I have also been using this monitor since about July of 2021. It is by far the best monitor I had ever used... I recently got the Alienware OLED but I still recommend this monitor to my friends.
Since you have own both of them, I am currently considering switching to ultrawide, should I go for the LG which is 800$ cad right now or put the double and get the Alienware, so around 1600$ cad? I'm still using a 27" 1080p IPS 144hz LG so either way I think I the difference will be mind blowing since I manly play single player games! But I really want to know if the Alienware worth double the price of the LG, because right now the LG price is really appealing, but the oled displays colors and darkness looks so good even on my phone, and I don't mind paying premium if it's really worth it, because I keep my stuff for the long run. Really interested in an opinion from someone who has had both
@@KevinGoldLVL bit late but I recommend the LG, the OLED Alienware while fantastic isn’t enough of a difference to justify the price difference. Dont get me wrong it’s fantastic but I did a completely blind test and while I did identify the Alienware at times I did not always figure out which monitor it was. Meaning that the differences aren’t as stsrl
Tbh i was between this and an oled monitor but i never game in darkness and the burn in of oleds pretty scary haha , so im between the lg 34GP950G-B and the mobiuz 3415r
I just got this monitor for $599 on amazon during the black Friday sale. Coming from a 27" 60hz IPS panel, this thing is incredible. Insane quality for he price. And now that I have gone ultrawide, I don't think I could ever go back to 16:9 on PC. Very pleased!
@@lil_mixdrink For me there are no drawbacks. The only thing I could see being a negative is if you had to choose btw only one 21:9 monitor or two 16:9 monitors because of desk space. If you are gaming a lot its always better to have a separate screen for your game and another screen for other tasks. I still have another 16:9 screen off to the side for other tasks when I'm using the ultrawide for gaming. But if space was limited I'd rather have the 2 16:9's then just 1 ultrawide.
Got mine back in Nov 2021 Amazon lighting deal for 799$ CAD (was 300$ off). Absolutely no complaints. I don't care or use HDR though. Gsync being "supported" rather than gsync equipped scared me but it works just fine. No stutter, no tearing. Can't see myself upgrade unless the RTX4000 series can push 120fps + at 4k in demanding games. 3440x1440 is gonna be hard to move from.
Thank you sir for such a comprehensive video demonstration. I watched it and I bought mine today from Amazon brand new just for the $600 (on a monthly based payment plan for five months). The current deal was that good that I could not delay in my final decision any longer.
@@chasewalker3924 One of my friends bought that Alienware OLED a few months ago for more than $1K and in less than a month the monitor screen was broken like half of the screen display was messed up with random colors without any permanent solution. He asked for warranty coverage and his claim was denied after weeks of waiting and following up. A lot of money right in the garbage can! I hadn't heard stuff like this from LG.
@@strobe9 i received a perfect unit. However, I returned it because I chose to go with an Alienware OLED instead. I have other OLED tvs and I am spoiled now on the perfect black and contrast. OLEDs aren’t great for bright rooms though and have their share of cons, and more $$ generally too. But its what worked for my needs and desires. If I didn’t have those specific desires then this monitor is a great choice.
I just picked up the 34GN850-B (basically the 34GP83A-B ) about a month ago, it's the best monitor in its class and even punches average above its weight in price and performance. It's still a very relevant display in 2022.
G'day .. I just received mine as well, the 34GN850 .. is there a peelable protective plastic sheet on the actual screen out of the box or is it just the anti-reflective coating?
Hello, i am rlly struggling to find a ultrawide monitor now in 2023. i allready looking for months. but cant decide what i want. i ofc want the best for the price. im thinking about around 500. i do gaming so i want atleast 144hz and 34 inch. but i just dont know its so hard. what do you recommend.
Love the review, and thank you very much for it. I was down to waffling between this and the ASUS ROG Stryx XG349C, and you being able to so enthusiastically recommend it after years of use has made my decision easy. I can hardly wait for it to show up.
I just bought the 34GN850-B for 629€ which according to your previous video about this monitor is basically the same. This is the most amount of money I have ever spend on a monitor. My TV was cheaper.... I'm even feeling a little worried, but relieved at the same time as I've been wanting to buy this one since almost 2 years XD Thank you so much for doing this video... You made me to it!
Ordered it today on Amazon Germany for 599€ but I’m not sure, whether the QD-Oled Alienware would be a better choice, when paying a relatively high price for a monitor.
