LG 29WN600-W UltraWide Computer Monitor 29-Inch WFHD IPS 1080p with HDR 10 Compatibility - Silver

I needed an extra monitor for relatives to use while visiting and working remotely. That meant ultra wide, good quality, and relatively inexpensive as it'll only be used a few months a year. I use a much higher end LG for my daily work and occasional gaming, and like the brand, so it's the first manufacturer I looked for. After comparing a half dozen models I chose this one. This monitor meets all those requirements and more. It's nicely designed and functional, and very inexpensive relative to other options of equivalent quality. The only downside is that it doesn't adjust up and down, it only tilts, but adding a monitor stand resolves that problem while making a more space-efficient solution. The refresh rate is not good enough for high-end gaming or entertainment, but as a work-from-home setup for office productivity it's perfect. All-in-all I'm glad I got it.

It is of good quality. The picture is bright, the colors are true. I use it mainly for family history research, and I love the width which allows me to research from two sites and go back and forth. I have no difficulty reading words and ancient handwriting, it has good resolution. I have not used it for gaming, so I can't report about that. I use the stand that came with it and it holds it well and at a straight angle.

This monitor is huge and wide enough for multi-task jobs. For me the resolution is good enough, try this.

I do a fair bit of video and audio editing, and was finding my elderly mid-2012 MacBook Pro’s (non-retina) display a bit lacking in real estate, and wanted something that would give me a good linear timeline view for editing work. I picked this monitor up because it was on sale — under $100 at the time (!!) — and was made by LG, who I have come to trust regarding screen-related things.I am not disappointed in this monitor, but I also knew what I wanted and wasn’t expecting more than I got, which is what seems to be going on in a lot of negative reviews. This is not a 4K OLED screen: it’s a 1080p, IPS monitor. Being IPS, it suffers from the light bleed and contrast issues that all IPS monitors have. That’s fine. It’s not 4K or even 2K… it’s a 1080p screen and, with HDMI, I can get 2560x1080 at 75 or 100Hz, whereas I’m limited to 60Hz over DisplayPort, (probably a limitation of my old MacBook’s use of DisplayPort 1.1). Also, if your computer's using an older version of DisplayPort, you need to manually select which version you’re using in the monitor’s on-screen menu, otherwise it’ll just tell you there’s no input detected.Mine’s also got a dead pixel that showed up about three months after I bought it, but I can’t rule out that it wasn't caused by me, and it’s just one pixel so it’s not particularly noticeable. The built-in speakers are actually pretty good, too! I normally use a Bose speaker system, but when I hooked this up my audio defaulted to the monitor’s speakers and, for a couple of hours, I didn’t even notice the difference. It has surprisingly good sound!It comes with a stand, but I didn’t bother with that; I have a dual-monitor VESA desk mount and used that instead (the monitor doesn’t come with mounting hardware but VESA-compatible screws usually come with the mounts and, if they don’t, are easily found).So, yeah… it does well for what I use it for, which is work, remote meetings, and some gaming. No Man’s Sky and Flight Simulator look amazing in 21:9 — especially with “HDR Effect” turned on — and having two web browsers or Word documents open side-by-side feels un-cramped, versus on a regular 16:9 screen where neither can be entirely “full-size”. It’s a solid, usable, *BUDGET* UltraWide and as long as you keep that in mind, I’d recommend it. If you’re looking for a high-performance screen with immaculate color reproduction, er… keep looking.Oh yeah… please forgive the absolute disaster of a desk I have in the included image.

Great ultra wide monitor for the price. The assembly and setup process is very simple and take no longer than a few minutes. This is more of a work monitor rather than a gaming monitor especially since most other monitors are well above 60hz in refresh rate at much better resolutions. But it works great for work.

Aside from having a small black dot from inside the screen, it's very good (as long as I don't focus on it)! Still going great since I received it in 2023. The curved stand design just happens to narrowly go around the power outlet on my desk, so to me it's practically perfect. I'm considering getting a second one.
