TLDR: If you’re looking for a “budget” ultrawide with majority of the features of what’s on the market. Look no further.
I’ve been looking for an ultrawide monitor for a few years now. Always reading and watching reviews of a whole bunch of them, knowing every little detail for each ultrawide monitor out there. I had my eyes on this one for a while and just decided to get the wait over with and order it.
I ordered this monitor on October 11th with it arriving a few days later. I took a risk and decided to order a used monitor from the Amazon Warehouse deals with a listing that was described as “Condition: Used – Very Good – Item will come repackaged.” Now this did worry me a bit as the monitor could have arrived with no accessories, missing items, or even worse dead pixels. Which would result in me having to deal with returning it.
Luckily the monitor arrived with almost everything that it should have. The packaging was amazing with it being in 2 standard brown boxes and even came in the original box. It was missing some cables and had scratches which weren’t mentioned in the listing. But after talking with customer support the issue got resolved.
This is the same panel as my 27GL850 so I already knew it was going to be great. I highly recommend getting a monitor arm for this as the included stand is very bulky and takes up a lot of desk space. Simple to use button and the menu is easy to navigate. Colors looks great and watching a movie or video that’s made for this aspect ratio is a thing of beauty.

Perfect curved gaming monitor. Good price for the resolution and quality. The movable stand is so convenient. I hook up my ps5 Nintendo switch and Alienware and play tons of games and have to say the graphics are awesome.

TLDR: Good monitor for gaming and hobby photo editing. Poor HDR performance.
It is fairly colour accurate, I use this monitor both for gaming and for photo editing (I am an amatuer/ hobbyist, this monitor is not cut out for professional work).
It has a good refresh rate, 144hz overclockable to 160hz. And is a good size for its resolution of 3440x1440p, there is no screen door and the AA does not need to be cranked up for it to look smooth.
My only complaints is the HDMI inputs are only capable of 3440x1440p at 85 Hz and there is no Picture in Picture or Picture by Picture modes.
Additionally, this is a 400 nit display, with HDR400 and a single dimming zone. The HDR performance on this display is poor, and using it in sRGB mode with 100% brightness is a better experience.

I bought an LG 34GP83A-B. It works as advertised (with the exception of the setup).
I had a Dell 34″ UltraSharp wide-screen monitor that has been great for 5+ years. I needed a second wide-screen monitor. I chose this one based on the great price at the time I bought it and based on feedback from friends using the same brand.
Pros: The picture quality is at least as good as the Dell I had, if not better. Very pleased with the picture quality. The monitor performance is great. I don’t use demanding gaming apps that would require me to take advantage of the overclocking to 160Hz. 144Hz is sufficient for me. I have not tried to use the screen splitting option yet since I have my own pre-existing app that manages it for me. I’ll follow up later and update this post after I use the split-screen option from LG.
Pro/Con… The pro is it has cable management. It is on the back of the monitor stand if you want to use it. The con is it is too small and weak to support all the cables. I didn’t use it for my setup.
Setup: I had it as a con, but changed it since the main issue was not the fault of the monitor or LG. The biggest aggravation was the setup. I have two monitors connected to this PC. A 27″ BenQ and this one (LG). When I first connected it, both monitors showed as separate monitors. The resolution on the LG defaulted to 1920×1080. I updated my drivers and rebooted. No change. This time my system literally saw both monitors as 1 monitor. Weird. I downloaded the latest driver for my Windows version from the LG website (34GP83A-B.AUS). Attempted to install it and received an error this was not an LG driver. Downloaded again to see if perhaps it was a file issue. Same error. Upgraded my graphics card driver (Nvidia GeForce 3090), rebooted, and the monitor worked. A PCI-to-PCI driver upgrade appeared to fix the issue. However, LG needs to fix its driver or provide a different one.
An additional minor issue for me is the monitor stand. The base “feet” are a little flimsy and stretch out in front of the monitor in a “V” shape. Takes up to much desktop space. I am able to work around it, but would advise others to keep this in mind when planning your desk layout.
Received a response: “The LG 34″ UltraGear Curved WQHD Nano IPS 1ms 144HZ HDR 400 Monitor with G-SYNC Compatibility, Model # 34GP83A-B is a Plug and Play Monitor. Plug and Play is a feature that allows you to add a device to your computer without having to reconfigure anything or install any manual drivers…^Ivan” — The comment is true. If my PCI-to-PCI adapter was already current, then the monitor would have worked as a plug-and-play. At the time, I didn’t know this was the issue initially and struggled with the LG driver for this monitor. My recommendation is still to resolve the LG drive incompatibility issue.

