判决
LG 34GK950G(LG 34GK950G)超宽显示屏具有高品质IPS 面板(IPS panel)，可提供身临其境的视觉体验、高响应能力和出色的视角。它非常适合休闲游戏玩家和对生产力感兴趣的人。它的设计是简约的一面，端口数量和可用的功能也是如此。如果您想要出色的图像质量(image quality)，并且不打算将其并行连接到多个设备，LG 34GK950G是您下一台显示器的绝佳选择。
设计和硬件规格
LG 34GK950G具有吸引人的设计，四面都是薄边框，边缘、支架和底座采用磨砂塑料。它是一款 34" 曲面电竞显示器，具有UltraWide 21:9 宽高比(aspect ratio)。它的QHD 分辨率为 3440x1440 像素，像素面积是(QHD resolution)UltraWide Full HD 21:9显示器的约 1.8 倍。显示器采用Nano IPS 面板(Nano IPS panel)，覆盖 98% 的DCI-P3 色彩(DCI-P3 color)空间、135% 的sRGB 色彩空间(sRGB color space)和 95% 的Adobe RGB。
LG 34GK950G支持的最大刷新率为 120 Hz。但是，它仅在其超频功能(overclocking feature)打开并且您使用DisplayPort 1.2电缆将其连接到您的 PC 时才能工作。如果您使用HDMI 1.4，则最大刷新率为 50 Hz。该显示器支持NVIDIA G-SYNC 技术，面向(NVIDIA G-SYNC technology and targets gamers)使用NVIDIA显卡的游戏玩家。要使用此功能，您应该使用DisplayPort 电缆(DisplayPort cable)而不是HDMI。这款显示器还有另一个版本 - LG 34GK950GF-B - 针对使用AMD Radeon显卡及其FreeSync 技术的游戏玩家(FreeSync technology).
LG 34GK950G的亮度为 400 cd/m2，对比度(contrast ratio)为 1000:1。其IPS 面板(IPS panel)的视角水平和垂直均为 178 度，默认响应时间(default response time)为 5ms ( GTG ) 和 1ms MBR ( Motion Blur Reduction )。
显示器的背面采用哑光黑色塑料包裹。在那里，您可以找到Sphere照明系统、LG 徽标(LG logo)和以下端口：一个DisplayPort、一个HDMI、两个USB 3.0端口、一个USB 上行端口(USB Up-Stream port)、电源(Power)插孔、耳机插孔(headphone jack)和第三个USB 3.0端口应该只能由 LG 的支持服务使用(support service)。一个不太明显的细节是，如果您还购买了RW120 安装(RW120 mount)板，您可以将这款显示器安装在墙上。
在显示屏底部，您可以找到Kensington Lock、用于导航的操纵杆(Joystick)按钮和用于在照明模式之间切换的照明按钮。(Lighting)该显示器上没有捆绑扬声器，我们认为这不是缺点。大多数监听音箱的性能都不尽如人意，因此用户更喜欢使用单独的音箱或游戏耳机。
正如您所料，这台显示器很大、很重，而且不太容易移动。包括支架后，LG 34GK950G的尺寸为 32.2 x 22.5 x 11.2 英寸或 819.4 x 572.6 x 286.5 毫米宽x 高(x height) x 深(x depth)。它的重量也为 17.4 磅或 7.9 公斤。由于它的体积很大，为了安全起见，您应该用双手处理它。

使用LG 34GK950G超宽电竞显示器(gaming monitor)
LG 34GK950G具有令人印象深刻的尺寸和高分辨率，使其对游戏玩家和想要提高工作效率、需要并排使用许多应用程序的用户都很有用。我们还对使用 PC 的健康方面(health aspect)感兴趣，我们很高兴您可以倾斜、旋转和调整显示器的高度。它可以帮助您在坐在 PC 前时保持正确的姿势。由于尺寸较大，当您重新放置 LG 34GK950G(LG 34GK950G)时会有一些晃动，但在日常使用中它在桌面上确实保持相当稳定。
我们喜欢LG 34GK950G(LG 34GK950G)提供的鲜艳色彩和鲜明对比。但是，如果QHD显示器总体上存在一个缺点，那就是您需要内容才能利用大屏幕。在HBO Go(HBO Go)上观看全高清(Full HD)电影不断提醒人们，如果没有可用的 1440p 或 4K 内容，该屏幕的大部分内容仍未使用。
LG 34GK950G上的游戏是另一回事。我们玩了Metro Exodus、Disco Elysium和Fortnite。它的大小、曲率和响应能力带来身临其境的游戏体验(gaming experience)。
如果您的NVIDIA显卡可以在这么大的屏幕上每秒提供大量帧，那么您将在LG 34GK950G上享受游戏的乐趣，几乎没有延迟。
默认情况下，LG 34GK950G使用 60 Hz 的刷新率。要将其设置为 120 Hz，您需要强大的NVIDIA显卡、DisplayPort 连接(DisplayPort connection)，并打开超频(Overclocking)功能。一旦启用，您还必须在显卡设置中手动将刷新率设置为 120Hz。否则(Otherwise)，Windows 10将继续使用 60 Hz。
