LG - 34" Class 21:9 UltraWide® 5K2K LED Monitor - 34WK95U-W

Yep. Fortunately Apple has told at least one person that it should definitely be working at least on the M4 Max and that they will be working to fix it. Hopefully that fix will also include the M4 and M4 Pro. I have the LG 34" 5K2K and am holding off on buying a new mini until this is resolved.

just fyi Пользуюсь lg 34wk95u-w уже лет 5, все отлично)

Get one of these 5K2K displays and thank me later. Won't need to deal with Better Display to lower resolution even further LG has two, one 34" and another 40". Dell has two generations of them as well.

This is really awesome! I currently run the older LG 34" 5k/2K as my main monitor for several years now. I'm a designer, so the widescreen comes in super handy, especially when I need to have a ton of windows open, or I'm doing After Effects work. But I kept finding myself adding a second monitor, and I just didn't love that either aesthetically, or how finicky the two monitors were with my Mac. So I'm very interested in putting this larger screen through its paces.

Thank you guys at LG I'm already on an LG 5k2k from 2019 (the 34WK95U) and still going strong at 14K hours on it. This much real-estate is the sweet spot. I've finally been able to have enough documents open at the same time. This new OLED and larger screen just makes it interesting enough for an upgrade. I'm worried for the curve since all monitors I've owned so far have been flat though... Thanks.

Going into the service menu to disable CPC and LEA helps a ton with brightness uniformity on edges and entire panel. Just sucks that you will need to change the setting every time the monitor is turned off or goes into standby.

Turn monitor off. Press joystick to left 3 times and then right 1 time. Turn monitor back on, and when you try to go into the settings, the service menu should come up instead. Turn Aging ON and then go to OLED Debug at the bottom, that will have the CPC and LEA settings. However next time the monitor is powered off or goes into standby, these settings will revert back. \*\* There is no way to turn off ABL. LEA keeps the brightness the same across the panel instead of certain areas being dimmer than the rest. CPC does turn off vignette though.

LG 34 inch ultra wide. Dell 4k 27 inch portrait positioning. PowerToys is your friend! Easiest multi monitor management system I've ever used.

And still with 21: 9, two pages of almost anything fit quite nicely side by side... I've been using a LG 34 inch ultra wide for 5 years and it's been great. Three pages side by side no problem if some of them can be squished a little bit. I'm now upgrading to a 40 inch ultrawide and hoping to fit up to four pages side by side if a little squished some of them...

I have a 34inch ultra wide from LG. I don't do this but I did test it out. From my one 14inch MacBook pro I connected to my monitor using their thunderbolt type c connection, giving power to the laptop and display to the monitor. I then connected the HDMI from monitor to laptop. My monitor has the ability to display both inputs at once in a split mode and the MacBook thinks of it as two displays. Pretty neat

I use Better Display ([link](https://github.com/waydabber/BetterDisplay)) on a 34" LG Ultrawide and unlocks a bunch of HiDPI scaled resolutions. Quality is excellent. What I'm not sure about is what spec you need to check for compatibility. For example, when I connect via HDMI I have a way smaller list of available resolutions than when I connect with USB-C.

Also a former G9 OLED user that switched to LG 5K2K, besides the weird matte coating, it’s phenomenal. I kinda have gotten over the coating now but text is still not perfect. A bit better than my G9. I adore the aspect ratio most of all, movies and content just looks right now.

I have the LG 5K2K and can also confirm the curve is actually a good thing in use and is a non-issue at 45”. It perfectly captures your peripheral vision, which removes the need to turn your head left and right to see things. I use it for my full-time job (WFH) and for gaming. For me, it’s a phenomenal monitor!

I was getting about ~60-70 fps on native resolution with my 4090 in Expeidtuon 33 at 5k2k (which is a fairly demanding game at max settings in 4k). I didn’t get a chance to try it at that resolution with my 5090 as I already packed the LG away to return. But I imagine I’d be getting 70-80 fps with the 5090. Mind you, this is native. Yeah im going to get 100+ in native with a 5090 at that resolution but im completely fine with running DLSS or frame gen where needed.

I had doubts on the 800 curve but bought the LG 5k2k. I am LOVING it. I actually forget it has a curve!

I'm on G9 OLED. 5K2K LG doesnt have better colours so its a pass. Waiting better version of QD-OLED or something that is better than G9.

