LG - 34SR65QC-B 34" 100Hz Curved Ultrawide WQHD MyView Smart Monitor

Hey y'all. I recently bought two monitors from Costco: LG 34SR65QC-B 34" 100Hz Curved Ultrawide WQHD MyView Smart Monitor (3440 x 1440) 5ms resp [https://www.costco.com/lg-34-curved-ultrawide-wqhd-myview-smart-monitor---3440-x-1440.product.4000287892.html](https://www.costco.com/lg-34-curved-ultrawide-wqhd-myview-smart-monitor---3440-x-1440.product.4000287892.html) Acer EDA343CUR Nitro 34" 165Hz Curved Ultrawide UWQHD Gaming Monitor (3440 x 1440) 1ms resp [https://www.costco.com/acer-nitro-34-class-uwqhd-curved-gaming-monitor.product.4000157379.html](https://www.costco.com/acer-nitro-34-class-uwqhd-curved-gaming-monitor.product.4000157379.html) Bought from Costco for their return policy since I just moved and wanted to try an ultrawide for the first time. Coming from two IPS 60hz monitors btw, not a competitive player so high refresh rate and low response time are extras for me I got the LG monitor a few months back and doing some research, it seems to be a new model. Has a TON of bells and whistles that I don't care for (built-in wifi, Airplay, Netflix, D+, comes with a remote, etc.) but this also my first VA and ultrawide panel so took it at face value. Has a ton of display settings making it super customizable, display looks amazing. biggest difference I noticed from my IPS was the viewing angle. with the curve and different panel type, there is some slight color distortion at the edges to the point where I rub my eye thinking I have something inside it... but its just the panel lmao. I'll come back to this. With the 90 day return policy coming up, I saw Costco was doing a sale on the Acer 165hz ultrawide. Figured it's cheaper and if I like the new one, I can return the LG. few days goes by, Acer arrives, and I set it up. Instantly the first thing I notice is the panel quality. at first, I thought it I needed to play with the settings like I did with the LG but after a week of use, I still find myself changing the display settings. the panel looks super washed out compared to the LG, the smearing is atrocious, and the settings panel (specifically, the 6-axis saturation section) never seems to save my settings. upsides are definitely the higher refresh rate, more gaming settings (refresh rate counter, crosshair, FreeSync) and the RGB strip on the back. putting the monitors side by side and playing some games, the LG monitor instantly has a more enjoyable gaming experience and day-to-day use browsing through Reddit or Discord in dark mode with virtually no smearing compared to the Acer. I would even go as far to say that it is comparable to my IPS panel in terms of color, but with much better contrast. happy to answer questions for anyone thats curious on picking these up. In general, what spec makes the LG display look "better" than the Acer in terms of color? the LG has a white balance option separate from contrast which I find myself using a lot, but obviously "good" is relative so maybe y'all can help. do VA panels usually look washed out?

Acer was much better stats and enjoyable for gaming. I’ve owned a LG one before and it’s p sensitive (light tap made it break) Acer was a crazy cheap deal also! In house warehouse

I bought a 34 LG VA monitor while I rma'd my current one and I do NOT recommend getting anything LG VA. The ghosting was TERRIBLE.

I have had all three of these monitors in the past month. The G9 was OLED but kept getting black screens. The 34 LG is super nice but the 32 with the 4k picture can’t be matched. Of the three, I kept the 32 4k. I also think the LG 32 has a bit better color than the 34 and seemed to be a bit brighter to me. It also has more settings options than the 34 which may be important to you.

Same exact scenario, used a 34” LG for 10 years, bought the 5K2K the second it went live. Absolutely love it, so immersive at my sitting distance, id never go smaller at this point.

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

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 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
