29UM65 IPS 21:9 UltraWide 29" Cinema Screen Monitor - OPEN BOX
(LG29UM65POB)
Pros: Just enough wider to give you that little bit of extra room.
2nd input if you want to watch two 4 X 3 sources side by side.
RGB color matching for those who work with art.
With an older computer it will allow you to line up multiple windows in pages so you can page between them.
Cons: 21 X 9 is really only usable for two screens wide if you have a new computer that supports the wider resolution, and that's not mentioned in the advertisements.
Backlighting isn't as even across the screen as I'd like. Some areas appear yellowish, some grayish, some white.
LG tech support appears to be open from when they feel like it until they feel like closing.
Other Comments: Glad I bought the 29" instead of the 34". I'd have been upset if I'd have paid the price of the 34" for this level of performance. It's better than the standard monitor I was using, I sit with it less than 2 feet from my face and can't see any pixels which is outstanding, but it is expensive all things considered. It's good, but it's decidedly not great. Is it worth $100 more than a 16 X 9 monitor if you have an older computer, probably. Is it worth any more than that, really no. If you have a newer computer that will support the higher resolutions it may well be worth the money but the backlighting issue is still there, and LG isn't really providing any solutions.
