The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

My comment from last time this was posted.

The most commonly cited monitor in recent years for this is “AW3423DWF”… Which is AlienWare 34" from 2023, DisplayPort, WQHD, Freesync.

Point is, people see a lot of characters and complain when in reality it is exactly what you are referring to. The name is an encoded version of its capabilities. Its just that the encoding isn’t always clear because if every company used the same encoding they would have the same name. and if there are 2 similar monitors you would need to have every feature in the name to differentiate them, so the shorthand encoding becomes necessary. (Eg, AW3423DW and AW3423DWF only really differ on freesync vs gsync, thus the F at the end)

Can you decipher this one for me please?

34GP63A-B

Only the 34 makes sense.

So this is a LG Ultragear 34" monitor.

So you have

34 = the diagonal size, which is 34" in this case.
G = the line of monitors, so G for Ultragear
P = the year the monitor was made, which is 2021 in this case
63 = the placement in the line, bigger number is better
A = This I can't actually find. I think it's a feature set or possibly where you bought the monitor from. But it's probably just an internal code LG uses.
B = The color. So yours is black.

Ah yes, those make sense
