So all in all Ultrawide feels incredible and this is a very good monitor. I haven't fully decided if I prefer IPS over TN, but I'm leaning towards IPS for the amazing colors. But with games providing constant motion and a lot of color shifting all the time, I really can't see the glow during all the games I have tested yet. I guess it could be a nuisance when playing games that are very dark for most of the time. Thankfully when gaming it's pretty much unnoticable. From what I've read, that's just a common issue with IPS screens and you have to be unbelievably lucky to get a panel with minimal glow. The first time I noticed it I was shocked, but I feel like I'm getting used to it. I suspect this was the reason this monitor was sent back to Amazon by the previous owner. My panel also has some 'IPS glow' which is especially noticable in one particular corner of the screen when browsing or using apps in dark mode in a dimmed room. But blacks can be a problem, they usually look more greyish. It's also quick, haven't noticed any ghosting, smearing or whatever. This is my first time using an IPS monitor. I'm still getting used to the quirks of IPS.Looks quite good though (but I wished bezels were a tiny bit thinner). There's no swiveling and the base is enourmously big. Ergonomics of this LG monitor aren't great.

Some games like Ori look great, others like AC Odyssey (and unfortunately also FH5 from my quick testing) don't look too hot with HDR enabled (washed out to the point where it looks worse than SDR). It can't push enough nits to give a truly good HDR experience.

G-Sync (and Freesync) are fantastic (though the lower range starting from 48 Hz might be a bit low, my old TN went down to 40).

Looks a lot better than the TN I was using before.

My LG panel has some great colours right out of the box.

Browsing and watching 16:9 videos in full screen obviously isn't great though, it just looks weird at the aspect ratio and curvature. It feels completely natural to read and play games. I got used to the curved monitor very quickly.So if your GPU was great for 1440p, it will be at the very least good as well with the UW-1440p (and there's always DLSS helping out if you have an Nvidia GPU) The increase in pixels isn't all that much, it's still a lot less pixels to push compared to native 4K. 3440x1440p is a great resolution coming from non-UW-1440p.I do feel like 38' might be even better for my taste just for some more verticality, but given the quite significant price increase from 34 to 38, I'm happy with my choice. It feels big enough to fully sink into a game, but still small enough so that you don't have to turn your head all the way when looking from one half of the screen to the other. 34' seems like a good sweet spot to me.It feels more cinematic due to the aspect ratio, at times it feels like I have some big ass black bars top and bottom, but in a good way.

I used to have two windows open at pretty much all times on my 27', so getting more width makes working from home a lot better for me

Ultrawide is incredible for both gaming and working from home.

I was also coming from a 1440p monitor (27', TN panel). Feels like I struck gold with it :) Also no dead pixels etc, so I'm really happy with that purchase. It still had all the foils glued on, some cables weren't taken out and the monitor was used for merely 2 hours according to the display's software. I was prepared for the worst, but the condition of the monitor was so much better than expected. Click to shrink.I just received the LG 34GN850 yesterday :) I got it for roughly 500€ from Amazon Warehouse Deals.
