> 3 dayPicture quality is great, dark scenes are way better than my Acer VX Nitros built in screen. An ultrawide like this is a must have for laptops with a single video output! Excellent for youtube videos, casual gaming, and any sort of work related task.

> 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 dayThis is my first ultra wide monitor, which replaced my 27 Apple display. I was surprised by the picture quality and build quality, especially since this model was a lot cheaper than the models available with the same specs (ASUS, Dell, Other LGs, etc.). I was thinking about investing $300 more to purchase the Asus MX29UC 4K monitor, but Im glad I did not. My main use for this monitor is for data analysis. My current workflow with this monitor seems a bit smoother, and the transition from a dual monitor setup was surprisingly easy. The LG screen split software is also amazing to use, but its not any different from using dual monitor setups with 4+ windows open. You are mostly limited by windows that snap to the screen, which means that the screen split modes are fixed and adjusting some of the windows to your preferred size is a bit annoying once in a specific screen split mode. Also, it seems that it takes a little bit of work to get the Mac OS to drive 2560 x 1080, or a 21:9 aspect ratio. Once you get through the display settings, the monitor is truly wonderful to use. I currently have my work computer (2013 MacBook Pro) connected to this monitor through mini-display port to Display port. I also have it mounted to a Vivo VESA mount. One thing to note: the monitor description mentioned HDMI, and USB-C ports. However, the monitor that I received had a Display port and HDMI, and no USB-C. You might want to check the images of the back panel for confirmation of existing ports before purchasing.

> 3 dayI am delighted with this monitor. The usable real estate for gaming, graphics, research or anything else you might need multiple windows open for is amazing. The split window functionality that is part of the package is fantastic for Business, Socializing as well as Gaming. I have Vision conditions that heavily influenced my choices. I need large bold fonts & larger scaled UIs... 34 inches has ample room for customizing. Nyctalopia, which is commonly referred to as Night Blindness, affects my ability to distinguish details in dim lighting as well as darkened scenes on TV & dim gloomy heavily shadowed Time of Day & ambiance effects, evening, night or weather conditions in Game screens. Websites with Light Fonts on Dark backgrounds are mere smudged blurs & their content unreadable. My most recent previous Monitor was the LG 34UM58 which I gifted to my sister after 2 months use... Its only fault was a max brightness of 250nits. This one goes up to 300, I currently have contrast maxed & brightness at 260 Many of the LG Monitors, such as this one, have the Black Stabilizer feature which improves visibility in dark scenes... for me as a long time WoW player I can still see to play :) I cant comment on how the Freesync works since my Graphics card doesnt support it, but so far I havent found anything about this monitor not to like <3

Greater than one weekColor looks good, works for gaming , im not a hardcore gamer but from time to time , i played Far Cry New Dawn on it and looks pretty good, no issues nor complains. The option to connect 2 laptops on the same monitor and handle them with the same keyboard and mouse its awesome, but only works with windows and macos , not with linux/unix but no complains. the only part i dont like much is that the sw to split the screen, would be perfect if it can create a virtual monitor, so when you working remote, you can work like in 2 monitors, but thats ok... And the price, a good deal would be $249.
