This LG 34-Inch QHD Curved Smart Monitor is a great deal if you want to dip your toe into the world of ultrawides. Unlike the typical 16:9 or 16:10 picture ratio seen on most displays, this monitor features a 21:9 panel. Functionally, it’s a lot like having two displays without dealing with the hassle. With its smart features, it also serves as a standalone TV, letting you watch streaming apps and stream content from a phone independently of your PC. It even has a built-in speaker, which saves your desk from some clutter.

A massive smart monitor that’ll put you straight in the game
The ultrawide panel runs at 3440×1440 natively and can display 99% of the sRGB color gamut. The screen has a subtle curve that wraps the edges toward you, making content feel more immersive and a bit easier to see than on a totally flat ultrawide. The 100Hz refresh rate also makes things a bit smoother than a standard 60Hz panel, making this a great entry point for a 21:9 gaming monitor.
Built-in webOS 23 puts the “smart” in smart monitor, giving you access to all the big services like Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, HBO Max, and more. You can also choose from over 300 free LG Channels, which have a ton of ad-supported content. The great thing is that all this runs separately from your PC or game console, so you don’t have to worry about switching between devices every time you want to watch something.
