Good entry-level ultra-wide monitor

Overall a great product I have to say. I bought it mainly because I want a dual ultra wide setting but in terms of features and value for money the LG 29WK600 is the best buy. It offers HDR support, built-in speakers, and higher nits, and costs around $240 (at least what I pay for it). As a secondary 29WK500, it's more than okay, and for just $199, it's what you'd expect. By the way, I noticed that the navigation menu is not as smooth as the 29WK600.

Excellent monitor in my review.

Image quality 10/10. Price 10/10. Build quality 7/10. The best monitor in its price range. The bezel is simple, but who cares. I'm not paying for plastic quality/aesthetics, I'm paying for superb image quality. The colors and extra pixels look great on Windows and video games, the extra storage comes in handy when working on macOS.

Very impressed with this monitor. I like that it has 2 HDMI inputs. It's what was advertised and that's what makes it great.

These are used previously refurbished displays **Do Not Buy**

These monitors come in refurbished packaging. Revain confirmed they were used and not refurbished (at least at the time of sale). I can't believe Revain allows you to sell them on their website. They must be sold on Craig's List, Nextdoor or Flea Market. The monitor lacked hardware and 1/2 inch at the bottom of the entire display was dead or flickering all the time. The screen was also very dirty, with water stains and streaks.

Great entry-level ultrawide monitor

The first ultra wide monitor. Bought it for less than €200. Make sure the games/apps you are using support 21:9 (Ultrawide) aspect ratio. If you don't want to pay for ultra-wide QHD, this is a good alternative to FHD. No dead pixels. Very satisfied. Fits well (height) to my secondary Acer 23" monitor with 16:9 aspect ratio.

What are the upsides of using LG 29WK500P Dual UltraWide Monitor, 29WK500P, IPS, 2560X1080?
  • The screen is big and the colors are amazing
What are the downsides to using LG 29WK500P Dual UltraWide Monitor, 29WK500P, IPS, 2560X1080?
  • Poor color accuracy and brightness compared to other monitors.
