Great Or A Waste? - LG 29 inch 29UM58 / 29UM58-P 2560x1080 Ultrawide Monitor Review

[@janosmille7854]

I have this monitor. It's awesome. I use it for gaming, programming, video editing and watching movies.I RECOMMEND IT !

[@GoodsauceTech]

+János Mille Yep, it's a great buy!

[@chrisgaming8961]

does it look good when you have a small desk and sit close to the screen does it still look crisp

[@tpc9002]

Goodsauce Tech can’t connect to my pc but my MSI monitor is fine since connect by display port but successfully connected My MacBook Pro I have lg 25um56

[@henrik6968]

How is it, when watching movie, will it stretch the picture?

[@extirpatebabel]

@@henrik6968 Almost all movies are made is is this screen ratio. So it will definitely not stretch. You don't need worry about it. In fact, it will look more immersive.

[@MakoHazard]

I REALLY appreciate you putting that battery in there for scale. My biggest complaint on monitor reviews is people never show how big the monitor is or show its scale. Great job!

I was kind of on the edge of buying this monitor but I think you've just convinced me to buy it. Currently rocking two generic 60Hz, 1920x1080 monitors and am in desperate need of a new monitor. As someone who's a casual gamer, but avid movie/TV show viewer I think this is probably the nicest monitor for it's price point that I could buy.

[@dafinadavid6452]

Awesome review :) I have the 25'' version of this monitor and it works faboulous in so many ways. Not a profesional monitor but I can swear it works great for design too. My only concern is that it seems that LG stopped producing this model. In my country is out of stock and I would love so much if I could get the 29'' version. Is there any chance you would know a replacement for this model? To look and feel the same way, same ratio and same experience at the same cost? Big THNAKS :D

+Renso Ermolovich Squiquera No problem, glad you found them helpful! :)

[@JoeItYourself]

Thanks for the review bro :)

[@RicardoSousa-gy5hg]

This now has a 90€ discount in amazon. Do you think it is a solid choice to do some ultrawide gaming on a budget? Or do the response times, say between 5ms and a 1ms monitor matter that much? I play a lot of singleplayer campaign and racing/flight sim games and the casual cod4online, overwatch and csgo. Thanks

[@GoodsauceTech]

+Ricardo Sousa i use it for ultrawide gaming and I'm extremely happy with it. As for the response times, I'm 99.9% certain nobody can notice the difference between 1ms and 5ms. So yeah, don't even worry about those (in my opinion, of course)

[@RicardoSousa-gy5hg]

Goodsauce Tech Thanks, youre rly helping l. Just have to more things to ask that i cant seem to figure out trough amazon: Can the monitor be mounted to a regular 27" desksupport (cause i dont want the stand on the desk) and is the 29um68 worth the extra price. thanks

[@GoodsauceTech]

The monitor has holes for 75x75mm VESA mounting on the back, so if your support supports that, you should be good. When it comes to the 29um68 here is what it has extra over the 58: - It has FreeSync - It has an additional input (DisplayPort 1.2) Except that, they are basically the same, except minor differences in the way they look. Is it worth it? Well, if you know you'll be using AMD GPUs and want the FreeSync, yeah it might be worth it. If you're just rolling with nVidia it's definitely not worth it. And the extra input is just and added perk, not that much of a game changer to be honest.

[@RicardoSousa-gy5hg]

Goodsauce Tech Well im looking to put an rx 580 once I find one. but might just wait it out and buy accordingly to the gpu. Thanks a lot man. I love channels that answer and can be this informative. Keep it up ;)

[@RicardoSousa-gy5hg]

Scott I haven't found a game that worked bad with it. Already played Doom, Dirt Rally, Shadow Warrior, LoL, Overwatch, PoE, Half life2, Portal, Cs Go all without any problems. At least from hdmi, havent bought dvi yet. Anything just ask :)

[@thepostguy4392]

Nice video, just question; how wide and long is the stand's base? I need to know if it will fit and stand well on my table's upper deck. Thanks.

