Best Ultrawide Monitor? LG 34GN850 Unboxing & Setup
After many weeks of research, I picked up the popular productivity and gaming monitor - LG 34GN850. This 34" ultrawide curved monitor sports a Nano IPS panel, 160Hz refresh rate and fast response times. Is he THE one, or should I keep looking?

I have both 4k and WQHD LG monitors for my macbook setup. The widescreen resolution looks quite terrible compared to the sharpness of the 4k 16:9 screen. Once you see the difference, its hard to go back to the weird pixelated text of a widescreen.

@@TerezaTichackova hi, i just Recived the monitor, It looks great on the desk, the sense of immersion it's very awsome. I had to adjust some settings on the display i Overclock to 160hz and I had to calibrate the colors a bit more. I still miss a bit of the resolution from my old 27 inch 4k monitor, but the refresh rate it's a must. I feel happy with the monitor, did not found no ghosting on the images, i'm more of a gamer so I do recomend this monitor. ☺

You should have bought the Type-C version (34WN80C, 34WN750) to charge and transfer video with single cable if you value productivity over gaming. It also gives you additional USB-ports to connect keyboard/mouse to your monitor.

Great video, thanks for posting it. I did have a question about your research. Did you by chance do any comparisons to the 34GP950G-B or the LG 38GN95B-B? The price point on those seems to be much higher than the 850 or 83A, but I was curious if you thought the price jump would be worth it.
@TerezaTichackova
2 жыл бұрын
hey and thanks for the kind comment! ☺ So from what I read, the 950G-B is just supposed to be a little bit upgraded version of the 850/83A. But the upgrades of 950G-B are pretty small... - brightness (jump to 600 cd/m² from 350 cd/m²) - better HDR (DisplayHDR 600) - slightly higher refresh rate (180Hz vs 160Hz) - native G-SYNC monitor (vs FreeSync) Not worth the price jump imho! Unless money isn't an issue and/or those specific parameters are suuuper important for you 🙂

Thanks for the review. The whole chapter of 32" vs 34"...I have the SAME tabs from Visual TV Size and this dude with the funky wallpapers on my Paint, I print screened both side by side as well, So...Good job there! :) And I still cannot decide. I will tell you why: the curved variation (38gn950) in my country is either about $2800-$2500 or only VA panels. Ordering the same screen here from Amazon seems risky counting on how I receive other, non monitors, orders from them. I program at work on two 24" screens, one is facing me directly and other one is curved to me from my right, and buying a flat 34" (like the Gigabyte M34WQ) which is a good screen and price one, seems to me crazy to look all the time from right to left like I'm sitting at Wimbledon...I think I will just go for a 32" 16:9. Oh yeah, there's also nowhere here to see screens on display so I can decide visually. I think whatever I will buy will be good, but I would just keep thinking, what if I have bought the other one instead... Ah well, thank you for listening to my too-many-weeks long of getting into a new monitor buying spree, and still being confused as hell... :D On a personal note this was a very good and funny review and I enjoyed it maybe too much lol. You made a good choice with the best all around screen and I should know because this is what I planned going for, if I could buy it here. Enjoy it! :)

You answer to all my question that I had in my mind. Just one more question remaining: how far would you suggest to put the monitor?

''Never had any problems with LG'' Yeah just wait until you need to get your screen fixed or send it back for replacement because that'll take them at least 2 months before they get to fixing the screen. Theyre fairly quick to respond but their quality control sucks. Also the difference between the two aren't just another cable kit, the GP has G-Sync, the other doesnt. But to be honest if you're going for a screen with Gsync youre basically fanboying at this point since Freesync2 does the exact same job for 300 euro less. And Gsync always has a lower refresh rate compared to freesync.
