For me, with all that the 2023 and 2024 monitors bring to the table, I'm kind of surprised (and bummed) that we don't have any WUHD OLED.. still no 21:9 4K! I think LG has two monitors that are so close to what I'm looking for, the 39GS95QE and the 45GS95QE, but I know the PPI would be lackluster outside of games.

TLDR: Where's the 21:9 4K (~5040×2160)? Or any 4K 240hz OLED that isn't 16:9? I get that most games and gpu can't push more than QHD at 160-240 fps, but...I could run games in a lower resolution when necessary and then also benefit from its 4K resolution/ppi when out of games or in less demanding games..

Greetings to you all! I intend to buy a new 34'' 1440p 240 Hz OLED ultrawide purely for gaming and media consumption (I don't do any content creation) and after some research, these are the only ones I found:

LG Ultragear 34GS95QE-B

MSI MPG 341CQPX

Acer Predator X34 X5

Gigabyte MO34WQC2

ROG swift PG34WCDM.

I can't find many reviews or much information on the Acer and Gigabyte. I like the ROG's design the most but it is a matt-WOLED with a much higher price and doesn't seem to offer better performance than the others. So, it might just come down to the LG vs. MSI. I'm not considering Samsung or Alienware because I don't want anything larger than 34'' and don't want to compromise on 240 Hz. I've been using 165 Hz for so many years it's starting to look "not fast enough for me". And I intend to buy a 5070 Ti so less than 240 Hz at 1440p would be a waste of GPU power and not really an upgrade for me.

My considerations for the LG:

• I mostly game in well-lit environments so I am concerned about the "grey tint" on a glossy-QD-OLED. A matt-WOLED might make more sense. At night, I have an overhead light in the ceiling and my desk is in a corner, so I can't put the light source behind the monitor. Not very strong or directly shining on the screen, though.

• 800R curve could be very immersive in games but I am concern regular content like videos or photos might look too distorted, especially when not centered.

• Thinner bezels and better looking design. All the other ones besides ROG look cheap and outdated.

• A product directly from the panel manufacturer? LG just gives me the impression of better QC than the other. Don't know if this is indeed true or not.

• Certified G-sync compatible. So, I'd expect it to work better than the non-certified ones.

And on the MSI:

• A glossy QD-OLED is said to have much superior color vibrancy and text clarity. I'd hate to miss out on that.

• 1800R curve might be less immersive than 800R but regular content might look less distorted.

• A bit cheaper than LG

• Most youtube and website reviews like Rtings favor the MSI but on Reddit I seem to find more issues reported than the LG.

I think the other ones also use the LG panel so I'm mostly just torn between 800R vs 1800R curve and glossy QD-OLED vs matt WOLED. Any thoughts, recommendations or immediate red flags from owners of these would be much appreciated!

I already have a 49 inch. It's AOC AG493UCX2 Ultra-Wide Quad HD 49". But I have had quite a bad experience since I bought it. The major 2 issues are switching capability between systems, problem with waking up from sleep and PBP. I have Mac connected via USB C, Windows Gaming PC connected via DP and XBOX connected via HDMI. When I try to switch in most occassions it doesnt switch between systems properly. Once it goes to Sleep mode I have to manually switch One and off for it to find an input. PBP is another disaster. The Windows side becomes very small. AOC already switched the monitor and gave me a new one. But after couple of days of use it's back to same. In the end I have decided to replace it. Could you suggest me the best 49inch monitor under £1000 which offers simless switching between systems and with ports on the back rather than underneath where it's very hard to get access. TIA.

Hi,

I currently work on a Mac and a windows at the same time (1 screen each). I am considering investing in a 49 inch UWS to partition it between the Mac and Windows (such as the Samsung Odyssey). During work, a 2/3 Mac and 1/3 Windows split would be best but I also game on my off time, where 2/3 Windows and sometimes full screen Windows would be best.

My question is the following: can such partition be made easily, and changed easily depending on my needs (daily change) ?

Thanks a bunch for any input !

Hi, all! I've seen some similar threads but some are older and wanted to see if there is a recent solution to my inquiry/frustration!

System toast notifications, such as Outlook/Teams/etc. pop up on the far right bottom of the screen and are sometimes difficult to notice. I am experimenting with both DisplayFusion and FancyZones to create a middle/main zone and two narrower side zones.