[@virathiyam5401]

Dear bro.. well done.. liked & supported👍. Assuming you've used both 29" 21:9 and 27" 16:9 screens. Does the 29" widescreen gives off a larger FEEL to it than the standard 27" while tasking and consuming media, although it's got less vertical working space and the difference in surface areas are negligible? Can you please share your experience?

[@theherblin]

I got this monitor for $170 on clearance! Pretty happy

[@GoodsauceTech]

+Herblin that's a great price! Nice one!

[@ms6408]

Nyc vid. Im going to buy that tommorow!but i have a question. Can you play games fullscreen?

[@ms6408]

I mean some monitors can't

[@GoodsauceTech]

+Mannstar Gaming Most games will work just fine. I have only come across a few which didn't cover the whole screen. Instead, those use a 1920x1080 resolution with black bars on the side

[@blackskyel]

Good review. Does it match the height of a 24" (16:9) monitor? I'm thinking of using them side by side.

[@GoodsauceTech]

Thanks! It's roughly the same height as a 24" 16:9 (the ultrawide is 0.33" taller). If you want to compare screens, i highly recommend displaywars.com , they have a great tool that provides a bunch of useful info. ;)

Great review, i hope you get more subscribers, and j totally deserve it

[@ramirohigonet2999]

LG 29 inch 29UM58 or samsung 27 inch cf591?

[@GoodsauceTech]

Well here's the thing: 1. The samsung is just a really big (and i have to admit, really good looking) 1080p screen. The lg is 2560x1080, so you can actually fit more windows on your screen at the same time. 2.The samsung is 1.8 inches taller, but the LG is 2.2 inches wider. 3. The LG has a higher pixel density at 95 PPI tham the samsung, which has 81 PPI. This means the LG is likely to have a sharper image. 4. The samsung has freesync. If you want freesync on an LG Ultrawide you would have to get the 29um68 not the 29um58 Conclusion: If you want freesync / want to stick to 16:9 / aren't sure that your computer is powerful enough to run the increased resolution of the LG, then go with the samsung. If you want higher pixel density (sharper image) / more screen real-estate go with the LG. I, personally would go for the LG, but that's just an opinion.

[@ramirohigonet2999]

thanks, yes I agree with you, and I'm going to buy the lg

[@ASAP__431]

Wonderful review

[@GoodsauceTech]

+Vixi Port thanks a ton!

[@rafaelgonzalez3566]

Thanks for the video. Would you recommend this monitor to be used with a PS4?

[@GoodsauceTech]

I wouldn't recommend hooking a PS4 up to an ultrawide monitor. PlayStation games are usually designed with the 16:9 aspect ratio in mind and they usually either run with letterboxing (black bars) on the sides or they end up stretching and distorting the image to fill the whole screen.

[@Juan-tk5lg]

Hi, just want to ask if i can use this monitor and hook it up to Samsung Dex?

[@lucamifsudbuhagiar8903]

When I overclock my monitor, I end up with a lot of flickering lines all over. What is the problem? It is at 75Hz, like yours.

[@GoodsauceTech]

Overclocking is the same for monitors as it is for things like processors and graphics cards. That means that not every single one be overclocked as far. The thing you are experiencing is called artefacting, which means that your particular screen can't do 75Hz. You can try lowering the refresh rate a little bit until you see that the lines and the flickering go away.

[@mkarko01]

hey, i ve got a small desk so i dont know if this monitor is too big for me.. how many cm does your monitor stand from you? (sry, i don't know if it is correct but i hope you can understand)

[@GoodsauceTech]

+Mkarko™ i usually sit at about 80-90cm away from the screen (distance from face to panel). Hope this helps :)

[@infinitegamersinitiative6427]

Mkarko™ Like 60 cm from left to right and like 80 cm from face to monitor pretty fucking amazing monitor honestly

[@RestZ]

Would you recommend this as a 'side' monitor, because I want to have a 3 monitor setup with 2 of these on the left and the right. I have a 144Hz monitor in the middle.

