LG UltraGear QHD 34-Inch Curved Gaming Monitor 34GP83A-B, Nano IPS 1ms (GtG) with VESA DisplayHDR 400, NVIDIA G-SYNC, and AMD FreeSync Premium, 144Hz, Black

Overall I am happy with the monitor, but I expected to have atleast a USB C input.

Monitor width is complemented by the curvature which provides a wraparound viewing in 3D fashion.

I have the non IPS (VA) version. I got it on sale during Christmas sales, so its hard to beat this monitor for the price. I have not starting gaming on it yet, but good colors and contrast and great real estate. Does not seem to cause me any eye strain. No dead pixels. For a widescreen 1440p monitor and for the price I paid, Im pretty happy with it. That said, there is a strange cutoff right at the edge of the bottom bezel. Unless you are looking at it straight on or beneath, the last ~2 rows of pixels are diminished. And since it is at the bottom of the screen and my eyes are always above the bottom edge, I notice it. Its not something that bothers me really, but its there and it shouldnt be. The speakers are fine for what they are. Bass tone drops off heavily below 110hz, which I would expect. Pretty good spacial stereo for built-in monitor speakers. It works fine for general use and meetings. If you need more you would want external speakers or a good headset.

For the price of around $300, this was the most feature-packed monitor I could find. Decently high resolution with a high refresh rate, built-in speakers, FreeSync and an adjustable stand. My only complaint so far is that there is quite a bit of ghosting/color bleed when pixels change from dark to bright colors. I believe this is due to the VA panel. After a few days of use Ive gotten used to it, but it does make games with darker environments a little hard to play.

Note: This review is being written after roughly one month of ownership. After doing months of research, I had originally set my heart on LGs excellently reviewed LG 34GN850. However, it had been selling out before I could get my order in and the monitors original sale price had increased, much to my dismay. I was surprised and more than a bit skeptical then when reports that LG had a model releasing in its UltraGear line with virtually identical specs to the 34GN850 but at a lower initial price of $800 (including an extra $50 off MSRP). Seriously, nobody could get a straight answer about the differences except the aesthetics. Nevertheless, I took the shot-- fully expecting to return the model when some unknown defect appeared. With over a month of this thing hanging above my desk, Im happy to report this is the real deal! Pros: - Indistinguishable performance to the LG 34GN850-b, an already excellently reviewed monitor - Cheaper than the LG 34GN850-b ($850 vs $1000 MSRP) - Extremely fast response (even amongst other IPS panels) leading to excellent motion clarity - Excellent color reproduction over DCI-P3 with an acceptable sRGB clamp Cons: - LGs in-house warranty is less than stellar (much prefer a more robust option like the ones offered by Dell) - Typical IPS issues: low contrast, more expensive than VA panels, etc. For a much more comprehensive review of the sister model, Id recommend checking out HardwareUnboxed on Youtube. Overall, daily use of this monitor has blown me away. One big note for users with older GPUs: make 100% sure that chroma subsampling is *disabled* because it will make text virtually unreadable. The full suite of 144hz+1440p+wide gamut requires DisplayPort 1.4 (or equivalent). Its much better to reduce the color spectrum and/or refresh rate rather than use chroma subsampling.

Ill be honest, I didnt sleep much last night because I was so nervous about getting a display with dead pixels. Some of the reviews make it seem like a problem, but the fact that there are only a handful for a few thousand reviews probably should have been more telling. Needless to say, my display is flawless. The picture quality is jaw dropping. It doesnt even feel like Im playing the same games. Jumping from 1080p @ 60 hz to 1440p @144hz is an insane difference and the color quality blows my old monitor out of the water. I am honestly annoyed with myself for waiting this long. As tired as I was, I found myself tracking quick action in fights and connecting shots way more reliably on top of being way more aware thanks to the expanded viewing area (turned my FoV in Apex from 96 to 110 since the screen is so much wider). Despite being dead tired, I played some of my best games just now. Assembly is a breeze, they include the display port cable you need to use to get max refresh rate, and it seemed well packed and easy to unbox from start to finish.

Wow this is my first ultra wide monitor and Im still in awe at the amazing picture quality. I have an IPS Samsung Odyssey next to it so you can clearly see the color profile differences between a VA and IPS panel. However, I realize that VA has better white and blackness, which is more conducive to my productivity as I type and read documents a lot. Gaming on this is fast and the color calibration is unrivaled on LG! I As a casual gamer I cant justify spending between $800 and $1000 for a Samsung or Alienware ultra-wide, but this is such a great value (a steal when its on sale).

Well packaged, took it out of the box and plugged it in. Setting up the stand is super easy, no tools needed. Comes with a next gen DP cable (good for you LG). Ran a dead pixel check via lcdtech and had zero. No backlight issues or edge issues. Loaded up, turned G-sync on via the Nvidia control panel, started up ff14 and got that setup. Running at roughly 110-130hz with a 2080TI. G-sync is working flawlessly. Compatible, might as well be native. Not even a 1 frame hiccup. When I say flawless, I mean flawless. Picture/colors is incredible, glad I went with the IPS panel. Will NEVER go back to gaming in 16:9 @60hz without curve. The curve, the ultra wide panel and the 144hz create a whole new experience. The jump reminds me when I went from a mechanical HDD to an M.2. Just unbelievable difference. My wife thought shed hate the curve/UW and I made her sit down and play with it for a bit. She is now trying to get me to spend another $700 lol. Just try it if youre on the fence. Youll never go back.

This is a computer used for gaming, however I use Excel quite a bit and the extra horizontal room is nice. It works great for any app and more room is always a good thing. I upgraded from an LG 27” 2560 by 1440 whereas this one is 3440 by 1440 so it’s basically not quite 4K but better than 2K. I have several LG products-2 monitors, a 43” 120 MHz 4K TV, and a top load impeller washer. They have a great product and have had a really good experience with all their products. 5 stars all day.

I have now owned both Samsung and LG and I will be honest. Samsung beats LG in the display quality but LG beats Samsung everywhere else. The display quality is not enough to prefer the Samsung over the LG when it comes to other features...This monitor is significantly easier to manager when mounting on a wall or placing on a desk. The LGs OSD is great as well. Navigating is a breeze and unlike the Samsung the LG will switch between active displays without input....I still cannot believe Samsung has this problem...Which was the primary reason I switched to the LG. Working from home and wanting to switch to gaming is a breeze.
