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

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. The LG UltraGear QHD 34-Inch Curved Gaming Monitor is a top-of-the-line option for gamers seeking a high-quality, immersive gaming experience. The 34-inch curved display provides a wide field of view, making it easy to take in all the action on the screen. Perfect for FPS or 3rd person hack and slash games like Sekiro. The QHD resolution ensures that the images are crisp and clear, with vibrant colors and deep blacks. The monitors fast refresh rate and low input lag make for smooth and responsive gameplay. Gamers will enjoy a seamless experience, with no lag or stuttering. The curved design of the monitor also helps to reduce eye strain during extended gaming sessions. This makes the monitor not only a great gaming monitor but also ideal for work, streaming and other multi-media consumption. The monitor also has a variety of convenient features, such as on-screen control and multiple gaming presets. These options allow for easy customization and optimization of your gaming experience. Gamers can tailor the settings to suit their preferences and game types. Overall, this is a great gaming monitor that offers excellent performance, a host of useful features, and an immersive curved design that makes it a standout choice.

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

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

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.

Looks great

Pros + This is the first monitor in nearly a decade that did not come with a single dead pixel on my first attempt. + Minimal backlight bleed and minimal IPS glow (again super surprised I lucked out with this panel on my first try.. Must be some good quality control with LG on this product. + 10Bit color looks amazing, the colors pop + 144hz w/ gsync is super smooth, even more so than my acer x34 w/ native gsync module. Also no flickering w/ gsync enabled. + HDR10 - Dont underestimate it, the panel is bright enough that it actually really looks good in certain games like Mass Effect Legendary Edition, and No Mans Sky. While some games look superior in SDR. Try it out for yourself I was pleasantly surprised. Also disable HDR in windows when not using it in gaming as it washes out the colors of desktop. + The OSD menu is the best menu ive ever used on a monitor. I was effortlessly able to navigate through the whole menu on the first attempt without any training or practice. + Price is decent for what you get, my acer x34 cost 1200 at launch and I paid 799 for this. + Zero ghosting, fast response time, no noticeable input lag + Ultrawide (once you go 21:9 you dont go back) Slim bezels. Also 98% Of my games do support ultrawide resolution. If people tell you otherwise they dont own a ultrawide monitor. + Best resolution IMO, not too hard to run as 4k, while still giving quality image. Can run most of my games at around max refresh rate. But i do have a beefy rig 3080 + 5800X. Cons - While the stand is nice and a bit smaller than the acer x34 stand, its still a large stand and takes up a ton of real-estate on your desk. (easily fixable with an affordable desk monitor arm, which I already had) - One year warranty? isnt nearly long enough for a monitor of this price. - No built-in speakers. This isnt a deal breaker but it was nice to keep the desk looking clutter-free, I bought some new speakers though that give superior sound in every single way, so good trade off. 10/10 Rating, best monitor I have ever owned. Great Quality control (or maybe I just got luck). Hopefully I get a long life out of this monitor like I did my acer x34.

The first one right out of the box had a bad Display Port (it only has one). The HDMI port worked perfectly fine BUT as we know you cant take full advantage of this monitor without using the Display Port due to the resolution and refresh rate. I even spent a ton of time troubleshooting it, if you google the issue a bunch of people reported similar issues on other LG monitors (none were reported for this one so its not model specific). There were some fixes like letting the power completely drain overnight but this didnt work for me and I had to begrudgingly return it and wait for another. The cool thing was Amazon didnt allow for an exchange so I had to do a full return and repurchase - but when I did the monitor went on sale so I saved even more money so it all worked out in the end. I had just bought the 850 version of this monitor before I found out this is a clone to it for a few hundred dollars cheaper. I had both side by side and they are identical. Reviews stated that the back of the monitor was different between the two versions and there were reports of different OSD interfaces, as of November 2020 this is no longer the case, the only way you can tell the difference is looking at the sticker that has the model number listed. Oh and the cardboard boxes had slightly different sized text on them and obviously the 850 has a nice cardboard box for the accessories and extra HDMI cables if we really want to get technical... Zero issues with back-lighting. Had to adjust colors a bit so not sure if the 850 has better calibration or if just a fluke. Gsync works great (compatible with Gsync, does not have the chip built in however). Very high quality monitor and surprisingly light but I guess thats how modern screens are. This was significantly lighter than the 27inch it replaced so the articulating monitor arm moves like a dream now. Very happy with the screen, only giving it 4 stars because of the first one being DOA and seemingly something that wouldnt have cropped after it left the factory...

Overall a fantastic monitor for the purchase price of $800. I see the price fluctuating pretty frequently, so how much it costs you may be different. Pros: - 160hz for an ultrawide is excellent. - Works great with gsync. - Color quality is great. - Works great over HDMI and DisplayPort with windows. - Low motion blur. - No noticeable input lag. - The HDR color depth is awesome. Just disable the local dimming or it can get annoying. - Decent backlight bleed and IPS glow for an IPS panel. Definitely less bleed than the other 3 IPS panels that Ive owned, and the backlight bleed is fairly evenly distributed. Neutral: - Managing an OSD (on screen display) with just the nipple is passable. As I switch inputs pretty often, my Alienware monitor let me set up a shortcut to double tap a dedicated button on the monitor to switch between HDMI and Displayport. This monitor requires you to always navigate the OSD menus (even though it doesnt take too much to switch inputs). - The curve is subtle and is just fine. No complaints, nothing great about it either. Cons: - Does not work properly at 160hz at full resolution (1440p ultrawide) when connected to my Macbook over HDMI. The Macbook will only allow 50hz, meaning everything feels choppy. Its a borderline-acceptable framerate for text-only workflows or just browsing the web. - Overall build quality is just good, which kinda sucks for an $800+ monitor. The plastic on the back feel flimsy. - Local dimming is TERRIBLE. I highly recommend disabling local dimming but enabling HDR for the extra color depth. Conslusion: An excellent monitor for productivity and gaming, with just a couple minor gripes that prevent it from being perfect IMO.

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.

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.
