Dual controller NOT supported

It said ".On Screen Control + Screen Split 2.0 & Dual Controller;" in the description. After configuration, the monitor does not support this function.

Great for old eyes and huge spreadsheets!

Not without an out. Have one at work. Got one for the house now. Has no heart rate for serious gaming. But great for everything else.

What is better? good for me

I couldn't find a better monitor for under $300. I bought about 6 of these between work and home and they are all amazing. SO much space for activities.

Bad column after only 2 years.

Bought new in 2020. When I got home, I found a thick red stripe on the left third of the monitor. The troubleshooting steps did not help and the warranty is not covered. Peripherals like monitors need to last longer. I can't recommend anything that burns through so quickly.

Thin red dive line. And Asurion's disguise is useless.

Out of the box came the "thin red line running from top to bottom" problem. File a claim with Asurion because I paid for the coverage. "This appears to be a recently purchased item. Please contact Amazon to exchange or return. Or contact LG." Revain Return/Exchange is just a return, so that's nice.

In the Revain description there are no two HDMIs.

The screen looks fine. I really like having multiple documents that I can post and view at the same time. However, the three stars are due to the fact that this model from Revain is described as having 2 HDMI ports. Just look at the image and it will show that it is your marketing image. They have specs for another monitor that says it must have two connectors (it doesn't). Please fix this, especially if someone needs to use two HDMI ports to connect to games.

Good screen for office work

I bought this for my dad for Christmas to tidy up his home office. We had no problems; We installed it on a monitor arm and it worked great and has a good image.

Great monitor for my needs

I'm not a gamer, but I write a lot of work and tend to keep them side by side. I didn't have the option of mounting two monitors on my current monitor arm so I went with this ultra wide one and I'm glad I did. I'm even considering replacing another monitor with this one. A great monitor for me.

Need more ports in my review

Bought four for a final setup like the Matrix but needs more ports. :/// This really deserves four stars instead of five.

Looks great and reliable

Colors look great on this monitor, viewing angles are perfect, the aspect ratio is great for work that needs more attention (like spreadsheets), and it's also great for everyday use. It's great to be able to open a full browser tab and have more space on the page, which is very useful for messaging apps like Discord.

Good monitor, sound does not work

Reliable monitor, I enjoyed using it. The only catch is that the built-in speakers didn't work. I see an audio device in my HDMI-connected computer, but there is no sound. Tried 2 computers, drivers, no luck. This isn't the first time I've seen this issue reading other reviews. I never bothered to explain because the audio from the monitor was optional for me. although it would be a nice feature!

Works amazing - my new review

A great monitor that allows anyone to use the 21:9 aspect ratio to simplify the experience. That said, some games don't offer full 21:9 support, so heads-up only.

Good Ultrawide: my review

It has a frequency of 75Hz, which is comfortable when gaming, as well as fairly thin bezels (images are false and misleading; actual bezels are around 1cm). The pixels aren't very noticeable, but they're noticeable enough to remind you that this is a 34-inch, 1080p monitor. All in all an unbeatable price and it works great.

Great monitor for the price!

Great and cool monitor. I first googled the name of the monitor and only found 2 or 3 reviews. This monitor is grossly underrated, I was able to overclock it to 77Hz at 2560 x 1080. Great monitor for the price even though it only has 1 HDMI port and no speaker cable is included.

Love this monitor good for me

Died after less than a year of use.

Bought it two years ago and used it for maybe nine months total. worked fine Nothing crazy, color quality was everything. He got up today and died. The backlight works but there is no pixel display. I can't even open the menu to adjust the settings. Now it's abandoned. I paid over $100 for a glorified paperweight.

Lots of desk space

Ideal for working in Autocad. Make sure you have a modern graphics card that supports higher resolutions - this is important! Also, use a good quality HDMI to DisplayPort cable. Cheaper cables don't work. There are more than a dozen of them and everyone loves them.

You get what you paid for

Cheap small widescreen. In general, the screen looks pretty good. It may be 29 inches, but it looks so small. but little then I expect. I tried different games, the screen couldn't take it. But then again, I didn't buy for the game. I buy for specific medical software that I use. It serves its purpose. But this monitor is not to be commended. I really don't like the feel of a shaky monitor. It's so unstable. But in general there are no problems with it and it works well for what I'm doing.
