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 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 think LG 34gn850 is quite good monitor especially for creative work and photo editing. I work as frontend dev past 3-4 years and never have had expirienced any better display except probably my macbook
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.
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.
