Would definitely recommend! Perfect size and true blacks

it feels so fit & cool in my table desk, easy to assemble too

This monitor is amazing. I can’t change back to smaller screens!!

Purchased an open box item in "excellent condition." Once I set it up I noticed there was a big scratch on the screen. I returned it within an hour of purchasing. The sales associate assured me the labeling was a mistake as items labeled as "excellent" don't have scratches. He said it must have been poorly reviewed when it was returned originally and mislabeled as "excellent." I got a refund with no issues. However, my gripe now is that they charged me a $5 restocking fee and won't refund it to me. I only returned it because of the scratch. Best Buy is charging me $5 for something that wasn't my fault. Won't be buying open box items anymore.

Need to upgrade a monitor? Do you need a monitor that works for both productivity and gaming? If the answer to both is yes, I would certainly recommend looking into this LG UltraGear OLED monitor. Not only does it provide an immersive experience, but the monitor is big enough to have multiple windows displayed which allows you to multitask like never before. In this review, I will go over my experience using the LG UltraGear 34” OLED Curved Gaming Monitor. Note that I tested the monitor on a gaming PC and the PS5. *TLDR at the bottom ============== IN THE BOX/SETUP: Once you have the box in front of you, be sure to open the box on the correct side to make setup easier. Once everything is put together, it is as simple as plug-and-play. One minor downside to this monitor is the massive power supply. It is large, and to those with limited space, it may be a burden. You will also receive a high-speed HDMI 2.1 cable Display Port cable, and a USB-A to USB-B cable. ============== FIRST IMPRESSIONS: One of the first things you will notice about this monitor is its sheer size. I am used to 24”-27” monitors and moving to something of this size does take some time getting used to. This does have an OLED display, so the colors are vibrant, and the viewing angles are incredible. Minimal bezels also contribute to the immersive experience. The stand is on the larger end so be sure to have some space available on your desk or wherever you plan to place this monitor. For something of this size, it would’ve been neat if a controller was included, to access settings, there is a joystick located on the monitor’s rear. The joystick works fine as it is but having a controller would’ve been a great addition. ============== FEATURES: This monitor contains plenty of worthwhile features. Physically, the monitor has what LG calls “Hexagon Lighting” which is simply RGB on the rear of the monitor. This can be configured to either be a static color or a cycle of colors. You will need to do this through the monitor’s settings. This is an OLED monitor, and as a result, you will get a wide array of accurate and vibrant colors. Whether you are gaming, or watching a film, the display does a fantastic job of immersing you into the scene. I was also able to use the monitor to get some work done, and simply put, it’s a great monitor for multitasking. Having multiple windows displayed on one monitor without cutting a lot of the window off is akin to having two small displays right by each other. ============== PERFORMANCE: Now, for the good stuff! I will start with performance using a gaming PC since that is what most people will be using this monitor for. Do note that I ran everything on a rig with a 3070 and an i7. One of the main selling points of this monitor is the 0.03 response time and the 240Hz refresh rate. I did have to play around with some settings to get the performance needed but once I did, the difference is as clear as day! It’s especially clear in FPS games like Destiny 2. I am usually a quality-over-performance type of person but being able to see less motion blur at the cost of quality was surreal. I also played Forza Horizon 5, which wasn’t as clear, but I was still able to notice less motion blur. As for the response time, it's so low that I did not get a “ghosting” of any image in whatever I was doing! The OLED display certainly helps in bringing out the blacks in games. This was clear in Destiny 2 and in Control which has many dark areas. If needed, blacks can be brightened up even more within the monitor’s settings. The PS5, while it only supports up to 120Hz, played well on the monitor but there are drawbacks. The OLED and QHD display bring out the beautiful and vibrant colors of games like Far Cry 6. Unfortunately, the console is best played at a 16:9 aspect ratio which places black bars on the sides. Playing on a 21:9 aspect ratio will stretch the image and I’m not sure about you, but the last thing I want is to be aiming at stretched faces while playing FC6. Besides this issue, the PS5 runs smoothly and looks amazing on this monitor. ============== CONCLUSION/TLDR: Overall, this is a great Ultra-Wide gaming monitor. It is on the more expensive side, but these tend to go on discount every once in a while. Once it does, I strongly think you should give this gaming monitor a shot. Not only does it provide a more immersive experience when playing games or watching a film, but it also provides the ability to multitask for those who work on their computer on a daily basis. If you are thinking of using this for console gaming, I do recommend you look somewhere else, there are more suitable options out there for your console.

