Hey all, I was thinking of going for a new monitor and at first I was considering the Samsung G8. Even though I still think this is a beautiful screen, I don’t think it will work for me as I want to use the screen for work 8+ hours on workdays, with mostly code in IDEs and chrome tabs on screen. I don’t want to risk burn-ins and I also don’t want to have the anxiety of getting burn-ins with the way I use it. Outside of work I’ll mostly use if for content consumption (YouTube, Twitch, games, etc.). I think the most interesting part for me is the UW aspect of things.

I’m looking for a screen that is 1440p UW, about 34 inches, have some HDR capability, is G-Sync Compatible (not necessarily Ultimate) and has decent refresh rate (120Hz or more, I guess?) and the price to be somewhere under €1000.

I was looking at the LG UltraGear 34GN850P-B, which seems to be about €700 now and the reviews are quite good on it. Does anyone have experience with this monitor? Are there any other good options? I couldn’t find that many fast, as most newer IPS screens seem to focus on 4k res or something similar. Thanks in advance!
