What customers say about "Key Specs"

LG 34GK950F Curved Monitor

As would be expected, this LG monitor 144Hz is a world of difference for gaming, and the Freesync seems to work just fine.
For work the 34” ultrawide format has always worked well for me, since I can have two documents side by side.
The size is large enough to act as 2 monitors, games look amazing thanks to the aspect ratio and feel amazing thanks to the 144Hz refresh rate.
It's rather expensive but it's not that surprising you are getting 1440p, 144hz, ips display.
The panel offers a 3440 x 1440 resolution and most importantly of all, a 144Hz.

Alienware AW3420DW Curved Gaming Monitor

The response time, the picture quality, the 34” 1800R curve. It is super immersive and is highly recommended for games such as racing and fight.
Superb display. Yes, bigger screens are available. But not with a this response time
120Hz can be easily set (“overclocking function”). I find you still notice the difference between 100Hz and 120Hz.
34 inch monitor with little visel and up to 120hz. Highly recommend!
Great monitor, this resolution at 34' looks crisp and very clean.

What customers say about "Display"

LG 34GK950F Curved Monitor

Monitor performs with lovely colours and factory calibrated.
The picture is great with sharp colours and decent blacks.
The monitor is Awesome, virtually no back light bleed, no glow. colour was very good out of the box.
The colours are just amazng, thanks to the panel being IPS.
Backlight bleed in the curved corners was way too noticeable as was the "IPS Glow".

Alienware AW3420DW Curved Gaming Monitor

Colours pop, viewing angles are superb high quality.
The 2ms 120Hz make this fantastic gaming monitor.
It is very good from the picture, could not detect pixel errors and the colors are very homogeneous.
Very vivid colors and the OSD menu very well structured and intuitive.
An IPS monitor will always have a measure of IPS glow, its a fault of the technology.

What customers say about "Features"

LG 34GK950F Curved Monitor

The VESA mount is useful if, like me, you prefer your monitors mounted on a pivoting arm.
Just had to download the firmware update and then Enable Gsync in nvidia control panel, it works flawlessly.
This model is compatible with AMD FreeSync graphics cards for variable refresh rate support, and even has an added Motion Blur Reduction.
There is a good range of ergonomic adjustments offered by the stand. Tilt offers a wide range and is smooth to move.
The materials were of a good standard and the build quality felt decent.

Alienware AW3420DW Curved Gaming Monitor

G-sync support. This uses the V1 module so is a true G-sync screen.
G-Sync works fine, no jerks, no tearing so top! Tested with 110 Hz and 120Hz.
The screen is beautifully finished, excellent manufacturing quality with a touch of the foot and the back of the screen perfect!
Very accessible Vesa bracket unlike my previous screen, there is ample room to put any foot 100x100
4 adjustable leds on the screen: 3 behind and 1 underneath + the logo that illuminates.

What customers say about "Connectivity"

LG 34GK950F Curved Monitor

The 34GK950F offers a good range of connectivity.
Love the additional 2 port USB 3.0 hub, with the ports located on the back of the screen.
A headphone output connection is provided for audio pass-through, which is pretty good.
The back of the screen features the connections which is pretty convenient to plug.
If you only have a DisplayPort 1.2 output, you will be limited to 3440 x 1440 @ 120Hz.

Alienware AW3420DW Curved Gaming Monitor

DisplayPort 1.2, which for a screen of this Calibre is enough with the 3440x1440 resolution.
Huge connections with 5 USB 3.0 outputs, 1 HDMI output, 1 Display port.
Try to find a screen with so many outputs you will see that it is not as simple.
The monitor has big pack of connections inputs and all my stuff can be connected.
Sadly, no HDMI 2.0B which is a shame, so no high frame rates on next gen consoles!
