LG 34GN850-B UltraGear 34-Inch IPS Ultrawide Screen Monitor with 144Hz Refresh Rate, Tilt and Height Adjustments Review

The problem with high-end monitors is that they add a lot of complexity to your PC. You gave up plug and play technology and now your monitor needs drivers. Calibration. even performance settings per application. A good quality monitor will help you in this optimization experience. Unfortunately, this is not one of those monitors. Perhaps the LG34GP950G is powerful hardware held back by lackluster software. but unlocking this feature is disappointing. And it comes from an IT professional with…

Pros: - 144Hz, HDR 400 certified - Gsync compatible (48-144Hz) - External power supply (might be an option, depending on how you feel) - 1ms IPS response time Cons: - Bundled cables are a bit shorter Overall this is a solid display but to be honest I was very nervous when I bought it as there weren't any reviews of this monitor on Revain or anywhere else online that I could find. I think that's because it's a new model that LG just unveiled at CES 2020. Anyway, it's 2020 and the panel lottery…

LG34GN850-B is an update of LG 34GK950F-B. While it doesn't make any monumental leaps from its predecessor, it does improve in several places, making it a solid buy if you're trying to decide between the two. I don't want to write a long 5 paragraph review that no one will read, so let me just point out the differences. Improvements: - Overclocking 160 Hz vs. 144 Hz - Higher peak brightness by approx. 15% (Better HDR performance) - Shorter response time (Pro measurement: 5.8 ms vs. 9.7 ms on…

I posted the original review and replaced it with an emphasis after knowing everything. I bought two of these, actually three, and had a lot of problems. A) One of the two I originally ordered broke. I didn't find any damage to the physical packaging or the monitor, the box was in perfect condition, but there was a wide column of dead pixels on the monitor. So I went back and ordered a third. B) I currently have two that I use, will probably return both. I solved most of the problems myself…

So I just got my brand new LG 34GN850-B. I used to have an ultrawide screen on an older LG that only had a 2560x1080 resolution. This new one is much better. 1080p to 1440p resolution, much better colors, much better response times, HDR400, nice curved screen, just a great upgrade. I tried several games including Doom Eternal, Rage 2, Far Cry 5, Forza Horizon 4, Crackdown 3, Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Dirt Rally. Doom Eternal is actually pretty amazing and HDR seems to be working. Sure, I…

I want to love this monitor. For real. And I want to give it 5 stars but I can't. Bought at a discount of about 960. Delivered quickly. No damage, no dead pixels, lots of cables - HDMI, Displayport, USB, no light. You would say that I'm lucky. but- there are no clear installation instructions- 💿? It's 2022. Wire chip USB hub doesn't seem to be working. I haven't found how it works - the program to control the LEDs doesn't work - it doesn't see a vmonitor! Although other software that controls…

I like this monitor enough to keep it, but it didn't serve my original purpose, frame by frame. I really needed two channels on the monitor and thought it was possible, but I was wrong and it's my fault. I'm really curious if this is a software limitation and would love to fix it if it's possible. I was distracted. Color is solid, channels are clear, and it's fast. Can't complain about anything advertised. I work with video and photography and it plays well in my environment of subdued but not…

Refurbished stuff tends to scare me, so I was wary of risking something this expensive, but this monitor seems perfect. The peeling was still there, albeit a bit "disturbed". The device arrived well packaged and looked like new. There are no dead pixels, very bright, excellent color reproduction, in short what you would expect from a monitor of this quality.

As far as first impressions go, this monitor is nothing short of its price. At first I was very hesitant to fork out a whole thousand for a monitor, but after the first use I am very satisfied. I knew I wanted a different UltraWide monitor after going from the LG 60Hz to a 1440p 144Hz 24-inch TN panel. Finally, with the release of the new GN850-B monitor, this monitor implemented all the features I wanted to see in the new display. The bend adds to the immersive effect, although initially I…

I use it as my new primary monitor for gaming, but sometimes it gets so dark I can't see what's going on in-game. The rest is great. Lightweight as the power adapter is in the cable and not on the back of the monitor. Easy mounting on a monitor stand. Common monitor 4/5

Another excellent ultrawide monitor, the Asus pg348q (100Hz), I didn't expect to be as impressive as the first initial transition from the usual 16:9 ratio to the ultrawide Masters race. Once you've gotten over the whole "wow factor" of being completely enveloped in constant on-screen real estate, settle down and start nit-picking. I am sure?. It's an unavoidable truth that even diamonds aren't perfect if you look closely. First, the refresh rate. Oh yeah, people will tell you that 100-144Hz…

I liked the monitor, I wanted more vivid colors and higher peak brightness, in the end I settled on the Alienware AW3423dw.

If you get this, you've probably seen a million YouTube videos and reviews, so I'm just saying what all Amazon shoppers really want to know. Yes, it is genuine, first seller. There is no buyer's regret here.
