3-4x better contrast than IPS. Much better blacks. Usual viewing angle problems with VA panels are eliminated by the curve. No IPS glow problems on the edges. Cheaper.

VA panel, but looks like a good deal if you're OK with that.

Anyone know how it compares to this monitor from Costco? Got it on sale for the same price but still within the return period.

Almost every ultrawide curved panel is VA and for several good reasons.

Short answer: They're pretty similar. If it were me, I'd keep the LG.

Long answer: I find https://www.displayspecifications.com helpful for comparing monitors. Here is a comparison of the 2 monitors: https://www.displayspecifications...edee355f4f

Yeah; curved VA panels are easier and cheaper to manufacture, and they have good contrast.

I have two 27 inch G5s mounted side by side. They are great for office use. I had originally bought Acer screens with supposedly better specs and the G5 was surprisingly MUCH better. Can't speak to how'd they be for gaming.

Everyone commenting about the panel, but it's the no USB-C for me that's the deal breaker. Anyone else with differing opinions?

Care to point to a similar priced (and still available) 34" curved IPS panel? Hint, they are right next to the $20,000 Rolls-Royce's....

There's a reason why these are on a discount. Watch GamerNexus' video on LG monitors embedding ads into windows.

Yes, How is this not higher up. The video has almost 400k views but I guess this deal is too slick.
