CORRECTION: The Asus has a 1ms MPRT response time which is about 4ms GTG. The LG has a 1ms GTG response time.

It's nice to see a video comparing these two monitors as these are the ones I've basically narrowed it down to based on specs/price. Thanks!

your original review of the Asus Monitor helped me make my deciding factor. Been using it for about a week now. At first I did experience the green/purple artifacting, it wasn't as bad as others. Not all my games have this issue. Mainly warzone in dark stairways. i was able to eliminate the issue with the following settings on FPS mode: Brightness - 60 Contrast - 86 Saturation - 40 OD - 20 Shadow boost - Level 2 Gsync - on This is with a RTX 3070. Hope this helps others.

This is an awesome comparison thanks

Been looking at the ASUS and I've been trying to do my research. Thanks for the comparison!

Great channel man

Just discovered this channel. Trying to decide on a new monitor and this video helped. This channel should have 200K subscribers not 2K. Think I am going with the LG 34GN850-B which seems to be almost exactly like the LG 34GP83A-B in performance and price.

Thanks for the comparison. This choice was tearing me apart. I went with the LG😀

Came across your channel earlier today in regards to something else and then saw the review for these two monitors, one of which I have and another that is very similar. My predicament right now is between the 32GP83B-B.AUS and the VG32VQ1B. I really like the curve, but have noticed tearing/ghosting with some games like Insurgency and sometimes Tarkov. I'm kinda stuck between the two since right now they're similarly priced, LG is just a very small bit more.

You should do more monitor vs would be a great series ngl

Great video man! Could u share your camera and lens setup!? Awesome quality!

This guy deserve more subscribers than this.❤Keep it up. Best monitor review chanel I hae seen so far actually. All the best from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰

Your channel deserves an upgrade to 4K HDR videos 🚀

The deciding factor for me was the price of the ASUS which supports g-sync for $400 compare to $789 for the LG. Thank you for the awesome comparison.

Great comparision

Great video, thanks!! What keyboard is that?

Thanks!

Same! Great video, wish I didn't see the LG side by side lol could've saved the extra $250 lol

The fact that these can even be compared shows how good the asus monitor is for it’s price

According to "displayspecifications", Asus is 8 bit depth, so it might use FRC to actually have the same 1.07 billion colors. I Noticed Asus VG34VQL1B in Taiwan, But no one mentioned LG 34GP83A-B, and they both haven't launched in Taiwan yet. I think I will buy LG when it is on sale. You are doing good, Keep it up.

You are mistaking color accuracy for color gamut. The Asus hasn't got as wide a color gamut as the LG, but that doesn't tell you anything about color accuracy. This would have to be tested with a colorimeter. Though color shift is definitely going to be better with LG's IPS. As for the panel being 10-bit or 8-bit, it looks like the VA that Asus uses is probably 8-bit native with dithering done on the GPU side of things. So far I haven't seen any VA panels that have 8-bit+FCR for 10 bit on the monitor side. The LG is also using dithering, though it does this within the monitor itself. Your GPU should show either one as being 10-bit up to 144Hz though. That's a limitation of DP 1.4. If you don't have display stream compression (DSC), which only newer graphics cards have, you can't implement 10-bit over DP 1.4 above 144Hz. It adds cost to the monitor, so few models currently available have this feature. At least it comes with two DP 1.4 ports, but an HDMI 2.1 would be nice. No one is including those on monitors even in 2021. I'm betting it has to do with the HDMI consortium and their licensing. I'd actually like to try this monitor out myself, but it's sold out on Amazon. Is the ghosting bad with light text on a dark background? Most of what I do is in dark mode across various programs and apps, so that would make a difference. I'm also not a fan of the 1500R curve. I've tried the LG 34GP83A, and it has a 1900R curve, which is much more tolerable. Working in graphic design, it is a consideration. The LG was a good monitor with a few bugs. The DP port was defective on mine and kept causing my PC issues. I tried a second DP cable to no avail, and then went to HDMI. It was fine over HDMI, but it can only operate at 85Hz over that port. It's something LG did to undermine that model and get people to opt for the more expensive, but otherwise identical, model 34GN850. They just cut a few corners like the HDMI limitation and not including an HDMI cable or the USB hub cable. I liked the monitor, but the defect was causing me to pull my hair out, and between Amazon and LG, it took me over a week to get a return authorized. By that point I just wanted my money back. I don't know how well it compares to the Asus. I'm sure pixel response is faster, ghosting may be nonexistent, and it has a subtler curve. All for $300 more, before tax. That's a high premium, a 60% higher cost for perhaps 20% better performance? I'm giving them a wide margin here. Colors are also too vibrant and need adjusted to sRGB on the LG if you want to do any professional work. No content exists that's made for DCI-P3 color space, other than HDR, and that's still a limited use case with PC's. It's a nice to have, and I'm betting with the contrast and superior maximum brightness, the Asus does better. Lacking a wider color gamut might hurt it with HDR content just the same. Though otherwise the less extreme color gamut might actually be a good thing. I found leaving the LG set to its default gamut was far too intense and oversaturated normal content. With AMD's drivers, you can limit the color data being sent to it to sRGB, emulating it with fewer restrictions than using the OSD setting on the monitor. It's an easy toggle in the driver settings, which means you can go back and forth whenever you want.

