Great screen, Good design, Impressive colours, AMD Freesync, Ergonomic adjustments
1440p would have been great
After using the monitor for a few weeks I had fallen in love with it. I had also completely forgotten that the monitor is 1080p and not the 1440p that I thought it would be. I really found it difficult to pull myself away from.Gaming on this monitor was e...

The amount of UWQHD monitors on the market keeps growing. This is nice, since potential buyers will have more models to choose from. Since our last test the prices have decreased a bit, but there have been quite a few new releases at the top of the mark...
UWQHD-monitors are a valuable addition to the market as alternative for Ultra HD-monitors. Whoever wishes a lot of workspace without the need to scale software should definitely consider this. Concerning the tested monitors: we can safely say that all t...

Expensive, High power consumption, Limited stand adjustments
Coming to market with an RRP of £799.99 ($1,149.99) the LG 34UC97 is a premium purchase for any type of user. For context, the same money would buy consumers a pair of UHD displays, three QHD displays or even nine FHD displays. In that regard the LG 34UC9...
Two Thunderbolt ports, Good responsiveness (13 ms), A comfortable workspace on just one screen, Picture By Picture mode, Open viewing angles
Base offers limited adjustability, Default colorimetry could be improved
While the 34UC97 is an excellent work tool, its curved format isn't really necessary; personally, we'd opt for its flat counterpart, the 34UM95, which is also cheaper. The 34UC97's default colours aren't great, either, which means you'll need your own col...

Sharp, high resolution, Huge diagonal, Slick, effective curved design, Great image quality
More expensive than rivals, Lack of adjustment options, Uniformity is mediocre
The high price is this screen's biggest problem – in other areas, its curved display is attractive for work and play, image quality is high and it's got a huge diagonal size....

There's no doubt about it the LG 34UC97-S is one fine monitor for Gaming, offering immersion to a level that no other monitor can match, there are some issues though and boy is it going to cost you… The LG 34UC97-S came to pcG in a large (unfortunately n...
The £799 LG 34UC97 is a beautiful monitor, with a smart and stylish design. That 3440×1440 pixel curved display isn't Ultra HD-detailed, but it's a damn sight better than 1080p, and it has generally pretty impressive colour and contrast reproduction for a...

A bounty of strengths, but no selling point over the flat version Like the 34UM95 before it, the 34UC97 is a solid display. Its IPS panel is rich with color and its QHD resolution provides ample screen real estate. Additional features, such as LG's Sc...
