Product Information

At the rear side of the monitor, there’s the Sphere Lighting RGB technology, which adds ambient lighting through different glowing patterns and colors. There are various panel technologies. Each has its own specific features - viewing angles, color reproduction, response time, brightness/contrast, production cost, etc. The image quality depends directly on the type of the display panel used. Should you prefer more accurate sRGB colors for SDR content, there is a provided emulation mode that restricts the monitor’s native ~135% sRGB gamut to ~100%. The storage humidity shows the lower and upper humidity limit, which ensures safe storage of the display. Storing it outside these limits might damage the display. The stand of the monitor is sturdy and offers height adjustment up to 110mm, tilt by -5°/15° and 100x100mm VESA mount compatibility. You cannot pivot or swivel the stand.

Information about whether there is a possibility for wall mounting according to the VESA Mounting Interface Standard (MIS). video shown for illustration purpose only. Actual lighting effects of Sphere Lighting 2.0 may vary due to contents and each mode. The static contrast shows the ratio between the brightest and the darkest color, which the display can reproduce simultaneously, for example, within one and the same frame/scene. Screen size: 24.5" | Aspect ratio: 16:9 | Resolution: 1,920 x 1,080 | Panel type: TN G-Sync compatible | Brightness: 400cd/m2 | Refresh rate: 280Hz | Response time: 0.5ms (GtG) | Inputs: 2 x HDMI 2.0, 1 x DisplayPort 1.2 Having been through a few monitors over the years, I can honestly say this is by far the superior monitor,VESA DisplayHDR 600 delivers sharp and vivid images with precise brightness and contrast levels, so you can enjoy your movies and videos Last but not least, the LG 34GK950G IPS gaming monitor feature NVIDIA G-SYNC which allows the display to change its refresh rate dynamically if you have a compatible NVIDIA graphics card. You can elevate the screen up to 110mm, swivel it to the left or right, tilt it, and mount it using the 100 x 100mm VESA pattern. Information of the number of pixels in a unit of length. With the decrease of the display size and the increase of its resolution, the pixel density increases. Given that the difference between 8-bit and 10-bit color depth isn’t that noticeable in games, this won’t bother most users. Further, most games only support 8-bit color.

The operating temperature shows the safe temperature range (from minimum to maximum), within which the display will function flawlessly. Outside this range it might operate improperly and/or fail entirely. images simulated to enhance feature understanding. It may differ from actual use. Comparison of speed with IPS 5ms (Left image) and IPS 1ms (GtG).Just like the LG 34GK950F, theLG 34GK950G is based on a 34″ curved nano IPS panel with a 98% DCI-P3 color gamut, a 400-nit peak brightness, a 1,000:1 static contrast ratio, and 10-bit color depth via dithering (8-bit + 2-bit FRC). On the other hand, if a scene is very demanding with numerous dark and bright objects close together, the image quality won’t be any better. So, it all depends on the content you’re watching; it varies between different games, videos, individual scenes, etc. The operating humidity shows the acceptable level of humidity, in which the display will function flawlessly. It sets a lower and an upper humidity level for safe operation and is measured in percentage.

Paired with a 2080S I play DayZ mainly and what a experience it is, complete immersion and gsync is a game changer imho. The maximum number of colors, which the display is able to reproduce, depends on the type of the panel in use and color enhancing technologies like FRC. However, unlike the FreeSync model, the LG 34GK950F, it has no HDR support and no motion blur reduction technology, yet it is more expensive. Screen size: 27" 1000R | Aspect ratio: 16:9 | Resolution: 2,560 x 1,440 | Panel type: VA FreeSync Premium | HDR compatibility: DisplayHDR 400 | Brightness: 400cd/m2 | Refresh rate: 240Hz | Response time: 1ms | Inputs: 1 x DisplayPort 1.2a, 2 x HDMI 2.0, 1 x USB-C, 1 x Headphone Information about the brightness of the screen. It is measured in candela per square metre (cd/m²).The ‘Normal’ mode efficiently prevents ghosting behind fast-moving objects without adding any pixel overshoot across the entire refresh rate range. Approximate width of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the width is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio. Games that do support 10-bit color are mostly very demanding, in which case, reaching 144FPS at 3440×1440 with high picture settings will be nearly impossible anyway, even with a high-end PC rig.

With the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9, you get a super ultrawide display, and it’s not just “super” because of how wide it is, but also because of how powerful it is. Samsung delivers an insanely stretched-out 48.8-inch display panel that’s effectively two 1440p monitors side by side without a gap in between. The display has an incredibly tight 1000R curvature that keeps it nice and close to your eyes from one side to the other. The HDMI 2.0 port is limited to 100Hz at 3440×1440 with 8-bit color depth – or 85Hz with 10-bit color 4:4:4 RGB. It also supports 120Hz at 2560×1440 and HDMI-VRR for Xbox consoles. Price & Similar Monitors The LG 34GP950G-B is a great ultrawide gaming monitor with a 34 inch IPS panel. It's part of LG's popular UltraGear lineup of gaming monitors, delivering an impressive gaming experience with an outstanding response time at the max refresh rate, fantastic low input lag, and a few extra gaming features. It natively supports NVIDIA's G-SYNC variable refresh rate technology, and it also works with AMD's FreeSync technology, but FreeSync doesn't work over HDMI on this model. Like most IPS monitors, it has wide viewing angles but sub-par contrast, so it's not the best choice for gaming in the dark. It does have a local dimming feature that's supposed to improve dark-scene performance, but it's pretty bad, and most people will want to leave it disabled. It looks great in bright rooms, with impressive peak brightness in SDR and decent reflection handling. It's a great choice if you care about accurate colors, as it has amazing accuracy out of the box, a superb SDR color gamut, and incredible gradient handling, with no noticeable banding at all. The LG 34GP950G-B’s panel uniformity is great if its local dimming feature is turned off. Clouding issues and noticeable trails from the dimming zone’s transitions can become noticeable in some instances. Take note that this could vary between every monitor out there due to the nature of IPS technology and, of course, the edge-lit local dimming feature of this monitor. The ratio between the horizontal and the vertical side of the display. Some of the standard and widely used aspect ratios are 4:3, 5:4, 16:9 and 16:10.