[@GoodsauceTech]

+RestZ having 2 of these plus your middle monitor will give you a lot of screen real estate, but it will get *really* wide. From what i have seen, people mostly use ultrawides as the middle monitor, but i haven't used a multi-monitor setup with an ultrawide myself. I'd say your best bet is asking on a forum like linustechtips or tomshardware, because there will probably be people there who have tried that.

[@nekusu94]

Hi, does this monitor have HDMI 1.4 or 2.0? I guess that having a resolution of 2560 x 1080 is 2.0 true? (Sorry for my bad english)

[@GoodsauceTech]

Well, LG's website says "HDMI 2.0: Yes(ver1.4, 2ea)". Therefore i guess it one of the ports might be 1.4 and the other might be 2.0, but, again, i'm not quite sure about that. What is certain is that even HDMI 1.4 is more than sufficient to drive this resolution at this refresh rate, so don't worry about that. Moreover, HDMI standards are backwards compatible. :)

[@gilbertalmariego7285]

Hi, there are some issues that it flickers in 2 months, how about yours? Is it still fine until now?

[@GoodsauceTech]

+Gilbert Almariego It's still perfectly fine.

[@gilbertalmariego7285]

No issues like low color calibration? Thanks for reply dude, awesome review, planning to buy this one for my birthday

[@GoodsauceTech]

+Gilbert Almariego Thanks! I haven't run a color calibration test, so i don't have any numbers to give you, but what i can say is that none of the colors look off to me and it doesn't seem to oversaturate.

[@mrtadashi3899]

Great review! thx, i have a question do you know the dimensions of the footprint? And iq there a option to mount the sceen on the wall? Regards

[@GoodsauceTech]

Hey man, thanks for the comment! The base of the stand is 24x21cm (roughly 9.5x8.3 inches) and yes, you can wall mount it. It uses VESA 75x75 but it doesn't come with a wall support, so you would need to buy that sepparately.

[@salmaankhan8376]

[@GoodsauceTech]

+faisal aslam well, it's a great monitor and i don't regret buying it. If you have to use DVI or Display Port you can always get an adapter.

[@tobyharrison4323]

on ebay they are like 5 dollars AUD

[@GoodsauceTech]

+Toby Harrison moreover, DVI seems to slowly be going away (Nvidia is starting to avoid putting it on their high end graphics cards) and HDMI is a lot more widely used than Display Port

[@GuidoSoliani]

Hello, 75hz is the maximum it supports? or can a little more without showing any error?

[@GoodsauceTech]

It depends on how lucky you get. Some may go a few frames above 75, while some may not even get to 75. There's no way to know except actually trying it

[@GuidoSoliani]

I ask you since my Samsung Ls22d300fyczb reaches up to 76hz, at 77hz it shows that the mode is not optimal. Could you do a test and see how much is the maximum that your LG29um58 lets you get until it shows an error? I'm thinking of buying it, maybe it reaches 90hz

[@eat26]

I have 25 inch version, but I am going to get this one bc I started streaming and its just really nice monitor

[@RicardoSousa-gy5hg]

Yo me again. The 29um68p is on sale and its basically the same price as the 58. My problem is that I dont know if im getting amd or nvidia gpu. Can the 68 be overclocked with nvidia gpus aswell? Or should i get he 58?

[@GoodsauceTech]

+Ricardo Sousa Display overclocking doesn't rely on the gpu. The thing is that the 68 has Freesync (an amd technology), which basically makes games look smoother at lower framerates. Now, freesync only works with amd gpus, but if you pair it (the um68) with an nVidia gpu it should work like a um58. If they are both the same price go ahead and get 68 because it is basically the same thing with the added benefit of freesync.

[@RicardoSousa-gy5hg]

Well thats all I needed to know. Thanks a lot. *proceeds to buy the monitor*

[@GoodsauceTech]

+Ricardo Sousa no problem, have fun with it!

[@DigitalGenki]

isn't this the LG 25UM58 because of the stand is different than the 29inch version?

I have a question, It's fake or real this monitor can work at 90 Hz ? Because Amazon say "60 - 90 Hz", 144 Hz for ultrawide in 29" is overprice. Thank!

