You work setup and usage is similar to mine. Was very happy with LG 34WQ60C - 34 inch - Curved monitor (used with Hp spectre and lenovo laptops for an year, with mac mini M4 couple of days), but unfortunately broke it accidently while setting up the new desk. Then bought Dell S3425DW 34 Plus USB C Curved Monitor. Its a VA panel. I don't know whether this is usual with VA panel or defective product for me, colour production was soooo bad. After 2 weeks continuous follow up with Dellstore now they initiated to pick it up and refund... Awaiting for the return shipment to reach there. Now I am looking back to LG itself. So far my options are \- 34WQ75C - Mostly I may land here \- 38WR85QC-W (Available in LG website for Rs 99,999, but not delivering to my address and; In Amazon 1.3L. I am checking with dealer around here for better price). If you come across anything, please let me know as well.
I just bought a new monitor myself. Going from my 34" 2560x1080 Ultrawide that I've had since 2017. Going to a flat 42" 144hz LG C4 OLED TV, It's actually wonderful. using this size I can use a custom resolution at 3840x1600 to get a 38" Ultrawide experience, although It's with black bars on top and bottom, but I don't really mind because of the OLED. I most definitely feel more immersed in this TV than I ever felt using my 34" ultrawide. I think 34" is missing a bit of height to be perfect. I kind of want to replay a lot of my games now with this monitor, the worst part of my new monitor is my 3070 graphics card, it's kind of limiting at the moment. The screen is blank rather than matte, which could be a dealbreaker for some people, but I kind of love it. Doesn't bother me at all, the way I'm using my setup, there's no Windows nearby. Another thing that could be limiting to some people is the lack of USB-C connectivity, to easily connect a laptop. Personally It's really the best of both worlds. It's a really nice size for productivity too. The 16:9 aspect ratio is also a very nice to have when watching YouTube videos and Movies. I know people always say that 21:9 is the default or perfect movie aspect ratio, but I have never noticed that in practice. from my experiences most services and movies use the default 16:9 TV aspect ratios.
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.
Damn, I should have waited those 2 years.. I bought used LG IPS 34" for the price of new DWF
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 wanted to get it - I stuck with the 34" IPS LG. But the resolution on this and the 38" screen size was super appealing.
Using an LG ultrawide, prolly the 34" 1080p 75hz version. It costed me around 13k 3 years ago when I bought it and I would say it's much better than those Xinese monitors that will breakdown after a year or later. I would rather not buy to those "specs" for cheap if it will be scrapped earlier.
You guys are on 5k now?! That is crazy. I am still on a 2560 x 1080p ultrawide 34' LG monitor.