Thank you, just picked this up on Boxing day 2022 and was nervous that the monitor was too old and out of date but this review reassured me and now I'm even more excited! Great review
This is the best review. I was hoarding money to buy an ultrawide and this video made me realize my money was well put on LG's ultrawide, I used to do ultrawide 29" 2560x1080 on an LG back in 2011 when they appeared. It's beeen almost 4 years since I 'upgraded' to 27" 16:9 QHD, but we all ultrawide fans know that once you go ultrawide, you never go flat. Got it for 649$ on sale, which is the best price ever and it's excelent for a premium ultrawide. I almost got the Gigabyte M34Q which is flat, but all the reviews praised how great the pixel response is on this, and when you do so much research for a monitor upgrade, you know that is better to have great pixel response, rather than a 240hz IPS S 32" QHD display (almost got the Aorus FI32Q X, but that was before knowing the LG 34GP sale price. Long live to ultrawide, will upgrade when we get a descent OLED ultrawide at 800-1000$ price range, which is going to happen in a couple years due to mass production, OLED are gaining more fans. PS: I will upgrade from 3080 12gb's to 4080 for sure, or even AMD's equivalent if it's better.
Dude... stunning review. I ordered mine yesterday and I am ecstatic. You earned a sub with this thorough and fair review. You have made my purchase a concrete decision and I will have ZERO buyers remorse. Thanks!!
Have you noticed any in-panel damage since ordering? I had to return my not even day old model yesterday because 2 perfect single pixel wide lines ran vertically and horizontally. I reordered, as it's the prettiest monitor I've ever owned and want that UW, but ick.
Thamks for the dailycdriver review. I'll be grabiing one of these in the next few days. Also thak you for the port info even on lg's site it judt daid display port and hdmi eith no version data.
watching this video on this lg monitor, its a beast for the price! Here in the Netherlands its arround 650 euros, thats insane compared to the ~800 dollars that it used to cost! Really impressed by the panel, great color accuracy and the 450 nits is perfect especially in the night, usally turn it down to arround 25%. HDR is also amazing. didnt really expect much from a vesadisplay 400 panel but it has been amazing so far! Type-C Tech Reviews, tysm for the videos about this monitor! it helped me a lot and actually got me to purchase this monitors over cheaper VA panels:)
@@nick.020 To be honest I cannot find the difference between 10bit and 8bit and for that reason I set my monitor to 160hz. It's not huge deal breaker for me.
@@cridler2 je weet dat ze dit model waar deze Guy t over heeft niet verkopen in Nederland hè?, je moet de lg 34gn850-b hebben als je hem in Nederland wilt. Het is exact t zelfde model. Daar heeft dit kanaal ook een video over gemaakt vgm, hoe die twee monitoren exact hetzelfde zijn!
Hey Los, is this still your favorite 1440p ultra wide? I’d like to get an ultra wide 1440p and am highly considering getting this. Is there anything else I should be considering?
Great video.I wanna ask two questions with im struggle to understand.I bought last week the same monitor.Did you try the HDR on in another games? Was it good or in some games like you said in Battlefield HDR on was good and other is better to have it off? In the menu the gaming mode 1 is the only mode in which hdr is on ? I'm asking because in the other options like gaming mode 2 fps the colors and the picture is very bad. Thank you in advance.
What about ASUS VG34 or Dell S34? In HDR they are noticeably better, contrast 3-4 times higher than in IPS, color gamut/color volume are better and they are much cheaper. The main disadvantage is black smearing but it's not that bad to disgard ASUS or Dell.
Hey so I was looking at buying a new monitor and I narrowed it down to 2 monitors and one of them is a 27 in. 280hz flat monitor from asus and the other one is a curved 30 inch monitor 200hz also from asus. The flat one is around $260 and the curved one is around $290 would you recommend any monitors that around this price range? I would want 200hz or above. Thanks, Beckett Monroe
I got it for $699 CAD about a year ago. Sold it for what I paid for it and missed it ever since. Never seen it below $999 CAD since. At that price I'd just spend the $100 more or so for the Alienware OLED thats on sale for around $1100 CAD most of the time.
I hope you can respond to my comment i just ordered the monitor but i worry that my 3060 ti will not handle this monitor good if not should i just cancel the order ?
How deep is the monitor stand? I have the Grovemade Desk Shelf System and I'm worried it won't fit? Its only 9 inches deep. Plus I have a traditional office desk with virtually no lip on the edge of the desk to secure a monitor arm? If needed what are the best substitute monitor desk stands that can support a 34 inch ultrawide and have a base under 9 inches?
Interesting statement of "If I could have one panel type, it would be IPS", that's even after testing OLED. I've had OLED and am going back to IPS mainly because I use my monitor for working and gaming and don't want the stress of OLED. Right now, the 34GP950 is on sale for $799 which I think is an excellent buy, otherwise I would buy the 34GP83A which is currently $750.
