good if it's not mounted on a wall mount
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.good monitor overall if your not mounting it on a wall mount or multi screen setup as the vesa bracket makes it hard to plug in an input with it mounted (unless you cut the mount with a grinder, it will not work)
No, I would not recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Screen size
LG Monitor
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The picture quality is good, but it kind of squishes the image instead of widening it. It’s not that flexible to adjust the height either.

Curved monitor
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Would be great if it was compatible with anything I have. Neither my PC or Xbox would hook up. Read several other reviews that had the same problem. Also had to download a manual that was no help.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot bad
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It does alright for games and stuff. But mostly a work horse. Its been a great monitor though.
I would recommend this to a friendOne HDMI port and DP port
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the Ultra-wide monitor, but it only has one HDMI port and DP port. And the DP port doesn’t even work. The reason I bought it was to use it with two computers. Now I need to constantly swap the HDMI cables to use my two computers.
I would recommend this to a friendUltrawide FHD AMD Monitor
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.great but probably should have gotten a rounded one
I would recommend this to a friendResolution??
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I pirchased this today without checking the resolution closely. The display model in the store looked great butcwhen i took it home and hooked it up it hit me. I double checked the specs and sure enough … the resolution was notcwhat you would expect. Larger icons which make the screen space fedl like a much smaller monitor. So i returned it and spent an extra $20 for the samsung. Worth the $20 to get the samsung IMHO.

Posted .Hi, Bill. Thank you for taking the time to review the LG Monitor (34WQ500-B) model. This unit has a resolution of 2560x1080 pixels, which falls under the category of Ultra-Wide Full HD (UW-FHD). While this resolution provides a wider aspect ratio, it may result in larger icons and a perception of reduced screen space compared to higher-resolution monitors.
We understand if this didn't meet your expectations. It's good to know you found a good alternative in the Samsung monitor, even if it cost a bit more. If you have more questions or need help with other products, reach out to us on social media @LGUSSupport. ^Juvy
Not great quality with a MacBook M1 2020
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Poor text quality connected to a MacBook Pro M1 2020. I spoke to LG customer service and Apple tech and no luck helping me with the fact that text on the screen appeared blurry. I tried with an hDMI cable and USC-C adapter and also with an HDMI and USB-C cable. No luck either way. Slightly blurry txt was way too annoying- I have to return it.

Depend on what you use this for.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.1080p on an ultra wide monitor might be pushing it. Colors are great, gaming is decent. But wouldn’t recommend this for multi tasking or serious work projects
No, I would not recommend this to a friendOverpriced and Low Quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Functionality wise its great and does what you need it to but in 2024 a 1080p ultrawide shouldnt exist. Theres competitors offering a higher quality viewing experience at 1440p for the same if not a cheaper price. Pros: Easy Setup Cons: Very short power cable Low resolution Higher price than competitors offering better performance

Posted .Hi there. Thank you for sharing your feedback on the LG 34WQ500-B. We’re pleased to hear that you find the functionality of the monitor great and that setup was easy. However, we understand your concerns regarding the resolution and power cable length. Your feedback is valuable, and we will share it with our product team for future improvements. For now, you might consider using an extension cable for the power cord to address the short cable issue.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Resolution was poor on documents. My new laptop would not adapt to the screen time.

I would recommend this to a friendMore issues than expected

No, I would not recommend this to a friendTerrible customer service
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wish I could give a zero. This was a store return I bought as a gift. When we opened it and hooked it up it didn't work (the display looked like someone smashed or broke it internally). So I went to return it and discovered the return period had passed because they only give you 15 days on store returns (I was 2 days late). I called and they refused to make an exception. Beware of store returns that say there were inspected and are in "Excellent" condition. They just tape up the box and resell it even if it doesn't work. Hopefully my credit card company will reverse the charges for this sham. Never again BestBuy.

Best monitor for works
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great for working on power bi reports and formatting. Wouldn’t recommend this monitor for gaming.
I would recommend this to a friendmeh, it works
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It does what is supposed to do but now that I have it I would probably go with a different product
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGood while it lasted.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Barely 2 years of usage and unable to turn on. 1st LG product and probably the last. I have used other brands with no need to attempt a repair in 5 years. Performance wise, nothing spectacular and does what it is supposed to do prior to going blank.

The worst monitor I’ve ever had
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Terrible, only works in specific Resolutions, no speakers for that price, and it feels cheap. My $75 22” monitor from Wally World is better. This is a giant paperweight
