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

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

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.

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

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.

LG 34GN850-B would be/was my choice. Might be able to find one for a bit more than $300.

The LG and the gigabyte M34Q are the best deals right now and best IPS performance per cost

Ive own a 34 inch ultrawide (LG 34GN850) and now a 42" C4 and the C.s bigger screen is just more immersive to me.

I've been using a LG 34GN850-B that I picked up last Black Friday for something like $280 or so if I'm remembering correctly. Not sure what they're going for now or if stock even exists. That said, for the price, it's a hell of a monitor. UWQHD, 144Hz (160Hz OCed). It's years old tech at this point and not perfect, of course, but at the price I was able to pick it up I think it's a steal for what it offers.

Short of spending substantially more and going OLED I'm not sure I could have hoped to do too much better. Yeah, black levels are raised, obviously, it's an IPS panel. But it's got brightness to spare (I'm running 30% I think?), which is plenty useful when one's setup has to deal with elevated levels of ambient light. No doubt, when I upgrade next I'll almost certainly move to an OLED panel, or some relative equivalent. I can certainly appreciate advantages on offer as someone with a much-loved OLED-centric 4K UHD home media setup. But damn, I simply couldn't find another option at the price that could beat it when all the variables (size/resolution/refresh/panel tech/etc.) were factored. That's not to say that alternative doesn't exist, simply that the time I allotted to research on this one component didn't reveal it at the time. 🤙

Ha, I am on a LG 34GP83A-B since 2020. Sister monitor to yours. And yeah that just sounds like buggy firmware if it bugged out like that at lower refresh too.

I am currently using a LG 34GN850-B which is 34" 1440p, 144hz. I would say a 37", 4k resolution, and 144+hz would be the sweet spot in 2025.

I only wanted ips i plan to keep my monitor for more than the warranty period lol, i got the lg 34gn850 , its pretty sweet, 34 inch, curved just enough, 165 refresh

I was in the same boat and ordered both. Ive got the asus VG34VQL3A VA right in front of me playing RDR2 and a Dell Alienware AW3423DWF OLED watching Stream. My 34GN850P-B IPS will arive tomorrow. Already got one but it was DOA. I can tell you 2 things about the OLED and VA: 1. The VA has terrible VRR Flicker and I had to disable it because it gave me headaches. Bright areas always flicker regardless of FPS. It flickers with 40 and with 140. Common problem with this Panel but everything else is superb for VA. You have to sit straight in front of it for having its color shine bright. I like this one a lot but the VRR sucks ass. 2. The OLED has terrible fringing on text. Its barely noticable on white text with bright background but white text on black background is a pain to read. VRR flicker is not that bad and limited to grey-ish areas when running below 57fps. Will not keep it since the text fringing is driving me nuts. Feel free to AMA

I got it this morning and so far I like this the most. The only downside is the IPS black which of course is even brighter than the VA Panel but it's really only noticable on completely black scenes. The colors are great, response time is awesome and somehow the real g-sync feels way smoother than FreeSync on the other displays. Text is perfectly fine to read and MUCH clearer than the OLED Display. The one display which arrived DOA had less backlight bleeding than the one I am using currently but again thats only visible in black scenes. I would not recommend this display if you are watching a lot of movies but all in all its the best of the three I tested for gaming combined with office use. I would have kept the VA if it hadn´t had the VRR flicker but the IPS is superior in this regard so I gotta go with the LG IPS

Look on walmart for refurbished models of that panel. I got one and works well for sub $300.

Win win then. GL and happy gaming.

[LG 34 GN850-P](https://www.lg.com/uk/monitors/gaming/34gn850p-b/?srsltid=AfmBOormVOt9usyCtS7FBZ-AlaL2o4587Ck-tcJBtKZCiYK5dR7tYpR6) this is what I use, and yeah I bought it as soon as it came out basically, so it was like $989 plus tax at microcenter, but...maybe im getting old (33), maybe my eyes are just shitty but i'm having a hard time replacing it even all these years later.

Im using an LG 34GP83A-B with a gaming pc and a work laptop. Laptop is connected to a tb dock. No kvm but im using a usb switch and manually change the display input when i need to.

