> 3 daySo I shopped around quite a bit before landing on this wide screen. In my price range I finally decided that LG was the best fit but then I was amazed at how many different models there were just in the 34 size! The reason I chose this one? There were certain features I thought were critical in choosing an entry level wide screen monitor: 1) Size, 34 seems to be the sweet spot. Not sure why someone would buy a 29 widescreen. Seems like a waste for what youd get. 34 on the other hand provides a pretty amazing viewing experience. 2) The Display Port connection. The monitor for my other computer is a 27 4K with a Display Port and it does make a huge difference. Using HDMI you cant get the 60mghz needed to obtain the kind of picture youd want with this widescreen experience. 3) The price was certainly right! The higher end wide screens with 144ghz rates are just too expensive. At $300, this particular LG model is a fantastic value IMHO. 4) Yes this model does force you to give up having an adjustable stand but Ive rarely used the adjustment with my previous monitors so I dont really miss it here. 5) Easy setup with the ability to customize. This unit was easy to setup and adjust for all of my games. It is a terrific gaming monitor for casual gamers like myself. I do wish the power / setup button was in a different place, but Im used to it now. All in all, I dont think you can go wrong with this monitor. Im very happy with my purchase. And the delivery was right on time with the unit was received in perfect unopened condition, exactly as described. So unless you want a top of the line monitor for some big time gaming or video work and have upwards of $1,000 to spend , I think this would be a really good choice.

> 3 dayA great monitor, I have not tried the freesynch as I do not have an AMD card yet but the color/brightness/contrast are very good. There is no noticeable ghosting to me. I would recommend this monitor if you are looking for a 1080p ultrawide.

> 3 dayPurchased brand new in 2020. Now come home to find a thick red line on the left third of the monitor. Troubleshooting steps did not resolve and is out of warranty. Peripherals like monitors should last longer than this. Cant recommend something that burns out so quickly.

Greater than one weekAs soon as the monitor was delivered, I opened the box with the excitement. During the assembly, I found two screws were missing that tighten up between monitor and body mount. I called the customer service but found they can ship the material in 2 weeks, not a good option. The next day early in the morning, I rushed into Home Depot and bought M4-10mm screws and fits great. I am very satisfied with graphic quality. I used Displayport to enjoy full 2560x1080 resolution rather than HDMI port.

> 3 dayI am in love with this monitor. For the price, it is everything I needed and more. The only thing it doesnt have is the speakers I wanted. I am using it right now and havent stopped using it since I opened it up. Great quality, great color, great picture.
