LG 34UM88C-P 34 Inch UltraWide 3440X1440P Monitor with Screen Split 2.0, OnScreen Control, Flicker Safe, AMD FreeSync™ Technology Review

The monitor seems great but as mentioned before if you are missing covers for the top 1 or 2 screws for the stand beware of the issue. My monitor is missing the piece of metal inside the monitor that the top two screws screw into, so I can't attach the stand. I have no choice but to order a new replacement and this after spending a day at work collecting this incredibly large package from the post office and I think picking up the replacement the same way and all for to repackage the shipment…

I bought 3 of these monitors and put them on my workstation. Talk amazing amounts or real estate for all my viewing needs. The picture quality is second to none. Tail light is not a problem for me. I had a problem with the display port. CMOS - Bios is not visible when connected through the display port. I contacted LG and they didn't help. After reading extensively about display port monitors, I found that I had to enable UEFI mode in the bios in order for the display port to be recognized when

So when I bought it, it was cheaper than LG's previous 34-inch LG UM67 34UM67 monitor, so why not buy it?! my 15" Macbook Pro with Retina late 2013 (I had a dedicated GPU but don't think it matters). I love Macs but they certainly have their issues, and sometimes controlling external monitors can...hmm. ...can be problematic. So I wanted to stop fiddling with adapters, weird utilities, etc. I just wanted it to be plug and play.Aesthetically, I think it's a step in the wrong direction from the…

I bought this monitor to replace a 32" 1080p TV that was my primary monitor. I also have another 27" 1080p monitor for a dual screen setup. I've been eyeing the LG 34UM95, but I don't like the aesthetics of its stand. I wanted (still want) a curved Samsung S34E790C but my wife gets sick every time she looks at it. I chose this flat screen because it looks great, although I couldn't find any detailed reviews. Pros: size. This monitor is huge. I almost had trouble installing another monitor next…

My first ultrawide was 29um67. It supported free sync and the NVIDIA panel refresh rate showed the 75Hz option after free sync was enabled in the monitor settings. Great monitor, never had any problems with it. I then switched to the 34um95 which had horrible flickering, half the display sometimes went blank or half showed an image like I just broke it. Turning it on/off solved the problem. Sold and bought another 34um95. There weren't any flicker issues at all at this point, the only minor…

It was the first UltraWide monitor I've ever owned and it has always worked at twice the standard 4:3 or 16:9 size. This installation is no longer running due to this purchase that amazed me. Normally, when it comes to consumer electronics, I'm a loyal Samsung customer through and through. However, when one is on a budget, the list of available options that fit the bill often doesn't include Samsung products. But I knew their LG South Koreans aren't the type to downplay effort or design by…

This monitor is amazing. I've spent over a decade as an animator/designer using two monitors side-by-side. It's always been an ugly setup, but kind of the standard in my line of work. Now that I have a huge monitor I will never go back. This is a beautiful, massive, crisp monitor. To be honest, I'm a bit of an LG fanatic. I think they just make great monitors. (They also currently own their own 65-inch 4K OLED TV). The only thing that initially frustrated me was how the movies look on YouTube…

I use this monitor for everything from color grading to gaming and I love every little thing about it. The only thing I would like to improve is the sound, it's not the best, but it's SUCH a monitor, so you really can't ask for much! The color is bright and very accurate. The only issue is the color change in the bottom left corner, where it's slightly warmer than the rest of the screen, which I've heard is common to all. That being said, this monitor is a HUGE asset due to its incredible…

Bought this monitor from Revain a week ago for $572. I also got an EVGA 1060 SC graphics card to take advantage of the monitor's native 1440 x 3340 resolution and display port connection (DP cable included with LG). This is the flat (not curved) version I wanted because I use it for business, graphic design, and Photoshop. Aside from the excellent display, the biggest surprises were the stand and the sound quality. The stand (inside) is made of very heavy die-cast metal. It's heavier than the…

Update 10/21/17: I've had this monitor for about 10 months now. A month ago the monitor started showing a vertical red bar. The line is about 2/3 the width to the left of the screen. LG customer service is hard to come by. Let's see how quickly this problem can be fixed. But I'm disappointed with the poor build quality of this monitor. ------------- ---------- -------- Bought at a local fry after trying one from a Revain vendor. I bought this monitor as an upgrade for my Dell 24 inch 1920 x…