Just scored this ASUS model for $200 via a local Amazon warehouse resale! I discovered that at 144hz, it is 10-bit, and 165 it changes to 8-bit.

Thank you!! I needed this. I just got the Tuf days ago but have been dealing with some issues, the ghost/smear is annoying so far but it's a good price and better than most of the other UW i've looked at. Whats your Warzone ID?

Can you please review some more 27 inch monitors?

O and great reviews BTW

I'm leaning toward the Asus because it appears to have blacker blacks. Do you have any feed back on the HDR performance comparison on them?

Thank you! I was waiting for this! With your previous review of the Asus I bought it, but it's still on the way. Now with this video I'm starting to think I made a wrong decision... But I was able to buy the Asus for about 500 and the LG is for around 850 so I'm not sure if it's worth the extra money to cancel my order and go with LG

Lets Gooooooo !!!

You are Great dude, can't afford the LG but have landed the Asus Monitor!!!

Please review the Dell S3422DWG!

Did you use a colorimeter to calibrate both displays or are the monitors at their default settings? It's not fair to compare VA to IPS color accuracy unless they are both calibrated. And I ask this because I am well aware of how important calibration is for any monitor.

Definitely would get the LG

Coming back to this video after owning the Asus for a year. Just picked up the LG on Prime day 2022 for less than 600 used warehouse deal and I should’ve went with LG from the start… the red/green ghosting, flickering, and screen tearing on the asus ruins the high refresh ultrawide experience

It's a 10 bit. It can run 12bit at 120hz it's a CSOT panel also known as TCL brand.

Great Job! But the Asus monitor has 10 Bit color... And it's Led no VA. Correctly? Please confirm that. Thanks a lot fron Spain!!

A proper competitor for that LG would be the Predator X34 GS

Great review, I'm going LG.. BOOM!

Can you make a video of if my GPU can't handle it in the future if I downscale the resolution and ratio 21:9 to 16:9 will it looks like a real native 1440p 16:9 monitor? Or looks blurry?

Im guessing the 1500r vs 1800r was not a big deal for you? I typically prefer a stronger curve but the LG looks so good.

By any chance is that a wallpaper engine background at 5:44 or just a video? If you have the link for whatever it is that would be awesome.

I like the LG, but for cost/benefit, it is not worth more than double the price of the Asus, with the exception being if you're doing professional photo editing specifically

Even though we are seeing the differences between the two from this video alone, the LG colors just look better. But I do envy the black levels on Asus

heloo sir ۔۔which monitor is best for graphic designig plz reply

Hey T-C, I found this channel just recently. Great videos. I had a question I was hoping you could help me with. Which of these monitors would be better for a PS5? And which one would be better for playing horror games? Outlast, outlast 2 etc. I know you mentioned how the Asus isn’t great with dark games Thanks

I had the same problem where the red and green colours split on my asus but I fixed it by lowering overdrive and turning hdr off maybe that’s helps other people but it works for me ahah tuf all the way

I run the ps4 of the vg1b 34inch montior.. its sick.. It only runs the 1080p HDR.. for the ps4 60H

I'm going to be using the monitor for photo editing as a hobby not professional, I heard the asus would be good for that also. Would most of you agree?

I saw someone use black background white text web page to test IPS and VA panel, and the ghosting on VA is terrible, But someone said "LG had havey issue with "overshoot", because ASUS has "ELMB" , but LG doesn't have "MBR" , because LG afraid of "MPRT" can't catch up with TN". Will you make a video for "black background white text web page test" on both monitor, even just a short footage?

I may be weird but what I don’t like about the LG is that the black bars are too big on the edges in my opinion. It makes it look less sleek. Just because of that I could go for the asus but idk maybe I’m being weird here 😂

Didn't mention that the lg is g-sync compatible and the asus is not g-enabled.

Buy what you can afford, but the LG ticks more boxes for most, excluding price. LG can be found for 550-700, and I personally took the jump, because the next logical step up in performance would be an Alienware OLED for essentially double the price. The ASUS Panel can and should be considered "slow", mainly due to the fact that its a fairly plain VA panel. Potential buyers should look into the M34WQ instead(also IPS, like the LG) if they are concerned about ghosting. If contrast is important to you and you are not sensitive to ghosting, then go VA. AMD users on the LG should try 10 Bit color HDR Mode with the AMD Software "Vivid gaming" option. It really improves the contrast and visibility of this LG Panel way beyond what I was able to achieve via the presets. Contrast, brightness, and saturation can also be tuned to take a step beyond. I actually have the LG 34GN850-B, which has a slightly better HDR mode, but the 83 is extremely comparable and most would not notice the difference. There are those with 83s claiming its the exact same panel, bit that's only because they spent less money and want to believe that. The difference is fairly minor, though. ASUS is slow with good contrast, while the LG is actually FAST and can be tuned to have "good" contrast. The ASUS is not a "steal". If anything, it is "fairly priced", because if you hate ghosting, it will not make you happy. Don't make a mistake.

