LG - 34GX900A-B

I’ve had it for over a month and I love it. But you’re right, I’m using a 5090 and could still use more!

I mean if you are asking for the best, its the new LG GX9 Serie...but you gotta find out for yourself if you can deal with the 800R Curveature

Yep, its all things that need to be considered. Its also not really possible to out up a monitor llight/desk light up easily. But thats all things I can live with, the monitors are just incredible. And I dont even have the new one, but the old wqhd Version, but as soon as the 5k Version gets to around $1200 I will instantly buy it. Cant wait.

you should unironically get the samsung g9 because the 110 PPI is almost exactly the same retina resolution as your macbook air's 224 PPI at 200% scale (112). things will look the same size on your 49 inch at 100% scaling so it'll be easy to move things between them. i have a LG GX9 with 125 ppi and my macbook pro 14" has 254 PPI, and at default 200% scaling u get 1512 x 982 = 127 ppi. i have the choice between using my monitor at 100% DPI and with effectively +4 laptop screens of space to put stuff in albeit with tiny font, or using it as my sole monitor with 2560 x 1080 scaled resolution which gives me effectively still retina but more than native resolution. and in retina, the OLED font issues don't exist, much less with the change from RWBG to a more similar to OS expected RGB with RGWB improving sharpness edit: jk retina on macbook air is different. the native res 13.6" changes 2560 x 1664 to 1470 x 956, which gives effectively 143 PPI on the scaled "retina" resolution. that would mean you should go for a 4k 32" monitor at 138 PPI for your macbook air instead, for similar real life sizes. the samsung 49" will make your windows look too big once you move them to it unless you apply a 125% scale, but your text will look pretty bad in macOS with that scaling at non-retina res

It's a shame that LG continues to make their ultrawides with such an aggressive curve. It really is a beautiful monitor in person, but every horizontal line on screen is warped.

Smearing and ghosting is essentially a drawback all VAs have, because of the way they display the picture. Same goes for shitty viewing angles on TN and burn-in on OLEDs. No matter how good the technology gets, it can be mitigated, but not entirely solved. TL;DR: all VAs will always have ghosting. Maybe something like this: [https://a.co/d/bfXe6ur](https://a.co/d/bfXe6ur) I'd still try to get an IPS, it's the best technology there is. I've had an OLED for a year now, I'm babying it, still no burn-in, for now. I have this model: [https://a.co/d/gGlpcVZ](https://a.co/d/gGlpcVZ)

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.

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

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…

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

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 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

I had no idea the dual mode was this bad, I just ordered one thinking it will scale perfectly as it should (I do not mind gaming at 1080p) but this uneven pixel distribution is insane I will be returning this display as I already have a G8 which works perfectly fine albeit is not as big as I would wanted it to be

I think the GX9 will fit my sweet spot needs perfectly. Currently rocking the CRG9 and my only complaint since I got it was I wish I would have gotten 40-45in instead. Plus the dual mode for me is a big selling point as I do PBP quite often for work.

Did they ever fix the blurriness switching to the 330hz mode? I'm considering this or the 240/480hz monitor at 32 inches from LG or Asus. It's primarily for Davinci Resolve editing/color correction but on free time I play the esports games like marvel, valorant and overwatch. I currently use a 1440p 27 inch 240hz and I can definitely drive something strong with my 4090 7950x3D. Any help appreciated and thanks for the post! EDIT: I made the jump 2 days ago and I primarily play competitive shooters on my free time but use Davinci Resolve/Adobe Premiere for work. The 330hz is nice but I won't be using it as the image quality is not great in ANY of the dual modes (in my opinion). Sure you can use it to get an edge from the 330hz (i used to have 270 on a 27inch 1440p), BUT it's because the screen is so huge @45inches the detail and quality of the enemies at 1080p is just gross. If I wanted to play on 1080p I'd pull out my benq 240hz 24 inch monitor instead. In my opinion this isn't a deal breaker as long as you are fine and can drive your monitor at 165hz. It's a compromise if you're used to 240hz+ (which i've been using last 6 years), BUT I used 144hz prior to that and I think the 165hz is enough. Incase anyone was in the same situation where they play the sweaty FPS games on the side but do workstation primarily, I tested Overwatch and Marvel Rivals only. MARVEL: Without DLSS Hitting 125-150FPS @low settings (high model/textures) 165hz 5k2k MARVEL: With DLSS Hitting 180-200FPS + @low settings (high model/textures) 165hz 5k2k -Note if you want the 5k res Marvel forces you to use Fullscreen Borderless instead of Fullscreen. Positive is you alt tab faster. Negative some say borderless mode creates an input lag (as well as DLSS), but it's most likely not noticeable to most. OVERWATCH: No problem hitting 165FPS regardless settings 165hz 5k2k. PPI and brightness is solid but I'm not a stat sheet reader or pixelpeeper. With that said, I do not recommend ANY of the dual modes which essentially means I bought this for 165hz 5k2k ONLY and I'm pretty content with that. I think the only reason I'd upgrade from this is if they had 5k2k with a 240hz refresh rate OR if 1440p existed on the dual mode. Alternative choice to this wouldve been the 32 inch LG ‎32GS95UE 240hz/480hz dual mode, but if I hate the 1080p on this 45inch I don't see it being any different on the 32inch.

I've been looking for something exactly like the LG UltraGear GX9 for a really long time! Until now, ultrawide monitors always seemed to sacrifice vertical pixels, stretching wider but compromising on resolution—especially noticeable for me who wanted to switch my current 32-inch 4K monitor to ultrawide, up untill now there were no options. The GX9 fixes this perfectly. Instead of cutting down vertical resolution, it expands horizontally from 4K to true 5K2K (5120 x 2160), keeping the crisp detail I’m used to and providing the additional width that would seriously boost my workflow. As a photographer and video editor, having that extra horizontal space would be amazing for timelines, multitasking, and productivity. The dual-mode refresh rates (330Hz - 165Hz) are also exactly what I need. Being able to instantly switch to 330Hz for smooth, competitive gaming and then back to 165Hz at full 5K2K resolution for detailed photo editing and other content creation is a dream feature I didn't think we'd see anytime soon. I’d love the chance to test this monitor and share my experience with the community. You can expect a detailed, genuine, and thorough review focused on real-world usage, highlighting both productivity benefits and gaming performance. Huge thanks to LG for listening to the community and creating something truly exciting!

Coming from a 34“ 3440x1440 and a 42“ C4, I think GX9 is right on the money. I always wanted a larger than the 34“ UW, but then the 42“ C4 is too tall and I miss the Ultrawide aspect ratio and a curve. I think the GX9 with a slightly lesser curve would be perfect, but I’d love to try!

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.
