Our take on the LG UltraGear 34 WQHD 240Hz 1ms FreeSync Gaming Monitor
This is a 34-inch ultrawide gaming monitor with a 3440x1440 IPS panel, a 240Hz refresh rate and a 1ms response time. The combination is rare: most 34-inch ultrawides top out at 144Hz or 165Hz, and most 240Hz screens are smaller and less wide. It suits competitive players who also want immersive widescreen games and room for multitasking, and it carries the usual IPS trade-offs of modest contrast and some backlight bleed.
- 240Hz refresh with 1ms response for fast, clear motion
- 3440x1440 IPS panel gives sharp detail and wide viewing angles
- 21:9 aspect ratio adds side vision in games and desktop space
- FreeSync plus HDR support and USB-C connectivity
- VESA mountable for arm or wall setups
What reviewers say
Owners of LG UltraGear ultrawides generally praise the smooth high-refresh motion and the immersive 21:9 picture, and reviewers rate the IPS color and viewing angles well. Common complaints are IPS glow and backlight bleed in dark scenes, plus the graphics power needed to hit high frame rates at this resolution.
- Motion smoothnessPraisedOwners say high refresh rates make fast games feel fluid and clear.
- Picture qualityPraisedReviewers like the sharp resolution, colors and wide viewing angles of the IPS panel.
- Backlight bleedCriticisedBuyers report glow and light leakage at the edges in dark scenes.
Questions and answers
- Is 240Hz worth it over a 144Hz ultrawide?
- Yes if you play fast shooters and have a GPU that can push high frame rates. The jump from 144Hz is noticeable but smaller than from 60Hz to 144Hz.
- Does it work well for work and coding?
- The 21:9 space fits several windows side by side, and the IPS panel keeps text sharp. The aggressive curve and size take some adjustment for spreadsheets and documents.
- Do I need an AMD card for FreeSync?
- No. FreeSync works with most modern AMD cards, and many Nvidia cards also run variable refresh over DisplayPort, though check compatibility before buying.
- How does it compare with OLED ultrawides?
- OLED rivals beat it on contrast and black levels, but this IPS panel avoids burn-in risk and typically holds brightness better for bright rooms and static work.
- Can it be mounted on an arm?
- Yes, it supports VESA mounting, which is useful given the desk depth a 34-inch curved screen needs.
- What should I check about my GPU before buying?
- Confirm it can drive 3440x1440 at high frame rates over DisplayPort, since HDMI may cap the refresh rate.