+GuenosNoLife as far as i know this monitor only goes up to 75Hz

[@johncolteraneoffical]

Can you run a windows laptop APART from the monitor on this?? if so... how? -How do you plug in the windows laptop (Asus UX410UA-GV024T)? -How do you make it so that you can drag things from the one side to the other? It would really help if you were to answer... Btw, you just got yourself a new sub :-) because you are so active and help out other people

[@GoodsauceTech]

So i guess you want to use this as a second monitor for your laptop, right? Since it's a zenbook I'll also assume you're on windows. So, this is how you would go about it: - Plug the monitor into the laptop's HDMI port - Press the Windows Key + P (opens the projector / other screens menu) and select "extend" - if the resolution goes crazy on your laptop screen or your LG Ultrawide, you might have to go into your display settings and set the proper resolution for each screen. Hope this helps! If it's not what you meant or you're having trouble, let me know :)

[@johncolteraneoffical]

Goodsauce Tech I wanted you to clarify if I had the right stuff to make it work, and you did exactly that. I love you man. When you responded I got it immediately. (It works perfectly as a secondary display) :-)

[@vfddcv7445]

Will this be of any use ?i have an i3 4170 and i plan on buying a gtx 1050 ti...is it silly to buy the screen instead of upgrading my cpu?

[@GoodsauceTech]

+vfddcv it might be a bit silly. If you're using a normal 1080p screen now and feeling the need to upgrade then you should probably get the better rig and then switch to the bigger screen. It's simple: you shouldn't invest in the screen if you don't yet have the hardware to effectively push those pixels. That's just my opinion though.

[@vfddcv7445]

What is 1080p screen?mine is the one with the vga porr lol 'lg e2240 fortron'

[@vfddcv7445]

Basically i think of buying a new system altogether...i remembered when i bougt my system 2 years ago thinking of upgrading my old cpu in the future.now i see that the lga 1150 socket is obsolete and the i7 4790 cpu is still expensive as fuck.i dont know if it is worth it...

[@GoodsauceTech]

When i said 1080p screen i meant a Full HD (1920x1080 resolution) monitor.

[@GoodsauceTech]

Yeah, Intel CPUs don't really tend to drop in price as time goes on that much. That's why it's advisable to go for current generation parts from them, because you're basically paying just as much anyways.

[@GoodsauceTech]

On LG's website, there is no mention of FreeSync on the 29um58-P page. Also, LG doesn't have any sort of information on their site about the 29um58. CNET has full spec sheets for both versions, but they are basically identical and none of them seems to support freesync

[@DRMORSEgreekwellville]

Hi man great video, thanks! Can this monitor be supported by nVidia GT440?

[@GoodsauceTech]

+DR. MORSE greek wellville Hi! The GT440 supports a maximum digital resolution of 2560x1600 (according to nVidia's website). So it would support this monitor (2560x1080) BUT you have to keep in mind that that is a relatively old GPU, so you wouldn't be able to do anything that is even remotely graphically intensive at this resolution with it. Gaming is pretty much out of the picture.

Thanks for the answer but I don't have gaming in mind, only for desktop work I would be using that monitor

Is it possible to put it on wall? Thanks

[@GoodsauceTech]

+Milos Jovanovic It's totally possible, but it doesn't come with a wall mount. You'll have to buy a mount separately that supoorts VESA 75x75

[@Mikes-uy4fr]

Goodsauce Tech thank you very much for fast respond!

[@GoodsauceTech]

+Milos Jovanovic No worries mate! :)

[@subpsycho]

Do you know if it's hdmi 1.4 or 2.0?

[@GoodsauceTech]

+Rohan Sinha the lg website says "HDMI 2.0: Yes(ver 1.4, 2.0ea)". So yeah, i guess it has HDMI 2.0 on at least one of the ports

[@subpsycho]

Thanks for the swift response :)

[@GoodsauceTech]

+Rohan Sinha no worries mate :)

[@ruifu9114]

[@GoodsauceTech]

+Rui Fu i can't find an answer on the lg websitr and i don't own any apple devices to test it on, sorry

[@abdullahalthomali2406]

[@GoodsauceTech]

+Abdullah Althomali It's matt ;)

[@abdullahalthomali2406]

+Goodsauce Tech ty for replying😆

[@GoodsauceTech]

+Abdullah Althomali no problem man, anytime!

