Review on LG 29WK600 W 29 inch UltraWide Monitor, 2560X1080P, Adjustable, ‎29WK600-W by Daniel Moreno

lg monitor. The first one I got was defective. Half of the screen didn't light up properly and I was very disappointed. Luckily, LG paid for shipping for me to send it to an electronics repair provider and took care of everything. I think it took me an extra 2 weeks to ship it, fix it and then return it, but when I received it I was very satisfied. It's very good for gaming as I paid around $185 for it on Black Friday (I don't know if I'd pay $250 for it these days, could pay a little more and get something better), but less than 200 US dollars are very good. 2560 x 1080 is the resolution most games support these days if the game doesn't support it. There is a 9/10 chance there is a fan made patch to make it work in 21:9. Otherwise it only works in 16:9 with black bars. The only major issue with an ultrawide screen is trying to stream or record game footage, especially if you're constantly switching between games running in 21:9 or 16:9 format. It's quite uncomfortable and I blame game developers for not all embracing or embracing 21:9 ultrawide in games. Dead by Daylight devs are notoriously bad, they supported it but actively removed it from their game thinking it was an "unfair advantage" which is just plain stupid. The ultra-wide aspect ratio gives you little extra room to help you play, it's just way more immersive and fun. This monitor itself has HDR10, but the implementation of HDR is so low and poor that it may not exist. Windows 10 also has HORRIBLE HDR support, so getting it to work properly in games without constant monitor flickering isn't worth the effort. The only game I've run with HDR on this monitor is Monster Hunter: World. Unfortunately I don't play this game anymore and there isn't much of a difference (as my friend who has this monitor and convinced me to buy it thinks he does) but for the moment it's mostly new. Maybe one day HDR will become popular because I'm sure it looks amazing with 10-bit color instead of 8-bit, but until decent HDR monitors get cheap we're stuck in limbo for the moment. This monitor has up to 75 fps. which is good, i couldn't overclock it at all unfortunately. It supports G-Sync/FreeSync up to 75 fps, or at least the G-Sync indicator is on screen even when I'm gaming at 75 fps. I don't notice much of a difference when Freesync is on, but I think it's good to have. I run my games with Nvidia Fast Sync enabled and RivaTuner to cap the framerate to 75 fps to avoid screen tearing. Also, this monitor is an IPS display, so that's a good thing, the IPS glow isn't bad at all. I usually run f.lux to reduce blue light at night, so it doesn't really matter to me. So yes, overall a good monitor for the price. If I've learned anything, next time I'll definitely buy an LG monitor if they offer ultrawide at 100 fps with IPS and free syncing, like 1080p or 1440p, which is about 32 inches instead of 29 inches? I would be happy. This monitor is basically a regular 23-inch monitor, but you can also call it a 29-inch monitor because it's ultra-wide. It's the same size as a typical 23-inch 16:9 monitor and feels small, but you get used to it after a while. I want an ultra wide 32" or 34" display with 1080p or 1440p and up to 100 or 120 fps, it's IPS with a 5ms response time. If I had this monitor I'd be happy, but now I think something like that costs at least $500-600. The LG brand is good, they treated me like a valued customer even for a cheaper monitor, I think I will stick with them.
