LG 34" Curved UltraWide WQHD (3440x1440) Smart: problems, parts and running costs
Checked: 2026-10-23
Summary
The LG 34SR60QC lacks DisplayPort, USB-C, and height adjustment, requiring owners to rely solely on HDMI 2.0 and a tilt-only stand [1][3]. Running costs are limited to standard electricity draw at 60 W typical with no replaceable consumables or subscriptions [1][3]. It is a good buy when priced below LG direct pricing of $329.99 for white and $299.99 for black [1].
Common problems and fixes
- No DisplayPort or USB-C input — encountered when connecting modern laptops or PCs; workaround is to use HDMI 2.0 or select the sibling model 34SR63QA; not covered by warranty as it is a specification limitation [1][3]. [1]
- Tilt-only stand — encountered when owners need height adjustment; workaround is to use the VESA 100 x 100 mm mount or choose the 34SR65QC series; not covered by warranty [1][3]. [2]
- Voice control requires separate Magic Remote — encountered when attempting voice commands out of the box; workaround is to purchase the Magic Remote (MR23GA) separately since the included remote is a standard remote; not covered by warranty [1][3]. [3]
Parts and consumables
No replaceable parts or consumables reported.
Yearly running cost
Typical power draw is 60 W from an external 19 V 3.4 A adapter [1][3]. No filters, pods, or subscriptions are required.
When it is a good buy
Priced at LG direct at $329.99 for the white variant (34SR60QC-W) and $299.99 for the black variant (34SR60QC-B) in October 2026 [1]. Alternatives include the LG 34SR63QA when USB-C is needed [1][3], and the LG 34SR65QC series when height adjustment is required [1][3].