The only thing holding back this monitor from a hard and fast 5 star is its 40-60Hz free sync range and minimal BLB (backlight bleeding). Pros: The size is absolutely perfect for me. It doesn't look too big when you're sitting 1.5 feet away from it, and it doesn't look too small when you're sitting on the couch 10 feet away. This makes it good for work/multitasking and gaming as well as watching movies. Fun fact: Snapping two windows to either half of the screen results in two windows with more

More real estate than smaller monitors, but I was disappointed that the font size is so large that it can't fit as many lines on the screen as I'd hoped. I've read some comments that it was easy to connect to a MAC and others said it wasn't. I have a Macbook Pro and connected the HDMI to the Apple to Thunderbolt port and it worked straight away! Since the resolution wasn't as high as I had hoped, I ordered a higher resolution version (sold on Revain for $649, retail price $799; today I see…

A few things to note about the product itself: - If you're considering a 34-inch 21:9 ultra-wide monitor, forget 1080p. 3440x1440 is a must. 1080p might be enough for a 29-inch display. This mockup comes with OnScreen Control utility that allows you to quickly arrange windows. However, the possibilities for organization are currently still quite limited. Among other things, there is left + right, left + middle + right. Not very flexible and customizable. If you have a Thunderbolt cable, the USB

I am very satisfied with this 34 inch monitor. I've been using it for over a month and it works perfectly. I had to position it slightly left of center and the left side shows no distortion at that angle. I love that it's fully adjustable. It worked well as the main monitor and the VP2770 on the right. They complement each other well. The vertical is exactly the same and the windows are easy to move back and forth if needed. The main use is investing and I like to open a lot of charts and other

This is the first ultrawide monitor I've owned, so I can't really compare it to other models, but it's a game changer for my workday. I'm a developer and when I'm working on a project I might have 5 windows open. My IDE, terminal window, database tool, browser and browser inspector are my default. I usually have email and Slack open. However, with my old settings, I could really only see two of them at a time. With this monitor and my laptop's display, I can easily see 4 of them at the same…

This is by far the BEST monitor I have ever owned. First, it's massive. Like, much more than I expected. The screen size is almost ridiculous compared to my 1080. Pros: - Colors are bright and accurate - Lots of space - Picture-in-Picture with 2 separate PCs is an IT pro's dream - No scaling (unlike 4k) - Protective layer over the panel itself (clear dirty fingerprints from farmers, touching my screen against my will) - Built-in speakers tolerable - GTA V looks CRAZY at 21:9 (works on…

I previously had a 34UC98 and loved the curve for that immersive IMAX theater and gaming experience. The only reason I got this was for the flat viewing angle and lack of distortion needed for graphics work. That being said, there aren't many monitors to fall back on based on my 1440p ULTRAWIDE experience. For work: The workspace you get at just 1440p is quite large, but adding the width of the 3440 ultra-wide is a total game. changer. The amount of webpages, specs, lists, graphs and videos you

The monitor is certainly excellent - high contrast ratio, excellent text clarity and very easy to use. If you've tried using a 1080p monitor to work side-by-side with documents and it's larger than 20 inches, you already know how much text becomes distorted, fuzzy, and hard to read. This monitor brings everything back into focus. I'm running it through the display port on my HP 9840m laptop using a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter. I installed LG's drivers online and after a reboot it was correctly…

When setting up my new home office, I was looking for monitors for my new HP Specter x360 laptop. I have been using dual monitors for many years and started looking at them until I found such ultra wide monitors. This monitor offers a display width equivalent to that of a dual monitor setup without the hassles of center bezels or dual display setups. My laptop only has two USB-C Thunderbolt 3 ports and one USB-A 3.1 port. I was hoping to reduce the number of connections to a single USB-C…

Unexpectedly wide, I know it's described as wide, but it was still surprising how wide it was. Multiple inputs and built-in speakers mean I don't need to buy desktop speakers, giving my workspace a clean and minimalist look. I didn't like the cable routing outside of the monitor stand, it needs some work to make the cables disappear. The stand is very easy to assemble and doesn't require any tools, I wish the stand was a little sturdier. Overall I am very satisfied with the monitor and the…
