Excellent Monitor For Productivity
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I searched and reviewed monitors for quite some time before selecting this one, and its perfect for my use case. I typically use it for productivity tasks where I can view multiple files and websites at once. I don't use it for gaming. While reviewing I found there are just so many monitors available it can be overwhelming, so I've listed out the main reasons why this monitor stands out. 1. IPS screen Great viewing angles. I purchased a Samsung 34" but those are actually VA panels, so on a widescreen unless you sit far back, you will get a lot of distortion when looking left and right since the monitor is so wide. So IPS is really a must have for widescreen monitors and this one has it. 2. Resolution This is a complicated topic. While on Windows you can change the scale (different from the resolution), this is only supported for certain monitors on a Mac and appears as scale rather than resolution (they munge both together on Mac). That means with a 4k screen if scaling isn't supported for your monitor, everything is insanely tiny and unreadable on a Mac. While you can get some programs that hack to try and support scaling, it seems to be hit or miss and they might stop support in the future. So on a Mac the resolution of this monitor is HD and is actually perfect for me, not too big and not too small being HD resolution. I also got a QHD 34" before this and text also is quite tiny, and if you change the resolution to HD, it looks quite bad since it isn't the monitor's native resolution. This is HD natively, so everything looks good at that resolution. If I had Windows though I might consider going for a higher resolution monitor and use the scaling function, but then the price rises dramatically. Basically HD for this monitor is 2560x1080, QHD for the same size is 3440x1440. They don't seem to make 4k 34" but LG has a 34" 5k that would be 5120x2160. That one does support scaling on Mac however but it is very expensive. 3. Adjustable stand w/Vesa The monitor stand is adjustable so you can change the height. However I did find the platform sticks out in front of the monitor quite a bit so I'm purchasing an arm instead. It does support Vesa though so you can add your own which is a must. 4. Brightness This monitor does 300 cd/m² which is typically brighter than anyone would want to look at. There are a lot of monitors in this price range that only do 250, which may be too dim. 5. Speakers While not a must have, I was surprised to find the speakers to actually be quite decent and not as obtrusive as having left and right computer speakers. 6. Form factor The bezels are quite thin and the monitor overall has a sleek and minimalist look. I don't really like the stand but it is definitely sturdy and handles movement very smoothly.

SCAN LINES — NO GO!!
|Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.Features
Quality2 out of 5Value1 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5SCAN LINES! Just got the monitor today... all excited to have a long monitor for my design work. I didn't at first notice it, but there are now very noticeable scan lines that run across the monitor. It makes it extremely distracting—especially for any kind of design work, or video work. Very disappointed. Not only that, but it's very dark and there is no adjustment nobs, buttons or peripherals. Save your money and get a better monitor. Unless you're okay with looking at wonky lines all day.

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: 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.

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: 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.
