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

Its now been a couple weeks and I really love this monitor. I upgraded from a 4k, 27, 60hz display for better gaming AND productivity. My biggest concern was the dpi drop from 4k, and at 100% scaling, some of the smaller text looked a little jagged and uncomfortable to read.. After bumping scaling to 120% though, I am unable to perceive the difference in text between 4k and this display, which came as a shock as Im used to very fine fonts from various macbook pros and phones. Ultrawide feels like a real upgrade from a standard 27, and Im really glad I went that way instead of 2 monitors. Great for coding, and for having 2 to 3 windows open at the same time. Also super happy with it for gaming related stuff. I play competitive fps (csgo mostly, bit of apex, overwatch, valorant) and was worried that this wouldnt be the way to go but man what an upgrade over a 60hz display. 144hz feels like night and day and theres no going back. Havent tested the overclock yet but since it decreases color quality and that 144 feels plenty for how I play, I might not bother with it. Interestingly enough, I dont find the ultrawide to add anything for most games Ive tested. Sure its nice but I dont find games particularly more immersive the way many reviewers experience. Overall, really great product. Its simple, doesnt have any bells and whistles (like pbp/pip, LED and such), but it delivers on its promises. Scored this one for $600 and it really feels worth it.

I bought an LG 34GP83A-B. It works as advertised (with the exception of the setup). I had a Dell 34 UltraSharp wide-screen monitor that has been great for 5+ years. I needed a second wide-screen monitor. I chose this one based on the great price at the time I bought it and based on feedback from friends using the same brand. Pros: The picture quality is at least as good as the Dell I had, if not better. Very pleased with the picture quality. The monitor performance is great. I dont use demanding gaming apps that would require me to take advantage of the overclocking to 160Hz. 144Hz is sufficient for me. I have not tried to use the screen splitting option yet since I have my own pre-existing app that manages it for me. Ill follow up later and update this post after I use the split-screen option from LG. Pro/Con... The pro is it has cable management. It is on the back of the monitor stand if you want to use it. The con is it is too small and weak to support all the cables. I didnt use it for my setup. Setup: I had it as a con, but changed it since the main issue was not the fault of the monitor or LG. The biggest aggravation was the setup. I have two monitors connected to this PC. A 27 BenQ and this one (LG). When I first connected it, both monitors showed as separate monitors. The resolution on the LG defaulted to 1920x1080. I updated my drivers and rebooted. No change. This time my system literally saw both monitors as 1 monitor. Weird. I downloaded the latest driver for my Windows version from the LG website (34GP83A-B.AUS). Attempted to install it and received an error this was not an LG driver. Downloaded again to see if perhaps it was a file issue. Same error. Upgraded my graphics card driver (Nvidia GeForce 3090), rebooted, and the monitor worked. A PCI-to-PCI driver upgrade appeared to fix the issue. However, LG needs to fix its driver or provide a different one. An additional minor issue for me is the monitor stand. The base feet are a little flimsy and stretch out in front of the monitor in a V shape. Takes up to much desktop space. I am able to work around it, but would advise others to keep this in mind when planning your desk layout. Received a response: The LG 34 UltraGear Curved WQHD Nano IPS 1ms 144HZ HDR 400 Monitor with G-SYNC Compatibility, Model # 34GP83A-B is a Plug and Play Monitor. Plug and Play is a feature that allows you to add a device to your computer without having to reconfigure anything or install any manual drivers...^Ivan -- The comment is true. If my PCI-to-PCI adapter was already current, then the monitor would have worked as a plug-and-play. At the time, I didnt know this was the issue initially and struggled with the LG driver for this monitor. My recommendation is still to resolve the LG drive incompatibility issue. 2/11/2023 Additional comments after some time using the monitor. Input Selection: I saw some complaints about the button-style controller that allows you to change monitor settings, including the input source. It did take a minute to get used to it, but it works fine for me, and have no issues with it. Work laptop: I use the DP cable for my personal PC and the HDMI with my work laptop. My work laptop (HP ZBook) has a port replicator that only uses DP connections. I use an HDMI hub to plug all my HDMI connections from my monitors with a DP connection back into the port replicator. This did not work with the LG monitor. Received the same odd errors I had above with my PC and, if I reboot, none of the screens (including the laptop would work). I bought a DP to HDMI converter, bypassed my HDMI hub, and plugged my LG monitor HDMI connection directly into the port replicator using the DP to HDMI converter. Everything works as normal now. The only minor issue is when my laptop goes to sleep and I wake it up, I have a 50/50 chance of the LG monitor not coming on. I disconnect the port replicator from my laptop and plug it back in. LG monitor wakes up. Its a minor workaround. This does seem to coincide with other comments about sleep issues with the monitor. I hope this helps others who are trying to use this for work. Im using Nvidia RTX Desktop Manager to configure split screens on my LG monitor without any issues. I plan on using this for a few months and then will update my post later. So far the monitor has been great!

