VA, IPS or OLED for an ultrawide?
Reviewer consensus
The reviewers we read frame it as a trade-off: VA panels (Dell S3425DW, Sceptre, several LGs) deliver strong contrast and deep blacks at lower prices but can show some smearing; IPS (LG 34U650A-B) offers wider viewing angles but lower contrast; QD-OLED (Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 lineup, Alienware) wins on contrast, color and response time but costs the most and carries burn-in and brightness caveats.
