LG 34UM95 34-Inch Ultra-Wide QHD Monitor Review

[eriko]

4k gaming is amazing but demand alot from the computer hardware. Just got a dell 3214 and its hard to describe how much better the picture/emersion is with the way higher definition in the picture quality and still came from descent 2560x1600 before that.

Yes, I do imagine that to be the case, hence why we are all here reading the review.

I'm not sure the hardware yet exists in a mobile platform though, and I'm including my crossfire M18x in that synopsis too... as I'm past building desktops now.
Playing on "full" hd (LD? Low definition) feels like a joke once you get to know uhd/4k

I wish I had space for one of these monitors.

QHD or Quad-HD is actually 2560x1440 (4x qHD, quarter high definition, 960x540). UHD is 3840x2160 (or UHD-1 if you prefer). But everyone seems to be confused about who's saying what these days. However it seems they're underselling this spec, as 3440x1440 is above QHD but maybe because it's not UHD they have to call it QHD? ROFL. Jeez, I just confused myself reading that... This crap is really a mess these days.

4K is 4096×2160, which is funny because most Tv's/monitors are saying this but are really UHD...LOL. You'd think someone would buy one then sue saying hey, 3840x2160 isn't 4K, and it also has to do with encoding (rates, quality & color depth) not just that pixel# so lying two ways when doing this kind of and they KNOW it. Maybe lawyers are too stupid/ignorant to start the lawsuit?

Yea it is pretty confusing... I've definitely seen 3840x2160 called QHD (I've also seen it called UHD). I've got a couple 2550x1440 monitors and never connected them with "QHD" but doing a web search I see it's pretty common also. I've also got a 4k and 5k cameras (I've had to deal with the 4096/3840 issue) so you'd think I'd know the lingo. I generally use "4k" to describe both 3840 as well as 4096 but I've also been calling it QHD (which clearly I'm going to have to stop doing)... but 3840 is by far the more common playback format so I generally encode to that.
