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

I have a smaller desk, so was looking for a lower-profile 21:9 monitor for productivity and light gaming. Pros: -- Smaller footprint and better pixel density than 34in 21:9 -- Small bezel (*see below) -- OCd to 70 Hz without artifacts or frame drops WITHOUT freesync on nvidia hardware via HDMI. -- Great colors, HDR "Effect" (not true HDR) looks great to my untrained eye. Cons: -- Stand is aluminum, but has plastic parts. Still feels premium but not as much as I hoped. Not bad enough to remove a star. -- No USB port. Thoughts: For me, the display is perfect. The bezel is thin, but there are noticeable black bars. Isnt an infinity edge display like Ive seen on some dell laptops and was hoping for, but at this price point certainly isnt expected. Stand is very stable and imo looks nicer than the black plastic stands on other LG models. Huge upgrade from a standard 16:9 monitor. If you have the desk space, I have no doubt that premium 1440p 34in ultrawides offer more features and better performance than this product, albeit at a much higher price point.

I had a different model LG 29" and liked it a lot, but it failed the week after the warranty ran out. So I tried this model which has a much better connection placement, but it wouldnt recognize either HDMI or DP input. So tried a different LG 29" which failed after two weeks. I then tried this model again and liked it very much until it failed in two weeks. With that kind of quality Im done with LG permanently.

Ordered two, both came on time. There were no damages to the box or the monitors. I didnt see any dead pixels or any weird issues with the monitors. It’s so good that I might order a third monitor, just so I can have that immersive ultrawide triple setup feel. Best of all, it’s Ultrawide bb! Here are a few problems I have with the monitor. There’s no height adjustment and you can’t turn the monitor left or right. Which is a big let down, meaning I have to lower my chair a bit so I can get a good eye level. The HDR sucks. The colors are either super bright, or the images aren’t clear at all. I kept it at normal viewing. Those are the only down fall with the monitor. I do wish it was 1440p, G-Sync with 144z. But since I’m on a budget, this will do until I can actually own a 38 Ultrawide 4K with 144z. That will be one hell of a day!

I love this monitor it’s great. However the only thing I was surprised about, was that the monitor had built in speakers. This was a good surprise but I was confused why it was never in the item description.

Beautiful screen and great for games when overclocked to 85hz! 5ms response time will be noticed only if coming from a 1ms display for a short time then it’s not noticeable at all. I paid $199 on Black Friday but it easily worth $300 with HDR on. If buying this for Xbox one x all settings are enabled if you use a 2.0 hdmi cable 4K and HDR are beautiful on Xbox one x.

Amazing monitor for those who multi-task. Love the LG driver allowing multiple layouts but I find myself using side by side the most. Or when in excel this is great for wide spreadsheets. I will admit with only one program/app up it can be difficult because the width. My eyes can’t focus that far out, but generally I’ll open something else and resize the width to something comfortable for the main app I’m using. In honesty who doesn’t like having a webpage open with live feed as you work if it doesn’t cut down on the size of your work app/program. Oh and the 2k? Is a great picture too. Have not done any gaming so can’t comment on latency or rendering.

Buyer beware. I thought this would be a great choice and maybe for others it will be great but for my purposes it was not a good fit. I wanted to use this as a display for my Macbook Air 13". The resolutions between this ultrawide display and my Macbook were not compatible at all (LG ULTRWIDE 2560x1080 | MACBOOK 1920x1080) PRODUCTIVITY/GENERAL USE: The screen was obviously stretched out and hardly useable for me. Everything was distorted and looked weird. It seems that if i had a computer or PC with a different resolution it would be fine but just not what i needed. Colors and quality seemed okay, not great but okay, if not for the distortion and stretching. I definitely want to get something more deeper blacks and more accurate colors as i do a lot of photo/video editing. ASUS Ive heard have great color accuracy and I think I will be going in that direction. CONSOLE GAMING: Played both Nintendo Switch and PS4 on this screen. Distortion was not dearly as extreme as it was with my Apple Macbook but still noticeable stretched (though it was minimal, I am very particular with these things and so for me, i was very noticeable, perhaps others it will not matter as much). Besides my that slight stretching both consoles performed great. Nothing spectacular that I was not already getting on my TV but still good. I would recommend this for casual console gamers and those with computers that have proper resolution compatibility with a 2560x1080 display. Just looked up what youll be using it with and see if itll work!

I bought the predecessor to this monitor 2 years ago and liked it so much, when I decided to add a second external monitor to stack above the first, this was the obvious choice. The setup went well and everything worked with little surprise after a couple of reboots. Lesson learned: My Lenovo laptop has 1 HDMI port and 1 mini DisplayPort. A quick search told me that in order to run 2 external monitors I would need to use both of these ports and not one of the USB ports. I tried first with a mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable but it would not support the full resolution of the monitor so I bought a straight miniDisplayPort to DisplayPort cable and all worked very well. The stand that comes with this monitor is metal now - an upgrade from the plastic stand that came with the predecessor model 2 years ago. All seems to be of high-quality and well thought-out.

Was between this and the 34 curved. Glad I got this, and saved some money. Stunning display great for any purpose. You are spending your money well with this purchase.

Ordered this for my office at work. First impression: It seems to be a nice monitor. Im not using it for gaming at work, obviously, but it is quite bright and the speakers are louder than I had expected. I had to turn the brightness down to about 50%. Being an ultra-wide, its about the size of one and a half regular wide-screen monitors, which gives just enough room to have two windows open side by side and not have to flip between windows all the time. One thing Id like to point out, however, is that the "virtually borderless display" only looks that way when the monitor is turned off, because there is an extended layer over top of the screen. When the screen is on, there is about a half inch boarder on the top and sides. The product image does show the border correctly, but the description is misleading. Just some marketing BS, basically. I wondered if perhaps the image was incorrect, but its not. Just want to make sure anyone reading this is aware of this and isnt fooled by the description. Still looks like a nice monitor, as long as the border isnt an issue for you. It isnt for me, or Id have looked for another one in the first place, just based on the images.
