LG - 34GS95QE-B

I went from the aoc cu34g2xp to an LG 34gs95qe and agree with what you said. The aoc was a decent monitor, I didn’t notice any smearing or other issues VA’s can have. The LG is beautiful, OLED looks so much better. I personally love the 800r curve it has as well.

I think this monitor is the sweetspot for an ultrawide monitor. I am using the 34GS95QE and while i am mostly using it for singleplayer gaming, i sometimes do some productivity on it and the higher resolution of the GX9 would let me fit two programms on the screen side by side just a little bit better. At the moment i sometimes need just a little bit more space. And the higher dpi will probably look stunning while gaming!

LG. Don’t waste your time with any of the Samsung qd oleds, they are all junk. Just make sure you get a GS model, like the LG 34gs95qe-b. Over the span of 3 weeks I tried the Samsung g85sb, g60sd, and g80sd. The fringing on the 1st Gen qdoled panels is so bad that using the g85sb for any more than 30 minutes resulted in a migraine that lasted the rest of the day which is something I had never experienced before. Despite what reviews say, the gen 3 panels yielded little to no improvement over the gen 1 as far as fringing goes. 2 more blaring issues that are prominent on all QD OLED displays are 1. Elevated blacks and 2. A very slight purple/pink tint to everything. Both issues play off of eachother and even in a pitch black room with only the screen on, the screen will pick up its own light and boost blacks and glow ever so slightly pinkish as a result. The LG 34GS95QE-B on the other hand looks very close to my 55” C4 and has the perfect blacks that you expect when buying an OLED. Don’t be fooled by the glossy diehards either. On a TV, sure glossy can be much nicer. But on a PC monitor I’ve found the matte to be the way to go.

800r curve is great, Takes 5 mins to get used to. I had a sammy g85sb (1800r) for a week before I returned it. That monitor may as well have been flat with how weak the curve was, and I actually preferred using my flat 55” c4 in 3440x1440 over the Sammy monitor. Different story when comparing my 34gs95qe-b to the c4 though.

It will always be worth returning anything Samsung for an LG or literally any other brand of device. As for going 5k2k, hopefully you don’t expect a high refresh rate experience all of the time and don’t play competitively. Imagine 4k but marginally worse as far as performance goes. It will probably be a generation or two before computer hardware catches up and those monitors are actually viable. I’ll be sticking with my LG 34GS95QEB until hardware catches up.

I had the same concerns and I love my 34GS95QE

Absolutely love my LG 34GS95QE, but it's a constant reminder that I now also need to upgrade my second monitor to OLED.

Despite what some people here say, i got the LG and the 800r feels amazing, so yeah would recommend that one.

Nothing looks distorted to me, at first it's weird but after couple days you don't notice it anymore and it's just super immersive. Heard similar things from others, picture is clear using it at 80% sharpening. I had a flat ultrawide before and definitely prefer 800r now

Yes it works without issues

The curve on the LG takes a bit of getting used to but I really enjoy it now!

Hi, I think I am the man in your mind lol. Just changed from LG 34UC79G to LG 34GS95QE after 5 years. The bad news is, there is no real 4k monitor with high refresh rate on the market at now, the only one that suits real 4k+high refresh rate is the Dell U4025QW, 120hz but with a 5ms response. So 1440p just fine, and for ultra wide monitors, it will use more gpu than the normal size monitors.

Me too, love this monitor

I’m getting the 175Hz version of the MSI and LG 34GS95QE(240Hz) for almost the same price. Unable to get the 240Hz version as of now for MSI. Would you still recommend the MSI?

