However, now that you know all of the advantages of an IPS panel, you may understand our disappointment at learning that this monitor features a VA panel, which is much inferior to an IPS panel in terms of color fidelity. During our tests with fast-paced games, this monitor showed a bit of motion blur, but that wasn’t the worst part at all.
Fortunately, you can get around that with some slight tweaking in the red and green tones. While it does have good out-of-the-box colors for the casual customer, it isn’t recommended for media professionals. In that case, maybe the LG 34WP85C-B will suit you better. The UltraWide 35WN75C is a device built through the workers at LG. With 35 '' of display size, the UltraWide 35WN75C provides more than enough screen space, yet it could also take a lot of place on your workspace. The added panoramic length that comes with 21:9 enables the UltraWide 35WN75C's panel to be curved in contrast to the narrower screen proportionss, although not all 21:9 ones are curved. Connectivity An important question - does the screen use PWM for brightness regulation? You will find out but first read more. I measured the maximum brightness of the screen in the default Custom mode at 282 nits, a little less than the spec’d 300 nits. If you switch to the garish HDR Effect picture mode I measured 328 nits. In general use I have the monitor between 160 and 180 nits so this is plenty. If you want to use the monitor in true HDR mode, it’s not really bright enough failing to meet even the basic DislayHDR 400 standard, but I still found it a nice feature for gaming that I’ll discuss shortly. Adjusting colours I connect the screen to two different laptops over the USB-C cable with DP pass-through. The screen can charge both my laptops - Thinkpad P1 gen2 and Dell Precision 5530. The thinkpad correctly reports 94W power adapter. It's OK for general work. Both laptops are able to drive the screen at 100Hz. I want to further play with other settings in the NVIDIA Control Panel (Desktop Color Depth, Output Color Depth, Output Color Format, Output Dynamic Range).My company gave me a new Samsung S20FE (SM-G780F/DS) last week. The good thing is that it works with the monitor in the DEX (desktop) mode. If you happen to have a samsung account please use the link above and complain to Samsung. Their DEX-enabled hardware can drive this screen in the native resolution 3440x1440. The 100Hz refresh rate, Freesync and HDR support, and usable 5ms GTG response time make the monitor a decent option for gaming. I tried it both with my gaming desktop PC and an XBox Series X console. Most PC games support the ultra wide aspect ratio and driving games in particular really suit the widescreen format. The monitor supports HDR10 and even though it’s nowhere near as bright as an HDR TV, games like Forza Horizon 4 look very good in HDR mode. Turning on HDR in Windows 10 I've been an happy 29" UW users for a year now and I've decided that's time to upgrade my second monitor too, and this time I'd like to go even bigger.
When it came to the brightness ratio, everything started to fall apart even further. Although 300 nits are more than plenty for 95% of users, I’m not going to lie: I was anticipating something in the 350 or 400 nits range at this price tag. It’s hard to confirm the spec’d 5ms response time, but I didn’t notice any issues with ghosting in the games I played and input lag wasn’t detectable either. Watching Netflix HDR content You can see how LG describe the various HDR modes in this table from the manual: Picture quality and colour accuracy Decent sharpness at typical viewing distances

I forgot to add that speakers are very decent for an LCD screen. I am definitely happy they're there.
The file will transfer across to the Desktop of the other computer. You can transfer files up to 2GB in size and speeds weren’t too bad. A 1GB file took around 2 minutes to copy across from a wired desktop PC to a wireless MacBook – that’s around 73Mbps. Keyboard shortcuts if you prefer The PiP and PbP features are not available (or I haven't found them yet). Be careful - the original LG software offers "PiP" which actually means a floating window. Surely, it has the advantage of having a greater response time ratio than an IPS panel, yet as this isn’t a gaming monitor, I’m still not sure why they chose this panel over an IPS one. Brightness As I mentioned earlier you’re limited to 60Hz over HDMI with a 4K input, but that’s plenty for most games. No noticeable ghosting or input lagWith this adjustment I measured the colour accuracy or Delta E (ΔE) of the screen both before and after calibration. Delta E is a metric for understanding how the human eye perceives colour difference with a value of less than 1 being not perceptible to the human eye. And a value between 1 and 2 being barely perceptible. Before calibration the average Delta E measured 1.77 and the maximum 4.59. These should be below 1.5 and 4 respectively. The colour calibration report that came with the monitor doesn’t specify the exact value, only that it achieved a PASS with the maximum Delta E under a rather unambitious target of 5. … and after calibration Unlike the low-end monitor category, the high-end class has more variations and distinctions in its models. Not just in terms of functionality, but also in terms of aesthetics. Ultrawide high-end screens also follow this pattern, with one being significantly different.