I recently added a new PC to my setup and realized that my old monitor wasn’t going to cut it any longer. I had a 4K monitor, but it’s refresh rate was only 60hz. This LG monitor provides a 240hz refresh rate which makes everything smoother when I play Call of Duty. The only downside was that I was sacrificing the 4K resolution for 1440HD. When I sat this LG WQHD side by side with the 4K I already had, I was shocked at how good the picture is on the LG. It’s stunning. And the curve of the screen is superb for an immersive feel when you play games or watch any media. The sheer size of the monitor commands attention. Transitioning from smaller screens may require an adjustment period, but the payoff is immense. The OLED display dazzles with vibrant colors and impeccable viewing angles, drawing you into the action. While the stand demands desk real estate, its minimal bezels contribute to an immersive visual experience. Set up of the monitor was super easy. It is compatible with a VESA mount, but the stand is very cool, too. The control stick is at the center of the screen and a little tricky to use, but it is a minor complaint in an otherwise phenomenal screen. The monitor features 2 x HDMI ports and 1 x DisplayPort. I would have liked to see a USB-C port as well. Another things to be aware of is that this monitor uses 21:9 aspect ratio and some games may not go full screen because of this. This aspect ratio also comes with a higher price. The LG UltraGear packs a punch with its array of features. From customizable RGB lighting to OLED technology, every detail is optimized for peak performance. Multitasking is a breeze with ample screen real estate, akin to having multiple monitors seamlessly integrated into one. Overall this monitor is glorious. It is a game-changer in every sense of the word. While it may come with a premium price tag, the investment is well worth it for enthusiasts seeking the pinnacle of visual performance. From deep blacks to vibrant colors, every aspect of this monitor is meticulously crafted to elevate your gaming and multimedia experience. If you're ready to take the leap into OLED technology, the LG UltraGear belongs at the top of your wishlist.There are just a few minor things that would make this a PERFECT monitor — even at WQHD and not 4K.

This is my first oled monitor or tv and seeing it in my house compared to under the bright lights of a store, is truly amazing when it comes to colors. The vibrancy of the screen even having a matte finish is truly something I wished I would have experienced earlier, as even games you’ve been playing for a long time just feel different. The 240 hz and .03 milliseconds response time make everything buttery smooth. When playing games such as GTA 5, Red Dead Redemption and Elden Ring, the worlds truly come to life with how vibrant they are and the curve just makes it that much more immersive. I used the VESA mount option to mount mine but the mount that comes with it is very robust and allows for multiple positions. You get a display port cable, hdmi 2.1 cable and a USB A to B cable. The screen cleaning feature is a nice addition and just gives you that piece of mind that you don’t have to worry about burn in. The only button is on the back at the bottom and is easy to miss if you’re not looking for it. This gives you access to all the settings such as the screen cleaning feature, changing inputs, power and more. Unfortunately you can’t give half stars but if you could, this monitor to me is really a 4.5 out of 5 and the biggest reason is the price. If it was a maybe a couple hundred cheaper it would easily be a 5. With that said, you know you’re buying a monitor from one of the leaders in the OLED market. If you haven’t experienced an OLED monitor and are ready to take your gaming to the next level, this monitor needs to be on your short list! It has blacks that are so deep you’ll think the monitor is off when the screen is completely black and colors that are just incredible.

