Review: I didn’t have the heart to give this beautiful monitor a 4, but I wish there was an option for a 4.5 due to marketing. - Rather than reiterate all the great things about this monitor, I just want you to be aware of a few things before making an $1100+ investment. First things first, the user manual and OnScreen software is available on the LG website. This is especially helpful if you don’t want to dig up an old external dvd drive to install the software. [...] I installed the OnScreen Control (1.35) on my Mac Mini (OS X EL Captain & Windows 10 using Parallels). The Screen Split (1.23) for Mac OSX isn’t listed on the above site, but you can get it from the support page for the LG 34UC97. [...] However, after installing both, you realize they offer the same functionality. There is a good YouTube video that explains the setup: Setting Up 4-Screen Split – LG UltraWide Monitors | LG USA [...] Once, installed it’s so easy to drag and drop an application into any screen area. ☺ Now on to the marketing… So yes, you can have 4 screens split and theoretically 8, but it’s not because you are maximizing the 5 inputs (2HDMI, 2 Thunderbolt, 1 DisplayPort). Page 25 of the user manual is the only place that clearly indicates that you can’t view the HDMI 1 and HDMI 2 inputs at the same time. After doing quite a bit of reading yesterday, I found that you would need additional hardware to do this for many new monitors that advertise PIP. One of the major reasons, I chose this monitor over the Predator, Samsung, or the new Dell P4317Q were the number and type of inputs. With so many devices using HDMI (multiple computers, laptops, cable TV, gaming consoles, etc.), it would have been nice to be able to view 2 HDMI inputs at the same time. I plan on purchasing a Thunderbolt cable to test the PBP features today. It’s nice that they bundled a DisplayPort cable, but then it dawned on me, that my Mac Mini and Surface 3 use Thunderbolt / mini DisplayPort connections. As far as I know, Macbooks wouldn’t be able to use the full size DisplayPort cable as well. By the way, for those who are worried about using a curved monitor, your eyes adjust after the first 5 minutes. So, as I mentioned earlier, this is an absolutely stunning monitor and you won’t regret the purchase. I just wanted to highlight a few additional details that may help you in making your purchase or using this product.
Review: The best monitor you can get as of mid 2016 - I was in the market for a great display for my profession. I looked around and came down to the three brands that are pioneering the UltraWide monitors; Dell, Samsung, and LG. LG already has 3 or more previous models and seem to have more experience. My biggest concern was the backlight bleed. Dell seems to have TERRIBLE bleed. As LG uses the same panel as Dell, I was set on Samsung... until I realized they had their newest model, 34UC98 on desertcart. I looked around for hours and seems like it has no backlight bleed, if there is, very, very minimal. Even though I was set on Samsung with its VA panel, IPS is more color accurate, so I purchased this LG monitor. Surprisingly, UPS sent it in its original box, which I wasn't too happy because I live at a apartment complex. Anyone could've saw that I ordered a $1,000 computer monitor. Anyways, setting up was very easy. Plug and play with both PC/DisplayPort and Mac/ThunderBolt. First thing is first, the monitor is gorgeous. Even though it is curved, you hardly notice it at all after a few minutes. The monitor is factory color calibrated so the colors are quite accurate, at least I think so. I love everything about this thing... EXCEPT! The backlight bleed. Yes, there's backlight bleed. Bottom two corners have visible bleed. It's only about an inch and a half squared, so it's not a deal breaker. However I am just warning you that there's backlight bleed. I think Samsung is releasing their new Super Curved UltraWide soon, and I heard it's 3000:1 contrast versus this one which is 1000:1 contrast. I'm not sure if they're using VA panel again, but if they can pull off the color accuracy, I will definitely sell this one and get that instead.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What the difference between this 34uc98 & 34uc97-s its $300 difference in price? second i want to use it currently with win10, do it works win & mac**
A: I am trying to make time to write up a full review. The 98 is the 2016 model vs the 97-s which was 2015. 34UC98 Resolves the backlight bleed issue that many had issue with in 34UC97-s. Ive been running mac exclusive but there is no reason it shouldn't pair with Win10. BEAUTIFUL monitor though I am in love. I replaced my old 65" plasma with the 34UC98. Wouldn't go back if you gave me a big screen, even for free.

**Q: Will this work with macbook pro 13" early 2015 at 60hz?  what's the difference running at 60hz and 30hz?**
A: It depends mostly on you graphics card. Basically if it's a retina macbook you it should work well and it will run even better if you use it with your laptop closed so that the graphics card only has to worry about pushing pixels to the big monitor.

**Q: How wide is the base of the monitor stand? I would like to use it on a desk stand and want to make sure it would fit.**
A: 21 inches wide and 5 deep BUT remember it is curved so the ends stick out more.  The 5 inches is from the center of the stand to the back of the stand and in the maximum concavity of the curve. So your stand has to be at least 8 inches wide to take the monitor....... which is SUPERB by the way

**Q: What kind of video card is recommended to run at native resolution?**
A: It has 3440 x 1440 resolution, please find video card's manufacturer's specification.normally 4K or UHD compatible video card is recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing monitor from LG for both Mac and/or PC users
*by C***. on June 21, 2016*

Not much else to say except that this is a great monitor. I'm coming from a 27" apple cinema display and this is a better monitor in almost every way. It's a perfect level of matte that doesn't destroy the picture, but it means I can finally use my monitor in my room with the windows fully open in sunny Denver Colorado. I could never do this with my cinema display because it's so shiny. The cinema display makes a great mirror though! :) I use this on my MBP (in clam shell mode) via the thunderbolt connection. And then I also use this monitor on my Win10 PC via DisplayPort. Switching is as easy as using the toggle and changing the input, takes a few seconds. The other feature I really like is that USB is passed through the thunderbolt cable so I only need to have the thunderbolt cable plugged in to my Mac and all the USB devices (including my web cam and DAC) plugged in to the back of the monitor get passed through to my Mac automatically without needing a USB cable. So this is a really great monitor for Mac users. If you use DisplayPort, you need to use the separate USB cable to pass USB to your PC. As far as picture quality, I'm not expert at this, but I do software/systems development and the picture quality, brightness, and real estate is really incredible. I run my Mac in HiDPI mode because the native resolution (3440x1440) is too small for my eyes. I've tried to use dual monitors before and I find it too distracting, but this width is perfect for me. It's really great when you're doing work and need another window side-by-side to reference as you work. UPDATE Jan 2017: When I originally wrote this, I had a 2014 15" MBP. I recently bought a 2016 15" MBP, bought a Thunderbolt 2-to-3 USB-C adapter from Apple, and used a normal Thunderbolt cable to hook up the monitor. It works great so far. USB device passthrough also still works (Logitech C920 camera). It also passes through my Schiit USB DAC. I still highly recommend this monitor. It is one of the best monitors you can buy, especially if you want to use it with both a PC and Mac, which I do on a daily basis.
