Huge, immersive OLED, but 800R curve distorts productivity.

Just wanna say OP I agree with you. I want something I can put in my living room and use for productivity, work, gaming, AND complement the interior design of my apartment. The 800r curve is just so aggressive. I have an older 1800r 34" monitor and I love it: [lg-34UC80-B](https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-34UC80-B-ultrawide-monitor). I would love to upgrade to a 4k ultrawide but the only options are 800r. I'm sure it reduces the distortion a bit and makes the experience more immersive, but It just does not match the aesthetic vision I have for my interior space. And that is a dealbreaker.
I'm happy using a single LG 34" (3440x1440@60Hz). Enough room for 2 pages of A4 size and then some, or e.g. a PDF and some Ghostty splits. And also nice for movies. I usually use my apps in full screen mode. If I ever need more room there's still the possibility of opening the 16" MBP screen (but that happens rarely).
I use a 34 curved ips from LG. There are also mini LEDs from TCL.
If you get the 34" IPS LG, it's produced a good picture so far.
I still have a 34" LG IPS monitor, it's a good piece of equipment, and until I find the right OLED...👌
I adore my current LG monitors (2x 34” IPS, 1x 27” IPS), but they’re fairly old now, lack the OLED displays, and I’ve been concerned about upgrading cause larger form factors have had pixel density issues. This seems like the perfect mixture of size, tech, and would fix perfectly into my mixed work from home and gaming setup.
I wanted to get it - I stuck with the 34" IPS LG. But the resolution on this and the 38" screen size was super appealing.
Lg 34 and 38 ultrawides still have one of the best IPS panels up to date for general multi purpose use. I have had LG 38 IPS for few years now and I will upgrade to LG 39 oled 5k2k eventually.
