LG 34UM68-P 34-Inch 21:9 UltraWide IPS Monitor with FreeSync

It was a great monitor until it started acting up. About 10 months into use, my Mac mini (late 2012) wouldnt be able to "see" it and would default to my other monitor. I thought it was a software bug or maybe the video card was dying on my Mac mini as it is five years old. I would have to repeatedly turn the LG monitor off and on, and eventually it would all work properly. But, then after about six weeks of acting up, the LG just refused to ever start up again. Very sad story. So, when you amortize the cost, this monitor was about 3x more expensive than my previous monitor, for which I paid $1,000.

Originally bought this monitor for my home. I do a fair bit of music production and needed some extra real estate for the screen. Did a ton of research going into the purchase. I fell in love with a that a friend of mine owns. The dell was priced about 700. This is an insane bang for your buck price. I came across this one online and and had great specs for the price. I purchased the monitor 5 months ago. I love it so much I purchased a second one for work. It has become my go to for everything I do. It easily stands up to monitors twice this price. 10/10 will buy a third soon.

Im not a very technical person, but I know quality when I see it. This monitor is very nice, has a beautiful picture and nice sound from the speakers. I originally ordered the 29 inch because I thought this one would be too wide for my relatively small desk. I was wrong! This is the perfect size and works well for work (Im not a gamer). I mainly wanted something wide enough to split the screen and work on 2 documents at once. I thought I would need a different stand but the stand it came with is very nice, and can be raised or tilted. I havent tried all the monitor features yet, but so far everything seems GREAT! Update - My fabulous monitor DIED just over 3 months after I bought it. First the speakers stopped working. Then I was on the phone with LG , doing some troubleshooting. He told me to unplug it and do a “hard reboot “. When I plugged it back up it wouldn’t come on!!! Power was clearly getting the the unit...but it wouldn’t light up. :-/ Since it was still under warranty they sent me a prepaid label to send it back. Fortunately I’d saved the original box and packaging. I’ll update again once I get it back....

I Havent had this monitor for long yet so I cant speak for the longevity, but my first impressions of this monitor are great. Im coming from a 21 inch 16:9 but my display before that was a 45 inch flat screen TV and this monitor offers a very comfortable middle-ground experience if you want a large display but dont want to deal with the generally terrible input latency of a television. After a few months of researching before settling on this display my two main worries were that it would be uncomfortably big on my desk and that text would be uncomfortable to read because of the relatively low dpi (about the same as a 27 inch 1080p panel). After having used it I can say neither of those were any issue for me, and I think the general consumer would be happy with this display also. I find that a lot of negatives reviews of this monitor come from people who have used much higher resolution displays before this and were accustomed to very high pixel densities. To the untrained eye, and especially someone like me who is already adjusted to very large, low dpi screens; this monitor is the best monitor you can buy if you want to get into large ultrawides on a budget. Its definitely not right for everyone, considering the sheer size of this screen theres probably a lot of people who just cant possibly fit it on their desk, but for a use case like mine where this monitor doubles as a TV for my bedroom its absolutely perfect. That being said I have two main gripes about this monitor the first being the lackluster build quality. If you press even slightly around the edge of where the screen meets the bezel, the panel flexes easily and doesnt feel like it would hold up well if something were to bump into it. Second being the fact that theres no display port cable included in the box which I wouldnt mind as much if this were a regular monitor but considering the fact that you cant enable freesync or the 75 hz refresh rate with an hdmi connection then there really should have been both cables included in the box. Overall, Id have to say its the best choice in <$400 ultrawides if it lasts as long as Im hoping it will.