I need a new monitor for my work. I only work on ms office - excel, word and Powerpoint. I like IPS screens and the 1440p matches up with my current work laptop as far as doable refresh although it is going to be 60hz only. Would this make a good work monitor - I can get this one or the other LG which is basically the same for between 599 - 650?
Question: nano-IPS or QD-OLED? 45% of time I'm working with excel and word. Then 45% of time editing video and photos. Than 10% of time watching movies. 0 games :D. Im deciding between 34LG850P-B (so the same panel as this one) and Dell AW3423DWF.
If this has AMD Free sync prem you shouldn't have any issues if the frames drop to 40 which Low Framerate Compensation kicks in which doubles the frames to 80 or so and the VRR range is 20-144hz so
Im looking to buy a monitor for work and school, I've only recently gotten into the monitor world and dont really know much about monitors but I have narrowed it down to a couple LG 34GP83A-B, LG 38WN95C-W, LG 40WP95C-W 40” , and Dell Alienware AW3423DW 34, any feedback would be much appreciated as well as any other suggestions.
Recently purchased the monitor, and I am having pretty severe screen flickering at refresh rates higher than 60hz. I've looked into a what could be causing this and haven't had much luck. Im assuming its either my PC doesn't meet minimum system requirements or monitor could be damaged?
anyone know how the overdrive & input lag compares to Acer Predator X34 GS that uses the same panel? the acer has some nice extra features and costs about the same so unless they messed up the overdrive settings on the acer I would probably lean to the acer being the predator line I would assume it's not bad either
Thank you for your review!! I clicked the US Amazon link and found 2 different price points for this monitor $730 vs. $399?? What is the difference between the two?? Is it the Nano IPS? Can you please confirm? Interested in buying this monitor! Thank you in advance!
Thanks for the review. I’m still between this and the 5k2k version. One note lol…. My biggest pet-peeve is when I hear people call any tech their daily driver lol… my issue though. Nonetheless, great review. I need a monitor for motion graphics, video editing and audio design.
I'm scared to buy this monitor but I am super interested I have never invested in a 4k monitor before. I have a 3070ti tuf gaming overclock GPU, with an i9-12900k cpu rocking 32gbs of g-skill ram. I am sure it will do fine but I worry that I might have heat issues running 4k or have to drop game settings to keep a high enough FPS. I have a 1080p alienware monitor atm and I can get 100 to 140 fps on mw2 max settings. I don't know the full affect on performance a monitor can have on a setup I don't have much experience with higher end monitors.
@Type-C Tech Reviews thank you for this video!! Mine is being delivered today, $591 new from Amazon!! I do video editing and office work, not just gaming, but all reviews have been gaming only focused. I’m upgrading from 2 $90 HP 60hz VA panels
I just bought this for $650 before taxes, gonna be replacing my LG 27GL850-B. I feel like going from 1440p to ultrawide might not be a big difference but I guess I will find out in about a day or 2.
@@NerdyDZN Never got notified on these comments but I love this monitor its basically the LG 27GL850-B but bigger and curved. If im being honest I wish it was maybe 38 inches and a 1000R or 1200R curve rate so the bend is more noticeable but I also dont have an issue with the 1500R curve rate either. I have 1840 hours of time on this monitor already and really cant complain. I think better tech with better prices will come out soon. I wish it was true HDR but the colors are so good it really doesnt matter and 240hz would've been nice for future proofing too. I think Id pay $600 for this monitor but anymore Id probably look into 240hz options.
Can anyone confirm if this unit has a hdmi 2.1? While watching a video about the LG LG 34GP83B (different model) a youtuber claims that THAT one is the only one with hdmi 2.1s and not this model.

Second, in regards to this video and the LG monitor you reviewed, I’m between this and the Gigabyte M34WQ. Per your video on that monitor, you also daily drive it for a decent amount of time.

@@Jim-bh2tb Actually planning to get a 39inch panel that should be dropping in Q3 of 2025 from LG I believe it is. But have done extensive research on the current OLED Ultrawide market and would probably go with the Samsung Odyssey G8, and runner up would be the Dell Alienware AW3423DWF.

Would this make a good work monitor - I can get this one or the other LG which is basically the same for between 599 - 650?
What is the best choice from the video card to monitor hookup? I am not tracking on that
Does this compare to Omen 34c? Thanks for any input :)
Question: nano-IPS or QD-OLED?
45% of time I'm working with excel and word. Then 45% of time editing video and photos. Than 10% of time watching movies.
0 games :D.