In the end I opted for an used LG 34GN850 that I found for around 270$, seemed the safer option

Alla fine ho trovato un LG 34GN850 usato su subito attorno ai 270 euro, ti consiglierei di andare sul sicuro anche andando sull'usato

Few years ago I got LG UltraGear 34GN850-B ultrawide. For gaming I can't imagine now playing on a regular monitor. Ultrawide is still improvement over regular monitor for work but here 2 monitors would still be better. Btw for all the years of playing on ultrawide there was only 1 indie game where I was forced to play with black bars and 16:9 resolution - Zero Sievert. Games are working fine. If a game doesn't support ultrawide there is a program - Flawless Widescreen that you have to turn on before starting the game. In other case you need HxD to edit exe file and replace 1 value, and that's it. I've been playing games like The Witcher from 2007 or Gothic from 2001 without issues in ultrawide resolutions.

LG 34GN850 Asus ROG Strix XG349C Some of 144Hz+ 34' UWQHD curved IPS monitors if you want IPS route. Older ones so if you manage to find them. I have LG 34GN850P-B and it is awesome monitor. I had VA before and VRR flicker is reason why I will never get VA again and reason why I do not want to go OLED route. I simply can not tolerate even slightest VRR flicker.

Hey i went through the same pain 6 months ago. I was looking for a 34” ultrawide I would mostly use for programming that would also be really good for occasional gaming. I knew it would be best to get an ips because I didn’t want to spend 700-1000€ euro on an oled that pretty much would have an expiration date because of burn in and I didn’t want to have a monitor I would have to baby all the time. Like thinking about putting it to sleep the moment I don’t use it, hide the status/task bar… The only good ips that fit the description was the lg 34gn850. I knew it would be good because I had pretty much the same monitor but in 27”. I went with that and I’m very happy. That’s what I would recommend if you can find it.

34gn850. It’s currently on sale on Walmarts website for $399.

Od prawie 3 lat mam LG UltraGear 34GN850-B, (chociaż pewnie już wyszła nowa generacja). Od siebie polecam, pracuje z rysunkami technicznymi więc ultrawide świetnie się sprawdza. Jednak uwaga na matrycę ips przy zakrzywionych ekranach, w jasnym pomieszczeniu może dawać drobne odbicia.

I have one 34 inch from LG and another 32 inch as second screen Vertically placed next to it. I‘m confused why people go Ultrawide as dual screen users and don’t get a second screen there as well, even if it is a cheap 24 inch.

No i have the 34GN850P-B Yours are the one with VA Panel right?

That's a shame, I got that one from walmart too when prime day was happening (walmart had some competing sale going on).

You have to go the second hand route if you want IPS for ultrawide at a reasonable price cause companies stopped making them and everything that's new still out there is marked up price wise crazy high. I'd take my chances with a refurb like this one over a new VA though. Good price too. [https://www.ebay.com/itm/126191](https://www.ebay.com/itm/126191801699?_skw=34+inch+IPS+ultrawide&epid=3038232083&itmmeta=01K03546NZRVKZ2JAM4SXBABM9&hash=item1d619e1563:g:3sEAAOSw0aBkYCp-&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA0FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1cD9bx%2Bts%2FihF67CKHdBzRZEUwfF6R5BXfGkUypjqz3Jp6fNutFkpz5zZjAtbENdQLmx2jbAVJQEkpC%2FDkeLEqtOHCH%2B%2BhQmEFx31CpmN8istq6rnn2edccyzO%2BxDJR61P5Id%2BD98V1tuxYQZuKZFblMbJJlU5iUfHjDwCIOdDbQ%2FsFf6oYK%2FrZyHAcmItQn2NyKocr6JCxAd%2FyqlZDqzRKX6IcBDDWVoP8pYlphHJDrNMrkOvueOAl9Q7jyUiD2Yo%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR47rkOWAZg)

You just missed out on Walmart's $329 black Friday deal for the LG 34GN850B. It's still available, but for $399 now. It's one of the only (if not the only) curved/IPS/1440p/144+hz monitors on the market (curved ips is the hard part to find). There's also another LG model, basically the same specs, 34GP83A-B, but it's neigh impossible to find (new). Same with the 34GP950G-B. If you don't mind VA, then you have a lot more options, but i have a feeling your "good color quality" requirement is leaning towards IPS.

