And most modern VA's can also hit around 85-90% DCI-P3 coverage, so they aren't far behind IPS monitors in that regard either. At a 920:1 ratio, it was also higher than our 27GL850 unit, actually 20% higher which is substantial.

The 34GP950G is a native G-SYNC monitor, whereas the 34GN850-B supports FreeSync, so if you want to get the most out of your graphics card, it might be better to get the one that matches your card.

The LG 34GN850 and its UW-QHD screen are great for productivity since you get a massive upgrade in display space.

Connect one end of the cable to the USB port on the monitor and the other end to a USB port on your PC.If you're after an ultrawide that delivers an elite combination of speed and visual quality, with the possibility to double as a creative or productivity monitor, there is no better choice than the 34GN850. The backlight is the clear limitation in this regard since many of the HDR 1000 IPS monitors we tested showed brilliant contrast ratios. The LG has an IPS panel with wide viewing angles, while the Samsung has a VA panel with a higher contrast ratio.
