LG - 34GP950G-B

34GP950G-B user here (also bought it used approx. 2 years ago), I can recommend it. Probably one of, if not the best "old" IPS ultrawides before the OLED craze started.

My recommendations are this two: - LG UltraWide 49WQ95C 49“ 32:9 5120x1440 @ 144Hz IPS (5ms⚡️) - LG UltraWide 34GP950G 34“ 21:9 3440x1440 @180Hz IPS 1ms (my actual Monitor) I got nearly 20 Monitors the last 5 years and these two are the both best i got. The 49“ is absolute perfect for work and 3rd person gaming. The only two reasons I return it are the 144hz (not enough) and the 5ms GtG color switching. At test ufo it has a little bit of ghosting. It was too annoying for extremely fast 1st person shooters and movements. My actual monitor is the 34“ monitor, because it’s perfect for gaming (crystal clear). For working it is better than 1 monitor but can’t replace 2x 16:9 monitors if I go excel nerd level 😄 My pc got a rtx 4090 with Liquid Metal and oc, but here is the actual problem..I don’t want to go low settings on a fantastic monitor with 360hz etc. A 4090 reaches both monitors maximum Hz frequencies by +-3 fps on all ultra settings in AAA games. If you want Samsung 5120x1440 @ 240hz, lower you picture quality.. but there is the next problem.. the rtx 4090 is the most powerful graphics card and there are no DisplayPort 2.0 / 2.1 monitors out yet that uses full potential of 80gbit bandwidth - DP 2.0 = 5120x1440@360hz 4:4:4 colors @ 10 bit = 80gbit 5120x1440 is 48% more pixels than 3440x1440, so in theory 144fps @ 32:9 is about 214fps @ 21:9 (but games don’t scale linear, so it’s less than 200fps) 😄 What about oled? It is absolutely no option. The pixel structure (WOLED and QD-OLED) ist that damn hard to read text on with that green and red borders, I can’t use the for office work without headache in 15 minutes. And the brightness of just 250nits and burn in by static images is relevant. No one out there uses oled for work! Everyone for gaming only and that’s fantastic, but now for our usecase. Why I don’t recommend Samsung? They got ugly as hell back light solutions (look rtings.com) and the Colors are way worse than every LG I had (14monitors!)

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.

Can confirm as I have the same monitor!

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.

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

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.

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