There is a physical button. At the bottom of the screen right in the middle. It's a joy stick LED button.

InterestingIThanks for sharing, do you mostly use this monitor for work or entertainment? For office work like excel or other situation like small fonts in high density, do you feel any difficulty that caused eye strain than the old monitor

This is my first day... and yes office apps.

And yes, I feel more eye strain then my old monitor but it may be that I need to get used to a curved display... i almost feel a little light headed... kind of like when I use noise canceling features on my headphones. Perhaps I just have to get use to it. But the txt is very clear... no problem there.

And I FOUND THE BUTTON... Yah,

In the middle but not in front, UNDERNEATH. What is funny is that I think the default settings are pretty good but I did adjust the brightness to 75 out of 100. THANK YOU!!!

I am pretty sure I have to get use to such a big monitor. I found this post about it making u dizzy.

I had it the same distance as my old 24", I think I need to put it back about 3"-6" further.

The best monitors for eye strain those that are easy on the eyes, so an easy way to counter the harmful effects of staring at your computer all day is to switch to using a curved monitor. Curved monitors provide less distortion, a wider field of view, and better viewing angles to prevent you from tiring out your eyes.

Bottom Line: If your eyes hurt from staring at computers all day, consider getting a curved monitor that lets you take in the whole picture at once without straining your eyes.

I bought this monitor when it was at this price after last Thanksgiving. I use it for programming and I highly recommend it. The text is clear and the colors look perfect to me out of the box. I upgraded from a 24-in 1920x1280 monitor and it took me no time to adapt to the wide-ness of this model.

The only problem was that there's no dedicated driver for it when I got it. I just checked the LG website again after seeing this thread and found that LG has recently released some software for this model: https://www.lg.com/ca_en/support/...-35WN65C-B

Has any one had any experience with the driver and the dual controller?

Don't have to pan head as much to see sides of the screen. Went from two 25" LG ultra wides to a curved 34" plus a vertical screen (19") and my neck is much happier.

Where do you put the 19" with the 34" curve?

Turned the 19" vertical and put it to the left.

Nice! I will look into that option.

Previously had 2 neck surgeries and using 2 x 27" right now. Love it, but it's a bit much now (a lot of head turning and position shifting).

Your 34" + 19" vertical may be what I need.

Any one try this yet? Any feedback would be much appreciated before I bite the bullet. Thanks!

I purchased three of them, and used the link to download the driver. No issues here, but I came from a 34inch Samsung curved already.

Is anyone having issues with the monitor going blank for a few seconds and losing audio as well? It happens randomly throughout the day. I am using a DP to mDP, connected to Surface 4 with 3440X1440, 99.982 Hz, 8-bit and stock monitor settings. I have tried everything including the latest monitor drivers, removing docking stations and directly connecting, removing onscreen control software, looking for any errors in the windows logs (no errors), etc... and hit a wall!

Thanks! I directly connected the mDP to Surface but that hasn't helped either. I am now going to try replacing the cable and then the monitor, and then after wasting tons of time, likely going to return the monitor. Also, when I reached out to Costco technical support, they asked me if I had restarted the monitor

WOW....

Did you update the firmware... other people stated that updating firmware on there surface pro solved the problem.