Sphere 灯对喜欢(Sphere lighting)RGB 游戏(RGB gaming)配件的人很有吸引力。按下照明(Lighting)按钮可手动在不同的照明模式之间切换。虽然大多数灯看起来不错，但缺点是系统不是通过软件控制的。您无法根据需要对其进行个性化设置，也无法将其与 PC 上的其他RGB照明系统同步。如果您不喜欢它，也可以将其关闭。
OSD （屏幕显示）通过显示器底部的操纵杆进行控制。导航(Navigation)简单快捷。如果您想从这款显示器获得最佳体验，我们建议您根据您玩的游戏更改玩家模式配置文件。(Gamer Mode)
如果您是一名游戏玩家，拥有强大的 NVIDIA 显卡，可以轻松处理 1440p 内容和游戏，那么使用 LG 34GK950G 是一种很棒的体验。(If you are a gamer with a powerful NVIDIA graphics card that can handle 1440p content and games with ease, using the LG 34GK950G is a great experience.)

After using computers for several decades, we are no longer fans of having two monitors connected in parallel. We prefer a single ultra-wide monitor with a high resolution.

Verdict
The LG 34GK950G ultra-wide display has a high-quality IPS panel that offers an immersive visual experience, high responsiveness, and great viewing angles. It is a good fit both for casual gamers and people who are interested in productivity. Its design is on the minimalistic side, and so are the number of ports and the features available on it. If you want excellent image quality, and you don't plan to connect it to multiple devices in parallel, LG 34GK950G is a great choice to consider as your next monitor.
Design and hardware specifications
The LG 34GK950G has an attractive design with thin bezels on all sides, and matte plastics used for the edges, the stand, and the base. It is a large 34" curved gaming monitor with an UltraWide 21:9 aspect ratio. It has a QHD resolution of 3440x1440 pixels, and its pixel area is about 1.8 times larger than that of an UltraWide Full HD 21:9 monitor. The monitor uses a Nano IPS panel that covers 98% of the DCI-P3 color space, 135% of the sRGB color space, and 95% of Adobe RGB.
The maximum refresh rate supported by LG 34GK950G is 120 Hz. However, it works only when its overclocking feature is turned on, and you use a DisplayPort 1.2 cable to connect it to your PC. If you use HDMI 1.4, the maximum refresh rate is 50 Hz. This monitor supports the NVIDIA G-SYNC technology and targets gamers with NVIDIA graphic cards. For this feature to work, you should use a DisplayPort cable instead of HDMI. There's also another version of this monitor - LG 34GK950GF-B - that targets gamers with AMD Radeon graphic cards and their FreeSync technology.
LG 34GK950G has a brightness of 400 cd/m2 and a contrast ratio of 1000:1. The viewing angles of its IPS panel equal 178 degrees both horizontally and vertically, and the default response time is 5ms (GTG) and 1ms MBR (Motion Blur Reduction).
