All discontinued, out of support and no longer available through regular vendors.
I have an [LG 34 GP 950 G](https://www.lg.com/de/monitore/gaming/34gp950g-b/?srsltid=AfmBOopvwdI341ouMVuFuW5NQGtdaLnf7P3UwAqbVNjPqfO3GU5Fp696), it has a 1900 radius and I'm sitting at the perfect distance so everything appears straight.
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.
I love mine. 34" 180hz LG. couldn't be happier
It comes down to your aims and your games. I messed around with several displays last year. One of them was the other samsung g9. The 1ms 1000R 49" display. While there were things I liked about it, it had a number of drawbacks. Some games felt rather immersive after fiddling (1000R is quite an extreme curve), but other games had no support in that range. My aim is content and personal gaming and to that extent I found it more useful to go with a smaller display (34" LG 34950G-B). It was about the same size and curve (1900R) as my previous display, but just better overall. This allowed me enough real estate on my desktop to keep a second display for obs/etc. This also helped maintain decent frame rates on my 3070 while recording. If you only game, you don't have this added constraint. I also don't like playing some games in windowed mode and some older games (e.g. Shogun 2) have issues running that way. So without knowing what you plan to do with the display it's hard to give you sound advice about which is best for you beyond what you already seem to know- 21:9 has broader default support atm. 32:9 resolution didn't exist for me in some games and plenty older games just might look like crap because they won't be getting updates. I will say, however, that the 34" on amazon I bought refurbed or whatever for 1-200 off what it was priced at at the time. There is a single pixel that is red/green somewhere on the screen outside the "main" viewing area. I can't see it right now unless I drag a black window around to spot it. Rather worth it for me. So keep an eye out sometimes as they have open boxes discounted. You just want to check for any burnouts/etc.
So my LG ultragear IPS of 5 years died today. Looking getting another ultrawide. It seems like theres hardly any available from samsung or LG, its either VA, which is nice and cheap but he picture quality sucks, im not downgrading. Or oled, which has amazing picture quality but worried about burn in. Hardly any IPS monitors which i felt like a good trade off. There seems to be a few but missing a lot of features or really expensive. All i want is 120Hz+ QHD HDMI for PS5 AUX for my desktop speakers and good picture quality. It seems like theres always some trade off. the LG 34GP950G looks like it was perfect but seems discontinued. Theres also the LG 34GP83A, but at $749, I might as well buy the OLED LG and risk burn in for the same price and get better image quality and console gaming features. any other suggestions? are my fears of the oled valid? id like to get another 5 years of my new monitor
I have a 32 in curved 3440x1440 UW LG and I ended up setting up my 1080P monitor again beside it for screen sharing and music playlist control. WHY NOT BOTH?!
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.
