I bought an LG 34SR60QC monitor on Saturday because I urgently needed one for working from home. Unfortunately, the screen already has defects with strange white lines near the bottom. I’m returning it this weekend and planning to buy another UltraWide model. My job allows me to expense $600 for my WFH setup, so I’d like to spend reasonably under $800 in total. As an attorney, I’ll be using the computers for over 10-hour days, mainly drafting and reviewing documents. My current shortlist: (1) Dell U3425WE (2) Lenovo P40WD-40 (out of my price range but willing to make the investment if it’s truly worth it) (3) Dell P3425WE (4) LG 34BA85QE-B However, I’m open to suggestions to any that you think might meet the mark better than the ones listed above.
i like the spectrum and LG 34 to 38" 1440p 100hz+ VA and IPS panels, 1500-1800R theyre 200usd and awesome, huge value. 45 inches aren't good value. but also they're just not great for productivity actually. they're just big.
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.
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.
had the same lg 34 inch, same issue it bothere me so upgraded to asus XG32UCWMG text clarity is 10x better then 1440p oled
I just bought the LG OLED 5K2K 45” ultrawide. I think there’s a 34” version? My last LG 34” 1440p ultrawide was great too. My last 4 monitors have been LG and they’ve been great.
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 😅
