[@adolfojp]

I love your reviews. Most reviews are limited to "Wow, this is good, I like it" without going into any detail as of why the item is good and without performing any tests to prove it. I just purchased a LG 29WN600-W which appears to be almost identical to the one that you reviewed. Hopefully it's just as good because it's the one I was able to find.

[@TheTechnologyMan]

Thank you adolfojp! LG model names are very confusing - it looks identical and has the same specs, but whether they've made any minor changes I don't know. I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

[@tacticalmoose7783]

How has it been after a year?

[@adolfojp]

@@tacticalmoose7783 The display is still perfect in every way except for its pixel density which feels a bit low whenever I move my face closer to the screen to read smaller text. But this is not an old or cheap monitor problem. A cousin of mine recently bought a bigger "gaming" ultrawide with a higher resolution but the pixel density is somehow worse and mine looks luxurious in comparison. Buying a display with a higher PPI would have been too expensive at the time so I don't regret the purchase in any way whatsoever. I'm going to use it until it dies or until I have enough of a disposable income to toss out a perfectly good monitor because it's not perfectly great. But I'm still overall happy with it so replacing it is not a priority. If I were to go back in time I would buy the same monitor again.

[@tacticalmoose7783]

@@adolfojp Thank you so much for the update! Gonna see if I can get it on sale at best buy as I’ve seen it discounted before. Thanks once again

[@ColinNiemczura]

Awesome. First of all, fantastic video. Only 1.9k subscribers?! Secondly, glad I saw this review. Was going to spend more on the 34, but I think this 29 will do exactly what I need and also offer the added productivity of an ultrawide.

[@TheTechnologyMan]

Great thank you! Yes I think the 29" is about the limit for me regarding dpi. At the same resolution that is. But that's a personal preference.

[@ColinNiemczura]

@@TheTechnologyMan Ended up actually going with the 34! The day I walked in to Best Buy, they had it $100 less than what it was before. Both monitors are great, but this extra real estate is awesome.

[@adanupn96]

¿Qué diferencia tiene con el 29WK500?

[@UldisZalcmanis]

Totally rocking review for someone who's considering purchasing this one. I hope you're getting well rewarded for your effort, sir. Keep 'em coming. Prices are so low now in 2020 that it's hard to pass on. I'm kind of cheap but I think I'll grab this one. I'm mostly using Vegas Pro, Premiere Pro, After Effects and Photoshop so ultra-wide aspect ratio has been a long temptation for me but the prices were out of reach. But, now it looks they're becoming more mainstream as this model in the country where I reside at the moment can be bought for mere USD200.

[@TheTechnologyMan]

Thank you Uldis Zalcmanis! I'm still using mine everyday for the same kind of apps :).

[@felixmc5308]

Thank-you for the comprehensive review.

[@nrg-studio]

The perfect review I was looking for! 😍 The most interesting thing is - I just ordered the 29WQ600 model (a newer version of 29WK600) on Amazon after a vague research on the internet but was still so much worried about the colour accuracy of the same. Never thought a 5 year old video will help me that much. Huge respect to you sir! 🙏 Love from Assam... ❤❤❤

[@TheTechnologyMan]

Very glad it helped - thanks for leaving a comment!

[@iLL3571]

Good job! I was expecting the usual reading specs off the prompter, but you actually tested the monitor. Of course this can always improve in the details you're taking in consideration.For monitors at least for me the most important tests would be response time, blur, ghosting, color depth, and showing all of the settings that can be changed in the menu as some might not have overdrive or other settings available.

[@TheTechnologyMan]

Thank you Smug! More monitor reviews coming soon if I can find any in stock! I'll take your points into consideration.

[@DennyDrums]

Congratulations on the video! Talked about several items on the monitor. I'm going to buy a monitor for games and I'm between that and the Lg 29um69-G. So far I liked more of this 29wk600, just did not find one of the most important points to play, which is the Input-lag. The 29um69-G has 10 ms of input-lag, you know tell me the input of this? Thank you!

[@wesseljooste414]

The response time on this monitor is 5ms gtg

[@DigitalSamTV]

This is such an extremely good review mate, you have covered all of the tech details in a very efficient and clear manner. I'm looking at buying about six of these for various properties I rent out and making a little office area in each. It seems that they will fit the bill very nicely and at $200 each that is very reasonable for such spec.

[@TheTechnologyMan]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TheTechnologyMan]

I'm just reviewing another monitor - as soon as I get this monitor back on my desk I can share the profile. Although it's only really meant for the exact monitor it was created for - so may not offer any benefit.

[@Formhault]

@@TheTechnologyMan I understand that. However, I got this monitor and comparing it to my old 24" 1080p TN panel, I think something's off. Can't really put my finger on what's wrong, I just can tell something is. So I'd rather try your config first - share everything please, contrast, sharpness and so on. Thank you in advance!
