LG - 34BL85C-B

I prefer to save money where I can if it means I can throw more cash at the important internal components (would not have a 4080S otherwise ;). If money is no object you can ignore my budget hardware opinions. If you have not yet been spoiled by super high refresh rate or super deep blacks etc from other super high end monitors/panel types. Something like my LG C34BL85C can be a really good option. Although my specific panel I do not think is available anymore. Since it is just a productivity screen not a gaming monitor it was only $400 back in 2020. But I think the color spectrum on IPS panels is not bad and 60-75hz is fine by me. I've never owned a monitor with a higher refresh rate so I don't know what I am missing. My GPU never has to work unless a game is super unoptimized. Or I can max out literally everything with RTX/frame gen/path tracing and still be at max FPS with GPU utilization not maxing out. Prices on these types of panels have dropped even further since 2020. The 34WQ60C-B is currently only $250 on LG's website at the moment and seems to be a very similar panel to the one I have. Edit: Just realized the 34WQ60C-B is a VA panel and I am not a fan of VA personally. I searched IPS but it dumped that in my search anyways. The 34WR50QC-B is an IPS 75hz curved 21:9 that is around $250 also.

My official job title is Business Analyst, but my function is essentially a form of grant writing. 90% to include reading and editing documents. My laptop and software were all provided by my employer, as well as two functional, but old, monitors. I bought the LG 34” curved monitor (on sale for $160) and it’s been a game changer for me. I don’t lose track of my cursor, c & p is easier, and I can have multiple docs up at the same time without having to minimize any of them. I’ve also found I have less head/eye aches. And my desk just feels less cluttered with one monitor as opposed to two. Also bought a basic, but wireless, mouse and keyboard.

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

If you get the 34" IPS LG, it's produced a good picture so far.

I still have a 34" LG IPS monitor, it's a good piece of equipment, and until I find the right OLED...👌

I wanted to get it - I stuck with the 34" IPS LG. But the resolution on this and the 38" screen size was super appealing.

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.

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.

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.

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
