LG 29UM59-A 29-Inch UltraWide FHD 2560 x 1080 IPS Gaming Monitor

My son is picky about gaming monitors with regards to latency and color accuracy. If you don’t know what this means exactly and you’re shopping for a decent quality gaming monitor for your kid, translation- this is a good one.

Beautiful screen. 75hz as well (I must have missed that in the description)

I love it but honestly 2x 27+ wide screens would have been better. But its pretty darn sweet!

I 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

Products pictures are deceitful, the product you will actually receive is LG 29UM59A, which cost 219, also on Amazon! No height adjustable stand.

The reason I got this particular monitor is because Id purchased its smaller, older sibling, the LG 29UM-68-P, and been extremely happy with it. Its basically the 2016 29-inch version of this monitor. Both are incredibly bright and crystal clear, and Ive never had a complaint about the 29 model. This one happens to be even cheaper (even at that time of this writing, $368 vs $299), so I thought, why not? For the most part, Im pleased with it, though color accuracy leaves something to be desired. Not only can I now see that the 29 model has a slight red cast, Im left with a slight green cast on the 34 (hard to see in the photo, but its there). Ive fiddled with settings but never been able to get either of them to match or get one or the other closer to pure white. I have half a mind to get a colorimeter because frankly it drives me a little nuts. Also, either because of the sheer size or because people complained, the VESA mount doesnt partially block the video connections (looking at you, 29) - everything is easily accessible. If this will be your *sole monitor* then I couldnt recommend it enough. If this will add to an existing monitor you might want to look elsewhere, or be prepared to spend time fidgeting with controls to get it to look right. Still, all that being said, I do love it, and if the news that NVIDIA will be adding Freesync compatibility in an upcoming driver release is true, Ill be even happier when gaming with it! Edit 1/15/19: The Freesync compatible NVIDIA driver released today and while its not one of the approved monitors it does appear to be working without any issues. I also bought a colorimeter but have yet to have any luck with it. Also, wanted to add that the joystick control is probably the easiest of any monitor control out there. Push away from you for up, towards you for done up to enter/select. I dont have to try and remember how to use it - its that intuitive.

You can split the screen in several ways excellent when grading papers, doing homework and you need more than one website open or even documents open....

Cat knocked over the 1st one I bought and it didnt fair to well in that fight. So bought another one. It worked so good and for the price its perfect. Colors are true and the screen size is perfect.

A 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.

This monitor was just what I was looking for. I love how much screen real estate I now have.
