UltraWide Is The Way To Go! - LG 29WL500-B

[@marconihimself]

Flat sRGB accurate panels with anti glare are touted for people that do color work. It is nice that these monitors also are great for media comsumption and games, even though they are not curved or have high refresh rates. I personally favor a good ultrawide IPS full HD panel over 4k or high refresh rate TAs.

[@mirceastan4618]

The sweet spot of ultrawide monitors in my opinion. The resolution, image quality and framerate are all just "good enough", and you can also power it well with a 5600XT/2060. Besides, it should also do "good enough" in movies and productive tasks such as programming. I've seen an older iteration (29UM68-P) in real-life and it looked alright.

[@CharlyDS]

Great video. I think the size might be the sweet spot. Currently using two 24" monitors and it's clear that you can't physically reach the right and left extremes with comfort. Also, this would take up less space in my not-too-big desk. I mostly use it for programming so it sounds like a great solution (32" seems excessive).

[@MrDugath]

Got this on sale for 150. Not going to use it for gaming but for work and add it to my other monitor. Will see how that goes.

[@ryanexplorer]

great review. It's such a pity that in 2020 there's still no 1440p (QHD) 29' Ultrawide Monitors. 34" feels way too big for me ( I don't game / edit videos)... And 1080p on a monitor isn't good, especially when not gaming QHD is a ton more crispy

[@NayarJoolfoo]

Yep. 1440p on 29 inch would be perfect. But this current screen is very usable

does the screen not go all the way to the edge?

[@thatfootguy6746]

People just need to understand that in layman's terms, to choose ultrawide means to give away vertical in exchange for extra horizontal. Image on 21:9 will always be smaller than on standard 16:9, because their lack of 'height'. You would need at least almost 40" ultrawide to get a big enough image to compete with say 32" 16:9 monitor. And good luck with that, can't imagine how expensive that would be. 😏😆

[@torinopeek]

I dont know why i got recommended this video. But i have this monitor. I like it, the HDR is pretty bad. But overall is really good. I also like to use this monitor for csgo, i play it at 16:9 but stretched to 21:9. If you want you can play 4:3 stretched to 21:9, making everything really wide and "easy" to aim, but i dont like it. Also the thing that its 75Hz is also other good thing for gaming. And the image quality is really good for its price

[@Spiderhip]

Unfortunately they lie about all these ultrawide LG's refresh rates. In theory they don't. Yes these monitors can give 75hz. But not in 2560x1080 res. Only in 1280x1080 res. Otherwise all you get is 60hz :/ It's a scam to write there 75hz. I mean maybe you can even write 90hz but only on 640x480. It's like a joke. This monitor has to work in 2560x1080. Not any single soul would like to buy this monitor and use it at 1280x1080.

[@nssandhu4401]

Hi , im looking for some suggestions. I'm in need of ultrawide, 29inch will be a sweep spot for me. Concerns are - they are mostly available in 2560x1080 resolution giving out 96ppi. 1. Will that be easy on eyes ? 2. at arm's distance is text pixelated ?. Are you able to read text (for 6-8 hours a day) at that distance comfortably ? Also, i'll be using it in grayscale mode and in split screen. so what options do you suggest ? Should i go for VA (as major use wll be in monochromatic mode) or IPS. Budget is a concern. Also, typing this from 15 inch 109ppi laptop screen. so u have an idea of the kind of upgrade experience i can have.

[@FWIKNOW]

At first glance I thought this was the same one I got but mine's 34" Ultra Wide but has the same aspect ratio as this one. It's great for productivity alright but still looking for something that can do double duty as viewing it from a distance for gaming or watching Netflix isn't great.

The monitor uses FRC or frame rate control. It basically tries to simulate an intermediate shade by mixing two shades together. If you’re gonna use it for professional editing on Lightroom, Premier Pro, etc., then I’d suggest you get maybe a second monitor that’s more color accurate just to be on the safe side. However, I will add that the differences (color accuracy wise) are hardly noticeable to someone who doesn’t dabble in graphic design/photo editing.
