OK..My story. I got the monitor in on friday. I didn't like the color so I made a few changes. The sharpness of the picture was great and I did get good colors. I am a gamer only. I have a 1440p korean monitor. After using the LG on Saturday and Sunday I decided to send it back. It has a good picture but its not worth 1k...It felt more like I was paying 1k for 6 inches wider screen. Now if watching movies are doing work on this..its a great monitor. Now if this monitor was 599.99 then Id have kept it. I'm gonna wait till 4k monitors hit. If your coming from 1080p then I think you'll think this is the greatest monitor ever.

Here's one for us in the uk thats much cheaper: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp.../unoptimized&gclid=COzTs4Kbp74CFfQQtAodElAAlA
Except they don't actually have it in stock.
Can anyone who has a calibrator with the UM95 let me know what the documentation says is supported hardware wise? I have an i1 Display 2 with Lacie's software and am currently looking at the i1 Display Pro as my 2 is some what old now.
I ordered the pro, it's coming in today. I'll let you know how that works out for me.
The local Microcenter received another display today (only one box) so I picked it up. Overall - superb. Contrast is excellent, the viewing angles help a great deal. I still would prefer it to be an inch or two less wide and an inch or two taller. I can deal with this however.
Having a way to use keyboard shortcuts to snap windows to 1/3-of-display increments (left, center and right windows) would be nice, if anyone has ideas.

You guys really need to calibrate this epic beast. Here is what you need:
1. USB cable for the "USB UP" port on the back of the monitor.
2. True Color Finder calibration software that comes on the disc with the monitor. This will allow you to "internally" calibrate the display.
3. A colorimeter. I recommend a Spyder from datacolor. Just buy one. You can then calibrate all your displays. They even have a kit for large HDTVs. http://spyder.datacolor.com/display-calibration/
I recommend you install the monitor driver off the disc included with the monitor as well just so the calibration software detects everything correctly.
Calibrate to sRGB spec: 120cd/m2 brightness, 6500K white point & 2.2 gamma.
When the .icc profile is generated, apply it to Windows.
Use an app like Color Sustainer to use the .icc profile while playing fullscreen games.

That's the beauty I will realise soon too. I have a U2713HM and I connect my PS3 to it and play over HDMI whenever I want a quick break from photo editing but I know full well that the colours being shown aren't representative of what the screen is capable of and since it has no hardware LUT I have to just adjust visually via the OSD.One quick clarification for everyone:
Using this method, there is no need to use Color Sustainer. Using True Color Finder and a hardware calibrator actually calibrates the settings in the monitor itself and writes it to a hardware LUT. Your monitor has been calibrated and will remain on the same color profile regardless of what application you're running on your computer. This is different from writing the color profile to your computer, which then uses a software LUT in your GPU to apply the calibration.
So again, your monitor has been calibrated, no need for Color Sustainer or any other software solution after doing the above. It's a beautiful thing that this monitor has a hardware LUT.

As this will be my first screen with onboard LUT, does this also mean then that the .icc profiles we commonly use with software calibrations are no longer needed been as everything is saved directly to the monitor?
Amazing Spider-Man 2 Trailer 21:9 4k
This one looks really good. It's the first true 21:9 4k content I've found out there.
I'm noticing that the youtube links only show quality options up through 1080p... nothing further. Any thoughts as to how to make youtube think that I can/should stream 4K?
Display resolution is correct, I'm using the latest Chrome under Win 8.1.
Well the good news is it let me stream the hobbit content at 4k, but the bad news is it let me stream the hobbit content at 4k I hate HOBBITS and all Tolkien fantasy garbage. Now the dragon lance series, that is some D&D fantasy that I can sink my teeth into!
I caved and ordered one from B&H for $899. I also ordered a spyder4pro with it. I was concerned about the color processing in this monitor since I am coming from a Dell U3014 with 12 bit color processing w/ 14bit LUT (the LG is 8 bit +FRC). But I figured since I am mainly using this for gaming, and if I properly calibrate it, it will be fine in color reproduction. We'll see. The other concern with this monitor is LG's pixel policy. With the Dell if a single pixel dies I get a replacement. Does anybody know for sure LG's policy on dead or frozen pixels?
I'm in the U.S. I just canceled my order from Newegg. I ordered it a month ago, got a tracking number the next day, and just waited and waited. There is still no update to my tracking, it just said "shipped". So I canceled it today and got a reply from the seller (NEOFEEL) that their is something up with LG's factory line for the product and they have to fix the process before they can make more They keep promising "next week" and not delivering. I don't know if you watched Amazon's release date, but every week they push the delivery back another week so it's always 1 or 2 weeks away. They've been doing that for a month or more. Either way, the monitor is listed twice on Newegg's site. Once at $1495 (what I originally paid) and the exact same monitor again for $1099. Derp. Are people in the US actually receiving shipments for this thing?
Hi all,
I received my LG 34UM95 yesterday and I wanted to give you a warning on why Im sending it back. The input lag.
Hi all,
I received my LG 34UM95 yesterday and I wanted to give you a warning on why I’m sending it back. The input lag.
I come from an Asus VG278H and for me the difference is really there. See for yourselves :
(both screens at 1080p, mirrored and without scaling)
LG 34UM95 on the left and Asus VG278H on the right. The LG is 17ms behind.
I understand that an 5ms 60 Hz IPS display is hardly comparable versus an 1ms 120 Hz TN one in term of reactivity and I thought I could get used to it. But after nearly two years on the Asus, I can’t go back and I’m sending back the LG.
For those who can get past the input lag, the 34UM95 is otherwise a very good monitor. The colors are great out of the box, the aspect ratio is weird at first but very enjoyable and it is overall a great experience for content creators.
It is trully a pleasure on programs like 3DS Max, After Effects and Photoshop to have such screen real estate and it looks gorgeous on games too.
I’m planning on waiting for the Asus RoG Swift PG278Q 1440p 120 Hz with G-Sync, which I think will be the perfect match for me.
I've read a few accounts of people driving this monitor with a 2013 Macbook Air (I believe with the lid closed?). I'm currently running a Mid-2012 Macbook Air (1.8 GHz i5 - Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB - Thunderbolt), any chance of it running on my machine? Has anyone done so conclusively? I'd only be interested at the full 1340x1440 resolution.
I'm not interested in gaming (I have consoles for that) - i'm a software developer so i'm purely after the screen real estate. I've been watching 21:9 screens with interest for several years, but the 1080px height has always put me off, so this monitor would be ideal.
Better still, would there be any interest in a Google spreadsheet detailing support for machines and/or graphics cards that can run this beast, and at what res?
I have a 2013 MBA, I had to update to 10.9.3 beta to get this monster to work at native resolution and refresh rates. And it works with the lid up. I am on the same boat as you for its primary usage and I love it. I am sure your 2012 MBA will work also with the 10.9.3 update. I tried it with a 2011 MBP last night and I didn't even need 10.9.3. Thunderbolt 1 has all the bandwidth it needs for this display to work, the main question prior to 10.9.3 is the driver support.
I have a U3011, and I am on the fence buying the 34UM95.
Those of you that have switched out your U3011(and U3014) with a 34UM95, how do you like the new monitor compared to the old one?
I use my monitor for some web coding, working on spreadsheets and documents side by side, playing games(rpg, rts, and some occasional fps), editing photos in Lightroom, and watching tv series and movies.
I really wish the LG 34 had a very subtle curve too it.
If it was a purely movie or gaming marketed screen then yes but it's designed for professionals in mind and because of that any curve would cause problems for critical workflows.
