LG 29WK600-W 29" UltraWide 21:9 IPS Monitor with HDR10 and FreeSync (2018)

Comment

Bought it from amazon warehouse deals and it had a verified label in the box. The power led/joystick always blinks and the screen never turns on. Not even an OSD menu. Wont consider deals like this anymore

Working out of the box. Replacing um67 29" which only lasted a year. Has a vertical line on one side of the screen. Not happy and am taking another risk with LG monitors. The 29wk600-w is pretty much the same screen only it was $200.00 in 2018 compared to um67 29" $330.00 in 2015. This time I bought a extended warranty for 3 more years over the measly 1 year from LG. I really like the size of the 29"ultrawide it does not break your wallet and is perfect size IMHO. My other screen is Asus mg279q 144hz its a great screen but its more than double the price and have never had any problems with Asus computer products. Only time will tell if the LG 29wk600-w will last or not will review again. Right now 5* because its exactly the size and features I wanted in a monitor and you cant beat the price point.

My wife bought me an inexpensive (~$200) Sceptre gaming monitor for my birthday. I hadnt asked for one nor was I looking but when I pulled it out of the box, I realized, yeah I want one. Unfortunately, that one was broken and was no longer available for sale. So I spent a week shopping for something similar in the low to mid $200s to replace it. I found this jewel. Man, I love this thing. Read some reviews that said it didnt play well with Macs. Nope, I plugged it in to the HDMI port of my 5 year old MacBook Pro and it lit right up at full res and ported sound straight out to the speakers. The color and clarity are wonderful and I even did some light gaming that was immensely enjoyable because I could see so much more of the playing field with great clarity. 75Hz seem fine for me - no flicker that I can tell. I just love it and hope it lasts a long time! Gave 4 stars only because it has just one button (power) - you have to use software to adjust all the monitor settings.

Highly disappointed. I got the monitors after hearing high reviews from multiple sources (to be fair most of them were PC Based) and got them for my baseline 2017 Imac 27 inch. Now in all fairness, i knew these monitors would not be 5k nor was i expecting them to match the resolution, but the colors were way off and even on full brightness they couldent match the brightness of my Imac on half brightness. I spent the better part of two days trying to dial the settings in, and in every way shape or form my Imac Monitor was vastly superior in both terms of color, brightness and resolution. Switching any media or apps from the Imac to the monitors (i purchased two of them) was an instant visual downgrade in every level, not just brightness or resolution. Now in total fairness, the monitors themselves arent bad at all and in hindsight, comparing 230 dollar monitors to a 1800 dollar Imac with a 5k Monitor isnt really a fair comparison and is something i myself overlooked. Its just that my Imac Monitor is such a great monitor, almost anything next to it is going to be a noticable downgrade unless i spend a thousand dollars plus for aditional monitors (i needed two of them) Do i recommend this monitor? yes, IF YOUR PC gaming on a budget then sure. But for mac...i would spend more for better monitors (with built in USB C Support which this does not have)

Do not buy this monitor for its HDR. It is capable, but does not produce nice looking HDR content. This is my 2nd LG 21:9 monitor. And it proves to be a great value. Do not expect to be blown away from the picture quality - however it is more than passable for a non-pro user. The software on my past LG monitor also seemed to be better. For normal content consuming and casual gaming, I strongly recommend this product... Keep in mind, many games do not support 21:9 Aspect ratios

Bought this for gaming. Since I play Civilization, World of Warcraft, Eve, Starwars the Old Republic, and Microsoft Flight Simulator I dont need the highest speed or resolution. My GTX 1060 has no problem working both with this and my old monitor, which Ive now rotated into portrait mode. And the sound is so much better Ill need to find a new use for my Bluetooth speaker. This works great for everything I play, and when watching Netflix or YouTube the image is a level of magnitude better than my old monitor.

The audio is terrible. My surface pro 6 has better audio then this monitor so whatever you do dont get it because of the built-in speakers....they are not going to save you any money because youll want to buy a separate pair of speakers asap trust me. Its so bad that it bothers me to even listen to spoken youtube videos. The montors power button and menu controls are a bit weird, but not much of an issue. Other than that I like it :) Note: If you have a surface pro youll need to get a mini display - display port cable, a min - hdmi will not work with this monitor for some reason.

Super sleek monitor and great picture. I have it connected to my MacBook Air though a mini display port to Hdmi cable. It does not have USB connections though, which would have been perfect.

For the price, this is a great monitor. Picture quality is excellent as is the menu system (not always the case for monitors like this). Works really well with the 2015 Macbook Pro that it is connected to - easy setup and the resolution automatically adjusted to the ultra-wide format. Only couple of complaints are that the bezel is actually quite large (~0.5 inch around the entire screen), the stand is cheap plastic and the monitor will shake slightly if the desk rumbles at all and it is unfortunately not height adjustable. Still a really fantastic screen for the money and I highly recommend it.

Great value for money, great for people that needs to work with multi screens at the same time, you get really more effective screen space.