480hz, 34”, 3440x1440, OLED, 21:9

yes I do. Think of your 34 as being about the same as having two 25 or 27 inch monitors stitched together. I snap my windows to take up portions of the screen when I do my multitasking and I have gotten to prefer that way rather than sending windows to the other monitor. If you can get one of these to be within your budget, they are amazing - [https://www.bestbuy.com/site/alienware-aw3423dwf-34-qd-oled-curved-165hz-1-ms-ultrawide-freesync-gaming-monitor-with-hdr-hdmiusb-dark-side-of-the-moon/6536990.p?skuId=6536990](https://www.bestbuy.com/site/alienware-aw3423dwf-34-qd-oled-curved-165hz-1-ms-ultrawide-freesync-gaming-monitor-with-hdr-hdmiusb-dark-side-of-the-moon/6536990.p?skuId=6536990) I have also been very happy with my big LG, and I am sure this one would look amazing as well, and its a little bit cheaper than the alienware above - [https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-ultragear-34-oled-curved-wqhd-240hz-0-03ms-freesync-and-nvidia-g-sync-compatible-gaming-monitor-with-hdr400-black/6575399.p](https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-ultragear-34-oled-curved-wqhd-240hz-0-03ms-freesync-and-nvidia-g-sync-compatible-gaming-monitor-with-hdr400-black/6575399.p) I myself am running an older Alienware 38" on my work machine and the LG 45" 240hz OLED on my main computer, but that one might be a tad out of the budget posted. The Alienware OLED

Ok so I have a few Models in mind. The Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 is a really good one. Costs 650 bucks. If You want a better one with HDR tol Theres the LG UltraGear OLED 34GS95QE. That one is 800 bucks. Or comparable the Alienware AW3423DWF, wich has less refreh rate, but has more Vibtant colours, but a glossy Display wich means they LG has less reflection. That one is also 800 bucks. Those are all oleds and if You don't really need one VA's would be much cheaper, but also much worse ofc. Let me know what you think.

Sorry, I shouldve checked how much they cost in the UK. The LG one is 629£ so its the best Deal Out of the 3. Buy that one as long as its on sale.

I second this. Thought the curve might be too much but saw it in person and I liked it. It’s great for gaming. Mediocre for productivity

Heck yea! that’s awesome I worked at Best Buy for several years while these and a bunch of newer models were available. They were what I would consider the best bang for the buck if they’re on sale and cheeping out on a monitor at this price range just isn’t worth it. Never heard a single complaint or got a return for it either. Bought both versions eventually myself and now I’m sittin on this bad boy LG 34” Oled 3440x1440p 240hz. Ultra Wide Master Race for the W! 🔥💯✊

I agree here, too. Especially if OP is looking for a 1440p 240Hz ultrawide, there are a few great OLEDs with those specs, like the LG 34GS95QE-B and the MSI 341CQPX (if it's still available).

Pull the fu*King trigger and never look back. This monitor is so wicked for gaming. I mostly play shooters and it's fantastic! It died after 10 months but LG fixed it for free - shit happens, they have a warranty process for a reason. It's got a pretty mean curve that took a minute but I now like it better because it feels more peripheral vision like. Ultrawide high fps is still niche, so there is not a lot out there but this rig is wicked - especially on sale. I run it with 7800x3d, and 9070 XT and its usually between 200-240fps with high settings on most modern shooters. I'm actually CPU limited because FSR downscales so my CPU maxed out - taking about 20-30fps off.

White LG 34GS95QE is $749 at Best Buy if you don't care about plastic color or want white. I've been really happy with mine.

LG 34GS95 & AW2725DF

As for 800R, I have one and I love it. First hours were strange and a little uncomfortable but now I wouldn’t swap it for anything else

It’s the only ultrawide I had so I don’t have any comparison, but it’s night and day difference vs “normal” 16:9 27” screen I had. I sit close to my monitor and I feel like the world is wrapped around me. Peripheral vision makes a lot of difference and big curvature was a big aspect of it. But as I said- first hours weren’t great, I even felt a little nauseous (similar feeling to when I started using VR) but it went away pretty quickly. As for distortion, it depends on the game. For example in the new Kingdom Come I noticed it near the borders (items / scenery was a lot bigger compared to when it was on the center of the screen), but Last of Us was perfect. Biggest surprise for me was that every game I tried so far works out of the box with UW. Model I have - LG34GS