The back of the monitor is encased in a matte black plastic. There, you find a Sphere lighting system, the LG logo, and the following ports: one DisplayPort, one HDMI, two USB 3.0 ports, a USB Up-Stream port, the Power jack, a headphone jack, and a third USB 3.0 port that is supposed to be used only by LG's support service. One less-obvious detail is that you can mount this monitor on walls if you also purchase an RW120 mount plate.
On the bottom of the display, you find a Kensington Lock, the Joystick button for navigation, and the Lighting button for switching between the lighting modes. There are no speakers bundled on this monitor, which is not a downside in our view. Most monitor speakers have underwhelming performances, so users prefer using separate speakers or a gaming headset anyway.
As you would expect, this monitor is quite large, heavy, and not so easy to move around. With the stand included, LG 34GK950G has a size of 32.2 x 22.5 x 11.2 inches or 819.4 x 572.6 x 286.5 mm in width x height x depth. It also weighs 17.4 lbs or 7.9 kg. Because of its large size, you should handle it with both hands, for safety.

Using the LG 34GK950G ultra-wide gaming monitor
LG 34GK950G has an impressive size and a high resolution that makes it useful both to gamers and to users who want to be productive, in need of using many apps side by side. We are also interested in the health aspect of using our PC, and we enjoyed that you can tilt, swivel, and adjust the height of the monitor. It helps you have correct posture when sitting in front of your PC. Because of the large size, there is some wobble when you reposition the LG 34GK950G, but it does remain pretty stable on the desk during day-to-day use.
We enjoyed the vivid colors and the sharp contrast offered by the LG 34GK950G. However, if there's one downside with QHD displays in general, it's that you need content to take advantage of the large screen. Watching Full HD movies on HBO Go was a constant reminder that much of this screen remains unused without 1440p or 4K content available.
Gaming on the LG 34GK950G is a different story. We played Metro Exodus, Disco Elysium, and Fortnite. Its size, curvature, and responsiveness make for an immersive gaming experience.
If you have an NVIDIA graphics card that can deliver a high number of frames per second on a screen this large, you are going to enjoy playing on the LG 34GK950G, with little lag.
By default, LG 34GK950G uses a refresh rate of 60 Hz. To set it to 120 Hz, you need a powerful NVIDIA graphics card, a DisplayPort connection, and to turn on the Overclocking feature. Once that is enabled, you also have to manually set the refresh rate to 120Hz in your graphics card settings as well. Otherwise, Windows 10 is going to keep using 60 Hz.
The Sphere lighting is attractive to people who love RGB gaming accessories. Press the Lighting button to switch between different lighting modes manually. While most of the lights look good, the downside is that the system is not controlled through software. You cannot personalize it as you wish or sync it with other RGB lighting systems on your PC. If you don't enjoy it, you can also turn it off.
The OSD (on-screen display) is controlled through a joystick on the bottom of the monitor. Navigation is easy and quick. We recommend that you change the Gamer Mode profiles based on the game that you play, if you want to get the best experience possible out of this monitor.
If you are a gamer with a powerful NVIDIA graphics card that can handle 1440p content and games with ease, using the LG 34GK950G is a great experience.
Drivers and software
If you want to use the LG 34GK950G to its full potential, download its "driver" and OnScreen Control software. The driver is LG's color profile for this model, and you can install it using the instructions in this tutorial: What is an ICM file? How to use it to install a color profile in Windows 10?.
The OnScreen Control app lets you split the desktop estate so that you can snap app windows to some predefined regions on it. We found it useful, considering the size of this monitor. If you are interested in being productive while using your PC, you should give this app a try.
The app also lets you personalize the brightness, the contrast, and the display orientation.
What is your opinion about the LG 34GK950G?
Now you know more about the LG 34GK950G, its strengths, and its weaknesses. We believe it's a great addition to any gaming setup based on an NVIDIA graphics card. Do you agree with us? If you already have this monitor, tell us about your experience with it. Comment below and let's discuss.
