LG - 29" IPS LED FHD 21:9 UltraWide FreeSync Monitor

I was a little hesitant about purchasing this monitor as I wasn't sure I would like the widescreen effect. I mostly use it for gaming, and mostly for MMO's, such as World of Warcraft. I spent hours in the store comparing screens and deciding what I wanted. My system can easily handle 4K monitors, however, as I was standing there looking at the monitors on display, this one in particular kept standing out to me. The colors were more vibrant, the blacks were darker. This monitor happened to be on sale for an amazing deal and I snagged it up, especially because it was the last one in the store. I am SO glad I did. Playing games on this thing is amazing. I have a pretty decent graphics card and gaming rig so the resolution isn't ever a problem. I just LOVE having that wider field of view on my games. I'm considering purchasing a second one because, why not? I would highly recommend grabbing one of these, especially at the deal I just got.

I purchased two of these monitors to use with my Alienware 17 R4 laptop. One is on the left, one on the right with the laptop in the center. The 23:1 format of these ultra wide monitors gives the desktop real estate of 5 standard monitors. They are sharp and clear and were well priced at Best Buy. My only complaint is that I was not able to mount them on the monitor arms I already had in place, due to the fact that the power and HDMI ports are directly under the place where the mounting plate attaches. I could cobble together a stand off and get right angle connectors for this, but it seems like a dumb place to locate the ports. If the ports were located better this would definitely rate 5 stars.

I was skeptical about buying a 29" ultra wide monitor as I was shopping for a 32" at the time. This was on sale during black Friday and I jumped on it. So far it's alright, no problems yet. The stand feels pretty cheap to be honest, but it does allow you to pivot your monitor. Headphone jack is expected, has one HDMI port and one display port. That's it. Should have at least a 2nd HDMI port, but oh well. I tried the next day to get a 2nd monitor and they were sold out. That should tell you something about it. It's a good alternative to a 32". You will see an increase in workflow space as I use it for editing videos/photos. It's also pretty nice for gaming. Wish I could've found a 2nd one.

This monitor was primarily purchased for home office use with Microsoft Excel. It is amazing for that. Using Excel on any other monitor is now a chore. The ultra wide ratio is perfect for spreadsheets. The dual input option is very helpful. This monitor is shared by two computers. One is a Dell laptop (for work) and the other is a 2017 iMac (for play). It is easy to change the input source with the single joystick/button on the bottom of the monitor. I purchased this monitor during a Best Buy Deal of the Day. I highly recommend this monitor!

The colors look great and a lot of games work with the widescreen resolution, especially newer titles. Overall i'm really happy with how it looks and how much space i have on my desktop when i'm not gaming.

Awesome monitor with great viewing angles. The free sync feature is pretty nice as you can hit 75hz on games etc. I will write this if your debating wether to get a 29”or 34”definitely get the 34”. This monitor is being donated to my sons setup as I ordered a 34”.

I am semi retired and use an excel spread sheet multiple times during the day. The options the UltraWide monitor has given me makes me wish I had invested in it a long time ago. It really makes it easier on my eyes too!

So far this monitor has exceeded my expectations. Super clear picture, love the way overwatch looks on it. Can’t wait to get another one to hook side by side.