Fwiw...I had the same exact search criteria as you. I almost pulled the trigger on the walmart BF deal for the 34gn850. But I happened to find a used one on Facebook marketplace for $200. One could say i should've spent the extra $130 for a new/warrantied one...but um, yeah, I used that for a second monitor * Now I have an LG 27 flat ips 1440p portrait (for docs/chat) next to my new-to-me 34 ultrawide curved ips 1440p 144hz. Needless to say, I'm happy

I have number 11 the ips 34incher (34gn850-b), got it on sale in November for 400$. I'm very pleased with it, not overdoing brightness and using the rtings icc profile really makes it look good.

ive got the UltraGear 34GN850P, and its good theres also the Dell UltraSharp U3425WE, but i dont know how good it is same for the HP 734pm

the LG 34GN850P is the top choice i think theres also HP 734pm, Dell UltraSharp U3425WE, Lenovo ThinkVision P34WD-40 think thats more or less ALL. ive got the LG and can recommend it

I am currently using a LG UltraGear 34GN850-B and a LG C9 55" OLED TV. I have been switching between them for gameplay and watching movies and both do this fine but each of them has its own benefits. I've always thought about a sweet spot between those two and the LG UltraGear 5K2K GX9 45" looked like it! I have always been a fan of Ultrawide and even multi-monitor Eyefinity and nVidia Surround since 2009 and had such a setup until I got the 34" UltraGear 34GN850-B. When I want a bigger picture and OLED magnificence, I put the monitor aside and use the TV which is installed on the wall behind it in front of my desk and that is a big hassle but it is worth the effort all the time. I used to be a professional reviewer for GPUs specifically and also audio gear and other PC parts but don't recall reviewing a monitor. My GPU reviews even used to have multi-monitor benchmarks! The reviews were for the Arab region in the Middle East and were in Arabic but some parts are in English like charts. Here are 2 of them: [https://araboverclockers.net/hd6900-multi-gpu-scaling-performance-with-single-and-3-monitor-review/](https://araboverclockers.net/hd6900-multi-gpu-scaling-performance-with-single-and-3-monitor-review/) [https://araboverclockers.net/sapphire-hd-6870-dirt3-edition-review/](https://araboverclockers.net/sapphire-hd-6870-dirt3-edition-review/) I can write reviews in both English and in Arabic for Middle Eastern audience since I am a professional translator. Thanks!

>I'm looking for a 34 inch ultrawide monitor preferably IPS, but I don't think those exist. They do. There are like 100 of them. You just have to Google it. The LG 34gn850-B is a very popular model. >all the budget 34 inches are 1440p, and I can't afford 4k Virtually all 34" monitors are 1440p. There are very very few 5k2k 34" monitors. Most 5k2k are 39/40/45". >so is 1440p good at this size? Again you could just Google "34" 3440x1440 PPI" and see it's 110. Which is a good number. The same as a 27" 1440p monitor. It's good. You won't notice any pixels from a normal distance

Fair enough. An IPS ultrawide seems like a fair choice. Something like the LG 34GP83A-B.

I guess there are no objective sweet spots, but it sure seems like a sweet spot for my setup and use cases. While I love my 34GN850-B, it still feels like it lacks screen space when working or watching movies. This monitor could easily replace two of my current setup. The only thing keeping me from byuing an OLED is the subpar text rendering which would impact my work, but I guess with this ppi this should not be a problem anymore. And the difference between my current 1800R and the new 800R is just mental.

I've had an LG 34GN850-B 34" 21:9 monitor for \~5 years now and have really enjoyed it for the most part, but yesterday it started randomly flickering and showing vertical banding around the edges and I fear it needs to be replaced. I use the monitor for both work and gaming, though I've only got a RTX 3080 and have no immediate plans to upgrade. The devices I connect are a Windows PC, M1 MacBook Air, and M3 MacBook Pro. I was initially going to pick up the MSI MPG 341CQPX QD-OLED 34" 21:9, but while I was browsing around for alternatives I came across the 31:9 variant, the MSI MPG 491CQPX. Going for the extra width is pretty tempting, but my 21:9 already feels pretty huge and I worry it would be overwhelming for me, my 3080, or both. I'm curious if other folks have gone from Ascended to ASCENDED and gone back, or if I'm overthinking it and bigger really is better.

Yes, the lg 34GN850-B is a good one. In US, the brand new one is around $700, so an OLED price tag. 300€ is good price.

I like watching media on my monitor as well and the extreme curve does it no favors. I also have the DWF Alienware I'll stack on top of it and it has a 1800r, I need both monitors to have the same curve otherwise it won't work well together. Currently my DWF is on bottom and I have the LG 34gp83ab on top of that. Looks awesome so I'd like to keep that aesthetic

I got the LG 34GN850P and I am happy as someone can be with IPS panel HDR is well, nice but I only ran it on NoMansSky yet under win10 Would have liked to have a full array local dimming mini LED monitor, tested a Flat one in this screenresolution and size, Picte was mindblowing, but the thickness of the display was huge and in combination with its stand I could not make it work on my desk.

I have two LG ultrawide hooked up to the base mini: one LG 34WL500 with 1080p and a 34GN850P with 1440p. both run with max refresh rate. One is connected to the hdmi, the other with a thunderbolt-to-displayport cable. Works fine for me.

