Seems 4k to me

4K is a really misleading term. It really should be 4X, because it is literally the same resolution as having 4 monitors that are 1080p. But hey, what's in a name...

If so cant recommend, the va panels in general all look fuzzy
/out of focus compared to ips panels. For now im dell ultrasharps ips but id prefer an LG ips for better user interface.

It really is a personal thing that will vary user to user. I came from Dell Ultrasharp IPS 1920x1200 displays to an AOC 34" 3440x1440 VA panel and I think it looks fine. But my "professional" use case is development, not something that is color sensitive. In gaming it's great.

Been looking to buy a new monitor. Ideally I'd like to get the gigabyte 144hz ultrawide but it seems like that's never coming back in stock. Given that this is from LG and from Costco I think it's a good tradeoff.

If I'm not mistaken, when the Gigabyte was announced we were hearing that it uses the same panel as the AOC. Specs seem to be the same, so that might be a nice value choice. The only complaint that I have about the AOC is that the OSD sucks.

IMO the LG should be an even better display, but being limited to 100Hz is a little low for gaming when you can get 144Hz for similar prices/just a tad more.

Good for magic mirror ?

It is curved so it may be hard to get 2 way acrylic or glass that will work

4k: 3840x2160=8,294,400

A traditional 4k display still has 67% more pixels than this ultrawide.

Va gaming

Ips creatives

Agree but only advantage to VA is response time / refresh rate. IPS is easier on your eyes and there are IPS panels with similar refresh rates. Higher price, sure but less eye strain headaches especially for marathon gaming sessions.

Wrong. 4k 16:9 has 8,294,400 pixels. Its not by total pixel count its by horizontal resolution. 2560x1080= 2k, 2560x1440= 2k 3440x1440= 3k, 3840x2160= 4k

Not exactly true. It is more based on the horizontal width if the screen was cut down to a 16:9 ratio. Technically and 1080p resolution would be 2k which is part of the reason 4k was a dumb name to begin with. Ultrawide montiors add more horizontal pixels (and often add a W or UW in front) so it would make more sense to base it on the vertical pixels like they did for 1080p, 720p and note if they are ultrawide or super ultrawide (24:9 or 32:9 aspect ratios).

Factory calibrated. In-4-1.

I noticed that LG says this with a lot of their monitors, but that couldn't be further from the truth. I wouldn't get it just because you think it's calibrated.

Tempting specs. Anyone with personal experiences with these have an opinion?

I have this from November. Is a great monitor for productivity. My wife is using it as an accountant. The speakers are lacking but I didn't expect them to be amazing either.

Echoing this monitor being great. Use it everyday since I bought it during BF.

No issues here.

For working at home, is waiting for a USB C display worth it? Ready for upgrade for my macbook pro but want to make sure I buy the right one.

Personally I went all in on LG QHD USB-C at the expense of other features for price back in April. It's a bit overrated and the laptop charging isn't always reliable, I find myself keeping the power cord plugged in as well most of the time and I added a gaming laptop to my desk.... wishing I had a better all around display for that.

Done hours of research and it seems like this is a direct competitor to the gigabyte 144hz G34WQC, which is said to be the better monitor of the two but has been OOS for a while.

Both priced at $400.

Gigabyte 144hz, better srgb (120% and 85% rgb, better brightness)

As someone who mainly uses monitor for EVERYTHING (80% productivity, video/photo editing, 20% casual gaming) is the G34WQC worth waiting for? Does this LG do anything better than the Gigabyte?

Checkout the MSI panels I replied earlier in the thread.
