I'm interested in seeing them as well. S2KIP, can you post before/after pictures of your monitor? Mine came back worse than when it left. Tried calling LG on Friday but they were closed, so I'll have to do this song and dance again on Tuesday.
Forget 34UM95, here's 34UC97! (CURVED 34")

Well I had 4 and all quite bad bleed so that's 4 monitors 100% bad bleed lol not really a good percentage. Im sure theres good ones out there too but for the price I wasn't willing to put up with that at all.

That don't sound good if all 4 were the same. I guess they must all be pretty much the same then.
Just seen this. If I remember I'll have a dig through my emails for the before pics (deleted from my phone).

Personally I would not bother risking it. Seen to many problems with this LG panel.
As for curved I have tried the Samsung 34" wide screen it was not too bad when gaming but for desktop use, films etc the distortion drove me nuts! lol
I still much prefer a flat screen after trying the widescreen, nice straight undistorted lines! I think the curve is just a gimmick, even more so for TV's. For gaming it was OK but nothing groundbreaking. I'm personally waiting for the Samsung U32E850R 4k 32". That will give a better experience all round for me, work and pleasure. I did briefly try the LG 31MU97 31" True 4K so I've had a taste of 4k and much prefer it over superwide. Shame the LG had half the panel with a yellow cast (common issue) otherwise I would have kept it.
But this is just my opinion so take it how you want.
hmm....Thanks for your opinion though 
What I don't want to be doing is purchasing a monitor which I think it going to be great and turns out to be pants and not what I expected. Shipping a monitor back is a total pain in the bum, I did it with my old 29" superwide screen.
I think I'll sick with my 1440p 27" for now then but the 32" 1440p does look nice...I may just end up with a new GPU

I must be stupid to even consider one of these monitors 
Surely they cant all be bad..
Im really worried about the back light bleeding

People should be picky at this price point. there should be absolute minimal bleed in any corner, any obvious bleed is a failure at QC and it should be returned and swapped immediately. It's not a cheap monitor where QC can be forgiven.

I've had 7 LG monitors in the past 3 years and I've yet to have a problem with any of them, I was considering paying the £100 extra for the 34UC97 over the 'equivalent' Dell, but this thread has put me off entirely.
I'd like to see some positive posts about the monitor, because otherwise a lot is left to be desired.
