LG BR 34BR65F-B 34" Black 2024

A 34-inch ultrawide with a 1080p soul. Big screen, soft pixels, and a price that swings way too high.

The performance numbers are rough. This thing lands in the 21st percentile for performance, which puts it near the bottom of our database. The 2560 x 1080 resolution on a 34-inch panel gives you a pixel density around 82 PPI, so text looks soft and you'll see individual pixels if you sit close. Color performance is also weak at the 33rd percentile, so don't expect much from the HDR label. It's fine for basic office work and spreadsheets, but anything involving photo editing or detailed visuals will feel like a compromise.

Stacked against the competition, this LG gets embarrassed. The ASUS ROG Strix XG27UCDMG and Samsung Odyssey G60SD are 1440p-class displays with far better color and performance, though they're 27-inch 16:9 panels so you lose the ultrawide width. The MSI MPG 271QR QD-OLED X50 and Gigabyte M Series OLED MO27U2 SA are in a completely different league for image quality. If you want ultrawide specifically, you're better off saving for a 3440 x 1440 panel. This LG only wins if your budget is tight and you absolutely need 34 inches of width right now.

Pricing is all over the place. We're seeing USD 380 to USD 716 across two US listings, which is a massive USD 336 spread. At USD 380, this might be a justifiable budget ultrawide for basic office use. At USD 716, you're getting robbed. If you're shopping this one, hunt for the lower end of that range and don't pay a cent more. Even then, a 1440p ultrawide from a competitor would be a smarter long-term buy.

The LG 34BR65F-B is a 34-inch ultrawide that sounds great on paper until you look at the resolution. 2560 x 1080 stretched across 34 inches means big pixels and not much vertical room. It's an IPS panel, so colors and viewing angles are fine, but this is a budget ultrawide for people who want screen width on the cheap, not a serious productivity or gaming display. The one thing to know? You're trading resolution for size, and that trade hurts more than you'd think.

If you care about sharp text, color accuracy, or gaming performance, this isn't your monitor. Go grab a 3440 x 1440 ultrawide or a solid 27-inch 1440p panel instead. Your eyes will thank you.

Skip it unless you find it at the very bottom of that price range and only need a basic office ultrawide. The low resolution and weak performance make this a tough sell even at USD 380. There are better ways to spend your money, even if it means waiting a bit longer or going with a smaller high-res panel.