Additional comments after some time using the monitor.
Input Selection: I saw some complaints about the button-style controller that allows you to change monitor settings, including the input source. It did take a minute to get used to it, but it works fine for me, and have no issues with it.
Work laptop: I use the DP cable for my personal PC and the HDMI with my work laptop. My work laptop (HP ZBook) has a port replicator that only uses DP connections. I use an HDMI hub to plug all my HDMI connections from my monitors with a DP connection back into the port replicator. This did not work with the LG monitor. Received the same odd errors I had above with my PC and, if I reboot, none of the screens (including the laptop would work). I bought a DP to HDMI converter, bypassed my HDMI hub, and plugged my LG monitor HDMI connection directly into the port replicator using the DP to HDMI converter. Everything works as normal now. The only minor issue is when my laptop goes to sleep and I wake it up, I have a 50/50 chance of the LG monitor not coming on. I disconnect the port replicator from my laptop and plug it back in. LG monitor wakes up. It’s a minor workaround. This does seem to coincide with other comments about sleep issues with the monitor. I hope this helps others who are trying to use this for work.
I’m using Nvidia RTX Desktop Manager to configure split screens on my LG monitor without any issues.
I plan on using this for a few months and then will update my post later. So far the monitor has been great!

I got this item for school for Cybersecurity, I can already tell, it’s going to be 100% Awesome.
It came super early, compared to the anticipated delivery date and the overall quality is excellent!
The only thing is, it’s not perfect resolution, nor sound quality. But depending on what you’re using it for, it’s definitely good for not wanting to spend 1,000 on a monitor! If you’re going for something like graphic arts/design, you may want to steer away from the monitor, but overall, it’s a great monitor! I’m very pleased with this purchase.
Would highly recommend this to anyone. Easy set up, I was able to do it myself!

What a leap for me with this monitor. I had a perfectly good 27″ monitor (ASUS ROG PB278Q), so I wasn’t expecting to see much of a difference with this upgrade, but I was wrong. I was seriously looking at OLED and mini-LED, but the technology isn’t quite there yet to justify the cost, especially as a multi-purpose monitor. I heavily researched monitors before pulling the trigger on this one and it was easily the best bang for my buck. There is an ongoing debate about 34″ 1440p vs. 32″ 4k, but I’ll never go back to 16:9 and 4k seems excessive in my opinion.
Ultra-wide is better than I expected, not only for immersion in games, but also productivity. I have limited space on my desk at home for two monitors and even if I did, it would be awkward for gaming. This monitor solves that problem and the unconventional 21:9 resolution works in most situations perfectly. The curve is subtle, but needed at this size (if you’re considering a flat panel like the Gigabyte ones). As far as picture quality goes, I read that the blacks look grey and the HDR is terrible, but it looks amazing to me. Even HDR400 makes a huge difference by making the colours look more natural and less harsh on the eyes. Another concern from my research was quality control for this version compared to the unnecessarily more expensive 34GN850-B. Many people complained about dead pixels and having to return countless monitors to Amazon. Maybe I won the “panel lottery” as people describe it, but I meticulously scanned the monitor for imperfections and I haven’t seen any issues other than IPS glow, which is a known drawback of this panel type in general. One minor gripe would be monitor wobble while typing. I’m sure this could easily be fixed with a VESA arm attachment instead of the pedestal that comes with it. Other than that, this monitor more than meets my expectations.
I don’t want to have to change my whole lifestyle and live in dark mode to accommodate the inevitable burn-in that OLED panels are prone to, and local dimming with mini-LED panels seems far too rudimentary for the exorbitant cost. This monitor hits the sweet spot and I’m sure it will serve me well for years to come.

Everyone who is a GAMER must own this monitor. It is by far the best and most superior monitor ever and for this price it’s a complete steal!!! I highly recommend this for anyone who is looking to buy one. GET THIS!!

I used to run with a 3 monitor configuration for a while, 2 horizontal 1 vertical. But this has changed my work / play life. Ample space, Crisp Images, Sexy as hell on my desk. It’s big af make sure you have a large desk. Easy Easy to built. Make sure your video card supports the resolution and hz. LG for sure kicked ass with this one. If you dont have the cash get in debt, it will be the best investment ever. Perfect for designers, coders, gamers.

Picture is a huge upgrade over 1920 /1080p , ultra wide 34inch is huge for pc gaming, no dead pixels! For $300 this is a must buy!

I was very sceptical about buying this monitor for many reasons, main one being the lack of reviews not just here, but all over the internet. it seemed as though LG wanted to keep this monitor under wraps…. but wow let me tell you i am truly impressed with this monitor. right out of the box the colours didn’t need much tuning at all. My eyes may not be trained to nicer monitors, coming from a 1080 165 hz monitor, but from what the reviews i watched said, i was expecting it to be on the dimmer side at 300 nits, but its more than i could ever need. HDR is fine nothing to rave about, and a mild amount of ghosting. ive tested it on a few titles such as fortnite, call of duty, and spider man for the full ultrawide experience and i cant say i was dissatisfied at all with the colors or anything major. I got this on sale for 300 and i couldn’t be happier with the purchase. For anyone whose sceptical about buying it, just do it you will be happy especially if you’re coming from a 1080p monitor or below. its only day one for me, so this is a disclaimer. I will report back a few months from now to see if everything stays as great as it is. thanks for coming to my ted talk

I got this monitor for sale 25% and I instantly bought it. Soo far the monitor doesnt have dead pixels 🙂 WOOO. I got lucky on the shipping.
Pros:
Colors are vibrant and pop off
Fast response times
Cons:
HDR is too dark lol
The stand takes lots of space and gotta consider bigger desk for it