I have to say it took awhile to get used to this thing. I moved from an older Asus gaming monitor 21" to this monster. Its much shorter than I realized and I was afraid that it would be awkward to use since Ive never experienced ultra wide monitors before. This monitor is amazing but its definitely something you have to play around with. The screen real estate is plenty for research and multi tasking. Im not a rich person so I guess in my mind it boils down to this: if you are a multitasker with a small budget and dont mind a slightly older monitor, but still want an ultra wide and dont mind playing around its a perfect fit. Within days I had fallen in love with it. Im using the DP connection to get 75Hz and an amd gpu to utilize freesync and once I started gaming it all made sense fairly quickly. This thing is dirt cheap and lightning fast, Im not Chuck Norris on CS:Go I dont need an absurd refresh rate or response time on the bleeding edge of technology, I mostly do research for work, watch youtube and play Warframe. The settings for font clarity and refresh rates really only took 5 minutes to figure out and I was rolling. Its amazing how big of a difference 60Hz to 75Hz is. When playing games you are absolutely immersed in the gameplay, with beautiful colors, sharp crisp lines and a huge amount of fov. There is nothing in months of research for my new ryzen pc that came close to this for the price and Im very glad that I have this thing. It feels and looks like monitors twice the price with stats that fall center field where others always seem to fall short in at least one category.

If you plan on dropping the resolution some and making your games unrecognizable then TECHNICALLY it can get 75hz. Even with a new dp 1.4 and the hdmi it shipped with. Even with every option in the nvidia controls. Have you ever been regretful with a product but still very happy with it? I thought I had found the sweet spot for size hertz and cost but yeah.... (but atleast the speakers are oustanding) I still really enjoy the monitor and have no plans of returning it. And I strongly recommend getting the chrome plugin that stretches out youtube videos for ultrawides. Going from horribly thick black bars to a video covering the whole screen feels amaazziing at this size. The bezels are super thin and dont collect dust. every other part of this thing does though. Youll need only 6 inches of space behind the screen for the arm. At its highest, the arm can lift the screen a smidge over 7 inches, making it now 21 and a half inches tall. At its lowest setting the arm almost puts the thing on the desk just shy of almost 3 inches, making it 17 inches tall. The legs jut out 3 inches infront of the screen while being just a bit wider than 19 inches. Make sure when you open this thing that you take out the instructions first and read them over. If you set the panel down you might break the power button and the instructions will tell you how to avoid that. Again I would strongly reccomend changing the shipping container of this thing or just making sure you are there for the delivery. It is highly conspicuous.

I now have two of these babies! Its like mission control in my office. This monitor is incredibly crisp and bright. Im not a gamer, so cant comment on the gaming performance of these monitors. Im a developer and spend all day staring at the screen. Ive noticed a drop in eye strain - despite sitting for 8 - 10 hours a day with two of these in front of me. I much prefer these to my former HP and Dell monitors, and the OnScreen control software that ships with them is a great way of being able to control window placement when running multiple applications.

I like the size of the monitor, it was larger than I expected. It wasnt easy connecting my MacBook Air. I had the proper wires and was using the correct port. Its possible the connection wasnt tight enough. A previous reviewer was correct, contacting the company or LG was a joke. They basically told me to contact Apple. This is the 3rd time Im using the monitor and the volume is no longer working. I wanted to finish watching the videos for my school work but there is no sound. I also cant find the port to use a headset or earbuds. I know how to go into the menu but that didnt help. This discourages me to do my work. I selected this monitor so I could use the speaker. If the box came with instructions on setting up the monitor I would have given it a higher rating. If the volume worked, I would give it a higher rating. I still like the fact I can see my screen since my 13" laptop is too small for me to do work on.

The color on this monitor is exceptional. The eye adjustment features and the built-in sound are also very high quality. What keeps me from giving this monitor a 5 star rating are three items: 1. In hindsight, I wish Id gone with a 4K monitor, but could not find one I liked. Ive mostly used Macbook Pro Retina displays for the past 5 years, and I find the max resolution on this monitor is just not as large as Id expect on a 34" screen. 2. The on screen controls, especially for volume are a bit clunky to use. Even with the installed applications for monitor control right in the toolbar, every other sound output I use adjusts based on the volume controls on the laptop, but the monitor does not. 3. With the HDMI connections, the monitor "disconnects" occasionally. Typically reconnecting with a few seconds without much interaction, just moving the mouse. My previous monitors are all older using DVI, digital or even VGA connections. Somehow I blame HDMI for this behavior, as if the signal strength is variable. Ill be doing more photography in the future, and I expect Ill appreciate the color and size of the monitor more with that use than with my current work.