Was I just about to ignore a vid from consumer's channel?

can you do comparism between acer predator x34gs and asus rog strix xg349c?

The 10bit thing is confusing. I can't stand these monitor manufacturers with their weird choices and obfuscation. So hard to pick something

No VA panel with ghosting will ever get into my desk. I went for the LG ultrawide because it was on sale at 650$, and it is still at that price. Those 150$ extra dollars are well paid for the colors, white handling, and fake HDR that is acceptable on the LG, the input lag and the no ghosting or smearing is the FINAL DECISION for anyone who wants to get an ultrawide these days at a below 1000$ price (Alienware OLED price is still absurd). If you want to spend less cash on an ultrawide, go directly to the Gigabyte 34" IPS panel, not the VA, it is below 450$ and claps the Asus VA ultrawide any given Sunday.

Probably no one will answer xD But im searching for a new monitor and i landed on lg 34gn850-b and i heard that its the same as this lg in the video. Is that true or are there key differences?

Where exactly can you find that LG for $800? It's $1099 new everywhere I look including your link on Amazon.

the ultra gear is also 8bit frc

The lg may be a different model than this lg 34gn850-b than the one you said is 800

The question is... Is the LG worth the extra money over the ASUS monitor? Big price difference

I'd love the lg but at 2x to cost of the asus I can't. I 500 asus 1000 lg at microcenter.

Also I've still not had the red green ghosting or purple green ghosting some have talked about and I've had a few that did do this before this monitor. maybe I'm lucky or maybe I can't see it and I've played a few games you talked about seeing it

I love monitors

some of these monitors look better then real life

DVI or HDMI when gaming to get the best FPS?

These monitors are some beast but MY WALLET

another 34gp83a-b review...anyone have the cheaper 34gp63a-b? is that any good?

Look at it….every time he is looking at us viewers talking with the monitors in the back ground, pause the play-back & look at the monitors. Now which one truly looks better…it’s the one on the left…nice and crisp beautiful screen….the ASUS. Lol…sold!

It's now $1100 versus $500...the LG doesn't seem 2x as good.

Ok the naming conventions are getting ridiculous... what an alphabet soup. Good review

damn the asus is 630eur while the LG sits around 830eur (around 750 and 1000 dollar) where i live

I now have the lg and can say that it can't be beat for the equivalent of €600. the picture, the sharpness and the speed is absolutely outstanding. there is no other monitor with the asus either. the lg is just a dream only when you have it do you know how good it is. since i have already tested 5 different ultrawide va panels i can only recommend the lg. ips does everything right against va. The contrast of the lg is basically high enough and is not as bad as if it were too little at 1000 to 1. I play Everest and black is black. the colors are stunning and paired with one of the fastest and most responsive panels this is incredibly awesome. I throw every va panel out the window. va is slow, bad colors, bad viewing angles, black smearing, colors are washed out. so the lg is just awesome and everyone who likes the va panel has a clue!

should I get the rk84 or the keychron k2?

not available in india

Very noticeable every parts.

My biggest issue after having the ASUS for 6 months and then trying an LG not authorized and a bunch of other IPS again after going to that asus I ended up going back to it because the contrast level

Wanted to hear Asus is better. Heard LG is better. Still buying Asus.

To make it clear and simple, as it can be: This video explains, that the LG is a very good monitor and if you do not care about glowing blacks, go for IPS anyway. If you care about that, Asus has made a fantastic job to give you a VA panel, minimising the inherent weaknesses of the technology. If not told, a standard user would not even notice. The question is simple: do you want to go true black or not? ;)

Color accuracy all day contrast is bs

LOL!!! Bought 2 Asus 34" for the cost of the LG! 🤣🤣🤣 Priceless!!!

Ok why the heck would I buy a Lg34gpa-b for 800 USD when I could buy a LG Oled C1 48 inch at 1000 USd, I mean seriously.

No g sync compatibility with asus

"However, most of you guys should not be buying this based on the USBs" LOLOLOLOLOL

This LG would be amazing if not the F-HD resolution vs QHD. At 34' it is a huge and noticeable difference.

Seem pretty biased to the LG.

Of course Lg is better, its costs 300$ more XD, what you have to say if jts quality price its worth it.

The LG is $800.00. I just got the ASUS for $425.00 on Amazon. To me, that's a deal breaker.

LG looks clearly better. Was eyeing this ASUS and glad I'm going to pass on it.

Lg

comparing monitors and one of them is 300 dollars more expensive

Lg is the best monitor I had ever seen
