Color looks good, works for gaming , im not a hardcore gamer but from time to time , i played Far Cry New Dawn on it and looks pretty good, no issues nor complains.
The option to connect 2 laptops on the same monitor and handle them with the same keyboard and mouse its awesome, but only works with windows and macos , not with linux/unix but no complains.
the only part i dont like much is that the sw to split the screen, would be perfect if it can create a "virtual" monitor, so when you working remote, you can work like in 2 monitors, but thats ok...
And the price, a good deal would be $249.

Bright and beautiful, BUT...
The reason I got this particular monitor is because I'd purchased it's smaller, older sibling, the LG 29UM-68-P, and been extremely happy with it. It's basically the 2016 29-inch version of this monitor. Both are incredibly bright and crystal clear, and I've never had a complaint about the 29" model. This one happens to be even cheaper (even at that time of this writing, $368 vs $299), so I thought, why not? For the most part, I'm pleased with it, though color accuracy leaves something to be desired. Not only can I now see that the 29" model has a slight red cast, I'm left with a slight green cast on the 34" (hard to see in the photo, but it's there). I've fiddled with settings but never been able to get either of them to match or get one or the other closer to pure white. I have half a mind to get a colorimeter because frankly it drives me a little nuts. Also, either because of the sheer size or because people complained, the VESA mount doesn't partially block the video connections (looking at you, 29) - everything is easily accessible. If this will be your *sole monitor* then I couldn't recommend it enough. If this will add to an existing monitor you might want to look elsewhere, or be prepared to spend time fidgeting with controls to get it to look right. Still, all that being said, I do love it, and if the news that NVIDIA will be adding Freesync compatibility in an upcoming driver release is true, I'll be even happier when gaming with it!Edit 1/15/19: The Freesync compatible NVIDIA driver released today and while it's not one of the approved monitors it does appear to be working without any issues. I also bought a colorimeter but have yet to have any luck with it.Also, wanted to add that the joystick control is probably the easiest of any monitor control out there. Push away from you for up, towards you for done up to enter/select. I don't have to try and remember how to use it - it's that intuitive.
