Hi, picked up one of these in the sale Amazon UK to replace an LG 34UC98 which whilst still fine for most applications was getting difficult to calibrate for Lightroom. I used a Datacolor Spyder 5 pro and was pleased to see that there were no adjustments required to any of the presets on the device. I'm so used to having to spend ages going back and forth with brightness and contrasts that I assumed there was a problem and re-ran :D I've got a Win PC with a 3080 TI Ultra connected on the display port and for day to day use I have Windows display set to 125% as it just makes things a bit easier to read. When I'm wanting to use Adobe for photo proofing and photoshop etc I switch to 100% just for the detail. I also have a MacBook M3 Max which was connected to the old monitor via a CalDigit TS3+ via thunderbolt 3. The G75F doesn't have USBC/Thunderbolt in and the dock only has DisplayPort and USBC out, so I'm looking for recommends for a cable that will support full resolution as I've had no luck with a selection that I've tried to date: \- UGREEN USB C to HDMI 2.1 Cable 8K@60Hz - flat out doesn't work AT ALL. \- 8K DisplayPort to HDMI Cable 2m - 8K@60Hz - I only get 3440x1440 as default and max of 3480x2160 which is not scaled correctly. I get no options for txt size / refresh rate either \- USBC to HDMI I don't check the specs first and is only rated to 4K - basically same output as the DP>HDMI cable but for £6 rather than £20.... I don't mind paying a premium so long as it works; I'm just fed up of buying and returning cables that don't do what they claim to . Regards, and TIA.

I'm happy using a single LG 34" (3440x1440@60Hz). Enough room for 2 pages of A4 size and then some, or e.g. a PDF and some Ghostty splits. And also nice for movies. I usually use my apps in full screen mode. If I ever need more room there's still the possibility of opening the 16" MBP screen (but that happens rarely).

I use a 34 curved ips from LG. There are also mini LEDs from TCL.

If you get the 34" IPS LG, it's produced a good picture so far.

I still have a 34" LG IPS monitor, it's a good piece of equipment, and until I find the right OLED...👌

I adore my current LG monitors (2x 34” IPS, 1x 27” IPS), but they’re fairly old now, lack the OLED displays, and I’ve been concerned about upgrading cause larger form factors have had pixel density issues. This seems like the perfect mixture of size, tech, and would fix perfectly into my mixed work from home and gaming setup.

I have LG IPS 34, no complaints for either work or gaming (except for window arrangement). I was very used to dual 27, but neck turning was a problem for sure
