LG's striking red and black gaming monitor certainly looks the part that's relatively unusual for a company that doesn't have a dedicated gaming brand with fast well performing IPS panel high refresh rate she synched and a roomie slightly curved screen it's a nice package for many types of games the resolutions a sore spot though 2560 by 1080 is low for a display this size you can always scale a high-resolution monitor back for faster gameplay but you can't make a low resolution monitor magically add more pixels and for work on a white background the pixel grid is pretty obvious the stands well-designed connectors are easily accessible in the back and there's a snap in piece for cable management or hanging your headset on you can also raise and lower it sufficiently to accommodate most people and tilt it back about 20 degrees like a lot of monitors the 34 you see 89 G uses a single joystick control for its settings and menu navigation LG's is particularly nice located right in the middle of the bottom under the logo so you don't have to grope for it it's easy to maneuver and the on-screen menu display defaults to the bottom middle rather than stretched across the bottom or on the side LG doesn't offer any particularly novel features but it includes all the basics at least for gaming black stabilizer is LG's name for it setting to change the gamma and shadows for games where enemies lurked in dark corners under low in medium settings the effect is pretty subtle but it's quite noticeable on high it can display a crosshair or dot in the center which helps quickly orient a target in your sights but you can't tie them to profiles and they're always globally on or off
