Overview

Tom's Hardware’s expert reviewers have put the LG X34 OLED through extensive testing to determine whether it delivers the performance gamers and creators expect while keeping the price competitive.

Display Quality

The X34 OLED covers over 95% of the DCI‑P3 color space, which is typical for non‑quantum‑dot OLED panels. This provides vibrant SDR and HDR visuals without the added cost of a quantum‑dot layer. The monitor also includes a precise sRGB mode and additional gamut selections for common standards, making it suitable as a reference display for post‑production work.

  • 95% DCI‑P3 coverage
  • Accurate sRGB mode
  • HDR support
  • No quantum‑dot layer – lower price

Ergonomics and Design

The design is understated with subtle textural elements on the rear housing. The stand offers a 5°/15° tilt range, 15° swivel, and 4.7 inches of height adjustment, allowing a comfortable eye‑level position for the curved screen.

  • Slender upright
  • Rock‑solid movements
  • Height, tilt, and swivel adjustments
  • Curved screen optimal viewing

Gaming Features

Hot‑key assignments on the quick menu give instant access to picture modes such as Action, Racing, and Sports. OLED‑specific care options like a pixel orbiter and regular refresh routine help mitigate burn‑in risk.

  • Refresh routine to fight burn‑in
