Monitor LG UltraWide 34WL500

Ultra-wide gaming monitor with a large 34-inch screen, support for high dynamic range (HDR10) images and a glossy anti-glare coating. Among the features of this model, it is worth highlighting a resolution of 2560x1080, an aspect ratio of 21:9 and full support for AMD FreeSync technology, which eliminates screen tearing typical of LCD monitors. The manufacturer is positioned as a universal monitor for performant gaming PCs.

In addition to gaming systems, it is extremely convenient for parallel work with documents / graphics in several simultaneously open neighboring windows. The large screen width (800 mm) will also be useful when processing audio / video content. The design of the LG 34WL500 monitor is based on a full-fledged eight-bit AH-IPS matrix with economical W-LED backlighting, devoid of high-frequency flickering (Flicker-Free).

A rather large pixel (0.312 mm) allows you to maximize the distance from the screen to the eyes, which has a positive effect on the level of tension in the muscles of the lens and reduces visual fatigue. In addition, a large pixel is great for users with farsightedness. Support for AMD FreeSync synchronization technologies, combined with a relatively fast response time of the matrix (5 ms GtG), guarantees good clarity in the display of dynamic scenes of computer games and the absence of noticeable blurring.

Considering the cost of widescreens - an ideal choice

I've never had so much fun with a monitor. I took 29", I don't need more, it's convenient to open two windows, it's convenient to play, although not all games support this resolution

- IPS matrix;
- 75Hz and Freesync;
- different color presets, energy efficient mode;
- easy assembly, hard plastic, legs like metal, but strong

Until I discovered

For this money, take either this one or LG 27GL650F (FullHD 144hz, HDR, DisplayPort).

I chose between FullHD 144hz and 2560x1080 75hz, I decided that in AAA games there is no higher than 75hz, plus there will be a wide view.
For owners: in HDMI Compatibility Mode, HDR cannot be enabled and 12bit can only be enabled at 50hz, with Compatibility Mode off at 60hz, 12bit can be enabled. To watch HDR movies, you need to download the latest version of VLC player and enable HDR in Windows.

The monitor as a whole is three heads taller than old monitors, from the pros: HDR, color reproduction, contrast, clarity, flexible settings for everything possible, the eyes really get tired much less because of Flicker-Free.
21:9 is just a buzz in all games from COD to Dota 2 (game performance is 30% less than at FullHD).
HDR 400 turned out to be a much bigger plus than I thought, in many games the colors and shadows are completely changed for the better.
1080p movies will be cut or stretched, but you can download 4k movies and resize to 2k.

The only downside is the lack of DisplayPort.
