LG 29UM68-P 29-Inch 21:9 UltraWide IPS Monitor with FreeSync

This is my first ultrawide monitor. I've been using a 27" and a 22" dual setup for a while and my 27" just died so I needed a new one. I decided on this one after basically thinking about how cool gaming would be on it, and the price was good so I tried it; and I'm definitely going to be using an utrawide setup from now on. It looks so good next to my 24" monitor (the 29" ultrawide is actually just a little shorter than a 24" monitor) and it's light enough to use an arm mount on it, which I love. The picture is fantastic, however, when I first bought it, I was very disappointed in the picture. The blacks were awful, the whites were very yellow and the contrast was really bad. I went online and found some Reddit forums about this monitor and the color issues I as having with it, and found out that I just needed to adjust some setting. After the setting changes it looks sooooo good. I've never had an issue with my 22" HP monitor but after seeing the white and black levels with my new setting this monitor, my 22" is starting to look worse in comparison to this one. I'm definitely going to be replacing it and probably with another one of these monitors.I'm using it for gaming and movies, and it is so cool playing in ultrawide in games like Fallout 4 and ESO. 2d games will either stretch to the size of the monitor or leave black bars on the side to keep the 16:9 aspect. The black bars are most peoples biggest issue but it never really bothers me. Even better than the gaming is watching a movie, movies are awesome on this monitor. I watch so many movies and I'm still surprised at how many movies are set in 21:9 widescreen, which is this monitors aspect. Of course any movie that has a native aspect of 16:9 will also either get stretched or have black bars on the side. When it comes down to it, most movies are in widescreen but most, if not all TV shows are set in 16:9 so Netflix and Hulu shows will all have black bars on the sides. Luckily I have the 22" monitor to use for those shows but even with the black bars it's still totally watchable on this monitor.Overall, this is totally worth buying. I think I might go with the 34" and a 27" 16:9 next to it next time, but for now this is just an awesome monitor. Just remember to changes the settings. Play around with the brightness and contrast settings but first, change the gamma to 0. The gamma is set to 1 on default and it makes everything look yellow. After that it's a good idea to pick a good black stabilizer setting; I just kept adjusting it until I found a black level I liked. After that, its all about whatever you settings you think look best.I hope this helps. Thanks

I have to say it took awhile to get used to this thing. I moved from an older Asus gaming monitor 21" to this monster. It's much shorter than I realized and I was afraid that it would be awkward to use since I've never experienced ultra wide monitors before. This monitor is amazing but it's definitely something you have to play around with. The screen real estate is plenty for research and multi tasking. I'm not a rich person so I guess in my mind it boils down to this: if you are a multitasker with a small budget and don't mind a slightly older monitor, but still want an ultra wide and don't mind playing around it's a perfect fit. Within days I had fallen in love with it. I'm using the DP connection to get 75Hz and an amd gpu to utilize freesync and once I started gaming it all made sense fairly quickly. This thing is dirt cheap and lightning fast, I'm not Chuck Norris on CS:Go I don't need an absurd refresh rate or response time on the bleeding edge of technology, I mostly do research for work, watch youtube and play Warframe. The settings for font clarity and refresh rates really only took 5 minutes to figure out and I was rolling. It's amazing how big of a difference 60Hz to 75Hz is. When playing games you are absolutely immersed in the gameplay, with beautiful colors, sharp crisp lines and a huge amount of fov. There is nothing in months of research for my new ryzen pc that came close to this for the price and I'm very glad that I have this thing. It feels and looks like monitors twice the price with stats that fall center field where others always seem to fall short in at least one category.

