If you're sensitive to price and mainly interested in casual gaming and media consumption, the LG 34GN850B offers a solid experience for less investment but doesn't excel in high-dynamic range (HDR) gaming or media. On the other hand, if you're willing to invest more for slightly better performance in areas like digital photo editing, the LG 34GP83A could be the better choice, though it still falls short for HDR content. Neither monitor is ideal for HDR gaming or professional color work, but both offer a broad refresh rate for smooth gameplay and a 21:9 aspect ratio which can enhance productivity and gaming immersion.

TechSpot

Tim Schiesser | August 2020
"Mid-range 3440 x 1440 144Hz VA monitors are ~$500 to $600 these days. You are getting a much better product for the higher price of the LG, with faster response times and better colors (outside of the contrast ratio), but this is definitely a monitor that is reserved for those that want the best of the best and are willing to pay for it."

"The LG 34GP83A is an excellent monitor for the price! It offers flawless performance thanks to its rapid response time, low input lag, high refresh rate, and certified G-SYNC compatibility. Moreover, its Nano IPS panel ensures vibrant colors which along with the 3440×1440 ultrawide resolution makes for a stunning and immersive viewing experience."
