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.

If i have to choose like you in similar case I'd go for 57". I used to be gamer before I became a dev and for past 3 years I've been gaming maybe in total 50 hours. Current I use dual monitor setup -> 34" LG ultragear and 24" 1080p. If I have the money I'd take as much as possible more wider screen than caring that much for gaming.

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.

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.

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. 🤙

If you can find it, the 34GN850 is an excellent IPS monitor. I switched that to my office PC at the shop. Main rig at home I went with 49" Samsung Neo G9.