I have lg ultra wide 5k2k running on Mac mini m2 pro

I have the oled version as well. I enjoy it. Provides a great image. Although I don't like having to be concerned with burn in. I also dont like the smart features. I think I'm going to end up swapping for an LG 5K2K. The 21:9 would work better in my opinion.

100% agreed nothing but problems with this monitor I can’t DP 2.1 with hdr at 165hz with a 5090. LG don’t know what’s wrong Asus doesn’t know and nvidia doesn’t either. I have the horse power like come on man. I can only get it to work if I plug a second monitor In. I can see the difference with last years model it definitely a lot sharper that last years but it’s so much of a headache to get it going. I don’t have the corner issues at all that’s super weird but I was really hoping for it to be a way better experience.

I went from an LG 32GS95UE to the LG 5K2K, zero regrets. I did buy this monitor as well (the alienware 34" AW3425DW) but I hated the glossy panel and the loss of vertical screen real estate. Returned the Alienware and decided to keep the LG 5K2K. Yes it's expensive but I'll be keeping this for at least 5 years (bought the best buy 4 year warranty that includes burn in protection). At this point, the LG 5K2K is the holy Grail of displays for me. Gaming on this thing is so immersive, played oblivion all weekend, fucking fantastic. Also I tried DLDSR on the alienware to 5k2k, it helps a bit but it is nowhere near as clear and crisp as native 5k2k on the LG 45". At the end of the day, you still only have the same amount of pixels in the panel on the 34", can't add more. Lastly, text clarity on the AW3425DW is a downgrade when coming from a 4k 32" OLED. Text clarity on the LG 5K2K is crystal clear.

I also have the same experience. It was underwhelming when I first opened it. Colors didn't pop up much as I expected and the edges of the monitor seems dimed for some reason. Maybe I was expecting the same color as vibrant as my samsung G8 QD Oled. Im still messing with the settings to match my G8 oled color vibrant.

a 4090 will almost definitely run clair obscur with dlss & framegen at the full 165hz that display can do

with a 2025 AAA game the only way you're maxing out the refresh rate on the 5k2k at max settings is with framegen. dont knock it dude - if youre pushing 80fps without it, you'll be surprised at how well it works. doesn't even feel any different to me. when you've got a solid foundation of 60-70fps+ it adds next to no input latency

I have this monitor and came from the dwf. The dwf is a fantastic monitor and I just wanted something bigger. The 45 inch with this resolution accomplishes that wish for me. I do wish it wasn't matte but I've gotten used to it

It’s a beast! And for some reason it doesn’t translate well on video and pictures. Only when you actually sit in front of it you realise how big this thing really is.

As someone who owns a G9 OLED, AW3423DW, and a LG 5k2k I will say that it all comes down to preference. Personally I rank the G9 the lowest. I don't love the format. I bought it for flight sims gaming and find that I don't use it much. It sits on a separate desk and my kids use it mostly. I love 21:9 and think the AW3423DW is the best display I have ever owned. I was a 21:9 early adopter and bought the first one ever made in 3440x1440. So I have been using the format and resolution for about a decade. As such I wanted something new. Enter the LG 5k2k. I had previously tried the 1440p version and it is comically bad. The PPI is truly awful. The 5k2k on the other hand is truly a remarkable experience. I anticipated I might return it. I don't like matte coating. I thought that 800r curve was going to be stupid. I wasn't a fan of the fact the PPI is only 126 instead of the comparable 140+ from the 32 inch OLEDs. After owning it though..... There is nothing like it. I have a 5090 so driving it isn't a problem. So for my two cents 1. LG 5k2k 2. AW3423DW (but a close second) 3. G9 (distant 3rd) I think the 32:9 format is going to die out. It just can't compare to these new bigger 21:9 https://howbigg.com/?displays=%5B%22Display+1_16x9_0_0_27_in_2560x1440_0%22%2C%22Display+2_21x9_0_0_34_in_3440x1440_0%22%2C%22Display+3_21x9_0_0_45_in_5120x2160_0%22%2C%22Display+4_32x9_0_0_49_in_5120x1440_0%22%5D

I got LG 5k to replace my Neo G9 49 QLED.  Great size / curve. HDR looks fantastic in games, but that’s about it.  Desktop colors / clarity is not impressive. I don’t think the mate finish is to blame.  Also I really dislike looking at white text / white background on it. Does something to my eyes. Unpleasant monitor. 