But very close. For starters let me say that the screen size is just massive when you are coming up from an old 20.1in Viewsonic. To be able to literally multitask with this is a dream. Gaming is also much better of course. Freesync operates nicely and I can now switch off VSYNC in games for a fps boost.However, the problems..which aren't all that much really. But I want to subtract a star as to bring attention to those who may be looking at this monitor and dreaming.To start, I'd avoid getting it here. This thing arrived in a very massive box with just a tiny piece of paper for packing. So of course it was likely thrown about a lot inside. Thankfully LG packaged it properly and it wasn't damaged. But that is par for the course in my experience.Starting up the monitor I found something curious, the color temp and just the overall contrast and sharpness of the image on screen was a mess. Actually gave me a headache till I finally got it adjusted. The "Game Mode"s that preset the color, brightness, contrast/etc, are not all that good. In fact I finally played around in the monitor's menu and found a photo mode. After turning down the brightness a little I found this mode to be the best on the eyes and also gave the best clarity for text and images. The other modes produced either poor color recreation or the text just became rather hard on the eyes.Never had a monitor right out of the box be hard on the eyes for both light and text. Took a bit of tuning to resolve this.Thankfully my headache went away after I got this screen adjusted. Keep in mind, you may have to also tune the color temp in your GPU's control panel. I found I had to drop from a 6500K to a 5300K from my old Viewsonic to this. If I didn't, the images had too much blue in them.Documentation for doing a lot of this stuff is rather poor. In fact there really is none. You have to load the manual from the disk and it isn't the greatest.This was a lot more work than I've had to do with other monitors where you just messed with color temp, brightness, contrast, and done. To make matters worse, the monitor doesn't tell you all the settings for some of the modes so if you want to enable more game oriented settings with the photo mode, you can't.To have to fine tune both the monitor and the GPU so much was unexpected. I'm sure some users will not be happy with this and will likely return the monitor figuring it is broken from the start.Next the split screen feature actually isn't all that handy. It literally reconfigures the windows on the screen to fit what you want. So when you come out of it, you have to rearrange them all over again. I actually found it easier to just manually configure the windows in the arrangement I wanted. With the amount of space on this it is very easy to do.Unfortunately the issues with that mode don't end there. They actually crop up when loading some games as the monitor gets confused as to what mode it is in. I finally just turned off the monitor software and gave up on it.Gaming performance is rather nice even when not in an actual "game mode" on the monitor. I don't really notice any extra view range like some note but it certainly is a very gorgeous display.The question now comes down to, would I buy it again? My other option at the time was a 144Hz Viewsonic gaming monitor. To pick a 75Hz monitor over that was mostly because I have more uses than gaming for it and I needed the improvement in multitasking.As a multitask monitor this is fantastic. I don't have room for dual monitors but I have room for this and it handles just like if I had two monitors.As a gaming monitor, will I miss 144Hz? Frankly not really. I don't have a standard for that as I've never spent a lot of time with 144Hz monitors. Is this better than my 11yr old Viewsonic 20in? Of course.So when it comes to buying it again, after taking into account the extra work to set it up, sure. But at full price I'd hesitate and look at other monitors. I jumped because this was on a 199 deal and at that price point it was a steal (I had been watching these ultrawides for some months so I knew how low they had been going), but at full 299+, I think I'd probably hold off. Maybe check competitors more. I have no history with LG panels so if this holds up as good as my old one, don't know. Viewsonic had always been alright to deal with when it came to repairs/etc. Guess I'll find out.Great multitask monitor, great gaming monitor, not so great initial setup and tuning. Remember that if you start getting a headache on set up.

Bastante recomendable la calidad del producto, sin fallas

This is replacing a 23" LED display. This has the same screen height, but has considerably more horizontal space. Check out [...] to see the difference. Two web pages fit side by side with no need to scroll sideways.Gaming support for the resolution is actually very good, though there are a few games that I've had trouble getting to display properly. It doesn't seem to be dependent on the age of the game though. I've played Age of Empires III and it works perfectly. Fallout 4 refuses to display full screen no matter what I do. I wouldn't let that deter you from purchasing. The immersion while playing any game is really increased with the wider field of view. Performance impact using a GTX 970 was negligible compared to 1920 X 1080.Colour and image quality is what you would expect with a monitor at this price point. Fine for gaming, but I suspect that photography geeks may want to look elsewhere. This monitor has the best U.I. I've ever used. A mini joystick on the bottom is also the power button. It sounds like a bad idea, but is actually very intuitive. You only have to use it once, and then you'll be able to make adjustments in the dark. Very glad I took the plunge into ultra wide.

Llegó antes de tiempo y en perfectas condiciones. La calidad en los colores es perfecta, además de que las dimensiones del monitor ayudan a mejorar la eficiencia.

Sharp and clean, just plug and play monitor. Easy to manage. No dvi connector only 2 hdmi and one displayport. not like the picture.

J’aimé!!
