LG UltraWide

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Cons mentioned:SpeakersI've read the posts prior to buying this monitor and now as an owner, I have to agree with a previous poster. He said, at first it was weird but now he won't use anything else. I agree. After using standard monitors all my computer life, having this UltraWide took some getting used to. Now after using it for some time, I won't give it up either. It's really great for multi-tasking. I have multiple screens up at the same time and I can see this would have real value for spreadsheets. Some of the web sites I go to now display the entire grid of data without me having to scroll back and forth to the edges. Because it has a 21 by 9 aspect ratio, what needs to be accepted is if you do a web search, sometimes you'll have a lot of white space on the side. Also, some of the sites that I stream from don't fill up the entire screen and you will have black space on each side. In addition, it does not have built-in speakers or a webcam. In my case, neither one of those is an issue. Something to consider if that will bother you. If this one dies on me, I'll be replacing it with another UltraWide. There's no going back.

This is a good monitor to work and entertain
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5Cons mentioned:SpeakersThis one has unique wide 2560 x 1080 resolution, so it is good to view video (the monitor still has black unused area on both sides of the screen even with wide screen video) and work. Regarding work, it is good to use two files, for example two powerpoint slides, side-by-side at the same time. This one has only one control stick which can be pressed and moved in four directions to setup and control power. The monitor turns on when this stick is pressed. To turn off, you have to press this stick to bring menu and push up to select turn off. One issue I found is, this model does not have speakers. Maybe the perforated area looks like speakers are actually made for ventilation. Initially, I thought the speakers are malfunctioning, but figured out that this model does not have speakers. I am fine with this, however, this should be informed before purchase to the customers, because some may need it.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionUnder the specs it says "Curved Screen YES" but it doesn't appear to be curved in the pictures. I'm hoping it's not. Can anyone tell me if this is a curved screen?
Asked by Lyle.
- A:Answer Not a curved screen.
Answered by Nat67
Q: QuestionWhat is the actual height of the screen. (viewable space) Not the diagonal measurement, with it being extra wide I am trying to figure out how tall my picture is.
Asked by Brad.
- A:Answer Hi Brad. The height for the panel on the LG 29'' Class 21:9 UltraWide FHD IPS Monitor with HDR10 (29'' Diagonal), Model # 29WL500-B that includes the bezels is listed at 12.5" and the bezels around the monitor are 1 cm thick (i.e. o.394") so if you subtract 0.788" (i.e top bezel and bottom bezel added up) from the listed height, the viewing screen will have a height of 11.712"...^IFV

Q: Questiondoes it work with Mac Pro connect via HDMI?
Asked by Leon.
- A:Answer It might be. I have a MacBook Pro M1 and I connect it to Monitor without any issue. I also purchased USB-C to HDMI cable since MacBook Pro M1 has 2 thunderbolt port.
Answered by Alex
Q: QuestionHas anyone who bought this monitor used it for graphic design? (I.E. Photoshop, video editing, drawing software, etc.) I'm interested in a widescreen for drawing and want something color accurate, but I can't break the bank. Thanks in advance!
Asked by Mythic.
- A:Answer To more fully realize content creators’ vision, this monitor is compatible with industry-standard HDR10 high dynamic range, supporting specific levels of color and brightness that exceed the capabilities of ordinary monitors. This monitor, with 99% coverage of the sRGB spectrum, is a great solution for photographers, graphic designers or anyone looking for highly accurate color. On-Screen Control 2.2 allows you to take fast, easy control of essential monitor settings including picture, audio and Screen Split with just a few clicks of your mouse. With FreeSync*, gamers can experience seamless, fluid movement throughout hi-res, fast-paced games. FreeSync virtually eliminates screen tearing and stuttering. ^CP

Q: QuestionIs this a good monitor for gaming?
Asked by Chelsea.
- A:Answer It is an excellent monitor, 75 hz refresh rate makes motion much faster, 5ms input lag leaves something to be desired, but the IPS panel is worth it. It is almost too wide for gaming, there is a lot of screen space for your eyes to cover. It is great for co-op games in steam. But otherwise it's going to come to personal preference. I actually love it and primarily use it for gaming, it just takes some getting used to.

Q: QuestionIs this OK to connect with new M-1 Mac Mini 2021?
Asked by takmacuser.

Answered by LGAnswers
Q: QuestionCan you open multiple docs with enough space to see all at once?
Asked by Bean.
- A:Answer Yes. Two documents side by side works best. Could squeeze 3 but gets hard to read. I bought two monitors and use them side by side - 2 docs, Outlook, and cascaded directories all open and readable at the same time.
