Is it just me or are these prices insane? I snagged the 34GS95QE-B for about €680 last September in Spain. I checked the prices now on Amazon.es and the same model is sitting at €720.
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’ve seen the LG ultragear 34GS95QE for as low as 600€ new, it’s what I’m using now and I’d strongly reccomend it.
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!
I have a oled 34' uw from LG and I like it a lot! I tried 32' 4k ips on a Lan party side by side and liked the uw format a lot more. But I recommend to test both yourself as it seems to be quite the personal choice
I had the same concerns and I love my 34GS95QE
Personally I’m very satisfied with my LG 34GS95QE. Idk if it’s available to you and for what price but in Germany it’s pretty cheap right now, has great picture quality. It’s matte, I also have the 27GS95QE which is the same monitor but not ultrawide. And honestly I have the feeling matte is the way to go. People talk, people sometimes sneeze and what not. It’s impossible to not have any kind of dirt on your screens and might it be very small. Good luck keeping this glossy screens clean. At least for the Alienware I heard it’s nearly impossible to keep clean.
Absolutely love my LG 34GS95QE, but it's a constant reminder that I now also need to upgrade my second monitor to OLED.
Got the LG 34GS95QE-B a few months ago and it’s been awesome. Super crisp, crazy fast response, and the OLED contrast makes story games pop. 49” G9 is tempting for immersion, but honestly 34” feels like the sweet spot between usable and cinematic.
just try and return them. I ordered a LG34GS95Q and Asus XG32UCWMG. ultra wide is nice but i preferedd the more vertical space of 32 innch anc crispy 4k!
had the same lg 34 inch, same issue it bothere me so upgraded to asus XG32UCWMG text clarity is 10x better then 1440p oled
Id say the price increase is worth it, £30 gets you an actually usable USB C port (98W compared to the others 15W) and ups the refresh rate from 175hz to 240hz. This one is a WOLED, its a good but more expensive, but it doesn't have any purple black raise and doesn't scratch easily like QDs do just as another consideration (I personally own a WOLED): https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/FFLdnQ/lg-ultragear-34gs95qe-b-340-3440-x-1440-240-hz-curved-monitor-34gs95qe-b The 5th gen QD-OLED hasn't released yet but presumably will (idk tho), its definitely liable to be out of your listed budget, that said, it improves a lot on most QD-OLEDs issues, doesn't have as much black raise, harder coating to scratch less, brighter and lasts longer (without burning in): https://uk.msi.com/Monitor/MPG-341CQR-QD-OLED-X36
I would say the MSI is better value, cheaper and has a high wattage usb C port. Also the LG has a higher curve than the MSI. The benefit of the WOLED LG is that it doesn't scratch nearly as easily so its easier to take care of and will be more forgiving when making mistakes. If your comfortable with the more difficult to clean QD-OLED then I'd go with that, but if not then WOLED. If you have a laptop you wish to use with the monitor aswell (that has usb C charging and DP over USB C) then I'd pick the MSI. Also I suspect a model refresh for 34 Inch WOLED is likely to happen soon, as quite a few monitors of this spec (Ultrawide WOLED) have stopped being sold.
