LG 34GS95QE 34-inch Ultragear OLED Curved Gaming Monitor
Breaking down the basics
So we’ll skim over the basics of this monitor quickly before getting into some of the more unique specs and features. It’s 34″ with an 800R curved display, 1440p resolution, has a 240hz refresh rate, and 0.03ms GTG response time.
In short, 34-inches is good for those looking for a more immersive experience, especially when paired with the curvature of this display. 1440p, or QHD, is a good mid-ground, especially if you don’t have one of the very top-end GPUs, like an RTX 4080 Super or RTX 4090 – which would be better paired with a 4K monitor. 240hz is pretty standard these days in all honesty, even with QHD monitors. Again, it depends on your graphics card and what it can achieve, but realistically, you may never actually play games in 1440p and 240hz – but it’s good to know it’s an option should you wish to in the future. 0.03ms GTG response time basically means that pixels can change from grey to grey in 0.03ms. That’s fast, and again, pretty standard with more premium monitors. It will help to create a sense of smoothness on screen, even when things are going pretty hectic. So if you’re playing at high fps, this is what you want.
Now, onto the more unique elements of this monitor…
Special features
First off, since we’re talking about performance, let’s take a look at the adaptive sync technology. With this monitor you’re getting AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, which is the highest level you can get right now. What this does is assist with high fps gaming to help reduce screen tearing or stuttering. While adaptive sync technology is commonplace, you’ll only find the premium versions in more premium monitors – so for the price, this is a bit of win.
This is an OLED monitor, which means it has self illuminating pixels. LG are some of the top dogs when it comes to OLED, as you’ll no doubt have seen with its TVs, like the LG C4 for instance (many of which are used for gaming monitors nowadays). Self illuminating pixels means that they can ‘turn off’ and appear completely black. The alternative to this with a more traditional monitor would be a slightly grey pixel, which visually reduces the contrast of the image. OLED is the way to go for those who want graphics to look more lifelike and atmospheric. It’s not the way to go if you’re playing in a well-lit room, as they’re typically not as bright.
Display HDR True Black 400 can be a little tricky to get your head around, so I’ll give you the simple explanation if you’re not familiar. There are different levels of HDR and how high the number is can typically give you an idea of how bright the monitor can go (either all over or in one small section mind you), and how vivid the colors are. 400 is one of the lowest, but it’s still very good. Expect a wide color gamut, bright whites, and deep blacks. Personally, I think a monitor originally priced at over $1200 should have a higher level of Display HDR, but then again this is an OLED display, so I’ll forgive it in this case.
Who should go for this?
Personally, I think this is the type of monitor that would suit people with more of ‘mid-range’ gaming PC, who enjoys playing cinematic story driven titles, racing games, or games which can benefit from the extra screen real-estate.
It’s also a great option for someone using it for work, especially those who edit video or work in Excel.
When it comes to the price, after some snooping around online using price comparison tools, I can see that this has been hovering around this price for a while now, at least on Amazon. There may be a chance it dips a little lower on Prime Big Deal Days, but I wouldn’t expect it to go that much lower than it already is. While this is a great monitor in many ways, I think it’s more of a $900 display rather than a $1200+, so in that sense you’re still getting some great bang for your buck.
