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.

Luckily, the 34GN850 is highly calibratable in either the default or sRGB modes, because performance out of the box is pretty good. With the decrease of the display size and the increase of its resolution, the pixel density increases. It has a 1440p resolution on a 34 inch screen, delivering an immersive gaming experience as well as plenty of screen real estate for productivity tasks.

Contrast is the main weakness here, although it's not worse than the 34GK950F, and isn't as low as the 27GL850 despite using the same panel type. Switch to a fast-paced title such as Insurgency Sandstorm, or the ever-so-popular Destiny 2, and the fast refresh rate comes into play.

Motion clarity was impressive, mostly removing the ghost-like trail that often follows and obscures a fast-moving object.If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the diagonal is calculated from the width and height of the screen. 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. Setting it to its Fast setting cures blurs and smudges, giving the user a true 160Hz experience without any penalties.

He has gone through several pieces of hardware in pursuit of every bit of performance gain, much to the dismay of his wallet. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the width is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio. Motion looks much better on the LG because it has a quicker response time, and it doesn't have black smearing like on the AOC. The 38WN95C-W gets much brighter, it has wider viewing angles, supports Thunderbolt 3, has built-in speakers, and it's bigger. He now works with Monitornerds to scrutinize the latest gear to create reviews that accentuate the seldom explained aspects of a PC monitor.Windows allows you to split in two, the software allows you to split into multiple ways, I think about 8. connector to unlock the 144Hz refresh rate and 10-bit color depth, as using one of the two HDMI inputs will limit your maximum refresh rate to 85Hz with 10-bit colors. LG have also found a way to increase the refresh rate, now topping out at 160Hz, up from 144Hz, through an overclocking option in the OSD. Right now, there just isn’t a better alternative when you want an ultrawide that’s good for both work and play.