Just ordered the lg 34gn850. It doesn't have the productivity features but it has great gaming performance and brightness and it's fairly cheap at 500e. Without increasing the price I had to pick if I want more than 60hz and 1ms or usb c power delivery and kvm. I picked gaming performance.

LG 34GN850-B (34" 3440x1440 144Hz G-Sync) with an EVGA 2060 Super XC Ultra. Pretty much only used for iRacing and ATS. It's a dedicated sim rig. I have a separate main gaming rig for playing everything else.

I personally own an Ultrawide 34” LG 34GN850-B since 2021 and I love it. I would not be able to go back to standard screens and I enjoy the curve so much. I use it for playing and entertainment connected to my personal Windows PC, but I also use it connected to a MacBook for work. Due to Mac limitations having an Ultrawide is a productivity power up that more people should consider. For those reasons 330hz at 3440x1440p on anything between 34" and 40" can be the sweet spot, as it gives the perfect balance of comfort, but also view distance based on the "depth" of the desk. This 45" new screen with amazing specs can be overkill or not easy to enjoy because of the size and games' resolution, so I am curious to try it and see if it's a serious upgrade from my actual set up, or maybe too much for my desk and GPU.

If you’re looking for a used monitor I’m selling my LG UltraGear 34GN850-B.AUS 34". I just upgraded to OLED and I have no use for my old Ultrawide. I was gonna put it on hardware sales but saw your post. Shoot me a message if you’re interested.

I think this is it for me, chief. Decent price and I can grab the Best Buy warranty. I'm nervous about OLED but I really want a decent ultrawide after getting a taste with an LG 34GN850. I can't go back to 16:9.

Yep it’s pretty great. Saw them going for like $600 CAD recently. Amazing buy right now.

LG 34GN850 is IPS, although it doesn’t play nice with macOS so keep that in mind

I managed to find a "referbed" one on ebay for $280+tax a couple weeks ago. Said referb, but it was BNIB and had zero power on hours. They're out there, but they're hard to find. Here's the [listing](https://www.ebay.com/itm/126191801699) I got mine from, but it's $535 now. In my case, OLED was a no-go since my workstation pulls double duty for engineering work when I WFH via a KVM setup, and my last monitor was VA and was waaaaaay too dim for where I have my setup.

Yea, definitely a massive risk, but it paid off. 3440x1440 IPS is basically unobtanium

LG34GN850 / LG 34GP83A if you want an IPS option, I have it and love it, it's from 2020, but when I was looking for a IPS UW 2 years ago, this was the best one for me.

Given how much I play PoE, I ended up going for an IPS panel (LG34GN850) as OLED burn in would 100% be a thing with Life & Mana globes. If you're ok with that, AW3425DW or the LG 45inch 5k2k

Right now I have the 34gn850, and since I started sim racing I feel like the 45 inch would really be the sweet spot. As far as refresh rate goes, at least 144hz, anything above that is just a bonus. 5k for a resolution seems to be the best as GPUs already struggle without DLSS/FSR. The new monitor seems great, and being oled should be incredible!

This is the one I'm using as well. No complaints aside from the usual IPS glow and backlight bleed. Great colors and responsiveness. For around 500€ it's a very good deal IMHO. Before that I had the 34GK950F (which I unfortunately broke) which cost around 1100€ and the 34GN850 feels like the same monitor with a much better responsiveness and less motion blur.

Thank you for the update. I was also able to test both this and the LG 39 OLED over the weekend. I have been using the LG ultra gear ultrawide 34" IPS for the past 2 years and I have always loved LG products but Asus takes the cake here. The only downside on the Asus 39 OLED is the lack of HDR calibration even after the firmware update the colors look washed out a bit. I tried different online guides for color calibration but I haven't found the one that I would settle for. I will do more research on that once I have more time. Right now I'm rocking it on SDR Cinema Mode and Oh My! it looks amazing. I wish I had more space to do side by side comparison with the LG one but I found the Asus better in every aspect from build quality to image quality (even though the OLED on Asus is made by LG), for some reason text appear better on Asus, Built-in speakers, KVM switch, Aesthetics, better out of the box mode selects, more OLED care options, $250 cheaper, and last but not the least 3 year warranty instead of 2 from LG. At $750 its a steal if you ask me. Unfortunately, my LG monitor arrived with a red tint on right side of the screen. Basically it was an WOLED defect. Not counting this in the comparison of course but just something to note that this can also happen.

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

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.

