Are Widescreen Monitors Good For Gaming

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is not only my first LG monitor but also the largest monitor I have owned as well as my first, widescreen. I absolutely cannot believe that I can do what was taking me two separate monitors on just this one monitor. This was the main point, or desire, in my wanting to own a widescreen monitor was to be able to condense and not have to use multiple monitors. So this also means using less electricity as well. I did not know until after the fact that it has built-in speakers. The sound quality is excellent and does not distort at higher volumes. I was using a wireless Bluetooth speaker but I have switched over to using LG's internal speaker on this monitor which also uses this technology called Waves MaxxAudio. The clarity for someone with less than 20/20 vision is impeccable. There are many settings options such as Custom, Cinema, Vivid, HDR Effect, FPS, RTS, and a reader mode (that has that sort of tablet sepia color to it). I will generally use the Custom feature. I like the Super Resolution+ and Black Level settings as it makes the text stand out better. Under Settings, Picture, Color Adjust, there is a Gamma feature with four separate modes. Choosing Mode 3 enhances text clarity even further and is what I am currently using. Other features include the ability to tilt the monitor forward and back. It does not have an option to raise the height of the monitor and if I had to list any cons that are literally the only one I can think of. On the rear of the monitor where the ports are there is a USB-C port which could be used to charge any devices that use a USB-C charge cable. This is definitely a monitor I would recommend for anyone to use and I mean that especially if you are working from home or for any businesses seeking to upgrade their current monitors for their employees. This is such a major space saver being able to use this one monitor and it looks so much cleaner as well.

I use this monitor mount to hold two 23.6 widescreen LCD monitors, one in landscape orientation and the other in portrait orientation. The mount has been working very well for me. It was easy to set up right out of the box; just attach a few parts and you're up and running in no time. Really sturdy, too. Very happy with this purchase!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this monitor for just under a month now. I have been very happy with it. It helps a lot with these widescreen monitors to have Windows 11 for easier window sizing of various software. You can click the window and drag it to the top and then pick which size you want the window to be. I have tried 2 windows side by side. This is typically my gaming set up. I have also tried quadrant windows, so 4 windows total and that's not too bad either. The flatness isn't that much of an issue to me. The fact that it was much cheaper than the curved monitors that are similar in size was the selling point for me. I know curved monitors are all the rage right now, but this one works fine for me for what I do. I am typically playing FFXI (I know I'm old :D) 2 Windows side by side, and then of course normal web surfing etc. I also use SolidWorks with this computer and monitor and that has worked really well with the widescreen. The resolution on this one is 3440 x 1440. It's nice because not everything is ready for 4k and this is a slight upgrade from my 2k monitors that I had before. I would definitely recommend this monitor.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this 34" Ultra Widescreen Gaming Monitor a few weeks ago and thoroughly enjoy it!!! The picture is beautiful, bright and responsive for any activity I use if for!!!

I bought these Monitors which they've been working pretty good so far. They fit just perfect on my gaming desk and it's very convenient. Having two monitor is the best way to do a lot of productivity and make things so easier and comfortable. I highly recommend this to my friends and family.

I made a pretty big research on gaming monitors. Was trying to get something good for cheap and guess what?!?! I got it. Very happy with the product and even after one month of purchase I didn't see anything better or cheaper for the price i got.

I need a smaller TV for my gaming and it’s better than the monitor I have which is not a Samsung, Samsung is always the best when it comes to TVs or monitors this one is pretty good. It is an older model, but it’s still pretty good.

So far so good! I was looking for a clean monitor that could be a great fit for my macbook and also handle gaming on my PS5 and gaming laptop. It can do it all. Picture is super clear and the perfect size. Im also not into the curved monitors so this was a great fit. I was able to retire my two 27 monitors and use just this one, also cleaning up desk space! I use it with the Ergotron LX arm and love it!

We have bought tow of these monitors. For our use which does not include gaming they are perfect for our use.