I’ve spent my whole life on 16:9 (and 4:3 as well- I’m old) and recently got an 34” UW OLED from LG and I love everything about it. It’s truly a different and (for me) better experience

Nah qdoled >> woled. Don’t get LG

Hello u/No_Committee8856 \- Did you end up making a purchase yet? I'm also torn between the MSI 341CQPX and the LG 34GS95QE VRR Flicker seems to be a lot worse on the MSI compared to the LG and I've heard complaints about Coil whine. But I'm hesitant on the 800R curve on a 34 inch screen (should be fine for gaming but for movies or general use - especially if things aren't centered)

I’d go for the LG 34, recently got the AW3425DW don’t get me wrong it’s a beautiful monitor but the coating is laughable shit. Returning mine tomorrow as it had scratched and the coating was already worn

Do those not exist yet? I have the 34GS95QE and it is heavenly. I see there is a 39" version of it, but the resolution is the same... Seems to be too low for that screen size

I'm leaning towards LG oled cause it's on sale for $749 at best buy. https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-34gs95qe-b-gaming-monitor Can't find too much information ifs it newer panel (guessing so cause it's new monitor ), and does woled have less burn in? I swap between PC and PS5 frequently enough and watch movies. But I'd say I use my PC about 6/7 hours a day

I had the 39 inch but returned it and got the 34. Was too big for me and the ppi was too low on the big one.

I'm looking for a monitor that balances between gaming and productivity, a 34" OLED ultrawide monitor with a 3440x1440 resolution is the sweet spot. I am looking for features like a 120Hz to 240Hz refresh rate, a gentle curve (800R–1800R) for immersion, and support for G-Sync. LG's OLED models, like the LG 34GS95QE-B is my ideal monitor.

You are correct. And my LG 34GS95QE has only the pixel refresh (the short one), not the panel refresh. I do not know if this means they are confident that this generation of panels do not require it anymore. I will see in a few years time I suppose.

Sick. I'll just put my LG lg 34gs95qe-b behind me and start building my OLED ringworld.

I would love to see this in a slightly smaller size. I have the ultra gear OLED 800r curved in a 34” and I think it’s perfect.

The DWF is good but I’m not a fan of QD OLED turning magenta in the light. I would go for the 34” LG OLED and just get used to the curve I’m using the new Asus tuf 34” 180hz VA and it’s very good for the price. But still not nearly as good as an OLED. Not the best response time and the black levels are much better than an ips but still not at OLED level. I love 21:9. Once I step away from it I always crave it again.

For under $1000 you can just get a 34 in OLED and it’ll be the best viewing experience you can have. No smearing, HDR, and you get super fast response times

That’s overblown. Idk anyone with burn-in and I’ve had my lg oled for 2 years no burn-in.

I've got the Dell 5K2k 40" at work and it's amazing, but I love my 34" 2K 240hz OLED at home for gaming because the 5090 gpu needed to push games at 5K2K is way out of my budget. 5K2K ultra wide is better for productivity and less demanding games imo.

I'm not OP, I gave up on 49" (the MSI model listed by OP was my favourite) due to the inability to split it properly (game+internet/movie requires either windowed, or 2 cables with loss of gsync/hdr/hz) and the too anecdotal curve (1800R). I ended up buying LG 34" Oled (see my flair), and now I want to make sure I don't burn it. It's a 2024 model like the MSI but doesn't seem to have as much protection as MSI. I set my other monitor (non-oled, for now one of my dell u2415, soon probably a LG 27GS60QC) as the main, and it holds the taskbar as well as all desktop icons. The Oled either displays wallpaper (switching every 20 minutes because I set 10 & Windows is dumb and switches 1 monitor at a time) or games. Games include static UI (don't they all have some anyway ?!), MMO (gw2) or not (Hogwarts Legacy atm), but never for long uninterrupted periods, as loading screens or opening the map happen on a regular basis.