My sweet spot was for a long time a 49” Neo G9. 32:9 provided so much additional space in games, I could really enjoy the widescreen. Wanted to switch to OLED, but lack of G9 OLED brightness and curve made me hesitate. 21:9 was no option because I wanted a bigger screen, not just a narrower one. Found the Lg 5k2k and fell for it. Narrower, without loosing pixels, higher, with additional screen space. Once I heard that my 4090 will be enough to power most of the games, I decided to get one, as soon as they’ll ship in my country.

Matte is the problem of what the op is mentioning man people just keep saying lg is the best but ignoring that matte does dim the actual picture, gives a grainy look, and dosent make colors pop as much. I really don’t get what LG was thinking on this one

I just switched to this monitor from my C2 and I do miss the glossy. I love the curve and 21:9 aspect ratio though - the C2 always felt too tall when it was right in front of my face..

Neither the included DP cable nor the Silkland certified cable I bought from Amazon work with this monitor if DP 2.1 is enabled. It DID work with my old 4090 but not with my 5090 so I'm using HDMI until there's a fix.

I am also going from the PG32UCDM to the LG 5K2K, I hope I can handle that curve and matte display tho. What are you going to do with your ROG monitor?

I have the LG 5K2K and I'm using my 4090 to run it. No issues for me and 4090 handles this display really well. I get roughly 70 FPS on 2077 with DLSS (Quality) and Frame Gen + MAX Settings which is more than enough for me. The same settings got me \~100 FPS on my previous AW3423DW

The LG 5K2K on my desk is such big step up from the LG 38” UW IPS. I’m spending way too much time on gaming since I upgraded. Love it!

I had a 38inch lg before, 3840*1600 on a 5080 OC. Now the 5k2k. In cyberpunk I noticed a 20 FPS drop, but still above 120 FPS in basically everything. I didn't run any before and after benchmarks. I wanted a bigger screen and resolution as well as oled. So any drop is acceptable to me. Also yes, I run dlss and FG as so far I have not noticed any artifacts myself. I guess it really depends on how picky you are and if you tend to "look for" those frame differences or artifacts.

I also jumped from a G9 to 5k2K and honestly... I was getting tired of the lack of support 32:9 was getting. 21:9 is just way more supported and not have to depend on avg people providing mods to enjoy my games.. Loving it.

I found the curve to be great and just as immersive as the G9 My test run of game of choice was Diablo 4/POE2, Ascent, Mass Effect LE and Doom Eternal. It was wonderful and didn't feel like a step back from my old G9 with the 1000r Curve to the 800r Curve. The more vertical real estate can't be understated. It add to the experience. I wouldn't go back.

I had to tweak the sharpness to get it right. When I got mine. It was ugly over sharpen.

The only thing that I don't like is the picture setting out of the box was all over the place which wasn't an issue with the G9. Which was flawless out of the box for me. It was over sharpened and black levels washed out. Easy fix tho.

The LG 5k2k monitor is what I consider an endgame monitor for gaming. I dont expect to replace it for at least 10 years.

Its true it's limited to 165 hz in 4k. I can't remember what it is in QHD, but at FHD I know it can get 330 hz, so yeah that's a huge negative for the LG monitor. 165 Hz is good enough for me, but might be too low for OP as well.

Returned mine, the size difference going back to 34" after 2 weeks of 45" is jarring but atleast colors are much much better, and yellows appear true again. Stand by my earlier comments, WOLEDs need to die so all focus can go on improving QD-OLEDs like the black depth issue in ambient light. Update: Yeah once you see QD-OLED there is no going back to WOLED, I advise any one tempted by this on a QDOLED currently to avoid it unless resolution trumps all. Also shows how much ahead of it's time the AW3423DW actually was a little over 3 years

Ditto, uniformity is not up to par with QD OLED, WOLEDs frankly need to die. Waiting on my return label.

Yea figured it out, thanks, still not as good as my AW34 color or uniformity wise so will return it unless LG never send a label and I win the CC dispute by default.

I also find the LG 5k2k to be fantastic. Great colors, great features and great curve. Love it.
