Nevermind, this is only 3440x1440. Pretty weak for this size.

I was considering this monitor but after seeing it at best buy I decided to get the c3 42 instead.

3 main issues with this monitor.

1. Low pixel density (it looked fuzzy)
2. Matte finish
3. Resolution scales poorly. You need at least a 3080 12gb to drive this because turning down the resolution to gain performance isn't really an option. 1080p UW at this size will look terrible.

Quote from coggy2004 :
You clearly are uninformed in PC tech but that's okay I'll catch you up. What you describe is accurate from a height perspective but 2k 27 inch monitors run 2560x1440 with 1440 being the vertical pixel count and 2560 being the horizonal pixel count. When you scale that out from a size perspective most 34 inch ultra wide monitors have a resolution of 3440x1440 which is 3440 pixels wide and 1440 pixels tall. This monitor is actually 45 inches wide with the same common resolution of a 34 inch uw monitor. Basic math tells you that pixels per inch or ppi will be lessened on this monitor than the common 34 inch option with the same resolution.

All that being said... you don't own the monitor, you don't seem to have intentions of purchasing it, and lastly you aren't knowledgeable on the topic so all signs point to you being the troll here.
Not quite, I even stated I don't own the monitor, people should go look at it in person. Its clearly a "gaming" monitor. If thats the purpose of use its likely fine. I wouldn't use it for productivity, or coding etc.

I bought it and returned it within a day, for such a big monitor 3440x1440 is super low and I can clearly see the gaps between pixels, I'm sticking to my 38" Alienware 3840 X 1600

I saw this in store a couple days ago. The text was so fuzzy looking I thought it was not running its native resolution............but it was https://static.slickdealscdn.com/ima...lies/frown.gif Maybe for gaming only. No idea why they even made a display this size at only 1440p.
because 90% dont have a gpu capable of running 4k at decent frames.

I bought one of these and used it for 2 days on my racing sim rig. After about 4 hours of use I ordered another one and use it for my flight sim. At first I thought the display was lacking a bit of brightness. I plugged the USB-B -> USB-A cable into the computer and monitor and downloaded the LG Software for it. It immediately brightened the display after the software was installed and I restarted the computer. I came from a 34" OLED and can say there's little to no difference in text reading. I dont seem to struggle or have any issues there.

To note to the people saying they're looking at the Store Display. That's a horribly configured display and looks NOTHING like what I have setup once configured and updated.

I bought this and I already own an Alienware 34" QD-OLED. Honestly, all the claims are highly subjective and will depend on your use case.

First, let me say that I sit 33" from this display and use it for both my Mac and a Gaming PC.

The thing that I found surprising is the fact that LG gives you a free calibration studio in their downloads section. This allows you to use something like a Spyder X for Hardware Calibration.

So I set the thing up at a roughly 35" viewing distance and scaled the font in Windows to 130%. With the previously mentioned settings, I don't have any issues with clarity and the display (If you can sit 41" from the screen and pixel density issues will disappear, so it isn't surprising that I don't find this to be a big issue).

As for the Matte Finish, I prefer that for PC Monitors the contrast is still fantastic.

I know the QD OLED has advantages for sure, but I genuinely prefer this to the Alienware as I cannot stand the 49" 32:9 aspect ratio and the 34" model I have is too small for my liking.

Oh, and that's another benefit to this, it is 21:9, so there aren't really any modern games that won't work with it full screen.

Did anyone try out LG OLED Flex? Is it a better option?
It is the same panel as this and the Corsair Xenon Flex.

Not sure if the people complaining about low DPI are trolling or what. This is essentially the same as a 27" monitor in height for the 1440 p which is basically perfect.

With that said I dont have this monitor. It's in most stores I'd check it out before committing.
I'm not complaining about it, I like it... However, it is the same as a 27" 1080P and you would think that nobody ever coded on that resolution before (except, that's precisely the size and resolution they give to the guys at every place I've ever worked, for coding).

Why not just get a 4k oled tv like b3 55 or c2 42 or 48 for less than 1000$
Well, first they're not 21:9 and you would create a perfect scenario for burn-in if you tried to run it at 21:9.

Second, they're not 240 Hz.

Third, calibrating this only requires a colorimeter as the rest of the solution is provided for you.

Finally, this is optimized to be a monitor in that it will run the pixel cleaning upon going to sleep and it will go to sleep and wake up instantly.
