to it. Unfortunately, it isn't as good for gaming, as it has a limited 60Hz refresh rate, no variable refresh rate support, and it doesn't support HDR. Overall, though, it's a decent 4k monitor.

   The LG 34GK950F-B is the best large gaming monitor that we've tested so far. It has decent overall picture quality, with good peak brightness, good viewing angles, and excellent uniformity. It supports HDR and has decent HDR peak brightness and a good wide color gamut. It also has outstanding gradient handling, with almost no noticeable banding in any color.

   This monitor has excellent motion handling with an excellent response time, delivering clear motion with only a short blur trail behind fast-moving objects. It has an optional black frame insertion feature, which can further improve the appearance of motion, but is otherwise flicker-free. It supports FreeSync but is also compatible with recent NVIDIA graphics card.

   Finally, the LG 34GK950F-B has outstanding low input lag at its native resolution and refresh rate, but the 60Hz input lag is noticeably higher. Overall, it's a great monitor for almost any use and is a great choice for a large gaming monitor.

It supports AMD's FreeSync variable refresh rate technology, even when connected to a recent NVIDIA graphics card, and it has outstanding low input lag.

   Overall, although the LG 34GK950F-B is the best large gaming monitor we've tested so far, if you're looking for the most immersive gaming experience without a VR headset, the Samsung C49RG9 is a great alternative.

   If you want something a bit cheaper than the LG 34GK950F-B, the LG 34UC79G-B is a great alternative. Like the other LG, this monitor has a great 34" screen, but it has a lower resolution that can't display as many fine details. Despite this, it's still a great gaming monitor, thanks to the 144Hz refresh rate and FreeSync support, ensuring a smooth, tear-free gaming experience. It also has great motion handling and an optional black frame insertion feature that can reduce persistence blur.

   Overall, although it's not as good as the LG 34GK950F-B, the LG 34UC79G-B is a great gaming monitor that should please even the most demanding gamer.
