Ultrawide~$800ASUS
The curve is the point here: 800R rather than the usual 1800R, so the panel wraps rather than leans — the tightest anyone puts on a 34-inch ultrawide, matched in this catalog only by LG's 34GS95QE, which uses the same LG WOLED panel. TFTCentral measured 1,170 nits peak against a 1,300-nit claim: an optimistic box number, and still the highest measured peak of any OLED here apart from LG's 32GS95UE at 1,324.

The two lists above come from the maker’s specifications and from published third-party measurements, not from owner reports. Where owner discussion has been read it appears in its own section below, so the two are never mistaken for each other.
This is the 34-inch ultrawide people buy for the curve. At 800R it wraps rather than leans, and the interesting thing in the owner reports is how consistently the anxiety about that curve turns out to be misplaced — the buyers who were nervous in advance generally report it being a non-issue, especially those arriving from Samsung's aggressively curved panels.
What does trip people up is the panel technology and the ports. Several buyers got deep into research believing they were ordering a glossy QD-OLED and caught it at the last moment; this is an LG WOLED, the same panel LG sells in its own 34-inch ultrawide, with a matte coating. That coating is the reason to buy it if your room is bright and the reason to skip it if your room is dark. On ports, an owner running a 4090 found the HDMI input capping at 180 Hz with the bundled cable and had to move to DisplayPort with compression to get the full 240 Hz — worth knowing if you were planning to keep DisplayPort free for something else.
The honest positioning: an excellent upgrade from IPS, a debatable one from a good mini-LED VA. An owner a week into ownership, replacing a Samsung mini-LED, liked it a lot and still questioned whether the picture justified what it cost in their market. Text is where WOLED gives ground, so if the same screen does long working days, factor that in before the gaming specs.
An owner with a 4090 hit exactly this and found the NVIDIA control panel offering no more than 180 Hz over HDMI with the supplied cable, while DisplayPort with Display Stream Compression enabled gave the full 240 Hz. Cable swaps did not change it. Use DisplayPort for the PC and make sure DSC is turned on in the monitor's menu; keep HDMI for a console, which does not need 240 Hz anyway.
It is an LG WOLED panel, and buyers comparing it with LG's own 34-inch 800R ultrawide are right that the two share it. That matters because the two panel families behave differently: WOLED here comes with a matte coating and a white subpixel, which helps brightness in a lit room and hurts text sharpness. More than one buyer nearly ordered this while specifically shopping for a glossy QD-OLED, so check which you actually want first.
The people who own it mostly say no, and that includes buyers who arrived from Samsung's more extreme curves and buyers who had never used a curved screen at all. Where it genuinely costs you is anything with straight geometry — spreadsheets, page layout, CAD — because the bend is deep enough to be visible on ruled lines. For games and film it reads as immersion rather than distortion.
Less of one than from IPS. An owner a week into replacing a Samsung mini-LED reported liking the format, the newer technology and notably better build quality, while also saying the picture was not the leap they expected because mini-LED already does contrast well — and they questioned the price difference out loud. From IPS or from an older VA panel, the change is much more dramatic.
This is the weak spot. An owner comparing it directly with the mini-LED panel it replaced named text clarity in browsing and general desktop use as the main thing they lost. The cause is the WOLED subpixel arrangement, which Windows text rendering does not expect; the ClearType tuner helps and integer scaling helps, but it does not become an IPS panel. If the screen has to do long documents as well as games, that is the trade to weigh.
