The VA panel keeps the price down but doesn’t provide the viewing angles of IPS panels. I still found the spec’d 178 degrees more than adequate. Calibrating screen Eurostat Electricity Price (as of 1st Half of 2020), ** Consumption duration based on Initiative EnergieEffizienz (as of 2013)
The file will transfer across to the Desktop of the other computer. You can transfer files up to 2GB in size and speeds weren’t too bad. A 1GB file took around 2 minutes to copy across from a wired desktop PC to a wireless MacBook – that’s around 73Mbps. Keyboard shortcuts if you prefer There’s not much HDR content on YouTube but what there is looks pretty good. LG OnScreen Control and Dual Controller software If you need more power, the 35WN75C monitor I just mentioned supports up to 94W over this connection. That should power a 15 or 16” MacBook Pro. Using the built in USB hubAlthough its HDR support isn’t going to compete with an HDR TV, the large curved display still looks pretty good for gaming together with the up to 100Hz refresh rate and Freesync support. And that’s both connected to my PC but also an XBox Series X, although I’d love to see true ultra-wide support from the latest consoles in the future. The various picture modes are fairly self explanatory and mostly look far worse than the default custom mode for everyday computing. I’ll discuss colour accuracy shortly, but for the most accurate colours leave the monitor in its default Custom mode.
I confirmed the 99% sRGB colour accuracy but if you need to work in the Adobe RGB or DCI-P3 colour spaces the respective 73% and 80% results aren’t so impressive. Maximum brightness in default Custom picture mode is 282 nits If you turn on HDR in Windows, the monitor will automatically switch to HDR mode, with an HDR notification from the monitor’s On Screen Display. There are fewer Picture Modes when the monitors switches to HDR, and you lose fine monitor adjustments like colour adjustments. For windows management on a PC, I prefer to use Microsoft’s Powertoys with its FancyZones that lets you create custom windows layouts which can even be used with the built-in Windows Snap feature. Conclusions Another highlight of this display is the dual 7W out speakers, which provide excellent clarity but aren’t quite up to par with the higher-end monitors. Still, you can rest assured that it will provide you with higher sound quality than low/mid-end displays. When connected to my desktop editing and gaming PC with a Nvidia RTX 2070 graphics card, I’m using a full size DisplayPort cable which supports 100Hz and Freesync and I have a USB-A to USB-C cable connected to a USB 3 port on my PC so I can attach a fast card reader to the monitor’s USB ports to get full speed file transfers. Power usage at average brightness (around 180 nits)With this adjustment I measured the colour accuracy or Delta E (ΔE) of the screen both before and after calibration. Delta E is a metric for understanding how the human eye perceives colour difference with a value of less than 1 being not perceptible to the human eye. And a value between 1 and 2 being barely perceptible. Before calibration the average Delta E measured 1.77 and the maximum 4.59. These should be below 1.5 and 4 respectively. The colour calibration report that came with the monitor doesn’t specify the exact value, only that it achieved a PASS with the maximum Delta E under a rather unambitious target of 5. … and after calibration only AUO manufactures 35" wide-screens. I would be very surprised, if LG used a competitor's panel. But maybe they do it. Below is the EEID. I think it is not 100% accurate. This isn’t a terrible thing for the screen’s performance, but it is for its overall price-to-performance ratio, given how cheaper ultrawide monitors with 350 and 400 nits, such as the LG 34WN650-W, are easy to find. Using Freesync technology, this display can produce smooth visuals by eliminating screen tearing during casual use and gaming. Besides that, this monitor features a VA panel, which usually has excellent response time ratios. However, with 5ms GTG of response time, it is still not fit for the competitive gaming scene.
During our tests with fast-paced games, this monitor showed a bit of motion blur, but that wasn’t the worst part at all. It has a generous selection of inputs and the USB-C port is particularly useful if you have a laptop that can output its display and charge using this input. If you need more power over this USB-C port and built-in speakers, spend a little more on the 35WN75C. The LG 35WN73A or 35WN75C in the US is a curved 35” ultra-wide quad HD monitor with HDR, a 100Hz refresh rate, Freesync and USB Type-C connectivity that supports both display and power. The main compromise is the VA panel which did look a little washed out when I first switched it on, compared to my previous LG IPS panel. But viewing angles are still good and colours are fairly accurate out of the box and with calibration very accurate. And it covers 99% of the sRGB colour space which I imagine will be more than adequate for most of us, even though it’s not so impressive in the more professional Adobe RGB and DCI-P3 colour spaces. Screen uniformity wasn’t perfect by any stretch but I think acceptable for the price, and not something I really noticed apart from when measuring it.It’s also worth noting that this monitor features a barely ergonomic stand that allows you to adjust it in two positions – tilt and height. Considering how budget ultrawide displays tend to have only tilt support for their stands, the height adjustment is already a major improvement. Of course, if you need even more ergonomy, you’ll have to opt for an adjustable stand. It’s hard to confirm the spec’d 5ms response time, but I didn’t notice any issues with ghosting in the games I played and input lag wasn’t detectable either. Watching Netflix HDR content Some argue that an IPS panel is required for a monitor to be considered professional-focused. Still, as we’ll see in the image quality section, the color gamut and color coverage are also key aspects to look for in a professional monitor. The monitor supports a maximum resolution of 3440 x 1440 on all inputs, but only its maximum 100Hz on the DisplayPort and USB-C ports. If you connect over HDMI this drops to 85Hz. The monitor will accept and downscale a 4K input from for example an Xbox Series X or Playstation 5, but the refresh rate will drop again down to 60Hz.