Oled's have come a long way and the burn in is not an issue for productivity.. if you're running a news channel 24x7, then it's not for you. If you keep switching between tabs, then you should be fine. I'd recommend the LG 34" woleds or the samsung qd led if you want glossy screen. If you really want an ips screen, then LG has a nano-ips panel but for that price, you might as well get the 2024 oled's on sale!

I have this monitor and the VRR flicker was very noticeable in Oblivion. I could make it more manageable with framerate caps, settings, etc. However, I just turned off VRR completely and I've been loving the panel.

I normally do play with vsync, however I've had it off a few times and never noticed any tearing. As far as my understanding goes, tearing is a very case by case basis dependent on different hardware configurations and games, so if you prefer VRR over Vsync to limit tearing, I'm not sure OLED would be your best panel solution. I will say though, I've played multiple hours on the monitor every day since I've gotten it, and I love it so far even with VRR off. VRR was the only thing giving me any trouble, besides having no 3.5mm audio out, but that is a design choice on their part, not a natural flaw in the panel design.

Do you notice VRR flickering ? I ended up returning the 34" LG oled I bought because of this. Very noticeable in CPU bound games such as WoW and Diablo…

For immersion in adventure games or racing get the 39. If PPI matters get the 34. What made me return the 39 and get the 34 was the fringing and how everything looks stretched. In competitive games you will noticed a bunch of artifacts, jagged edges, and text fringing. Dota 2 for example, after a match I was so exhausted that I couldn't even look at the screen anymore. Same for Age of Empires.

Well everyone, after 5 years with my LG 34 in 144 Hz Ultrawide.... I have found my new baby for the next 5 years

I have neither of those monitors. I use a old LG 3440x1440 34". That only has 108ppi resolution while the mentioned 5k2k displays have 140ppi. However, MacOS has scaling problems with everything that is not "retina" resolution, so everything below ~200ppi. I find the text to be a bit blurrier on non-Apple displays compared to Windows. But you get used to it. Also the built-in window management is complicated, sluggish and not really suitable for ultrawide monitors, you'll want additional software like Better Touch Tool or Rectangle.

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.

Just bought the LG one from Amazon Renewed for even more of a discount and I'm happy with it so far

Love to hear what people experience with Text Christmas on these monitors. I have an LG 34 inch curved monitor and the text is not very crisp and I find it distracting. Anybody able to compare it to a max studio display or one of the other similar ones that have 220 dpi

Using LG 34" UWQHD at 3440x1440 (Default) 85 Hz on M1 Mac Mini. HDR off. Great picture at a usable size. Chipset Model: Apple M1   Type: GPU   Bus: Built-In   Total Number of Cores: 8   Vendor: Apple (0x106b)   Metal Support: Metal 3   Displays: LG HDR WQHD:   Resolution: 3440 x 1440 (UWQHD - Ultra-Wide Quad HD)   UI Looks like: 3440 x 1440 @ 85.00Hz   Main Display: Yes   Mirror: Off   Online: Yes   Rotation: Supported

I did just switch to a USB C to Display Port and am now at 100 Hz. Small improvement.

I went from a 34" curved LG ultrawide to a 55" TV. I like the TV way better, but I think a 49" ultrawide monitor would work even better because then my 24" DDU that I have above my TV would be lower and could be more easily seen. Of course a 57" ultrawide monitor would be even better. Lol.

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

34". All the way. We have had AOC x 2 with zero issues, great monitor. My lad is currently on an LG 34" which seems to be fine, little bit of bleed. My daughter is also on a 34" Viewsonic, i'm on a 49" uw. My two main gaming buds are also 34". Both with 3060s. For gaming, gotta be 34" curved, it's a beautiful thing. Imo, i would stay away from nzxt myself.

LG 34 inch ultra wide. Dell 4k 27 inch portrait positioning. PowerToys is your friend! Easiest multi monitor management system I've ever used.

