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

I used to run with a 3 monitor configuration for a while, 2 horizontal 1 vertical. But this has changed my work / play life. Ample space, Crisp Images, Sexy as hell on my desk. Its big af make sure you have a large desk. Easy Easy to built. Make sure your video card supports the resolution and hz. LG for sure kicked ass with this one. If you dont have the cash get in debt, it will be the best investment ever. Perfect for designers, coders, gamers.

Phenomenal monitor. Having included speakers made the decision easy for me. And the speakers are sufficient for gaming in a small room. If your sitting a little ways away I would still want a set of secondary speakers but everything else is exactly how described or even better than you see.. very happy. Good screen for in between 1080 and 4k. If you are looking to upgrade but not for the price of a good 4k monitor this is a a great alternative. Everything is amazing but be ready you cant hit the 120hz on a PS5 because 5he PS5 does not support display port input so under HDMI you can only achieve 60 hz and their are no adapters that go from display port to hdmi that can make a standard HDMI cord achieve 120hz. The only thing I wish I could change is that.

Beast of a monitor, when I am working it is like having a triple monitor setup, and when I am gaming it is very fast and immersive.

I really cant complain with this beast of a monitor. I was running on a 1660 super but sadly this card was not up to this monitor, as I had estimated before purchasing. I have since upgraded to a 3060 ti and everything is running very smooth. This monitor is everything I had hoped for the price and I would recommend to anyone looking for an entry or budget ultrawide monitor. You cant go wrong with LG monitors.

This is a review for the LG 34GP83A. I saved up for months to get an ultrawide curved and Im enamored with the quality that LG has delivered. Shopping for a monitor is a really confusing endeavor - the naming scheme is bonkers, its hard to understand what combination of specifications meet your needs, and theres seemingly no satisfactory quality control. That last point is crucial. Youre spending top dollar on a screen that may have dead pixels, backlight bleed, stuttering, flickering, cracks, chips, or any dozen other imperfections. And some companies wont offer you a replacement because they allot a certain number of factory imperfections. It makes you feel like youre gambling. Its ridiculous. Ill make this as simple as I can for those of you like me who are only looking for a monitor to game on. This monitor runs at 144 Hz at 1440p, which is the current sweet spot for gaming. There are higher resolutions out there, but most games arent optimized to run at this many frames per second at 4k. As someone who has owned a max 60 FPS 1080p monitor for the past decade, the upgrade is tremendous. Games run so beautifully smooth, like nothing youve seen before. Just be sure to enable your monitor because out-of-the-box they dont run at the advertised refresh rate. On Windows 10, go to Settings > System > Display > Advanced Display Settings > Display Adapter Properties and click on the Monitor tab to choose 144 Hz. You also need to use the included display port cable. 21:9 is the aspect ratio which is what defines the ultrawide experience. Most movies are filmed in a 21:9 ratio (hence the black bars). I find it absolutely incredible at immersing me into the game. Not all games are supported at 21:9, in which case youll play with vertical black bars on either side, which is not a problem at all since the game itself still runs beautifully. For games that are supported, though...hoo-boy, I can never go back. I primarily play empire-building and RTS-style games. Games like Total War: Warhammer 2, Age of Empires II, Frostpunk, Civilization V, and XCOM 2 were meant to be played on a screen like this. As soon as you get your monitor make sure to run a dead pixel check using sites like lcdtech.info. NOTE: WIPE YOUR MONITOR WITH A MICROFIBER BEFORE TESTING. I want to let the world know that Im an idiot who thought that three motes of dust were dead pixels. At this price point, there should be no excuse for factory imperfections and you deserve the monitor you paid for. In summary, this monitor makes me happy to come home from work every day. I enthusiastically recommend it.

For what im going for, this does everything i could want and more. Imo, this monitor has the best frame rate, response time, and image quality for a consumer. Most hardware cant push this many pixels in aaa games to 144fps let alone above, and it also has great color recreation, with over 95%dci-p3 coverage. Its not the brightest screen by any means, so if youre going to be exposed to a lot of direct sunlight, or an extremely bright office consuming media this could cause issues. I can get the cursor to ghost if i flick the mouse fast enough over a dark background, but it doesnt do that with anything else. I turn off motion blur in games because it doesnt ghost the images at all. High frame rate and low response time improved my accuracy significantly. Its not fast enough for actual exports but the esports monitors dont have this color accuracy, which makes long sessions really comfortable. The ultrawide with a slight curve works well, it fills your field of view and is almost like VR. For writing essays, this works well, too. I like to have multiple webpages open at a time and this is almost like having 2 monitors, to work with that are always in alignment. because its curved, you can still comfortably read text at the corners of the ultrawide screen. For the price, this thing is best in class for consumer gaming if you like color accuracy/hdr in your media in the 700$ or less price bracket 2021. No dead pixels, after about 3 and a half months. Will edit if things change.

I love this monitor it really changed my workflow definitely worth the price

If you have a larger decent 1080p 144hz monitor you will not see or experience a significant diffetence. You will most likely be annoyed by the raised blacks and strangely exaggerated colors. I used a colorimeter to calibrate it. It is better than older tech in some subtle ways and much worse in some significantly irritating ways. Performance drop going from a good looking 144hz 16x9 screen at 1080p is huge and very abnoxious using a 3070ti which is a very powerful graphics card. Build quality is noticably worst than older predator monitors. It has virtually no features compared to my older predator which had much better blacks on top of eye tracking built in. The wide screen is very nice for desktop work but is it hundreds of dollars nice? 50/50 on that. Ultimately it leaves a very underwhelming impression.

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

I’m giving this monitor 4 stars instead of the 5 because it is advertised to run higher refresh rates at 1440p when this is not true when playing on the PS5. I’m sure it runs great on a PC and of course the PS5 is no PC, but there wasn’t anything clear about this issue in the specs when doing my research. I only found out after a very disappointing unboxing and several attempts to figure it out. So if you are on PS5 and looking for that new 120hz capability, look elsewhere. This monitor is not going to cut it.