Im deciding between 34LG850P-B (so the same panel as this one) and Dell AW3423DWF.
Don't go oled, they are meant for media consumption, not work, as the static elements from productivity work will eventually burn-in
@@jamesw657 Thanks m8. I'm going to get 83A-B or 850B from LG ... next year :D
I found LG UltraGear 34GN850P-B, 34" for 600 euros, is that worth it?
What about Samsung G8 34" OLED? Costs 950 euros.
If this has AMD Free sync prem you shouldn't have any issues if the frames drop to 40 which Low Framerate Compensation kicks in which doubles the frames to 80 or so and the VRR range is 20-144hz so
How do you do multi task screen like the BenQ? Any way for this lg display to run to external machine on each side?
Is still good in 2024?
Im looking to buy a monitor for work and school, I've only recently gotten into the monitor world and dont really know much about monitors but I have narrowed it down to a couple LG 34GP83A-B, LG 38WN95C-W, LG 40WP95C-W 40” , and Dell Alienware AW3423DW 34, any feedback would be much appreciated as well as any other suggestions.
Does the LG 34GP83A come with an HDMI and A-B type cable?
You cant go wrong with this or the 27" GP83/GP850B dual monitor set up
Hi, at 2023 with an rtx 4070 12gb would you still recommend?
Is this one good for Mac Studio M2? Thanks!
Recently purchased the monitor, and I am having pretty severe screen flickering at refresh rates higher than 60hz. I've looked into a what could be causing this and haven't had much luck. Im assuming its either my PC doesn't meet minimum system requirements or monitor could be damaged?
Have you tried multiple cables since you posted this? I recently started shopping around for my first ultrawide.
anyone know how the overdrive & input lag compares to Acer Predator X34 GS that uses the same panel?
the acer has some nice extra features and costs about the same so unless they messed up the overdrive settings on the acer I would probably lean to the acer
being the predator line I would assume it's not bad either
I'm pairing this with my lg c2 as a daily monitor
Does this have any motion blur during gaming?
wonder how this would compare to LG's new OLED 34 inch
Asus Vg258qr & lenovo G series G25-10 24.5 inch wch is bttr?
Thank you for your review!! I clicked the US Amazon link and found 2 different price points for this monitor $730 vs. $399?? What is the difference between the two?? Is it the Nano IPS? Can you please confirm? Interested in buying this monitor! Thank you in advance!
It's on sale right now for $599, at least the identical 34gn850 is
I can't decide between these: This LG, the Gigabyte G34QC or the M34WQ.
any plan on reviewing the cheaper 34gp63a-b?
Is this good for fps with no 2.1 hdmi?
Thanks for the review. I’m still between this and the 5k2k version. One note lol…. My biggest pet-peeve is when I hear people call any tech their daily driver lol… my issue though. Nonetheless, great review. I need a monitor for motion graphics, video editing and audio design.
is this monitor any good for watching movies.
Does the UK link also work for the whole of europe???
I just bough but i cant save a profile. I think it doesnt have this option.
Hello all, I'm in the UK and cannot find this particular model. Are we basically saying that in the UK that screen is the 34GN850-B?
Hey, my understanding the gn850 and this have the same panel. This gp83 is only available in US I believe.
Can someone please review the z-edge ug34w 34-inch gaming monitor UWQHD 3440 x 1440 ultrawide 21.9 165Hz 2k IPS.. NOT Curved. 😒
Why did you say this isnt for consoles? I bought this monitor for my xbox X to play warzone.. no good? Should i return??
Consoles are not optimized for ultrawide form factors, so this will work, but you’ll have black bars on the left and right.
how does this compare to the VG34VQL1B?
I was wondering if something like a 38GN950 is still good in 2022 for $900, I’ve been eager to replace my U2515H monitor
Im looking on 38gn950 either, but it has active fan wich holds me back to get it.
@@nem3th it’s the GL version that has a fan
I just picked up the 34GP950 for $795 on amazon
I'm scared to buy this monitor but I am super interested I have never invested in a 4k monitor before. I have a 3070ti tuf gaming overclock GPU, with an i9-12900k cpu rocking 32gbs of g-skill ram. I am sure it will do fine but I worry that I might have heat issues running 4k or have to drop game settings to keep a high enough FPS. I have a 1080p alienware monitor atm and I can get 100 to 140 fps on mw2 max settings. I don't know the full affect on performance a monitor can have on a setup I don't have much experience with higher end monitors.
This monitor is 1440p not 4k so you can run it fine. 4k is also overrated.
@Type-C Tech Reviews
thank you for this video!! Mine is being delivered today, $591 new from Amazon!!
