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 wanted to get it - I stuck with the 34" IPS LG. But the resolution on this and the 38" screen size was super appealing.

Lg 34 and 38 ultrawides still have one of the best IPS panels up to date for general multi purpose use. I have had LG 38 IPS for few years now and I will upgrade to LG 39 oled 5k2k eventually.

I have a 32 in curved 3440x1440 UW LG and I ended up setting up my 1080P monitor again beside it for screen sharing and music playlist control. WHY NOT BOTH?!
