LG - 34" Class 21:9 UltraWide® WQHD IPS Thunderbolt™ Curved LED Monitor

I'm a little bias. But there have been three big jumps in Ultrawide. The first 3440x1440p monitor \~2014 [LG 34UC97](https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-34UC97-S-ultrawide-monitor) 38" 3840x1600 144hz IPS \~2019 [38GL950G](https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-38gl950g-b-gaming-monitor) 45" OLED 5k2k \~2025 [lg45gx950a](https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-45gx950a-b-gaming-monitor) There was a huge gap where Oleds started to come out but not in the great 38" 3840x1600. So you had to sacrifice for OLED. Now you're getting a jump in PPI, jump in refresh rate, jump in screen size and resolution. This is what the ultrawide early adopter crowds has been waiting *years* for.

480hz, 34”, 3440x1440, OLED, 21:9

I had an IPS LG34GP83 ultrawide that was 3440x1440 and great for gaming and productivity. I was trying out some oleds before I got the 39” 3440x1440p LG OLED with the 800r curve. It was amazing for gaming, the colors everything and I could drive high fps. With that said the PPI was just way too low and coupled with oled sub pixel format and it’s just a recipe for a bad time when used for productivity. I ended up returning it even tho it was a screaming deal ($600 or so after tax). I settled on the Alienware QDOLED ultrawide as I got that for open box $500 and it’s in perfect condition. Picture looks amazing on that too, however the smaller size leads to better PPI and that mitigates some of the text issues.

Love to hear what people experience with Text Christmas on these monitors. I have an LG 34 inch curved monitor and the text is not very crisp and I find it distracting. Anybody able to compare it to a max studio display or one of the other similar ones that have 220 dpi

Damn, I should have waited those 2 years.. I bought used LG IPS 34" for the price of new DWF

If I recall correctly, the original 49" Neo G9 has full array local dimming, and is VA w/ 1ms response times. Movie watching is still more enjoyable on a 21:9, in my opinion/ experience, as it will soak up all the screen real estate. If you were willing to compromise for OLED, the upcoming 21:9 LG 45" 5k2k display sounds amazing if movies are a big second factor after productivity. For context, I have owned an IPS LG 34" UW, and currently use an OG G9. I'm sure others with more experience will chime in, thought I'd share my 2¢ anyways :3

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

Both. Ultra-wide 34" curved in the center; 27" vertical on left for email, Teams chat, windows explorer, etc.; 24" landscape upper right; laptop lower right.

I just bought the LG OLED 5K2K 45” ultrawide. I think there’s a 34” version? My last LG 34” 1440p ultrawide was great too. My last 4 monitors have been LG and they’ve been great.

Using LG 34" UWQHD at 3440x1440 (Default) 85 Hz on M1 Mac Mini. HDR off. Great picture at a usable size. Chipset Model: Apple M1   Type: GPU   Bus: Built-In   Total Number of Cores: 8   Vendor: Apple (0x106b)   Metal Support: Metal 3   Displays: LG HDR WQHD:   Resolution: 3440 x 1440 (UWQHD - Ultra-Wide Quad HD)   UI Looks like: 3440 x 1440 @ 85.00Hz   Main Display: Yes   Mirror: Off   Online: Yes   Rotation: Supported

I did just switch to a USB C to Display Port and am now at 100 Hz. Small improvement.
