be my first proper widescreen experience for the desktop as I go ahead and use the 34 inch LG monitor as my daily driver for two weeks and explore with the curve and this white screen 21 by 9 IPS monitor can deliver the exact model this panel is 34 you see 87 see priced over $1000 USD so you are looking at the premium investment one that is unique in so many ways and let's just hope that we don't stumble upon too many drawbacks so first thing is this is a 34 inch curved ultra wide form factor with a resolution of 34 40 by 1440 at 60 Hertz it is a bit of an odd resolution and one that takes some time getting used to but imagine a typical 2560 by 1440 P panel with 34% more wide pixels it is a beautiful 10 bit IPS panel that LG calibrates at the factory for correct out of the box colors and as an editor that's highly appreciated now before switching over to the LG panel this is sort of what I was used to dual 27-inch set up both 1440p panels this way I can comfortably work on multiple applications plus they are 144 Hertz G Singh displays for that incredible smoothness so when I started using the LG monitor the 60 Hertz hit me hard with a long adjustment period and this is where 75 Hertz g-sync or even free sync would complement the panel nicely to future-proof this monitor and expand the usability into gaming which by the way at this resolution delivers fantastic and the unique experience the physical characteristics of a monitor are satisfactory with a tiny bezel and edge to edge glass design with a larger chin at the bottom and let these smaller bezels all around to make this LG panel standout with elegant and slim body for the i/o at the back we have a power in headphone jack dual HDMI and a single DisplayPort plus a USB 3.0 hub with incredibly difficult to reach ports for the stand there isn't any kind of cable management cables are just routed behind and while it offers the basics with plenty of height adjustment and some angle the LG stand lacks rotation and pivot which could have been really handy and multi-monitor configuration and also allow me to strengthen the monitor as our sample was just tiny bit off angle that once you notice it's kind of very hard to avoid although I love the low-profile and open design for the stand base that allows me to put some important items important in quotations in the center for perceived organization one of the weakest points on this monitor is the on-screen display and the uncomfortable joystick to navigate through the OSD the layout for $1000 monitor is just disappointing that requires digging around to find that needed functions that are all buried behind flawed navigation but the three axis color adjustment along with six axis adjustments are available which luckily will not require your immediate attention things to factory calibration now the panel curve itself will be a love it or a hated type of feature as nothing on screen this straight while I was enjoying the extra real estate for my timeline in premiere the curvature of all the horizontal lines on-screen made the error inside of me unhappy as you can see the bowtie effect very evidently and I ended up moving the preview window closer to the center to reduce the bending lines for that footage it's weird but I never thought that I would dislike the curve for editing and also viewing angles suffer when looking at the monitor at an angle so for optimal brightness and color uniformity you better sit directly in front and view head-on and also here's the panel uniformity chart with the top-left corner being significantly darker than the rest of the screen and for the price that's just disappointing however would this monitor does best is multitasking having two applications side by side for a comfortable work environment plus anything that takes advantage of the wide screen real estate this is a dream monitor for Excel work amazing and visually outstanding for gaming as well as the screen curvature is subtle but adds an awesome layer of emerge as the edges sort of wrap around you for media consumption that is natively 21 by 9 it is outstanding experience one that makes me want to find more 21 by 9 content to enjoy in this full-screen aspect of playback however the majority of content is still in the 16 by 9 one of these black bars on the side it's fine to enjoy a youtube video but you wish that there was more content produced in this 21.9 aspect for the consumer if you think that you will love the panel quality and resolution of the LG 34 you see 87 C then you are 100% correct this is a multitasking single panel dream one that does not favor two creators that work with Photoshop or modeling software because the lines are just not straight if only LG made this a g-sync or a3 sync monitor then it would have been a little more future proof for gaming purposes as you need really powerful GPUs to drive the games at this resolution for smooth frame rate and in conclusion the LG 34 UC 87 C will definitely put pressure on the more conventional 16 by 9 monitors unfortunately the lg monitor is not your all-around versatile monitor because it is expensive content is just not ready for the 21 by 9 aspect ratio and also there's more to be desired with the stand however if you are ready to experience the curve and all the benefits that carry over with it then there's no doubt you'll definitely love what you see and this concludes this review now if you've been considering to get the curve desktop monitor has your stance changed based on our review and
