The LG 34GP83A-B has the same style as the majority models of UltraGear monitors that blend the sleekness with some gamer-centric aesthetics. It features a glossy black finish with some red elements in a few discrete areas, to avoid looking unattractive like its competition. The screen is completely bezel-free with three edges, which means you’ll not be distracted when enjoying the wide display that the monitor offers.

The LG 34GP83A is mostly composed out of plastic and it is of a very good quality. Its stand does not much space on the desk despite holding such a large display. It offers easy tilt and height adjustment options so that is great.
