It’s totally game changer for me. After one year w/ laptop 15”, finally I can work with pleasure. For 799$ on sale nothing could be better! Really helpful purchase!!!

Thing of beauty. Fits my desk setup just right. The curve is aggressive but it’s very easy to adjust to it. The picture quality is superb and setup was a breeze.

Takes some time to to get used to the curve, the width is very good for productivity and gaming, the blacks need to be adjusted to get the right balance, sometimes the monitor got too bright

This 34 inch curved monitor is the perfect size and provides crystal clear quality along with great performance as well. 100% think it is worth the money.

Overall the monitor is very cool, but I bought an open box in excellent condition, well unfortunately it came with a stain on the matrix, most likely the foam plastic was rubbed, well I liked it so much that I decided to spit and keep it for myself, thanks best buy)

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.

I have another really nice curved ultrawide monitor and this LG makes that one look flat. Like I can't tell the other one even has a curve when it's sitting above this one. I didn't think it would make a huge difference but I really like the more exaggerated curve on this one. Front loading, I like this monitor a lot and it's taken my Alienware's place as my main monitor.
Setup was pretty easy aside from one hiccup that isn't a fault of the monitor (it's actually one of it's strengths) but I feel like it's something to keep in mind if you're looking at this monitor or any other high framerate monitor. They use an enhanced DisplayPort 1.4a with DSC (Display Stream Compression) which allows the a "lossless" compressed image to be pushed over the same cable, but because it's compressed, you can squeeze a lot more frames out. What you need to consider is if you're using all four ports on your graphics card already. I can't vouch for AMD but my NVIDIA graphics card uses two of it's ports when connected to a DSC display, essentially making one port non-functional. You don't have to worry about this if you're not using all of the ports on your graphics card, but something to think about if you are. Otherwise, the monitor is just plug and play and works great right out of the box. I understand my use-case is a little more niche but I hope I save someone from the troubleshooting time I put in.
The menu on the monitor is pretty standard fare. You can adjust the picture and most of the settings you'd expect. The key feature for me was the compatibility mode that allows you to turn off DSC (which brings the refresh rate down to 144, but allows me to use all of my ports when I need to). You access the menu from a button right under the front center of the monitor so it's easy to use and doesn't stand out. The picture in picture mode was the one hiccup I ran across. It seemed like once I turned it on, there wasn't an option to toggle it off unless I assigned it to one of the two front menu shortcuts. I may have missed something here but I looked for the option to toggle it back off for a while.
One of my biggest complaints about the installation is a lack of any sort of hiding solution for your cables when you are VESA mounting. Sadly, the input chamber is a bit too shallow and without some external organizational tools, they stick out of the bottom of the monitor. If you're using the included stand, I don't think this will be an issue. The stand looks to be pretty sturdy and easy to install and should do a good job hiding your cables.
Ports, I was also a little disappointed by at first but I think I'll actually end up preferring this. My older monitor had two DisplayPort inputs and one HDMI. This one flips it and has two HDMI and one DisplayPort. I only really use the one of each a lot so I'm thinking this should be better for connection a console to this monitor if I feel like letting the kids use the main TV. HDMI is the more versatile connection so I understand and think it will be better than the two DisplayPort inputs in the long run.
Picture quality looks pretty good to me. I've seen some reviews saying that the color accuracy isn't quite as good as my other Alienware ultrawide but I haven't noticed it really. It looks great. Blacks are nice and black. Brightness looks fine (and there are options in the menu to ramp up the brightness even more but I'm fine with that setting off completely). HDR videos still look vibrant and bright (if I little less so than my Alienware, it's not much).
The biggest contributing factor to this monitor becoming my daily main monitor is the curve, though. I never thought I'd be someone who had much of an opinion on curved screens at all. My Alienware is curved but it's very subtle. I really like the steeper curve on this monitor. Playing single player games just feels like it's wrapping around you and immersing you in the world just a little more. It's a subtle things that I never really considered before and after using this screen for a little bit now I can safely say I like the steeper curve.
Overall, you can't go wrong with this monitor if this is the budget you're looking at. Your options in this price range are all great so shop around and find the right fit for you. I picked this one but I know first hand what one of it's main competitors offers and it's another great option.
I would recommend this to a friend

AMD Freesynch plus, HDR, 240 Hz, what do all these mean in the real world? They all add up to an amazing picture quality which stirs the senses in games, movies, or just getting some work done. This has an OLED screen which means high contrast. LG delivers on the promise by also adding fast response time. There was no noticeable ghosting as I was enjoying a few laps around the circuit in Forza Motorsports. I even improved my lap time slightly compared with just using my gaming laptop’s screen. It was definitely easier to lose myself in the game with the screen surrounding me vs. taking up only a portion of my field of view.
I watched the space drama Valerian and the city of a Thousand planets. Space was dark, but HDR mode allowed for nice detail in the space station structures which weren’t directly lit. The bright engines only blew out the screen in the pixels immediately adjacent, with none of the blooming I sometimes see on my full array back lit TV. The colors of all the different species popped out from the screen, but not in a way which made it appear fake. Everything on the screen spoke to the vision of the film maker when displaying a movies in the theater, even when you’re at home.
The curved screen creates a unique experience if you haven’t used one before. When your head is in the right spot, your eyes can move from one side of the screen to the other without re-focusing. This reduces eye strain and certainly improves the experience of watching movies or playing games in such an immersive environment. While it adds a premium cost, it’s worth the money on a monitor which will likely last many more years than your average PC. Some of the pictures I took with the panorama mode to give a better sense of what a person will experience (vs a camera).
When it’s not playtime, I hooked this up to my work laptop. It wasn’t as easy as I was hoping. There are separate connections for power HDMI, DP Link, and for the 2 on board USB ports. Other monitors I’ve seen at a similar price point have a single USB-C connection which would allow the monitor to act as a docking station. This, unfortunately, does not have that capability. Even without that convenience, this monitor still looks good and displays A LOT of information all in one place. I work a lot with spreadsheets, and it’s nice to see all columns I need on a single screen. The near infinite viewing angle of OLED technology means I can collaborate with others at my desk and they can see everything as well as I can. Ironically, the spreadsheet was the only area where the screen had some minor issues. Near the edges of a few cells, there were dots of color on an otherwise white screen. This did not detract from the usefulness, just a minor annoyance of an otherwise outstanding experience. Between that and the lack of a single point connection, I had to take a star off at this price point.
