Nice. Hopefully less premium brands will make these soon to get them down to the ~$500 range. 38" a good size for 4k as 43" is too big and it's all that's available since 40" ones seem to have died out.

I think this is the perfect size, mainly because (at least for me) the PPI is in my ideal 115-120 range. Currently have 2 32" 4K monitors for work. Love the screen real estate, but the two issues are that I have the gap between the two monitors right in the center, and with 32" 4K I find myself needing to increase text size or get uncomfortably close for certain apps.

Previously had 3 25" 1440P monitors and I really liked having the center screen for my main task. The PPI on the 25" 1440P monitors was perfect, and it's slightly too high on the 32" 4K. This 38" 4K has an almost identical PPI to the 25" 1440P.

So I think I'm going to go for this as my main, with 2 of my old 25" 1440P monitors in portrait on either side. This should be the perfect setup for me. The height of the 25" 1440P in portrait is within an inch of the height of the 38" 4K, the total width of the setup would be similar to the dual 32s, and, as mentioned, the PPI is almost identical. So this should give a seamless transition between the 3 monitors. Ancillary benefit is that I could also use the main 38" for some light gaming.

If you're looking for a monitor for both productivity and gaming, I think this one is hard to beat. Like others said, I hope more companies use this panel, or develop new monitors in the 38" 4K form factor. It really is the ideal size to avoid having to increase scaling.

For reference:
32" 4K - 137.7 PPI
38" 4K - 115.9 PPI
25" 1440P - 117.5 PPI

OLED has a weird subpixel layout which makes text look pretty bad. Also has a fairly high risk of burn in on a PC vs using it as a television due to static images like your desktop.

I had 37in 1080p when it first came out bac and people use to look at that desktop playing games and be like this is amazing. I am sure this is same, I use 4K 32in now but would love to see this in person. I saw 40in 4K before and did not like it as it felt little bigger than I liked.

Been waiting for this to go on sale. Perfect size for my static images for work. 42 was too big and 32 bit too small.

Giving this monitor a try.

Has anyone tried this monitor?
By spec, it checks pretty much everything that I wanted except USB-C PD (for my work MacBook), but I couldn't find good reviews for this one.
