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.

LG 34GK950G UltraGear Curved Monitor

At 2K resolution, I have been playing at 100 HZ and it is like I am in a movie theater.
34" with a curve screen is a perfect size.
I like that this is ultra-wide (i.e. it is not your standard resolution, it can go up to 3440x1440).
This has a native refresh rate of 100 Hz, and can be 'overclocked' to 120 Hz. If overclocking you can't use the HDMI cable.
If you're gamer you probably want a 144 Hz refresh rate, which this doesn't have.

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".

LG 34GK950G UltraGear Curved Monitor

Colors are very bold, reds were noticeably redder but not a huge deal.
It looked pretty good overall though with ZERO dead/stuck pixels.
The picture looked pretty good right out of the box.
For an IPS this has a good color gamut - its noticeably better than many cheaper monitors.
The screen of the monitor is broken and can’t display as 21:9.

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.

There are many more features that as you game you can explore (monitor has built in cross-hair, etc).
The back lighting is a nice touch.
You can scroll through colors to pick the back light you find most appealing.
There are four pre-set game modes you can choose from in the monitor settings.
The back RGB ring is pretty nice and bright, and I actually ended up really liking it for bias lighting.

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.

LG 34GK950G UltraGear Curved Monitor

We are still playing with settings (and mainly using NVIDIA's control panel), but the G-sync seemed to connect automatically.
Display Port + HDMI + USB connections. Easy connection.
The monitor also acts as a USB/HDMI/Audio hub so you can connect all your peripherals in one place.
The monitor can function as a 2-port USB hub, which is a great touch.
We switch between a Mac (HDMI) and a gaming PC (DP). I really like it.
