Our Verdict

LG 34GP83A-B

LG 34GP950G-B

The LG 34GP83A-B and the LG 34GP950G-B are pretty similar overall. The 34GP950G has slightly better reflection handling, and the unit we bought has better gray uniformity, but this can vary between units. The 34GP950G has a local dimming feature, but it's pretty bad, so this doesn't add much over the 34GP83A-B. Finally, there's a slight difference in the supported gaming technologies. The 34GP950G is a native G-SYNC monitor, whereas the 34GP83A-B is just G-SYNC compatible, so if you have an NVIDIA graphics card and want to get the most out of it, the 34GP950G might be the better choice.
