This 34″ LG Curved IPS Monitor Is 50% Off Right Now
Most IPS monitors are flat and designed for everyday business use, while curved monitors are mainly designed for gaming. But the LG Curved UltraWide IPS 34-inch monitor is neither of those things. It’s a strange but interesting hybrid monitor, and right now you can get it for $249.99 after a 50 percent discount on LG’s website. The monitor was last sold at this price in December .
This LG monitor came out in 2022, and like I said, it’s an odd duck. The purpose of curved monitors is to give you an immersive feeling. If you place it correctly, your peripheral vision will be covered by the screen and you will feel like you are in the action. This is great for gaming or watching media.
However, with a refresh rate of only 60Hz, this monitor is not a great gaming monitor. What it does offer is IPS (in-plane switching), which results in better viewing angles, which is great for color accuracy and consistency. People who do creative work, such as graphic designers, professional photographers, or video editors, can work better with IPS monitors. The 5ms response time means that unless you’re a professional gamer, you won’t notice any drawbacks to how long it takes to switch colors from one to another. UltraWide resolution is 3440 x 1440, 2K to 4K.