I have an LG 34 inch Ultrawide. I am a programmer and it works for me. I wanted KVM, atleast 65w PD (it has 90) and be able to have 2 screens side by side. The resolution could be much better as I am used to my MBPs 4k screen but it doesn't come in the way of writing code.

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.

Uso 2 ultrawides da LG de 34, eu acho que é isso kkkkkkk

Não estou perto agora, mas para programação me atende bem melhor

Been rocking a G9, but I think I would like the monitor too be more vertical and a bit less wide. The GX9 would be perfect!

240hz 3440x1440p WOLED 3800R :)

I own the UW1440p and it's an excellent monitor for gaming. I also play FPS shooters and have essentially the same computer (5070Ti instead of 9070XT), and it's a perfect monitor for that. Having said that, since you can find both for similar prices, I'd probably go with the 5k2k. You guys can always pop in a 5090 or whatever is king down the road, and AM5 will be supported for years.

I'm not OP, but I use mine exclusively for gaming. Perfect balance of performance and quality for the games I play. And yeah, I would not use it for work or text heavy stuff. My Dell 5k2k sits next to it for that stuff 😅

I'm gonna go test Warzone now and see. I can max out my UWQHD LG 240hz on ultra settings with my 5090. I'm guessing it could get close or over 200 with more average settings. Having said that, 165hz is more than fine.

Using lg 3440×1440 240hz right now, the 5k2k needs to be closer to 240hz to replace the 34inch （not fhd).

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

this is my thought…. I have a 3440x1440 LG that works great with my 4070ti but I can unfortunately tell the difference between 1440p and my old 4K. I’d be fine taking the performance hit until I can upgrade my GPU hopefully the 6070 or 6070ti will be able to run 4k

Using a 39" lg oled, and having used an 1800r g9 oled before, 800r is goated. It's a bit in your face at first, but after a couple hours it's great. If anything, I would like it even more agressive. If it was adjustable like their last 45 incher, I would basically never even do that. I actually used to get a bit motion sick on 1800r, and I don't on 800. The matte... yeah... Well, it's matte. Hopefully LG start dropping glossy's one day. QD doesn't work for my environment.

i would also never get a WOLED again, QD-OLED is just superior in basically every aspect. switched from an LG WOLED to the samsung G9 and the picture quality of QD-OLED is just so much clearer and better. (i am really picky when it comes to displays, so im definitely not the average user and ive been selling TVs for the last 18 years, so ive seen basically every tech stage from ctv to oled with all their ups and downs over the years)

800r vs 1800r you can get used to both eventually. If you’re used to vibrant and saturated colors of oled, dont go with woled. I have a LG woled 800r.

I miss mine, to an extent. The second they release this monitor with a 1000r curve screen I'm ditching my LG ultragear 21:9 for it.

Been an avid 21:9 user for like 4yrs and can't go back, only drawback is that I'm still in the OG 3440x1440 group and want a bit more crispiness to the text (OLED) and a smidge more screen real-estate. So far I've had the LG UltraGear, the Alienware one, then the Samsung G8 (current). Been eyeing a 5k 2k for a long time and curious to hear other reviews (if I get sent one LG, I will deep dive so hard into the things that I look for in a panel so be warned lol). OLED brightness, HDR, VRR, color banding are things that are very important to nail so praying ya'll nailed it. I used a Dell 32:9 (forget the model) and returned it within a week. Tried to make it work, but didn't like that it's a huge performance hit for the added peripheral you technically never use and for normal day to day, hurts my neck moving windows around. And thats before I get into getting games to do 32:9 was a nightmare vs 21:9. So sweet spot if you're a gamer imho is 21:9 -- perfect FOV to performance for modern mid-high end+ GPU's.

Msi is cheaper compared to LG alwell. It is 140hz while lg is 160hz.

Get the MSI one. I had to get the LG ultragear because MSI wasn't available at my location.

You wont notice the difference between 144hz and 165hz I found LG decent enough as well.
