Ultra-wide monitor at a bargain price

The LG 34UC79G is an ultra-wide gaming monitor that does not cost an arm and a leg. Indeed, its $1,099 price tag is a steal compared with $2,099 for the Asus ROG Swift PG348Q, a similar 34-inch curved monitor. More importantly, the LG achieves this price point without compromising on screen quality and features. It uses an in-plane switching (IPS)...

4.0

Can fewer pixels actually add up to more gaming fun? That’s the new LG 34UC79G’s core proposition. At 34 inches and with a 21:9 aspect ratio, you might expect LG’s gaming panel to pack 3,440 x 1,440 pixels. Instead, it rocks a mere 2,560 x 1,080, a resolution we’re more used to seeing on 29-inch […]

L34UC79G-B is a curved 34in widescreen unit that supports FreeSync at 144Hz, so we were surprised that it costs, seriously undercutting many other curved panels on the market. The biggest reason for the affordable price is the 2,560 x 1,080 resolution. Conclusion SPECIFICATIONS VERDICT That’s lower than many other large, curved screens and it means […]

34" curved ultra-wide gaming monitors are usually an expensive proposition. But if you’re willing to accept a little less resolution, LG has a 144Hz FreeSync model that is worth considering. Today we’re looking at the 34UC79G.
