i see blb from at least 3 corners on that ultrawide
its amazing how much this panel costs yet still they cant solve the blb issue on IPS.. though i will admit it does not look at all bad in comparison to others.

Just a note that you can’t even see the left hand corners of the LG on most of those pictures. Only the bottom one.. in real life I see hardly any blb at the corners and far far less than something like the Alienware. Mark it up with MS paint and I can help explain what you are seeing

@katscan can you make an image side by side with a few circles of colors and full white background?? i am very curious if this will affect too much colors for example in productivity, i want this monitor but i need to have accurate colors for graphic design too.

Thanks

Showing side by side comparisons like this offers very little value because there are so many variables that can impact perceptible results. What we know to be be true is that the monitor exceeds sRGB gamut by 30% therefore it's not suitable for sRGB production work without using a LUT to limit gamut. We also know that it's quite inaccurate OOB even when measured as Native gamut(see http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/lg_34gk950g.htm#colour - anything above 2.3 deltaE is considered visible with some colors having perceptible inaccuracies even below 2.3 dE).

Also keep in mind that both of the monitors in the images have been calibrated/profiled.
 
Just spoke to OC over phone and they said "we haven't received anything yet" T_T , I guess we have to just wait, pre-ordered 06 of November ....
 
Katscan I think by far the most useful thing would be some real pictures, like I said before people or trees etc etc. Not the oversaturated wallpaper type images but just normal photos etc. This would give the best idea of the colours, yes yes I know it is not 100% accurate etc etc. but it would be better than nothing. Especially as you have it next to a normal SRGB monitor and are willing to take pictures that is very useful! Thanks again for the effort BTW!

While I agree with most of your post, I completely disagree with there being little value in side by side, cloned, comparison posts. If we were talking about photos of a single monitor taken at different points in time, then your reasoning would be valid. However, when the picture taken includes both screens cloned, side by side, the discussion becomes different. Especially when calibrated to the same white point, etc. It would be correct to suggest that looking at any given color is subjective, but the relative appearance is what is important in this instance. Any image modifications by the camera should/will affect both images, except for the variable of viewing angle which won’t cause that much variablility in an IPS display.

The specific question I am trying to address is if gaming in wide gamut is as much of a disaster as some people imply. I would suggest, from the images posted, that the relative differences are real but subtle and the some statements out there on the internet are grossly over-exaggerated. So if you are currently running 100% sRGB, the relative differences of moving to wide gamut are small.

As far as posting some photos, yes that is on my to-do list. Again, not for the absolute color rendition, but for the relative color rendition.

Anyway, if you are doing color important work, you should probably be using color managed applications anyway. But I will post how “regular” internet content might look
 
Also another thing you could also do it with / without an ICC profile (completely up to you if you can be bothered to do that!), but a possible solution with the LG would be using an ICC profile for desktop and just leaving it full gamut for anything else, because ICC profiles are a nightmare for anything other than desktop use.

Lolol ;) I know, right? Who would have thought :)

But seriously, there was enough to make me question just how bad gaming on wide color gamut monitors was. And made me slightly nervous about getting it. Bunch of hogwash in the end.
