I've been an happy 29" UW users for a year now and I've decided that's time to upgrade my second monitor too, and this time I'd like to go even bigger. Although 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 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.Standard LG. Decent quality. I have a robust office desk but the screen wiggles a bit when typing on the keyboard. It's not terrible, but still... As I mentioned earlier you’re limited to 60Hz over HDMI with a 4K input, but that’s plenty for most games. No noticeable ghosting or input lag This panel not only has excellent image quality, but it also has excellent viewing angles, which, when paired with a decent brightness ratio, allows you to see the colors of every displayed image clearly. That’s why professionals usually lean towards the IPS instead of the VA when they need the higher color accuracy possible.

Unlike the 35WN75C version of this monitor, this monitor doesn’t have speakers built in but there’s a 3.5mm audio output to attach headphones or powered speakers. Inputs 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 At the very least, it supports HDR 10, though this is just another mediocre feature that can be found on far less expensive monitors. The UltraWide 35WN75C is a device built through the workers at LG. With 35 '' of display size, the UltraWide 35WN75C provides more than enough screen space, yet it could also take a lot of place on your workspace. The added panoramic length that comes with 21:9 enables the UltraWide 35WN75C's panel to be curved in contrast to the narrower screen proportionss, although not all 21:9 ones are curved. Connectivity Only the Custom mode lets you manually adjust the colours of the screen which you’ll need to do if you want to accurately calibrate the screen. I only had to make a small adjustment here, reducing the red channel from 50 to 48. Measuring colour accuracy or Delta E before …But overall if you’re after a large quad HD ultrawide monitor from a well known brand with an attractive design and a pretty complete feature set that isn’t going to break the bank, this monitor should be on your shortlist. 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. When it came to the brightness ratio, everything started to fall apart even further. Although 300 nits are more than plenty for 95% of users, I’m not going to lie: I was anticipating something in the 350 or 400 nits range at this price tag. The monitor has four inputs: 2 HDMI ports, one full size DisplayPort version 1.4 and a USB-C port that supports DisplayPort alternate mode and USB Power Delivery up to 60W. USB-C connectivity I measured the maximum brightness of the screen in the default Custom mode at 282 nits, a little less than the spec’d 300 nits. If you switch to the garish HDR Effect picture mode I measured 328 nits. In general use I have the monitor between 160 and 180 nits so this is plenty. If you want to use the monitor in true HDR mode, it’s not really bright enough failing to meet even the basic DislayHDR 400 standard, but I still found it a nice feature for gaming that I’ll discuss shortly. Adjusting colours

You need to turn on HDR in Windows HD Color Settings and choose one of the HDR gaming display modes for the best response times – FPS in this case. Selecting FPS gaming mode One advantage of VA panels is their contrast and I measured a decent 2350:1 contrast ratio, a little lower than the listed 2500:1 but still ok. Measuring unformity The PiP and PbP features are not available (or I haven't found them yet). Be careful - the original LG software offers "PiP" which actually means a floating window. 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 hub Samsung is a bunch of c**ts and they purposely limit the resolution to FHD. You can workaround this problem by rooting the phone and change some configs. It is solely marketing limitation.

I still found the spec’d 178 degrees more than adequate. Calibrating screen
