LG to Introduce 34-inch IPS 21:9 UltraWide (Model UM95) monitor

Because so far everything points to the monitor still being repaired and next o the notes it shows credit back to customer. If it was just a refund and monitor is sent back then it would have been removed from the RMA area on my account and be marked as inactive but it hasn't and is still marked as in progress.

Just gotta wait to find out.

Mrk?

Are you using these LG screens for Photo-editing?
Do they have Hardware LUT? ( I use an idisplay pro to calibrate)

mrk · 3 Oct 2014 at 22:18

Yes, yes.

Have you not seen the posts in this thread

I noticed you online, felt lazy as got about 4 pages in

Thanks <3

I'm feeling the monitor, and probably gonna trigger tomorrow. The curved version still unsure about it.

If I was gaming more than editing then i'd probably prefer the curved more I guess but I need one on my desk to know for sure. Soon...

I won't be shifting my non curved any time soon though. It's great

Has anyone got theirs on a vesa mount? I'm right in saying mrk has a desk mount arm? I need a wall mount as I have a tempered glass desk and don't fancy taking a chance on it. Desk backs onto a wall anyway so I've no qualms about that option. Any recommendations for these 34's?

I believe Ergotron also do some wall arms too so perhaps check them out. Mine is on an Ergotron MX desk arm though yeah.

Physically, how tall is the LG Flatron 34UM95? Including the stand, that is.

Omar · 6 Oct 2014 at 00:11

Approx 44.5cm including the stand. The screen tilts back a bit though, but I tried to measure it with the screen as upright as possible.

Really fancying a 21:9 screen, shall I get the UM95 or the curved UC97??

Thanks

The curved one looks good although I'm not convinced it's worth the price tag. Personally I'd opt for the regular although it is a personal choice mostly dictated by finances. If the curved was cheaper then I'd definitely consider it. I'm going to wait to see what AOC come up with either way.

Lord Lucifer · 6 Oct 2014 at 15:55

Fair enough mate, I think I've decided to go for the curved screen seeing as I don't expect the need to change it again any time soon. Just awaiting OC stock!

Matson · 6 Oct 2014 at 16:29

You cant go wrong with either. It really is a beautiful screen and the picture quality is amazing. I don't miss my 144hz screen at all.

So my goodies arrived this weekend and I have (phone) pics if anyone is interested...

Manged to get the cards in ok and set up the monitor without any issues. This is it next to the 27" Dell monitor -Been playing Destiny for 3 weeks so I've gone a bit Bungie mad hence the wallpaper

I don't really know much about the difference between backlight bleed and IPS glow apart from the fact that IPS glow moves when you look away from it. That being the case, I think i have a tiny about of back light bleed on the lower right hand corner (about an inch). I have to look for it to see it though. I don't know how to take an accurate picture using my Nexus 5 phone because the attempts I have made make it looks far more worse than it really is.
The picture quality is excellent though.
Anyway I just picked up Alien: Isolation so a couple of (blurred) pics.

Overall I'm very happy with the monitor and it's bigger than I expected (a good thing). My Ergotron MX stand should arrive in Thursday, so I'll be all set. I'm looking forward to many years of gaming with this monitor. For me 21:9 is the only way to game!

mrk · 6 Oct 2014 at 20:07

Nice! Enjoy Isolation, I'll be back on the Nostromo tonight

Lord Lucifer · 6 Oct 2014 at 20:19

Nice! Can't wait to get mine!!

Matson · 7 Oct 2014 at 16:23

Nice one mate. Enjoy it

I love mine. It has an issue but its only a small one and I think I can live with it as I have pretty much no bleed on this one now. Alien Isolation is also amazing on this monitor. Played a few hours last night and ultrawide was ment for gaming.

Would I be completely mad to sell a 2713, 2407 & a 2405 for one of these? (or the curved version)

I think it looks absolutely amazing and 3 monitors on my desk is more effort than its worth.

Nah, not at all. I had a 24" 1080p and 2x20" widescreen monitors in a triple display setup and to be honest didn't find it all that useful for productivity. I kept craning my neck and sitting awkwardly when using the side monitors. I've gone back to a dual display setup using the 24" and one of the 20" monitors. Like you say I found 3 monitors more hassle than it was worth.

I reckon 3 monitors it pretty much unnecessary and that a single large 21:9 monitor would be way better given how well Windows supports split screen mode. I'm planning on buying a 34" 21:9 display later this year once Dell and AOC have released their variants as I'm a bit frustrated at the lack of height adjustment on the LG and think that the competition should bring the price (especially of the non-curved ones) closer to the £500 mark.
