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

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).

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.

This is a review for the LG 34GP83A-B. Wow! I am an avid gamer who plays all genres, from fast-paced competitive FPS games, Open world RPGs and real-time strategy games and also watch a lot of videos and movies on my PC. I did a lot of research before choosing this monitor and it did not disappoint. This appears to be the exact same panel as the LG 34GN850 that was released several months prior for $1000 with the only difference being the logo on the back and less cables included in the box. Coming from a 27 Acer Predator IPS, which I believed to be one of the best gaming monitors, This LG UltraGear completely destroys it. The Colors are extremely accurate and the response time, while not a true 1ms GtG, is still faster and smoother than any monitor Ive ever used. The 10-bit panel at 144hz is essential for color accuracy while maintaining butter smooth motion. Overclocking to 160hz lowers the panel to 8-bit, but I cant tell the difference between 144hz and 160hz so I just leave it at 144hz to get the color advantage of a 10-bit panel. My only complaints is that the monitor does not have a dedicated G-Sync module, which I feel like an $800 monitor should have. That being said, it is Gsync Compatible and certified by Nvidia to work with Gsync, and I have had no screen tearing unless the framerate drops below 50fps as the freesync premium only supports a minimum of 48fps. This monitor has HDR10 support and is HDR400 certified but I would have liked the monitor to be brighter. Peak brightness is just over 400 nits, which is plenty bright for most use-cases but for HDR content, 400 nits just isnt quite enough to get an immersive HDR experience. Overall, this is BY FAR the fastest, smoothest and most satisfying gaming monitor Ive ever used. It is worth ever penny at $799 and I would highly recommend it.

Everyone who is a GAMER must own this monitor. It is by far the best and most superior monitor ever and for this price its a complete steal!!! I highly recommend this for anyone who is looking to buy one. GET THIS!!

Picture is a huge upgrade over 1920 /1080p , ultra wide 34inch is huge for pc gaming, no dead pixels! For $300 this is a must buy!

Received my monitor on 2/10/23, it was sold by Amazon.com Services LLC and shipped from Amazons warehouse via Prime Shipping, not a 3rd party. Amazon has reviews for this monitor mixed in with one of a different model # so pay attention to what youre reading. Also, theres at least a dozen reviews here mentioning dead or stuck pixels, let me remind you that most of the time, people who receive a good working product do not take the time to write a review, but people who receive a bad product usually will. That will skew the written reviews of a product to make it appear bad. After I received this monitor, I set it up without even peeling the protective plastic off the trim, and ran Dead Pixel Check for probably a good half hour. I found no dead or stuck pixels anywhere. The much maligned IPS Glow or uneven backlight that people complain about is practically nonexistent on this panel. Yes you can see some, ever so slightly in the corners, but this is the 4th IPS display that Ive bought over the years(Im 53) and honestly its the best Ive seen. Something else worth mentioning, this monitor has what may look to you like a screen protector that should be peeled off, dont try doing that, its an anti-glare sheet put on from the factory to give the display a matt finish. If I end up having future problems with this monitor, be it dead/stuck pixels or backlight problems, I will update this review. So far though its the best non-OLED display Ive seen.

I love this monitor, absolutely perfect for me and my needs for consuming content and playing games. Would have rated 5 stars, but Ive had a problem with the display. When I first got it, I noticed immediately there was a dead pixel. Returned it and got a new one in a timely manner so I wasnt very upset, mistakes happen. Recently though, about 7 months after the replacement arrived I noticed another pixel that could no longer display red. I checked the monitor when I first got it so i know it developed over time, but Im a bit frustrated as Ive had 2 much cheaper monitors for 5 years and they both have no dead pixels. Im not sure if Im unlucky or if its a quirk of the panel, either way I wanted to reflect that in this review.

The monitor that I am used to and use as a benchmark is a monitor from my MSI63 Stealth gaming laptop. It offers quite a powerful display even though it came out in 2018. Since then I upgraded to the Dell 34in Curved Monitor S3422DW. That was a big leap from my gaming laptop so going back from the dell to my MSI display to this was like discovering fire.

Im mostly writing this to inform other Linux users who use Nvidia GPUs my experience with the UltraGear, and not hey look at me Im a Linux user. The Distro I use is KDE-Neon, RTX 2060 Super, version 470 drivers. For me, Gsync works out of the box. You will need to turn off your Compositor for Gsync to activate. I have not tested Freesync but I assume it would work since thats up to the monitor. I was dreading the first time I turned the monitor, since I had read other reviews here talk about dead pixels, which happens on all monitors, and unfortunately when I turned it on I found 3 spots that had 4 or 5 dead pixels. Fortunately, I quickly fixed them and theyve stayed on since. If you find dead pixels on your monitor, there is a trick you can do by lightly massaging, in a circular motion, the area of the dead pixel with the tip of your finger or thumb. Youll want your monitor on while doing this and the easiest way to see the dead pixels is to full screen a very bright, white image. Back-light bleed is an unfortunate downside of IPS screens, and my screen does have some, but its extremely minimal and only in the corners, and the amount of bleed is very even on each corner which was very nice. Ive read some reviews where people have showed their distaste with a Vignetting effect along the top of the screen. I personally have noticed absolutely no vignetting on my screen. The stand is very slim, but does take up a large footprint, and if your desk is cramped or shallow, you may have to make space or may find that its just too close to your face to be comfortable. My 20 deep desk just isnt enough space for a comfortable viewing distance. If your desk also has a built on shelf above where the monitor sits, you will want to measure the space so youre not surprised when it doesnt fit into it. The supplied DisplayPort Cable is plenty adequate for 3440x1440 at 160hz. Mine did not come with a Type A to Type B USB cable to use the USB pass-through ports on the monitor. I believe my box may have been opened before since one of the hand holes for the styrofoam was broken, and the USB cable may have been taken. Brightness is substantial, Ive never seen another monitor this bright before. But thats coming from someone who has been using 2 ASUS PB278Qs for the past 10 years. Since my screen has very minimal back-light bleed, the blacks are very dark, even for an IPS. The menu navigation is very straightforward and responsive. 8 different modes. The fake HDR mode is a gimmick, but does have very high contrast. The 160hz overclock setting works as intended. Gamer 1 is the setting I use at all times. There is a quick select outside of the menu to change modes.

I was very sceptical about buying this monitor for many reasons, main one being the lack of reviews not just here, but all over the internet. it seemed as though LG wanted to keep this monitor under wraps.... but wow let me tell you i am truly impressed with this monitor. right out of the box the colours didnt need much tuning at all. My eyes may not be trained to nicer monitors, coming from a 1080 165 hz monitor, but from what the reviews i watched said, i was expecting it to be on the dimmer side at 300 nits, but its more than i could ever need. HDR is fine nothing to rave about, and a mild amount of ghosting. ive tested it on a few titles such as fortnite, call of duty, and spider man for the full ultrawide experience and i cant say i was dissatisfied at all with the colors or anything major. I got this on sale for 300 and i couldnt be happier with the purchase. For anyone whose sceptical about buying it, just do it you will be happy especially if youre coming from a 1080p monitor or below. its only day one for me, so this is a disclaimer. I will report back a few months from now to see if everything stays as great as it is. thanks for coming to my ted talk
