LG 34" Class UltraWide FHD HDR FreeSync Monitor with USB Type C - 34WP65G-B

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Monitor was well packaged. The only thing to do is attaching the stand after unboxing. Just snap it on the back of the monitor and hand screw in the stand. Couldn't be easier. Esthetically, this monitor is one of the most attractive and modern looking monitors out there on the market. Design and functionality is very nice and intuitive. The red accent on the monitor stand is very cool. Adjusting the height is so easy and effortless just by lifting the monitor up and pushing down. It did not feel heavy at all. It can also be tilted to adjust the viewing angle. I like the fact that the monitor screen is matte instead of glossy which is great in reducing glare. I have it sit next to the window and had no issues with the glare at all. All the inputs are in the back of the monitor including the headphone jack which I found a bit awkward and a bit inconvenient since I had to turn the monitor to find the jack every time I switch headphone. Having it built to the side of the monitor would have been better in my opinion. However, you can use this port for external speakers via 3.5mm cable which I did. All adjustments are made via a single button underneath the logo which can take some getting used to at first but very intuitive. I had a two-monitor setup before using this LG monitor and at first I thought I would lose a lot of screen real estate but it wasn't the case. All the screen is within my peripheral vision so I didn't feel like I had to constantly turn my head to look from one side to the other. I am using this monitor primarily for work and it is a pleasure to look at excel spreadsheet. I can see many columns at once and having to scroll less. I can open multiple excel files and leave them open on one side of the monitor and look at email on the other. The ability to view and work on multiple files is liberating. I feel more productive. Picture quality is great for its size given it is not even a 4k monitor. Color and contrast (out of the box) are vibrant. Fonts are smooth and easily read. No jagged edge around letters. Surfing the internet and watching movies is a joy. After using it for a week, I prefer it over a two-monitor setup I had. One thing I wished it had is a built-in webcam. Webcam is almost indispensable nowadays due to work from home. I would definitely recommend this monitor. *Disclaimer: I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion on this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For a long time now I've used dual monitors to game and work for productivity. I've recently bought a new laptop that is lightweight, but only 13” screen. I wanted more real estate, I I went with the LG 29” Ultrawide which is perfect for my needs. It gives me the added space of two monitors, all in one display. I'm able to have two full sized webpages open side by side at the same time so I don't need to toggle virtual desktops as much. It gives me the flexibility to have an external keyboard and mouse and simulate a desktop experience when I don't need the portability of my laptop all from one monitor instead of two. Games on the display are amazing, bright and nice response time. I've never owned an ultra wide monitor before, but after this I don't think I'll ever go back. Haven't used it with my drawing display yet, but I can't wait to use them together for better clarity on my references I use to draw from.
