TLDR: Windows & Mac compatible, 2560 X 1080 resolution, 100Hz refresh, 5 milliseconds response, AntiGlare IPS panel, HDMI & DisplayPort inputs, 21:9 format chassis, Audio/Headphone port, VESA mountable or usable with included stand, external AC Power Adapter.
This monitor was instantly recognized by my Windows 11 computer; as a matter of fact, every computer I plugged it into recognized it instantly including my Chromebook. LG has Plug and Play functionality for this monitor with Windows 11 so nothing is needed to be installed; all settings are directly in the Setting Menu, and in the Display section of the Windows Operating System.
In use the monitor is crisp, sharp and a pleasure to use. It does not exhibit any soft or blurry characters when used in word processing or in spreadsheet use.
In gaming use, I never saw any situation where I would not continue to use this monitor.
Images are colorful, not ghosted and suitable for any precise aiming and selecting targets or escape routes.
The price, even at list price, for such a large detailed 34” widescreen display shows that technology continues to come down in price..
I connected an analog cable to the rear panel audio/headphone port and the sound quality is clear and noise free. This convenience is appreciated to more easily connect home computer speakers with one wire.
The power usage is approximately 31 watts per the watt meter I used with the monitor at brightness and contract settings that are not a full blast. Brighter settings use more watts.
Being that I use it indoors and not facing a bright window, this is my preferred setting. LG specifies it uses 42 watts, presumably at full brightness.
It runs very cool and being LED illuminated, does not use many watts as indicated previously.
The stand is not adjustable to lift or lower the screen but the screen does tilt within minus 5 to approximately 15 degrees. It does not pivot to view the screen in portrait mode; only landscape. A HDMI cable is included in the box.
It has a 12 month warranty.

LG - UltraWide 34" IPS FHD 100Hz, 5ms, Monitor with VESA DisplayHDR 400
I couldn’t wait to stream a remastered classic cinemascope-wide movie from the age of real films printed in the widest possible 2.20:1 ratio on this new LG screen (with its 21:9 ratio). The LG 34” was easily able to show the entire image with no top/bottom black bars and even had more space available on the far side of the screen to keep another window open. Oh, and speaking about those black bars, they were very black, though not OLED level zero black. This allowed night time scenes to be nicely presented with good contrast. For the ideal images it was best to center yourself on the screen which created the best contrast and color. Film detail was high, with proper contrast , and this same detail made reading text and spreadsheets at the recommended resolution very easy and comfortable. That recommended resolution is 2560 x 1080.
SETUP and CONTROL: Successfully loading in a 4K movie demonstrated that copy protection issues are not an issue. The computer and monitor recognize each other and various media apps do not complain about “error due to HDCP”. I successfully used the HDMI cable. This was plug in and, bam, the image was already on the monitor which is auto-on from the input signal. From here on the monitor is controlled by the computer power-on-off settings.
PERFORMANCE and SUMMARY: The LG UltraWide 34" has a reasonably crisp, colorful, bright image. It is certainly sharp enough to read fine text and appreciate details in photos or games. It is not an OLED. It lacks absolute black performance, as does any other IPS LCD monitor. It creates increased contrast by providing a significant amount of brightness, and those blacks are still very black. It will tolerate the sun coming in nearby windows. The specified NITS are “only” 400, but not so many years back, monitors/TVs would have had 100 to 200 nits and not close to this LG’s resolution. We are spoiled. It’s a beautiful monitor, with invisible pixels, rich color, and excellent compatibility with many computers. I’m confident that there is more than enough contrast and color to provide a satisfying dynamic range for my purposes. Everything I've viewed so far has been stunning, This is not a tiring monitor. This is strong performance across a wide range of activities. And, of course, I really love the immense monitor acreage this LG Ultrawide offers.

A couple of people in our office use this monitor and every one of them loves it. The extended display is a nice option over two separate monitors, and the display is nice and clear without breaking the bank. Would purchase again!

Base is not the best, if you raise the monitor base falls off , no way to secure it. If you don't move it it's ok. But the quality of the screen I am not happy.
