I purchased 2 of these monitors for a dual setup in the end of May and all of a sudden, one of them just stopped showing my screen and instead, constantly flickers pixels. I'm not happy.

SCAN LINES — NO GO!!

SCAN 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.

Price is spectacular!
Have used this monitor for a few weeks now, excellent for work and PC games. Favorite part is the ultrawide aspect that allows multiple full size windows to be open.
I also love the "reader" mode which dims the brightness and changes the hue to lessen the pressure on your eyes.
The only downside is that the resolution is not super duper perfect, which is expected due to lack of 4K (also no built-in speakers).

I love LOVE this monitor. Would I like it to have 4K and 144hz refresh rate? Yes, but do I expect that at this price point? No, and it has 75hz which is good enough for most people. For the price this is the best monitor you can buy, exclusively because of the aspect ratio of 21:9 ultrawide. It doesn't sound like a big deal over normal 16:9 monitors but the amount of stuff you can fit on this screen rivals having 2 smaller 16:9 monitors. The picture is crisp and colors are good. Would have liked more nits (brightness) as I keep mine at 70%-100% depending on the time of day and what I display. But then again, different price point. Has 2 HDMI ports, 1 3.5mm AUX, and the settings are fairly customizable. Would buy again

I loved the size! I constantly need to have many programs and tabs open because of my job, and struggled a lot changing from one window to another, but with this screen I can work so much faster by watching more than one window simultaneously.

I bought this when it was on sale at $199. For the price, you can’t really beat the size and ultra wide mode it gives you.
I use it generally for work (lots of excel, word) and I can easily fit 3 pages (side by side) on the screen. This works perfect for what I need.
It’s easy to hook up and I like how low the screen sits, and it’s easier for me to glance from left to right side. I think it might bother me if I got the 34” since it’s a little too wide to glance from one end to the other.
I actually hooked up to my Xbox one X and it works without any issues. But again, it suits much better for work use, since you are put documents side by side with ease.

Purchased the monitor to work from home and not disappointed. Needed more screen space than what my work laptop afforded and this monitor delivered. The 21:9 aspect ratio is perfect for anyone that needs to have multiple windows open at the same time especially Excel spreadsheets. Easy setup from laptop using the included HDMI cable. Note you may have to adjust the Display settings on your laptop to have the picture fill up the entire wide screen. Not using the monitor for gaming or watching movies but the picture looks sharp enough to handle those tasks adequately. You will be hard pressed to find another monitor at this price, quality and size.

I bought this spectacular ultrawide monitors for work. the value is superb and the quality and features is beyond. they are affordable and great for your workplace or home office. excel sheets are so easy now to work on. dont need to scroll to the right to see the colums. this will show all columns and work in one screen. great for split screen tabs. no need to open and copy and close. split the screen into to and side by side. tabs are easily fit side by side when doing so. your would work more efficiently and happier. i know i do.

Added this monitor to go with my older LG ultrawide monitor for a dual setup. Color and resolution on this were much better than the old one! I ended up ordering a 2nd to keep them uniform and ditched the old monitor I had. Love my dual monitor setup with these units and I would definitely recommend! Great monitor to stand alone or use with a 2nd. Plenty of space on the single monitor to split screens and complete tasks, but I work from home and wanted to upgrade my office with 2. Buy this and you won't be disappointed!

I needed the extra screen real estate an ultra-wide offered, but did not have the space to get 34" 4K. This definitely servers its purpose. Good sharp UFHD (2560x1080) display, and bright enough, it was a good upgrade when I realized that my standard FHD monitor just did not cut it in the new WFH environment. It certainly did not replace the dual monitors I use in the office, but it made my digital life a little easier. My only complaint is that the monitor is physically bezel-less on three sides, but it is not edge to edge (which would have saved on some space). But that is very minor.

Excellent Ultra Widescreen Monitor

This is the first ultra widescreen monitor I have ever bought, so I wasn't 100% sure what to truly expect from it. Let me tell you, the extra wideness of the screen was a bit weird at first, but after I got used to it, I completely love it. The overall image quality of this monitor is amazing. Such vibrant colors, razor sharp details, and of course, amazing viewing/display area. I'm not sure I can go back to non-ultra wide monitors now, since I'm being spoiled by this LG one right now. Definitely worth the money, if you're looking to upgrade to a newer, better PC monitor and/or just curious about trying out an ultra wide monitor.

I use for work. The screen viewing area is about as tall as the standard 23 inch monitor I was using, but is wide enough to put two windows side by side and comfortably work. You may have to adjust them a little, but it works well for the most part and is better than two separate monitors. This monitor itself is bright enough and has good colors. The stand can jiggle a little if you bump the desk, but overall this is a solid monitor. This was the cheapest ultra wide monitor I found, but the display quality does not feel cheap.

Great monitor and resolution. Ultra wide took some getting used to at first - but love it now. Allows split screen configurations for productivity so I could get rid the dual monitor set up - so saving desk space. That it was on sale was icing on the cake!

I'm an auditor so I need to look at multiple screens simultaneously in order to compare data. This screen is perfect. I work from home on many days and using my laptop was just annoying. This screen is large enough to fit 3 spreadsheets perfectly with some room to spare. I cannot imagine having anything larger than this. It was easy to set up. I mounted it on a 20 buck mount I found on Amazon. It was quick. Easy setup. Looks great. Came with the HDMI cable. Love it!

I got this for working from home, and it is basically like two of my laptop screens. It is super wide!! Clear picture, good resolution for the price, can't beat it. I do understand why they are starting to introduce curved screens, but for now this one is fine. Also important is i got it for a standing desk so the weight of the monitor was important to me. This one is light enough (@ 11 lbs) to accommodate any monitor mount.

You'll Adjust to the Wide Aspect Ratio in No Time

Bought this for my in-law and he was thrilled. The long aspect ratio is an easy adjustment even for a 65 year old. He does light gaming and photo editing, mostly tutorial videos, and spreadsheets for work. I like the resolution with the Monster HDMI he's using. There is a clear difference from his on-board Intel Graphics card running in his HP tower. Had I known the 34" was going to go on sale, we would have waited to purchase that one for just $200 more.
