[Daily Amazon Sale] Easy-to-use 34-inch. It's an LG ultrawide monitor.

Hello, this is Hamuocchi.
Recently, I've been wondering whether to introduce an ultrawide monitor.
Currently, I am using a 27-inch external monitor.
This is actually quite perfect as it is.
It is a sufficient size to combine with a MacBook or laptop, and I rarely have trouble writing or browsing.
However, when I am working, I find myself wanting a bit more width.
I want to keep my browser open while having reference materials on the right.
I want to have my editor open while lining up outlines and notes.
I want to use my workspace more broadly.
In other words, I want to line up two screens.
There is also the option of a dual monitor setup.
But it makes the desk cluttered, and the center bezel bothers me.
If possible, I want to obtain a horizontally wide workspace on a single screen.
That is why I am interested in LG's 34-inch ultrawide monitor.
Today's Gem
LG 34U511A-B
It is a 34-inch, 21:9 ultrawide monitor.
The appeal of this product is, above all, the balance between price and screen size.
Ultrawide monitors can be quite expensive if they are high-end.
When it comes to high resolution and high refresh rates, the price jumps up all at once.
However, this model is quite affordable.
At a price of 33,800 yen, you can get a 34-inch wide workspace.
This is quite impactful.
I am interested in an ultrawide monitor, but I am afraid to jump straight into a high-end model.
I want to try it out to see if it suits my work.
For such people, this is a very accessible unit.
That is exactly what attracts me to it as well.
Having extra width changes the way you work
The biggest appeal of an ultrawide monitor is its width.
With a 21:9 aspect ratio, you don't feel cramped even when placing windows side by side.
For example, you can put a browser on the left and a note editing screen on the right.
You can put reference materials on the left and your draft on the right.
This alone significantly reduces friction in your workflow.
You have to switch screens less often.
As a result, your train of thought is less likely to be interrupted.
For someone who writes, this is a big deal.
When I write notes, I often organize my text while looking at reference materials, product pages, and past notes.
Switching screens every time I do that breaks my concentration.
Having a wide screen isn't just about it looking impressive.
It's about creating an environment that minimizes distractions and helps move your work forward.
The IPS panel is also a plus
The LG 34U511A-B uses an IPS panel.
This is also good.
Because ultrawide monitors have such wide screens, viewing angles and color consistency are concerns.
If the panel changes colors easily when viewed from an angle, you might notice something off at the edges of the wide screen.
In that regard, an IPS panel offers relatively natural color reproduction and minimal color shift even when viewed from an angle.
Since it covers 99% of sRGB, even if you aren't doing professional photo editing or design work, it should be more than enough for everyday video watching, web browsing, and writing tasks.
Also, this model features a flat panel.
When it comes to ultrawide monitors, many are curved.
In terms of immersion, curved screens are also attractive.
However, flat screens have their own advantages.
Straight lines do not distort.
When handling Excel gridlines, documents, photos, or web pages, there is no discomfort unique to curved screens.
If you are thinking about it for work, many people will find a flat panel more reassuring.
100Hz smoothness
The fact that it supports 100Hz is also a welcome feature.
Compared to standard 60Hz monitors, there is less ghosting when scrolling, and screen movement feels smoother.
It might not have the same impact as a high-refresh-rate gaming monitor.
However, you can still feel the difference in refresh rate even at 100Hz.
Scrolling through web pages.
Moving documents.
Moving windows.
Just having those small movements become smoother makes it feel good to use.
If you work for long hours, this kind of comfort is important.
A monitor is a tool you look at all day, every day.
Therefore, there is value in having something that is less tiring for the eyes and makes movement look natural.
Points of concern
The biggest point to note is the resolution.
For a large 34-inch screen, the resolution is 2560x1080.
In other words, the vertical dimension is equivalent to Full HD.
I think this will be quite a concern for some people.
The width is wide.
But the amount of vertical information does not increase.
Furthermore, since the pixel density is not high for a 34-inch size, you may notice some roughness in the outlines of text.
You need to be prepared to accept this.
This is not a monitor for those seeking beautiful, high-definition display.
It is a monitor for obtaining a wide workspace on a low budget.
Summary
This is a very attractive monitor for those who want to try an ultrawide setup on a budget.
The price of 33,800 yen is quite a bargain for a 34-inch IPS ultrawide monitor.
You want to create a wide workspace while keeping costs down.
You want to use a single wide screen instead of dual monitors.
You want to try out an ultrawide monitor.
For those people, the LG 34U511A-B is recommended.
A wide screen changes the mood of your work.
