LG 29EA73-P

The LG 29EA73-P monitor delivers good all around performance courtesy of a 29-inch ultra-wide IPS panel. I/O ports are plentiful, but the USB ports could be more conveniently located, and the stand offers limited adjustability.

Good performance. Lots of ports. Stylish design

Tilt-only stand. USB ports are at rear of cabinet

Dual-monitor setups are ideal for users who require lots of screen real estate, but they tend to take up an awful lot of desktop space and can create a cabling nightmare. With the sharp-looking LG 29EA73-P you can reclaim your desktop without...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Monitor has developed a light vertical stripe. after 8 months. Possible t-con board issue

I consider this monitor a mixed bag. On one hand, the accurate colors make it ideal for photo editing and the aspect ratio makes it ideal for games. However the IPS glow makes low-key scenes look unbearable and when watching DVDs on it you will still...

Wide aspect ratio for games. Brilliant, vibrant, accurate colors.

IPS glow: The monitor has pretty bad IPS glow around the four corners which makes it pretty difficult to play games with dark scenes when you are sitting close to the screen. The IPS glow diminishes when sitting farther away from the monitor. Stuck...

Poor Quality

Although I love the Ultrawide display, I can not recommend that anyone other than a total geek with deep pockets purchase one of these monitors from LG. For one, the split screen is a lie The driver/app to support split-screen is a memory hog and even...

the Ultrawide screen is beautiful to use for multitasking or just sticking a Windows 8.1 app to one side

Split-screen feature ; The split screen features LG promises for their Ultrawide monitors is 100% software based or assisted. if you try and attempt to display two video outputs from one or more devices to the monitor for a side-by-side viewing, you...

Great monitor

I wonder if there is a way to fix it. If they are dead pixels, I believe I bought a defected product.

It was something new, this 21:9 ratio. But it is better than any 1920x1080 monitors with no doubt. I got this monitor in April and have been using it till now. I used is rarely as my second monitor along with my laptop. Great for multitasking. You can...

Like I said, it is a great monitor and I have no regret of buying it except I found two dead or stuck pixels recently. I thought it was stuck pixel at first because I didn't notice them for months of usage. I found it while i was watching a youtube...

Great Ultrawide display.

I don't know if I would buy one at full price though. $599 is a steep price for a monitor like this. When I bought it there was a 48 hour deal going on and I was able to get it for $340.

This monitor has excellent colors, Phenomenal response times (For an IPS), Decent speakers (For a monitor), and is just plain nice to look at, has VESA mount supports, plenty of display input options

The on screen menu is controlled by capacitive buttons, Also the stand only allows for tilt and not rotation or height

Great, but Not Perfect.

Features Colors Size Resolutio

Non-Adjustable, the monitor by default is angled downward and with no way to adjust it, makes it rather annoying sometimes. For this price it's not acceptable to have a monitor without a single adjustment to the stand. Also the color calibrating...