I do video editing and office work, not just gaming, but all reviews have been gaming only focused. I’m upgrading from 2 $90 HP 60hz VA panels
is this great for console?
I just bought this for $650 before taxes, gonna be replacing my LG 27GL850-B. I feel like going from 1440p to ultrawide might not be a big difference but I guess I will find out in about a day or 2.
Verdict please!
how are you liking it?
@@NerdyDZN Never got notified on these comments but I love this monitor its basically the LG 27GL850-B but bigger and curved. If im being honest I wish it was maybe 38 inches and a 1000R or 1200R curve rate so the bend is more noticeable but I also dont have an issue with the 1500R curve rate either. I have 1840 hours of time on this monitor already and really cant complain. I think better tech with better prices will come out soon. I wish it was true HDR but the colors are so good it really doesnt matter and 240hz would've been nice for future proofing too. I think Id pay $600 for this monitor but anymore Id probably look into 240hz options.
Can anyone confirm if this unit has a hdmi 2.1? While watching a video about the LG LG 34GP83B (different model) a youtuber claims that THAT one is the only one with hdmi 2.1s and not this model.
No to HDMI 2.1
In Thailand not have 34GP in our market (Have only 34GL)
Hey, can u please review the Acer xz396q?
"You're not going to hook up consoles here" 😢😞😭😭 I wanted to play my ps5 and xbox playing 120 fps until I save up enough for my 5k pc
i just upgraded from this to the Gigabyte M32U.
How has been the M32 for you as an “upgrade”?
You will not be disappointed.
@@ljtech20 really happy I made the switch to 4k. the extra vertical pixels and ppi is so worth it.
@@QuBitGaming Appreciate the reply, I've been torn between getting a 1440p ultrawide or a 32inch 4k.. might consider going with the later.
Had the M32U and was extremely good. Definitely recommended, its only like £550 in the UK.
is it good for warzone?
I wish the new generation of this monitor will be delivered with thunderbolt. Thunderbolt is very necessary nowadays.
Can you do the 850 variant?
I wonder how it compares to the gp950-b
I just bought this about two hours ago and now you post this lul.
That shirt needs some serious ironing. At the very least throw it in the dryer a bit with a dryer sheet for a quick 5mins!!!LOL
Lol what? Why? Who the fuck cares about wrinkles in a t shirt? Lmao
😂😂😂💯
He just needs to get more swole, fill it out no problem. Free automatic ironing.
Bro lmao…
@@RauzwelWTF??? 😂😂😂😂
How is this compared to gp750
what the name of game he playing in the vid ??
What about the 34GP950? Theres other monitors with the exact same specs as this one I'm just curious to know what the differences are
As far as I know, the biggest differences are usb ports? Though a quick comparison on the Amazon pages should help
Can it use PBP?
Is this good for Xbox series x???
Hey guys where is this "$800 offsale" ? On amazon it's currently 1300 pounds sterling, around $1600
4 months later and its only $550 in the US right now
just bought on amazon...$550...big spring deal!
You post this as I'm contemplating selling for the 32GQ950... hmmm
After watching this, now I feel like I need to keep it longer lol. Great video as always man!
Nah keep it..Ultrawide is better in my opinion too
@@mrwalker6026 Honestly my biggest issue is the black bars on the side when playing PS5.. For Work and PC gaming its amazing.. but I mainly game on PS5 and the bars drive me nuts dude
@@BillyBets oh yeah 16:9 better for console gaming for sure
@@BillyBets once you've played games like RDR2,Horizon Zero Dawn and God of War in Ultrawide 21:9 it's hard to go back..lol
I already bought it and i was going to connect my PS5 to it :(
I hope it works
First, just found this channel recently and man what a find! Absolutely love the way you go about your content. Second, in regards to this video and the LG monitor you reviewed, I’m between this and the Gigabyte M34WQ. Per your video on that monitor, you also daily drive it for a decent amount of time. Which do you prefer for both gaming and productivity? For reference I’m in Canada and can get the Gigabyte for $560 CAD and the LG for $750 CAD. Much appreciated if you could give your thoughts!
May I know what did you get?
@@Jim-bh2tb Actually ended up with neither. Decided to save up for an OLED ultrawide.
@@seanpalfy6355 which monitor are you planning to buy? Alienware?
@@Jim-bh2tb Actually planning to get a 39inch panel that should be dropping in Q3 of 2025 from LG I believe it is. But have done extensive research on the current OLED Ultrawide market and would probably go with the Samsung Odyssey G8, and runner up would be the Dell Alienware AW3423DWF.
And in 2024?
