Review Summary
2018-08-05T20:00:00
Bought this to replace a LG that was going after 11 plus years. I was surprised at how wide it was when I pulled it from the box, but not so much more than my older one but can't be happier. Used for gaming and everyday stuff,LG products just are great and last. My brother saw it and loved it. I highly recommend this.

While I really enjoy this monitor for gaming, what I appreciate about it most is how much real estate I have for work purposes. The extra wide resolution gives me plenty of room to keep multiple windows open on the same monitor and significantly improves my workflow.

I've been extremely pleased with the extra real estate space! The colors have been sharp, data responsive, and has really helped improved my productivity. Given the size & light weight, its actually pretty mobile by reusing the OE box as your case to transport it.

Extreemly fustrating as often after a windows update it won't do anything other than say there is no signal. I HATE THAT. I am using an older monitor to write this. Thne I come to LG's site and they can't even find the model number when I type it in so I have to do a search to come to this page. NOW WHERE ARE THE DRIVERS THAT FIX THIS> THA"S ALL I WANT

My mother surprised me with this as an early Christmas gift this year, and I was ecstatic when I realized what I was pulling out of this massive Amazon box. Two of my three roommates have already had a 34" and 29" LG Ultra-Wide monitors, and I've always wanted one for myself. Now we have all three available sizes in the house, and I've never been happier. Any screen I want to look at is usually an Ultra-Wide in my home. Also, I love the joystick style button instead of a large, ugly row of buttons on the front, or on the side or bottom that you can never find. The Ultra-Wide has just one button on the bottom under the front-facing logo in the middle, that does everything you need it to do, and more.

I've owned this model for over six months with no issues. I bought it for two reasons in that one, I had an Amazon gift card that paid for most of it; and two, I've never had a negative experience with an LG product. Again, this reinforces my experience. It's a great gaming monitor, but I also found the wide screen extremely useful for productivity. I'm back in school, so multiple apps and a web browser are open most of the time. This monitor eliminated the need for two standard sized monitors. It's also an extremely easy setup or of the box. I'm more than pleased. Should you choose to invest, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Very good product for the money. Vesa mounting helped a lot in making my set up clean.

I bought the monitor 3 months ago to extend my desktop. I love the size, the available inputs and picture quality. My only improvement would be to add sound.

I bought two screens. The dual monitors have greatly increased my productivity. I recommend these monitors because they are clear, sharp and with vivid colors. I highly recommend these monitors!

I just bought this monitor and have only been using it for a few weeks so far but it has exceeded everything I expected it would be.

bought this almost a year ago now and best decision i have made on monitors. Colors are good not really a noticeable delay at all(primary use gaming. only down side is having to manually change resolution on some games. It also works beautifully for auto desk, solid works, photo shop/ illustrator, and basically any work related program.

This is the best monitor you can buy for the money. I have the 25 inch version without speakers, and I must say it's amazing. The picture quality is great, it has useful features, and also very good colours quality and contrast. The LG servers are pretty slow when you download the files, but this may happen only to my end. Anyway, it's worth the waiting.

Excellent monitor! I've had it for about 3 months now and it's not showing any banding, defects or dead/stuck pixels. I love the ultrawide aspect ratio. It's easy to clean and is very crisp and sharp. While I could have made use of a display port, I realize that it would have added a bit more to the cost than I'd like. I'm thinking of purchasing a second one! Buy! Just as an aside, Windows 10 doesn't seem to be able to recognize it so you'll have to manually install the driver from the LG website.

I looked at hundred of monitors for - Features, Performance, and Quality the extra wide with split screen is great for gaming where I can have up to 4 games running at the same time and when I play Battle Field 4 the Quality of colors is the best I seen in a long time the only con I have is wish it was touch screen but hay you can't have everything. I would buy from LG again

I am so impressed with the beautiful colors and clarity of this screen. I compared this monitor with another one that I have and I could see a big difference, although my other monitor is quite stunning. I also like the ease of use especially the on/off button which was difficult on another brand that I used to own. My monitors are on longer than an average person and the LG brand never disappoints me and that includes my LG HD TV that I have owned for years.
