LG - 34" UltraGear™ 21:9 Curved HDR Gaming Monitor - 34GN850-B

I also now have the LG 34GN850, which has 1900R and its amazing! Maybe not ideal for productivity, since it has no builtin KVM, PBP or PIP, but i dont really need that, so theres that. But the curve is ideal for me, since it also doesnt take up that much space on the desk. Also, no more ghosting!

i use lg 34gn850 for both past 3 years and I'm quite happy. Work as frontend developer.

I do mostly web development and I do have LG 34gn850 which has great colors and great performance for its money. But, sometimes I wish my monitor to has bigger vertical resolution, because it feels a bit narrow for working, other times I wish to have wider horizontal resolution like 5120x1440p or even more. Maybe somewhere in the middle will be my sweet spot. If I do have the money I'd go for as big as posible screen with high refresh rate and higher resolution. Last but not least choose the right curvature of the screen that will suits you best for your needs and preferences.

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.

For immersion in adventure games or racing get the 39. If PPI matters get the 34. What made me return the 39 and get the 34 was the fringing and how everything looks stretched. In competitive games you will noticed a bunch of artifacts, jagged edges, and text fringing. Dota 2 for example, after a match I was so exhausted that I couldn't even look at the screen anymore. Same for Age of Empires.

I went with a 34 1440p over the 32 4k. I had this exact dilemma and got the 32 4k first 240hz. My graphic card was 4090 and it looked great but fps was under 100 all the time. Switched to the 1440p 34 240hz and absolute love the switch. I get like 160hz+ and it’s so smooth and beautiful when playing cod and Diablo

Have this exact request and it's infuriating. All recommendations are just discontinued stuff that's no longer available as of about mid this year. The few ultrawide IPSes that remain all have either insufficient refresh rates/response times and/or ghosting issues. Hell I've seen recommendations on here for monitors like the LG 34GN850-B or Gigabyte M34WQ within the last 30 days, despite the fact that none of them are available anymore.

All discontinued, out of support and no longer available through regular vendors.

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

This model is 5 years old. I am still using it and also looking for an upgrade...

What about the viewing angles? I had an S3422DWG from Dell as well and color and gamma shifts were obvious from almost any angle. Additionally, the panel had some serious VRR flicker. Black Smearing was also noticable in some games, e.g. Neon Abyss. Had to return it and got the LG 34GN850 instead because it had none of these issues apart from poor contrast. I am still looking to find an upgrade till this day...

Yeah... got mine... maybe a slightly different model of that one back in 2020 or 2021 and I just can't justify an upgrade. Going to give it a few more years. Or bring it into my office and be that guy at work.

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