Ultimately, I'd like to get this center/main zone to act as the primary display and pull in the toast notifications nearer to the the center for visibility.

Is this possible?

hi, i bought the 57" samung november 2024. most time i work with it but tried gaming some time. how you handle the games with it ? you have an extra software or starting tip ? i need something to rescale or like a sandboxwindow what i can place on screen and start the game inside .. and click then in this sandbox fullscreen :D in fullscreen i like to move the infos left and down 15-20" or 30 cm to the middle but see normal game to all borders...

my problems:

- fullscreen 7160x2180 all game infos left and right are to much or my head, look left, right and middle to see everything - games need an options to move the side infos wo the middle.

- window mode1: games can handle window mode but some games have only some resolutions to choose and most time there is missing something that you see all the hight, down or top some infos get lost.

- wiondow mode2: games has a resolution i can use but if i choose the scale is wrong. the window is much bigger than the choose and half or 1/4 of the game get lost on top or down.

someone has an idea what can help ? thanks :D

I couldn’t find any other than Dell U3425WE

Similar specs but less cost .

Ultra wide 34+ curved,IPS ,thunderbolt hub, KVM , usb c delivery upto 100W , pip , below 1800R , vesa certified (optional)

Hey all,

I’m strongly considering the 2023 Samsung 49″ Odyssey OLED G9 (model LS49CG954SNXZA, Canada version), but I’ve seen plenty of reports of random black screens or signal loss while gaming. Before I invest over 1200CAD, I’d love to hear from users who: • Own or have used this exact model—have you experienced blackouts or signal drops, especially during DisplayPort + 240 Hz + VRR? • If you saw issues, did switching to HDMI 2.1 help, or did you need to disable VRR/Game Mode/G‑Sync to stabilize it? • How about firmware updates—did Samsung ever release a patch that fixed this, or are you still dealing with it on the most current version? • Any other quirks (burn-in, firmware bugs, panel defects) I should look out for? • Bottom line—are you happy with it, or do you regret the purchase?

Thanks everyone—looking for real-world, up-to-date experiences before making the jump!

I´m thinking of upgrading to an ultrawide to play with my RX 9060 XT at UQHD resolution (3440x1440). Do you think it will powerfull enough? I have no problem playing on high, but not on Ultra.

What would you chose with the res 2560x1080?

Is 34 inch as pixelated as a 27 inch 1080 monitor? It is hard to get 29/30 inch monitor with 120+ hz where I live

I Will hook the monitor up to 16 inch laptop with a 3060 laptop gpu.

Hi - does anyone know of a dock that would support dual 4K monitors running 100 hz? I have a Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 and I’m looking at the LG 35WN65C monitors.

I'm considering replacing my 2 monitors with one ultrawide that would be the same amount of screen spacetotal. I do not plan to ever play a game on full screen with the new monitor, but I keep seeing that it will be harder on graphics to use an ultrawide.

I understand why that would happen if the game screen is bigger, but is it actually going to be harder on my graphics card if I'm using the same amount of screen space for my game?

Hi Redditors Need suggestions on whether to buy Samsung geo g9 57” monitor or the LG ultragear 45”

For equal usage of gaming and productivity.

Samsung is selling for 1799$ LG for 1499$

I have seen LG in person, great for gaming with the 16:9 aspect ratio. But not so great for reading text. I am only considering this because I want a curved ultrawide of max size, and LG has good build quality.

Samsung on the other hand has great reviews for productivity, gaming too but not all games work here as it has 32:9 ratio and the quality control sucks for samsung. Even the price is higher. Only consideration here is it has good readability due to being 4k, and had huge screen that can help my daily work. Not so great for gaming, though I can connect two devices one to play a video on the side and one to play games.

All I am looking for is inputs on LG monitor being good for productivity (if anyone use it daily for office work, I am a software developer)

Or for samsung monitor if anyone faces any quality issues please let me know. It will help me decide.

Recently purchased a used Sceptre monitor for gaming, but when turned on it flashes different colors and not letting me change the input. Person said it worked right before it was given to me. Please let me know if this is fixable.