What an upgrade! The LG UltraGear 34" OLED Curved WQHD 240Hz Monitor made a huge improvement to how my games and multi-media content look. Gaming performance is a dream. Gaming on 3440 x 1440 at 240hz creates an incredibly immersive experience. I’m running a Radeon 7800XT and finally getting to see all it has to offer. With a reported 0.03ms response time you will never have to worry about ghosting or unintentional motion blur. This is my first OLED gaming experience, and I cannot believe how deep the blacks are and how vibrant the colors are. Honestly, Cyberpunk 2077 has never looked better. Night City truly came alive, and neon never looked so good. With the addition of HDR10 the depths, shadows, and explosions are unreal. I generally arm mount my monitors so VESA mount is a must. Installation was easy and my existing arm worked like a charm. The 800R curve was more than I was used to. It did take a few days for me to get comfortable with the steep wrap, but it really does you into whatever you are working on. The aesthetic is minimal with sleek black bezels and nothing too out of character. The manual control button is hidden in the back directly in the center of the monitor. I spent way too long feeling around the corners before just spinning the monitor around and finding it in the center. Not a placement I’ve experienced before with manual monitoring controls, but not really an issue afterwards. The LG UltraGear 34" OLED is a work of art. If you’re ready to elevate your gaming and multi-media experience, put this monitor on your shortlist. Deep blacks, incredible colors, and silky-smooth performance—it’s a one of the best around.

For the price you are paying, this monitor is well worth it. Very smooth frame rate, nice quality, and very quick to start when it comes to gameplay. Highly recommend.

34" Monitor with a near under $500 dollar discount. I am enjoying my current gaming setup with this display a comparable center piece with my build. The details and all accuracy is exceeding expectations, thanks to the 240Hz. My only gripe is the fact this model does not include a remote where a less model does. I have been playing competitively with little concerns. The Oled even offers self cleaning. Cannot wait to see how this monitor handles as the years go. 11.14.25

Super nice display and FPS are excellent as well cant go wrong

Text doesn’t appear as well as you’d like. Gamer picture profiles are pretty intense. Input amount (2 hdmi and 1 do) is absolutely perfect amount. The auto on and auto select the input when a device is powered on is perfect. The lighting on the back of the monitor add some nice soft lighting for a computer desk. The curve of the screen is very nice wrap around you. Easy to see sides and the extra width does provide more focus in games when most of the action happens directly in front of what you’re looking at. Game UI elements are pushed more to the sides. Very nice.

By the far the best gaming monitor I've had the pleasure of using yet! The colors, refresh rate, and build quality really make this monitor stand out. The HDR is pretty good as well and performs very well for high end gaming. Would definitely recommend to anybody looking for a solid high refresh rate monitor that enjoys quality and performance.

I couldn't be happier with the LG OLED 34-inch curved monitor! The stunning OLED display delivers incredible picture quality with vibrant colors, deep blacks, and excellent contrast, making everything look incredibly lifelike. The 34-inch curved screen provides an immersive viewing experience, whether I'm working, gaming, or binge-watching my favorite shows. The curvature really enhances comfort and reduces eye strain during long sessions. The build quality is top-notch, and the design is sleek and modern. Additionally, the monitor’s fast response time and wide viewing angles make it a fantastic choice for both productivity and entertainment. Overall, this monitor has exceeded my expectations — a perfect upgrade for anyone wanting a premium visual experience!

Amazing 3k OLED curved monitor. Exceptional for the games that I play on. Also, worth the price point at the time of purchase for $800.00 new.

Monitor has a amazing picture!!! Nearly feels like your watching the game through just a window. Worth the price in my opinion. Definitely Recommend.

This is my first curved gaming monitor I’ve ever had and it’s beautiful! From the build, to the fluid beautiful screen it’s everything you could want in a curved display and I’m very satisfied with my purchase

Awesome product i had a macbook and couldn't even use the full power and was still impressed with the quality

I am extremely satisfied with going for a high quality monitor of this caliber. The price was a bit intimidating, but a monitor is something you use every time you are on your PC, so it shouldn't be overlooked as long as you have the hardware to use it. The size and curve of the OLED screen is perfect, but I did like the 49" version LG has to offer as well. For my office/gaming PC setup, the 34" was perfect to accompany my other two existing monitors. I truly couldn't imagine how high quality this monitor was, coming from a 144HZ 1080p 24" flat screen. I wouldn't go back. After 5 months of use with zero issues, I am more than happy with the purchase and spending the extra money. I pair this monitor with an Intel 14700k/Nvidia 4080 Super, I have no issues at all with gaming. A buddy of mine used this with a 4070 Super and a 13 gen Intel CPU, his experience was as good as mine.

game changer. the dark colors are so crisp and dark it makes it harder to see in some games as it was meant to be.