Replaced some old 27s with these. Picture and performance are amazing. 10-bit color @ 144hz on both of them. Games are fluid and beautiful. Text and charts are clear and sharp. The wide format gives plenty of space. Two displayPort connects instead of 1DP 2HDMI would be nice, but I knew this going in so no issue. The only true flaw concerns DisplayPort deep sleep mode. Most DP monitors have this but many provide a way to disable it. The lack of this feature causes Windows to think the monitor is gone when it enters deep sleep. On waking up, Windows will arrange ALL of your windows on your main monitor, which is extremely annoying. There are numerous people screaming about this online, but so far LG has done nothing, and it affects most if not all of their DisplayPort monitors. There are also numerous fixes online, none of which work. Summary: absolutely get this monitor if you will only be using one screen, and still get it if you can either deal with not sleeping them, or arranging the windows yourself.

Once calibrated to your particular aesthetic standards, the monitor looks incredible. Games feel so much more immersive with this ultrawide, curved monitor. Images look crisp, clear, and vivid, so much so that during gaming sessions I will spend time just observing the scenery and taking in the environment. There is even a setting to calibrate the darkness of the monitor specifically for shadow quality, which makes horror games more frightening and the overall density and quality of shadows much more realistic. Everything from images to games and movies have more precise and scrupulous detail than my previous ASUS 27 monitor. The stand, however, sucks. I dont care about the absence of swivel ability like others do, but the stand has two legs that protrude too far forward past the monitor. This makes positioning a keyboard and mouse very difficult, such that my keyboard has to be set awkwardly over one of the legs and my mouse hits the other leg occasionally when playing a game. Its more of an annoyance than anything else and since the monitor itself is fantastic, I can put up with it. LG, if youre reading this, please develop a better, more space-saving stand with your next iteration of monitors. Thank you.

I just got a monitor with a dead pixel. Therefore, I put 3. I understand that if I ask for a replacement, I have to wait too long in the hope that the next purchase will not have 2 or 5. Its a shame for $ 820.

I got this monitor for sale 25% and I instantly bought it. Soo far the monitor doesnt have dead pixels :) WOOO. I got lucky on the shipping. Pros: Colors are vibrant and pop off Fast response times Cons: HDR is too dark lol The stand takes lots of space and gotta consider bigger desk for it

I like everything about it. Its the best Ive used with my gaming computer.

Let me preface this by saying that I was super worried by this monitor because it would flicker black every 5 seconds. I really didnt want to return it because it had perfect uniformity and no dead pixels. After doing some troubleshooting such as reseating my gpu, the flickering went down to about every 5 minutes. This was both from HDMI and DP ports at all refresh rates. After further research I decided to purchase a new DP cable since many say the included one isnt very good. After using the new cable I havent had any flickering for the entire day. LG should really have better QC on their cables because this could be causing others to RMA the entire monitor possibly due to the cable. The monitor itself has gorgeous colors but only in SDR, the HDR makes it worse and if you have a dark environment your blacks will be muddied and grey. All in all I dont think I can go back to anything else but ultradwide now. The extra width makes it so much more immersive and glad that so many games support it. Its a bigger difference than 4K for PC gaming.

I am so happy I ordered this monitor for my sons 16th Birthday. He absolutely loves it. The quality and picture are excellent. He has no complaints regarding this monitor.

This was an upgrade to my Viotek GNV34DBE ultrawide monitor. The performance to this monitor is very similar to the slightly more expensive 34GN850-B. One thing is that you do not get a USB uplink cable in the box; just the Displayport and power adapter. My monitor has one stuck pixel on the upper left which I cannot RMA because LG is stingy with how many stuck/dead pixels must be on the display to warrant a RMA. Picture quality is pretty good as it is an IPS. But because it is an IPS, especially a Nano IPS, it lacks contrast VA panels typically have. Its noticeable in dark environments such as night time, but I dont notice it that much during the day and I can live with it as I expect IPS displays to not have great contrast. The brightness this monitor can display is good enough for the most part, except in direct sunlight (but your mileage may vary). One thing for sure is the lack of black level smearing and inverse ghosting, which means more clear picture when in motion while playing video games. The 160 HZ option is nice to have, but not that amazing if youre coming from a 144 Hz montior. The inputs are ok, 2 HDMI 2.0 and 1 Displayport 1.4 (not 1.2 as I have found some people have said). Stick to Displayport please, as it is the only input that can support 144 hz and 160 hz. I have mounted this monitor with a monitor arm, so I got nothing to say about the stand. At the end of the day, this monitor is very good and is will be good enough until mid range GPUs can support 3440 x 1440 160 hz at max details, or until the warranty runs out and the monitor spontaneously dies.
