Customers recognize the UltraGear 34” IPS monitor's exceptional picture quality, citing vibrant colors, sharpness, and impressive graphics. The high refresh rate is also frequently praised, with users highlighting its smoothness for gaming and the option to overclock for even higher performance. Many appreciate the HDR capabilities, noting improved visuals and vibrant colors. Positive feedback also includes the effective local dimming feature, enhancing the overall viewing experience.
This monitor is amazing! It's faster and brighter than its big brother the LG 38GL950G-B (albeit with a slightly lower resolution and pixel density) the colors really do pop in gaming and the HDR is noticeably better due to its GSync Ultimate certification. It overclocks to 180 hz but you have to lower the color depth to 8 bit to accomplish this. Personally, I can't see a difference between 8 bit or 10 bit. If you don't want to lower the color depth you can still run it at 144 hz at 10 bit color. Additionally, it has exceptional low input lag for an IPS panel, it's Vesa DislplayHDR 600 certified, and it has 56 edge lit dimming zones. This further explains the reason its brighter than previous LG ultrawide displays. Even though it lacks full array local dimming, I think you will be pleasantly surprised at it's performance given it's price point. If you are looking for an amazing gaming monitor then this might be the one for you.

Wow. Just.... wow. I've been anxiously awaiting the 34" QD-OLED that Dell/Alienware released this year - however, at this time, it seems as if it will be another year beofre they even catch up to pre-orders. I saw this on an "open box" sale at my local Best Buy. I visit the store frequently and know some of the staff there - so when they told me they were present when it was tested and that it worked flawlessly, I believed them. After spending about the next 40 minutes reading reviews and investigating this panel online I noticed it was the same (but upgraded) LG Nano-IPS panel that was in my HP Omen 27i monitor that I was incredibly happy with. Other than not being OLED, this thing ticked all my boxes. It's a curved (yes, curved) IPS panel (hard to find) it has GeForce Ultimate, 144-180hz (overclocked), a 1ms response time, the same PPI as a 27" monitor, local dimming (yes! Local dimming, so HDR that doesn't suck! *though, still not as good as FALD monitors*) and every other bell and whistle you can shake a stick at. Plus, it's an LG panel so no ghosting, reverse ghosting or artifacts anywhere to be found... Plus, it's a 10 bit panel that is calibrated out of the box. Specs aside, nothing will prepare you for the shock and awe you will experience when turning this thing on to a game like Red Dead Redemption maxed out, with HDR on, on a 6900XT. The RGB on the back is BRIGHT. It lights up my entire wall -- and, surprisingly, the LG software that is used to change the lighting features the ability to change the RGB based on what you are seeing on the screen. This is similar to the 'Govee Immersion' kit i was planning to buy, so i was pleasantly surprised to see that I no longer needed it. I have wondered for years why all monitors with RGB features on the back side don't already have this so I was pleasantly surprised with this as an added bonus. Conclusion: Worth. Every. Penny. Don't think about it. Buy it.

This is a great monitor, HD images and fast refresh rate. It does take a little time to become use to the ultra-wide screen but now I love the expanded field of view. I first I wasn’t happy about not having internal speakers but once I pared it with the Insignia Sound Bar it quickly became a non issue. There were really no issues in setting it up once I located the hat switch under the center portion of the monitor. I am very happy with this purchase and can highly recommend it.
