The LG 34GS95QE-B is a high-end 34-inch ultrawide gaming monitor with a 3440x1440 resolution and 800R curve. With an OLED screen and 240Hz refresh rate, it competes alongside other monitors that use the same panel, like the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG34WCDM and the Acer Predator X34 X. As part of the 2024 LG UltraGear gaming lineup, it sits alongside other OLED monitors, like the LG 27GS95QE-B and the LG 39GS95QE-B, which are different sizes. It comes with features you'd expect to find in a premium gaming monitor, like FreeSync and G-SYNC compatibility, and HDMI 2.1 bandwidth. Its audio output also supports DTS Headphones:X for 3D audio. Lastly, it comes with a two-year warranty that covers the OLED panel, although this can vary by region.
Our Verdict
The LG 34GS95QE-B is incredible for PC gaming. Its fast 240Hz refresh rate is ideal even for competitive gaming, and it supports all common VRR formats to reduce screen tearing. It has an exceptionally fast response time, so there's almost no blur behind fast-moving objects, and it has low input lag, so gaming feels responsive. It also has near-infinite contrast, so it displays deep blacks next to bright highlights, which is great for gaming in dark rooms. One downside is that it has noticeable VRR flicker in dark scenes with changing frame rates, which is disappointing if your game can't maintain consistent frame rates.
- Near-instantaneous response time.
- Displays deep and inky blacks.
- 240Hz refresh rate and VRR support.
- Low input lag.
- No blooming around bright objects.
- Noticeable VRR flicker with changing frame rates.
The LG 34GS95QE-B is amazing for console gaming. It supports all signals from the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, but it downscales 4k signals as it isn't a true 4k monitor, and the consoles don't support ultrawide gaming, so you'll see black bars on the sides. Luckily, it offers fantastic gaming performance with an exceptionally fast response time and almost no blur behind fast-moving objects, and it also has low input lag for a responsive feel. Lastly, it delivers outstanding picture quality with deep blacks next to bright highlights.

The LG 34GS95QE-B is decent for office use, but there are some limitations. It has a large 34-inch screen that makes it easy to place multiple windows side-by-side, but it may take time to get used to its aggressive curve. It also has decent ergonomics and wide viewing angles that help you share the screen with someone else. However, it has text clarity issues due to its subpixel layout, and while it has excellent reflection handling, it doesn't get bright enough to fight really intense glare. It also has an aggressive curve that makes it harder to use if you're not used to using curved screens. Unfortunately, OLEDs like this can burn-in with constant exposure to the same static elements over time, which is disappointing for office use.
- 34-inch ultrawide screen.
Excellent reflection handling.
- Wide viewing angles.
- Text clarity issues due to subpixel layout.

Popular Monitor Comparisons
The LG 34GS95QE-B is an incredible PC gaming monitor that provides both premium picture quality and exceptional motion handling. Its 240Hz refresh rate is great even for competitive gamers, and it supports HDMI 2.1 bandwidth to take advantage of gaming consoles and modern graphics cards. It's a good alternative to the LG 27GS95QE-B if you want an ultrawide screen and don't mind the aggressive curve, and while it doesn't have as many productivity features as the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG34WCDM, as it lacks a USB-C port and KVM switch, it's still an incredible choice for pure gaming. That said, it doesn't deliver the same vivid colors as an ultrawide QD-OLED, like the Dell Alienware AW3423DWF.
Also see our recommendations for the best ultrawide gaming monitors, the best 34-49 inch monitors, and the best curved gaming monitors.
The LG 34GS95QE-B and the Dell Alienware AW3425DW are both ultrawide gaming monitors with different types of OLED panels. The Dell has a QD-OLED panel that allows it to get brighter with small highlights and display more vivid colors. The Dell also has a glossy coating that results in clearer images, but more mirror-like reflections than the matte coating of the LG. The main advantage of using the LG in a bright room is the fact that its black levels don't rise much, whereas blacks look purple in bright rooms on the Dell.
The LG 34GS95QE-B and the MSI MPG 341CQPX QD-OLED are both 34-inch 240Hz OLED gaming monitors. The MSI is better if you want the most vivid colors. However, the LG is a better choice if you're gaming in a brighter room, as deep blacks don't have a purple tint in those conditions unlike the MSI.
The Dell Alienware AW3423DWF and the LG 34GS95QE-B are both ultrawide gaming monitors, but they have a few differences. The LG has a higher 240Hz refresh rate, which is ideal for competitive gamers. It also has HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, which is great if you want to take full advantage of your HDMI 2.1 graphics card. However, the Dell is the better choice if you care about having the best picture quality possible, as it displays more vivid colors and brighter highlights than the LG.
The LG 45GX950A-B and the LG 34GS95QE-B are different types of ultrawide OLED gaming monitors. With a bigger screen, the 45GX950A-B is more versatile for playing different types of games, as it has a Dual-Mode feature that lets you choose between a 165Hz refresh rate with a high resolution, or a lower resolution with a 330Hz refresh rate. The 45GX950A-B also has a few extra features, like a USB-C port and DisplayPort 2.1 bandwidth. However, the 34GS95QE-B has a native 240Hz refresh rate with a higher resolution than the resolution in the 45GX950A-B's 330Hz Dual-Mode, so it's something to consider if you want a middle ground between the resolution and refresh rate.
We buy and test more than 30 monitors each year, all of which we purchase ourselves, without cherry-picked units or samples. We put a lot into each unbiased, straight-to-the-point review, and there's a whole process from purchasing to publishing, involving multiple teams and people. We do more than just use the monitor for a week; we use specialized, custom tools to measure various aspects and deliver objective, data-driven results. We also consider multiple factors before making any recommendations, including the monitor's cost, its performance compared to the competition, and whether it's easy to find.