Well everyone, after 5 years with my LG 34 in 144 Hz Ultrawide.... I have found my new baby for the next 5 years

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

Same exact scenario, used a 34” LG for 10 years, bought the 5K2K the second it went live. Absolutely love it, so immersive at my sitting distance, id never go smaller at this point.

I have neither of those monitors. I use a old LG 3440x1440 34". That only has 108ppi resolution while the mentioned 5k2k displays have 140ppi. However, MacOS has scaling problems with everything that is not "retina" resolution, so everything below ~200ppi. I find the text to be a bit blurrier on non-Apple displays compared to Windows. But you get used to it. Also the built-in window management is complicated, sluggish and not really suitable for ultrawide monitors, you'll want additional software like Better Touch Tool or Rectangle.

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.

Just bought the LG one last week. Happy with the purchase.

Just bought the LG one from Amazon Renewed for even more of a discount and I'm happy with it so far

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

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.

I went from a 34" curved LG ultrawide to a 55" TV. I like the TV way better, but I think a 49" ultrawide monitor would work even better because then my 24" DDU that I have above my TV would be lower and could be more easily seen. Of course a 57" ultrawide monitor would be even better. Lol.

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

34". All the way. We have had AOC x 2 with zero issues, great monitor. My lad is currently on an LG 34" which seems to be fine, little bit of bleed. My daughter is also on a 34" Viewsonic, i'm on a 49" uw. My two main gaming buds are also 34". Both with 3060s. For gaming, gotta be 34" curved, it's a beautiful thing. Imo, i would stay away from nzxt myself.

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

I have an LG 34 inch Ultrawide. I am a programmer and it works for me. I wanted KVM, atleast 65w PD (it has 90) and be able to have 2 screens side by side. The resolution could be much better as I am used to my MBPs 4k screen but it doesn't come in the way of writing code.

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.

Uso 2 ultrawides da LG de 34, eu acho que é isso kkkkkkk

Não estou perto agora, mas para programação me atende bem melhor

I am already blown away by the lg ultragear 3440x1440 that I got last year because of the immersion . Since then I don't use anymore my 4k 65 lg oled for gaming. So I really think 5k 45 inches is the sweet spot for gaming. I can't wait too see the 5k2k 45 inches and share this great moment with others. De plus je serai en mesure de faire le test non seulement en englais mais aussi en français! 👍

I own the UW1440p and it's an excellent monitor for gaming. I also play FPS shooters and have essentially the same computer (5070Ti instead of 9070XT), and it's a perfect monitor for that. Having said that, since you can find both for similar prices, I'd probably go with the 5k2k. You guys can always pop in a 5090 or whatever is king down the road, and AM5 will be supported for years.

I'm not OP, but I use mine exclusively for gaming. Perfect balance of performance and quality for the games I play. And yeah, I would not use it for work or text heavy stuff. My Dell 5k2k sits next to it for that stuff 😅

I use a cheaper end LG 3440x1440 monitor connected to a 2019 MBP as my daily driver. Zero issues at all, no blurry text

this is my thought…. I have a 3440x1440 LG that works great with my 4070ti but I can unfortunately tell the difference between 1440p and my old 4K. I’d be fine taking the performance hit until I can upgrade my GPU hopefully the 6070 or 6070ti will be able to run 4k

I miss mine, to an extent. The second they release this monitor with a 1000r curve screen I'm ditching my LG ultragear 21:9 for it.

Been an avid 21:9 user for like 4yrs and can't go back, only drawback is that I'm still in the OG 3440x1440 group and want a bit more crispiness to the text (OLED) and a smidge more screen real-estate. So far I've had the LG UltraGear, the Alienware one, then the Samsung G8 (current). Been eyeing a 5k 2k for a long time and curious to hear other reviews (if I get sent one LG, I will deep dive so hard into the things that I look for in a panel so be warned lol). OLED brightness, HDR, VRR, color banding are things that are very important to nail so praying ya'll nailed it. I used a Dell 32:9 (forget the model) and returned it within a week. Tried to make it work, but didn't like that it's a huge performance hit for the added peripheral you technically never use and for normal day to day, hurts my neck moving windows around. And thats before I get into getting games to do 32:9 was a nightmare vs 21:9. So sweet spot if you're a gamer imho is 21:9 -- perfect FOV to performance for modern mid-high end+ GPU's.

Msi is cheaper compared to LG alwell. It is 140hz while lg is 160hz.

Get the MSI one. I had to get the LG ultragear because MSI wasn't available at my location.

You wont notice the difference between 144hz and 165hz I found LG decent enough as well.
