there is a manufacturing defect on some of them where the bottom few rows of pixels curve inward, so you can only see the bottom row straight on. This is an issue on Windows 10

this review makes me feel even better and very happy I got it at that price point

It’s a good value for $400 but smearing is quite annoying when you’re in a fast paced game.

Reddit— neutral

Only thing is, when hdr is enabled, everything seems washed out compared to my asus 34' (vg34vql1b) but it doesn't have that weird ghosting that asus has on dark scenes when OD is enabled.

A steal for my budget.

Si hablas del LG 34GP63A , no lo hagas. Actualmente estoy en el proceso de devolverlo, es insoportable el ghosting que tiene, nunca vi algo así, los materiales también se sienten de muy baja calidad.

My LG UltraGear 34GP63A-B ultrawide does not have a really good HDR10 implementation even though in everything else it is really good, so I never use HDR.

I bought the 34GP63A-B and the Black smearing is absurd.. I'm returning my monitor to buy this one.

This monitor is under 300 at that plate price point it's a steal

The LG ultragear qhd 34" 34gp63a-b. Absolutely love it, have zero complaints about it

HUGE Ghosting: It has a lot of ghosting which can only be reduced by upping brightness and reducing contrast

DO NOT get the LG 34GP63A. Not sure if I was unlucky with the one I bought but It had the worst ghosting I have ever seen. I have no words to explain how bad it looked. I'm not kidding, I played 10 minutes of WoW with it and took it back to the store. It was AWFUL.

I play Valorant almost daily and very rarely notice ghosting.

1440p works just fine, no issues at all. But the brightness could be better

I bought that today and returned it. Biggest flaw is that it is not VESA mount compatible.

Redditⓘ good to know

I have an LG Ultragear QHD 34GP63A-B, had it for 2 years now. Never noticed any type of Black Smearing. Played all types of games, Elden Ring, GTA, Starfield, ModernWarfare, Forza. But then Path of Exile 2 came along, and the smearing was just unbearable

Redditⓘ good to know

I took VA as I like those blacks on VA and my previous 32 inch QHD is also a VA from LG.
