Rather than repost a wall of text here I thought you guys might like to hear about my experience with LG's warranty support regarding my 34UM95 which developed backlight bleed 2 weeks after purchase.
I've posted about it on Reddit here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Monitors/comments/28vyaw/so_i_was_really_pleased_with_my_lg_34_ultrawide/
We have asked our distributor. This product currently has an unknown delivery time. The LG screens are called back because of a fabrication error in the backlight. At the moment it is not known when this model will be available.
I'm from the Netherlands and still waiting for mine, I ordered approximately 4 weeks ago. Apparently in the Netherlands these monitors are being recalled, someone contacted Max ICT and they said:
which
Interesting thanks for this, I just don't understand why LG have still not made an announcement about this and are basically hoping none of the current buyers will notice the problem.
You can't really assume that the backlight bleed issue applies to earlier monitors as well. It's entirely possible that they had a bad batch go out, assuming that quote is actually true.
I ordered from NE and mine is in transit from California according to UPS tracking. NE also sent the 4790k invoice today so I expect that to ship real soon. Pair that with 2 x 290x CF GPUs and I should be able to game very nicely on this monitor for years to come.
You're gonna wanna put two GELID Icy Vision Rev 2 coolers on those 290x's (crossfire). Those jet engine sounding furnace supernova cards get to 94-100c on the stock coolers.
Look at me assume.....you probably don't have the stock coolers. Nm.
The GELID is the best aftermarket cooler for 290x's though. Brings it's 94c down to 60-65c load. This is using good thermal paste and thermal glue, not the thermal pad crap that comes with the Gelid though
They are Saphire Tri-X OC cards. They got excellent cooling already.
Edit: Just realized I need to buy a display port cable still. Can anyone recommend a good brand. I assume they are all the same but not sure.
Btw, I don't remember if it's mentioned in this thread or not, but found out from another thread.....rumors about this monitor through the grapevine, and this is supposedly from distributors who talked to LG....this monitor is being recalled supposedly, and production has paused to fix "backlight fabrication" issues.
Latest from LG (again, rumor) is that we won't see more of these until August/September. Now, to clarify, there are stock at Fry's and what not, but that's the early design and you run the risk of backlight issues with those.
I have one of the early units, ordered near the end of May. Haven't noticed any real change as far as the backlight goes... there is a little bleeding in the lower left and right corner, but every IPS I've owned has had this to some degree. I guess if they noticeably improve the uniformity with a newer revision I'll just RMA mine when the time comes, but I'm fine with my unit - it's not perfect but again, no worse than any other IPS panel I've used.

Never heard of this rumor. Probably not true.
Can't find a legit source about this.

i1Display Pro is much better. I finally bought one to replace my Spyder4.
Just got an update on RMA of this Monitor. The retail that I bought this monitor from says they sent the LG 34UM95 to the producer (I guess to LG?) and the "producer" says that they didn't found any problem with the monitor and the retail just got the monitor back and already sent it to me today, so I'll received my half-broken monitor back by tomorrow. All of it took about 1.5 week I think.
I sent them an e-mail today and hopefully they'll take the monitor back and refund me my money or send a replacement. Hopefully they'll say "yes" to one of it.
Here is some pictures of my monitor after some weeks uses:

How many of you here have bad Backlight bleed (I guess thats what it call?) and when did your monitor got made (you can check it behind the monitor). Mine is from April 2014. Maybe monitor that's made after April is better?
This is an expensive monitor so I'll try everything I can to either get money back or a replacement but from what I read so far in here and other websites it seems that LG really got bad Support Service. So I guess I wouldn't deal with them directly but fight my case with the retail that I bought this monitor from or talk to people that will deal problem with Consumer and Retail stuff that you bought from Internet (I don't know what people call them in other contry hehe).
Crazy question here from a PC rookie. I'm building a simulator for Iracing and flying games. Would I be able to hook three of these up and run them with two Titan blacks. These monitors only have one display port and the aspect ratio is something to consider for thre of them running in surround. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
