LG 29UM59-A 29-Inch UltraWide FHD 2560 x 1080 IPS Gaming Monitor

Broke before I got to use it

The screen looks good. I really like the multiple documents I can place and view at the same time. However, the three stars come from the fact that this model is described on Amazon as having 2 HDMI ports. Just look at the picture and it shows it has one on your marketing picture. You have the specs for another monitor stating it should have two ports (It does not). Please fix this especially if someone needs to use two HDMI ports for game hookups.

Im using it for work so it works well.

Works great for Autocad work. Make sure you have an up-to-date video card that can handle the higher resolution - this is important! Also, use a good quality HDMI / Display port cable. Lower cost cables will not work. Have over a dozen of these and everyone loves them.

Quality graphics, like the wide screen

Really nice monitor, great for gaming and movies, one flaw is that in the pictures it looks borderless but in reality it has regular borders, which kind of sucks, thats why I give it 4 out 5 stars. If you buy it dont forget to set it to 75hz in the display settings.

Especially for the price, I am really satisfied with this really wide screen monitor. It is a little sad that for anything that would prefer full screen (such as games) is extremely impractical, and having black bars on videos is kinda bleh. But for what I bought it for: Having open my book, website, and spreadsheet without alt-tabbing, oh my god, I love it. This will easily pay for itself in the sheer increased amount of productivity I can get with it. I just wished there was an easy way to just mount this thing up above my primary monitor so that I dont have to have some awkward setup, and need to turn around to see the full screen.

Awesome monitors for us as a company and many of our customers. LG has really never let us down with a product.

The reason I got this particular monitor is because Id purchased its smaller, older sibling, the LG 29UM-68-P, and been extremely happy with it. Its basically the 2016 29-inch version of this monitor. Both are incredibly bright and crystal clear, and Ive never had a complaint about the 29 model. This one happens to be even cheaper (even at that time of this writing, $368 vs $299), so I thought, why not? For the most part, Im pleased with it, though color accuracy leaves something to be desired. Not only can I now see that the 29 model has a slight red cast, Im left with a slight green cast on the 34 (hard to see in the photo, but its there). Ive fiddled with settings but never been able to get either of them to match or get one or the other closer to pure white. I have half a mind to get a colorimeter because frankly it drives me a little nuts. Also, either because of the sheer size or because people complained, the VESA mount doesnt partially block the video connections (looking at you, 29) - everything is easily accessible. If this will be your *sole monitor* then I couldnt recommend it enough. If this will add to an existing monitor you might want to look elsewhere, or be prepared to spend time fidgeting with controls to get it to look right. Still, all that being said, I do love it, and if the news that NVIDIA will be adding Freesync compatibility in an upcoming driver release is true, Ill be even happier when gaming with it! Edit 1/15/19: The Freesync compatible NVIDIA driver released today and while its not one of the approved monitors it does appear to be working without any issues. I also bought a colorimeter but have yet to have any luck with it. Also, wanted to add that the joystick control is probably the easiest of any monitor control out there. Push away from you for up, towards you for done up to enter/select. I dont have to try and remember how to use it - its that intuitive.

Since I want to have a wide monitor to split into 2, I bought this item. But when I spit it, I have trouble seeing the contents from each side, especially for the words.
