The monitor supports graphics resolutions of up to 3440 x 1440 pixels, complementing high-resolution content. VA IPS panels from my testing (I tried 2) have smearing, for example in Assassins Creed Origins I could literally see the shadows on rocks near the pyramids smear when i ran past them, it was even worse with other stuff, also one of the VA panels I tried had some sort of crazy color glitch with some shades of black/grey making them turn purple. It’s a fair trade-off if you want to use this monitor for web content creation, plus it lets you avoid the cost of the colorimeter if you don’t already own it.

Unfortunately, using the sRGB mode locks many settings, like Adaptive Sync and Response Time, so if you want to use those settings, you need to use another, less accurate picture mode. The LG 34GN850’s screen is highly-sought after for work from use, so the port could be used to further market it to the masses. At the reaction time being 1 ms, the 34GN850-B alters RGB values rather fast and retains the image blur-free in motion. Build quality is certainly a few notches above more budget-friendly displays, image quality is sublime, and motion clarity in fast-paced games at the overclocked 160Hz refresh rate, or even the standard 144Hz, is outstanding. The 34GN850-B's refresh rate can be overclocked, its response time is faster, and it has better color accuracy.It delivers good picture quality thanks to its high resolution, and its large, curved screen is great for immersion. The LG 34GN850 has great brightness, nearly 400 nits which is in keeping with its DisplayHDR 400 rating, although it does lack true HDR functionality. The 34GN850 is also clearly faster than VA offerings, including speedy 200Hz G-Sync Ultimate displays like the Acer Predator X35. While there should be a monitor for everybody, it is still good to learn how televisions could also be an option for particular people based on what they need from a display.

This is greatly harmonious with the contemporary playback norms with regard to multimedia content such as Disney Plus. The most widely used panels are those with 6, 8, and 10 bits for each of the RGB components of the pixel. The display section retains its simple black plastic finish, moderate bezel size and circular rear design with red highlights. If you're looking for something less expensive, you do have alternatives, and the LG 34GN850 remains a premium option. Another missed opportunity on the LG 34GN850 is to add a pair of gaming-grade speakers with decent power output.

There's also the Faster overdrive mode available, but this is mostly just so LG can advertise a "1ms" response time with this display. In our test environment, the monitor’s peak brightness of nearly 400 nits was too high for normal use, and we’d expect that to be true for most users.

These results are above average, particularly deltaE performance, which is fantastic for this sort of panel without any calibration. Ur observations and reactions are not uncommon when som1 gets to compare 2 such displays side by side. HDR expands the contrast ratio (peak luminance and minimal black levels) and color palette to achieve more details across the whole image - from the darkest parts to the brightest ones, which results in more realistic and life-like image. Yeah, in this mode some transitions are 1ms or faster, but that comes at the expense of insane overshoot and inverse ghosting. Push it forward or backwards to jump straight into the brightness controls, or left and right for volume.

At 85Hz, and then 60Hz, overshoot does start to creep up but even at 60Hz it's not very noticeable so if you are gaming around that 60Hz region, the Fast overdrive mode is still perfectly fine. The bad news, is that the sRGB mode locks you out of all color controls except brightness and contrast, so you are stuck with whatever greyscale calibration you get from the factory. However, the 34GN850-B has a higher refresh rate, quicker response time, and better reflection handling. The maximum number of colors, which the display is able to reproduce, depends on the type of the panel in use and color enhancing technologies like FRC. For many people this is probably not significant, but it does reduce the monitor's heat output which we've heard people complain about at times for various monitors.

It seems absurd to me that the only thing close to an Oled is just the samsung g9 neo, the thing cost an arm and a leg. Response times are very similar, you get outstanding viewing angles, top notch wide gamut colors and factory calibration isn't too shabby either. The 34GN850 is a wide gamut monitor with 95% P3 coverage in our testing, which is in the top bracket of wide gamut panels; you'll be hard pressed to find a gaming capable monitor with better P3 coverage right now. The Gigabyte is better for productivity, as it has a few extra office features built-in, including a keyboard video and mouse switch (KVM), which allows you to switch between two sources with one set of input devices.

If you do choose to use the stand, you can expect the monitor will sit about 12 inches forward from the rear of the stand. The Gigabyte also has wider viewing angles, higher screen brightness, and more features, like USB-C input and a built-in KVM.