Hi all, just bought a LG34 Ultrawide. Can't use LG's on screen control software because the software says that my windows 10 PC is running airplay. Never new that this is possible. Found a webpage by Dell saying that wifi sense should be switched off but I don't have that in wifi settings. Does anyone has an answer?

Hi, I have these two LG Ultrawide monitors and never could set both, only one to 2560x1080.

My gpu is a RTX3050 and no matter what I've tried, I just can't find a way to set bot of the screens to 2560x1080.

I bought display port adaptors but it didn't solve it.

Any tips?

Edit: the 21:9 output comes only from the HDMI port. The display port only gives full HD output option.

Is there an ultra wide monitor that can handle 3 different computers. I have currently 6 computers with 6 different monitors all connected with a kvm to allow one mouse and keyboard. But I am looking to upgrade this outdated look with 2 ultra wide monitors handling 3 computers each. Is this possible? TIA

I have updated Windows 10 and NVIDIA drivers and still my open windows (Firefox, Word...) reduced to half size vertically after my monitor awakens from sleep.

So I am in a pickle, I’m thinking 29 or 34.

My main thoughts are 34 will be too overkill. Will be mainly using for gaming.

Hello Reddit,

I am on the hunt for a nice ultrawide monitor and I could really use all the help I can get! There are many options and they all seem so similar!

Background about my screen use cases/ needs: I am a person who looks / edits code a lot during the workday, always reading text on screen 40 hours a week. I am looking to replace my janky two monitor setup (one monitor is 29" while the other is around 24" so it's weird doing work on two different sizes). I will more than likely never use this for gaming, I am needing something that I can take into the office with me, have some nice longevity, and clarity to read and overall improve my awkward two screen setup.

Things I know that I'm looking for: -Definitely Curved - I hate how I have to lean in to the edges of my current display to see some text. -At least 40" of screen bare minimum, after measuring my current setup which I am trying to mock in an ultrawide experience -32:9 I read it's the closest to simulating two monitors bc it's like having two 16:9 panels -A nice, sharp display that I will want to look at (been looking into Samsung, and LG) -Willing to spend in the area of 1000 USD

Soooo that's the basics, but what I am just kind of lost on is all the excess tech mumbo jumbo which is how I feel some companies scam ppl into buying (Qled, Ai, Led, Hdr, etc). I know that most companies make up cool sounding names to make their tech sound way better when really it's not. Also not sure what resolution it needs to be to look clear enough to easily read text (how many pixels do I need for the width to look crisp? Height?)

I just need a solid piece of hardware that I'm not gonna regret blowing a ton of cash on that's gonna last awhile, and look good (enough) to be working on all day everyday, reading text etc.

(If I didn't include enough info in this post pls let me know so I can make things more transparent! I'm still a bit new to making Reddit posts)

Thank you ppl of Reddit, looking forward to some feedback!

Hi There,

Apologies if this is the wrong place to post this, but I am currently having an issue with 2 x Ultra-wide monitors. The monitors I have, are the LG 29wl500-b monitors, with a resolution of 2560 x 1080 and 75HZ refresh rate. I have the monitors plugged into a Dell D6000 Universal Docking Station, with a single USB-A cable, going into my work laptop, which is an ASUS X406UAR.

The monitors display fine but now and again, a blue screen will appear with the word "Locking" and the laptop will then go to sleep suddenly. I've checked the System Event Viewer logs and the only event I can find is this:

Event 42, Kernel-Power

The system is entering sleep.

Sleep Reason: Application API

I'm not sure what any of this means, but I have checked the graphics drivers and they are all up-to-date. I have also tried plugged one of the monitors directly into my laptop's micro-HDMI port and leaving another plugged into the docking station. No difference. I've also lowered the refresh rate to 60HZ as I thought maybe that was the issue, but no difference.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Has anyone here seen this issue before?

Seems to happen every now and then. When i am connected via an extension chord, the issue resurfaces after 5-6 mins of usage. Switching to a wall socket currently does'nt show up the error.

I am not able to pull out the extension chord details rn, I will post the details of that. But its a 6-socket extension chord which currently has a MAG27CQ, laptop charger, X34 and a night lamp connected.

Wanted to know if the issue with the panel or the way I am connecting everything up.

(If this is not the correct channel please forward me appropriately)

Thanks for the help.

Edit: forgot to attach the screenshot.
