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

My son is picky about gaming monitors with regards to latency and color accuracy. If you don’t know what this means exactly and you’re shopping for a decent quality gaming monitor for your kid, translation- this is a good one.

Great quality monitor for the price!

This monitor was just what I was looking for. I love how much screen real estate I now have.

Quality graphics, like the wide screen

LG is a dependable brand and this monitor is no exception. Makes using programs like premiere pro much easier and at a great price. Definitely suggest it for editing rigs.

Thinner and lighter than I expected. True plug and play, my windows PC recognized it with zero setup. The tabletop stand is effective (stable, tilt, no rotation) but unattractive IMO. I’m going to buy another for a different room and wall mount it since it is vesa compliant.

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.

Im using it for work so it works well.

I am delighted with this monitor. The usable real estate for gaming, graphics, research or anything else you might need multiple windows open for is amazing. The split window functionality that is part of the package is fantastic for Business, Socializing as well as Gaming. I have Vision conditions that heavily influenced my choices. I need large bold fonts & larger scaled UIs... 34 inches has ample room for customizing. Nyctalopia, which is commonly referred to as Night Blindness, affects my ability to distinguish details in dim lighting as well as darkened scenes on TV & dim gloomy heavily shadowed Time of Day & ambiance effects, evening, night or weather conditions in Game screens. Websites with Light Fonts on Dark backgrounds are mere smudged blurs & their content unreadable. My most recent previous Monitor was the LG 34UM58 which I gifted to my sister after 2 months use... Its only fault was a max brightness of 250nits. This one goes up to 300, I currently have contrast maxed & brightness at 260 Many of the LG Monitors, such as this one, have the Black Stabilizer feature which improves visibility in dark scenes... for me as a long time WoW player I can still see to play :) I cant comment on how the Freesync works since my Graphics card doesnt support it, but so far I havent found anything about this monitor not to like <3

This monitor was very reasonably priced and works well for my needs. I use multiple desktops under Windows 10 with a variety of apps open at once. This 34 monitor is a much better form factor for me than the 2x22 monitors I was using before this.
