Our Verdict
LG 34UC79G-B
LG 32UD59-B
The LG 34UC79G-B is slightly better than the LG 32UD59-B unless dark room performance is a priority. The 34UC79G-B has an IPS panel, which has a higher native refresh rate and much wider viewing angles, as well as lower input lag. The 32UD59-B has a VA-type panel, which has better dark room performance but worse viewing angles. It also has a higher native resolution.
