About this deal

The LG 34GN850 doesn’t have any issues when it comes to accessibility for its OSD since it offers two ways to manipulate its OSD. The LG 34GN850 monitor offers a display diagonal of 34 inches, providing a wide viewing area for users.

There's also a few nitpicks like the lack of backlight strobing (even if this feature could never work with this panel), a limited sRGB mode and average design. This LG 34GN850 has been used as my main gaming monitor for a few years but I've recently changed to a two monitor setup. Build quality is certainly a few notches above more budget-friendly displays, image quality is sublime, and motion clarity in fast-paced games at the overclocked 160Hz refresh rate, or even the standard 144Hz, is outstanding. Black level rise and gamma shift happen fairly quickly when moving off-center, but colors remain accurate until you reach moderate viewing angles.However, the cable management cutout feels rather flimsy and could potentially break if pressure is applied. In Septemeber 2023, the company added the rich text application to its list of deprecated Windows features. The 'Normal' Overdrive setting provides the best performance with less overshoot than 'Fast' and 'Faster'. Dimensions, weight and color Information about the dimensions and the weight of the specific model with and without stand as well as the colors, in which it is offered to the market.

Frankly, we would have loved to see USB-C connectivity on this model since its also a possible candidate for productivity use. The difference between 1800R and 1900R is noticeable in a side-by-side comparison, but outside of that it's a negligible difference and to us, either curve is suitable for an ultrawide. While the 34GK950F has fallen away to an 8ms grey to grey response at this refresh rate, as overshoot is too high with better performance, the 34GN850 remains rock solid with its 4.You can opt to overclock the display in the OSD to unlock the full 160Hz, but you’ll have to sacrifice either 10-bit colors for 8-bit, or use YUV422 chroma-subsampling while keeping 10-bit colors. Saturation when assessing this display against sRGB suffers from the usual lack of an sRGB gamut clamp, which noticeably oversaturates colors. Keep track of every move and let LG’s professional equipment leave a lasting impression behind your back.

The 34GN850-B is valued at higher than your run-of-the-mill panel, predominantly because of their ultrawide disposition, regardless by contrasting the costs online, you ought to be able to find an low-cost deal for it. Although it's mainly made for gaming and it performs impressively well in that regard, it's also a good choice for productivity and media consumption. 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. Another missed opportunity on the LG 34GN850 is to add a pair of gaming-grade speakers with decent power output. For OSD tweaking this now leaves you with a choice: do you use the sRGB mode to fix oversaturation, at the expense of greyscale tweaks?However, the ASUS is a better choice for dark rooms because it has a much higher contrast ratio to produce deeper blacks.
