LG UltraGear QHD 34-Inch Curved Gaming Monitor 34GP63A-B, VA with HDR 10 Compatibility and AMD FreeSync Premium, 160Hz, Black

Overall, if this can be found for less than $300 its a large inexpensive monitor whose flaws can be overlooked for the value as an OLED is about three times more expensive.

Pros:
– Large, approx 100DPI. Enough pixels for many users while placing less demands on the video card compared to 4K.
– Supports high refresh rates up to 160 hz with Freesync/Gsync support.
– No blatant dead pixels when quickly viewing the patterns on “dead pixel check” while in the dark.
– Comes with a displayport cable so its ready to use with any computer/device with full sized displayport.
– Immersive for games, and makes half-maximizing by dragging a window to left/right edge useful.
– Much darker blacks than IPS. (If you think it looks washed out make sure the test image is actually straight black and not a gray). Dark reader makes it gray.

Cons:
– Ghosting very obvious using “UFO test: ghosting” especially when following the UFOs. Otherwise its there when you look for it, but it doesn’t bother me enough to pay 3x more for an OLED.
– Power consumption is a bit high (30w) but that comes with the size. An OLED is worse.
– Has a power brick but its well shaped to avoid blocking adjacent outlet. An IEC 13C is preferable especially if used in a work environment (so all cords are interchangeable). It does mean that a failed power supply can be replaced by the user.
– The last row of pixels is not dead, but has weird viewing angle. This can make the blue bar at bottom of win 10 task bar items (indicating they are open/active) not visible at a normal viewing angle for the rest of the pixels. Its almost as if the panel is curled down/away from user for last couple rows of pixels.

Not an issue with the monitor itself, but would be nice if MSFT would have a 1/3 maximized shortcut. Browser or office application windows 1/2 maximized are a bit too big (with long reading lines or lots of dead black space). Full screen maximized is way too big.

Awesome picture, fps is top notch. Thoroughly enjoying the in-depth experience with a curved widescreen coming from a flat screen monitor

I have been using this monitor for a while now (almost 3 months), and it has performed pretty well. Haven’t really used it for heavy gaming purposes but I think this will still perform for decent FPS gaming. The monitor has a pretty visible curve which is nice and the wide 34 inch screen helps multi-task a lot, specially if you’re working on a Mac. I’m pretty happy with the display, the darks are nice as this is a VA display, a bit of color inaccuracy in comparison to Mac screens but that’s acceptable/obvious. Bought it in a sale for $250, happy with the product.

Excelente monitor, grande y de muy buena calidad de color. Excelente para jugar
