Our Verdict
LG 34GP950G-B
Gigabyte M34WQ
The Gigabyte M34WQ is slightly better than the LG 34GP950G-B. The Gigabyte has better ergonomics, much better reflection handling, and a wider horizontal viewing angle. It also has an optional backlight strobing feature, which can improve the appearance of motion. On the other hand, some people might still prefer the LG, as it has a faster response time, especially at 60Hz, and it has native support for NVIDIA G-SYNC technology.