[@Not_Alex]

whats the refresh rate

[@GoodsauceTech]

The out-of-the-box refresh rate is 60Hz but LG advertises that you can overclock it to 75Hz, which I was able to do no problem.

[@kunjb.512]

Goodsauce Tech Can you also do that with a Nvidia GPU ? Thanks

[@miguelslm]

Does It manage 75hz?

[@GoodsauceTech]

Mine does, but that's never a guarantee that each and every one will. That's the thing with overclocking.

[@cheesymartabak]

Can I play my ps4 on this?

[@GoodsauceTech]

+Achmad Muharya I don't actually know if the PS4 supports 21:9 because I don't own one.

[@pityu1659]

Is it worth it , that i only use it for gaming?

[@GoodsauceTech]

+Weeday Rocket league :D I use it for gaming, programming and video editing. It's great for all of them. Games support 21:9 look awesome on it, because you have a far wider field of view

This have freesync?

[@GoodsauceTech]

+Lautaro Vazquez Perea mine doesn't but i know that there are versions of this which do have freesync

[@sir.beethovendasfett7066]

27 curve samsung or this?

[@GoodsauceTech]

someone else has asked this exact thing before, so here is a cop pasted answer from over there: "Well here's the thing: 1. The samsung is just a really big (and i have to admit, really good looking) 1080p screen. The lg is 2560x1080, so you can actually fit more windows on your screen at the same time. 2.The samsung is 1.8 inches taller, but the LG is 2.2 inches wider. 3. The LG has a higher pixel density at 95 PPI tham the samsung, which has 81 PPI. This means the LG is likely to have a sharper image. 4. The samsung has freesync. If you want freesync on an LG Ultrawide you would have to get the 29um68 not the 29um58 Conclusion: If you want freesync / want to stick to 16:9 / aren't sure that your computer is powerful enough to run the increased resolution of the LG, then go with the samsung. If you want higher pixel density (sharper image) / more screen real-estate go with the LG. I, personally would go for the LG, but that's just an opinion." hope that helps Show less

gtx 1060 3gb how many fps?

[@GoodsauceTech]

+Hades The Mighty the 1060 3GB should be able to handle this pretty easily, but I can't tell you exactly how many FPS it will pull off. It depends on the CPU, RAM, Game, Video settings etc

[@khanthemighty2658]

i5 7500 16gb ddr4 ram ssd 750 wat z270 motherboard

[@khanthemighty2658]

also what games you had black bars on it?

[@GoodsauceTech]

+Hades The Mighty The only relatively big game that comes to mind right now is Paladins. You also can't expect ultra low budet indie games to always support 21:9. However, other than that, i haven't had black bars in the games i play regularly (World of Tanks, World of Warships, Warthunder, Smite, Warframe, Hearts of Iron 4, Unturned etc)

[@123ftw1]

The ultrawidemasterrace subreddit has a steam curator. You can see most games that have native 21:9 support store.steampowered.com/curator/9685213-r-ultrawidemasterrace-Group/#browse

[@crqnx6889]

Works the ps4 on it?

[@GoodsauceTech]

+Crqnx It should work in theory but i don't knoe if the PlayStation supports this aspect ratio of 21:9. You might have to dig around on sony's website or forums to find out

[@crqnx6889]

Goodsauce Tech Ok thanks for the answer! :)

[@johncolteraneoffical]

Yes, the ps4 works on it

[@aswebatchsky]

and here I am still running a generic 18.5 Samsung monitor. :/

[@lukebarker3838]

[@jt3000o]

[@fld5820]

[@ThatRedstoner]

Starwin Well, it's a cat, but yeah, he likes that chair a lot! xD
