> 3 daySo 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.

Greater than one weekThis is an excellent budget ultrawide for developers. The screen splitting is really useful for CLI and debugging tools.

> 3 dayOne of these days, zero star reviews will be available. The LG 34UM60-P monitor looks good on paper, however, does not truly deliver the quality screen/pixel resolution that it advertises. It just makes things bigger. More frustrating, the internal speakers do NOT operate and LG currently is not offering Customer Service. In lieu of writing a poor review first, I thought Id give LG Customer Service the opportunity to troubleshoot/resolve this issue by sending them an email, then calling them, then attempting to use their OnLine LiveChat engine. All 3 methods failed. This monitor is advertised to be equipped with internal speakers and the product manual includes instructions for the internal speakers. The speaker grills are located on the bottom of the screen frame on either side of the monitor stand/mount. Out of the box, the internal speakers do NOT operate. Sound does operate with monitor volume control through the HEADPHONE JACK located at the rear lower center of the monitor. LG Customer Service 800-243-0000 isnt helpful as they are closed at 230PM PDT!!!!! Really? If I do not hear from LG in 24 clock hours, then this product will be returned to Amazon as DEFECTIVE. The online LG LiveChat is too busy to place a Chat request in the queue, however, it will lie to you and say you are in the queue when youre really not.
