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

This is my first ultra wide monitor, which replaced my 27 Apple display. I was surprised by the picture quality and build quality, especially since this model was a lot cheaper than the models available with the same specs (ASUS, Dell, Other LGs, etc.). I was thinking about investing $300 more to purchase the Asus MX29UC 4K monitor, but Im glad I did not. My main use for this monitor is for data analysis. My current workflow with this monitor seems a bit smoother, and the transition from a dual monitor setup was surprisingly easy. The LG screen split software is also amazing to use, but its not any different from using dual monitor setups with 4+ windows open. You are mostly limited by windows that snap to the screen, which means that the screen split modes are fixed and adjusting some of the windows to your preferred size is a bit annoying once in a specific screen split mode. Also, it seems that it takes a little bit of work to get the Mac OS to drive 2560 x 1080, or a 21:9 aspect ratio. Once you get through the display settings, the monitor is truly wonderful to use. I currently have my work computer (2013 MacBook Pro) connected to this monitor through mini-display port to Display port. I also have it mounted to a Vivo VESA mount. One thing to note: the monitor description mentioned HDMI, and USB-C ports. However, the monitor that I received had a Display port and HDMI, and no USB-C. You might want to check the images of the back panel for confirmation of existing ports before purchasing.

So I shopped around quite a bit before landing on this wide screen. In my price range I finally decided that LG was the best fit but then I was amazed at how many different models there were just in the 34 size! The reason I chose this one? There were certain features I thought were critical in choosing an entry level wide screen monitor: 1) Size, 34 seems to be the sweet spot. Not sure why someone would buy a 29 widescreen. Seems like a waste for what youd get. 34 on the other hand provides a pretty amazing viewing experience. 2) The Display Port connection. The monitor for my other computer is a 27 4K with a Display Port and it does make a huge difference. Using HDMI you cant get the 60mghz needed to obtain the kind of picture youd want with this widescreen experience. 3) The price was certainly right! The higher end wide screens with 144ghz rates are just too expensive. At $300, this particular LG model is a fantastic value IMHO. 4) Yes this model does force you to give up having an adjustable stand but Ive rarely used the adjustment with my previous monitors so I dont really miss it here. 5) Easy setup with the ability to customize. This unit was easy to setup and adjust for all of my games. It is a terrific gaming monitor for casual gamers like myself. I do wish the power / setup button was in a different place, but Im used to it now. All in all, I dont think you can go wrong with this monitor. Im very happy with my purchase. And the delivery was right on time with the unit was received in perfect unopened condition, exactly as described. So unless you want a top of the line monitor for some big time gaming or video work and have upwards of $1,000 to spend , I think this would be a really good choice.

I have been using the LG ultrawide for a while and still like it.

Great for multitasking. Easy on the eyes. Love the size.

I have two of them. Last one gave out after a year for some reason.

Really love the size and unique lenth of the screen. Cant beleive I didnt or havent got two of these.

I got one 4 months are go and this is me 2-en one

Cheap little wide screen. The overall screen looks pretty good. Even though it is a 29 inch, but it look so small. but small then I expect. I have tried it different game, the screen couldnt handle it. But again, I didnt buy for game. I buy for a certain medical software what I use. It serves its purpose. But it is nothing to praise about this monitor. I really dont like the wabble feeling of the monitor. It is so unstable. But overall , it has no problem and it works well with what I do.

I will admit ...when I took it out the box, I got very excited. Love the size.... looked to be built tough but as you can see its not. Also those pics they have up should be considered false advertising. No dual hdmi and no display port...... hurts my heart to have to now go spend money to get another one. Might go for asus but definitely will be avoiding the seller I got this from.

Nice monitor, has a great picture and love that you can run multiple pages on same screen, can also have spreadsheet open and not have to scroll across screen to see tabs.
