Advantages: IPS Matrix 75 HZ Format 21: 9 Not bad speakers. HDMI / DisplayPort / Headphone input
Disadvantages: Well, the stand is not ideal (not adjustable in height). It stands confidently on my table, but if you swing the table strongly, it shakes a little, but for me this is normal. No displayport cable included.
Comment: The monitor is simply gorgeous. I want to say right away that I have a GTX 980 video card and everything works at 75 Hz, I use a displayport cable, I have not tried it with hdmi. I recommend taking it in stores with a monitor check service. I myself bought a monitor + a service for checking dead pixels and for the presence of light on the screen, since the number of broken pixels up to 3 or 5 pieces is considered not a warranty case. As a result, everything was checked in the store, not one dead pixel and there are no lights, I have this miraculously already a week and a half, insanely happy with the purchase. Perfect for games (if you are not a cyber athlete, because here is 75Hz) and movies, and also perfect for work where a large amount of space is required. The best monitor with an aspect ratio of 21: 9 in its price category. it is better to take the 34-inch diagonal right away, and there were difficulties with the choice, I went shopping, looked and compared and eventually came to the conclusion that 29 - 2560x1080 is better than 34-2560x1080 and if you take 34, then 34-3440x1440 is already a different price and other loads on the video card. So I recommend exactly 29 -2560x1080 since this is a regular 24-inch monitor only wider.

Advantages: Immediately I will write the most useful key combination: WinKey + cursor left (or right) This expands the application window exactly half the screen, left or right. Because such a monitor can be used as a replacement for two, then after a while it starts to strain to adjust the size of the windows manually each time. The feature works in Windows and half of Linux distributions (you can customize it on the rest). Ultra-wide, hence: 1. finally you can watch movies on full screen 2. two windows or pages of text at the same time for work, convenient Fast IPS matrix, sRGB 99% coverage (more on a consumer monitor is not required), after TN the eye is happy, well, no color change from viewing angle as in TN. Matte anti-reflective coating On my backlight is uniform, there are no dead pixels. A huge margin of brightness, I myself have reduced the brightness and contrast to 60%. Interesting "compartment" in the back, where the power supply is very conveniently hidden so that it does not lie on the table. In terms of value for money, I think the best option in this size is at the end of 2018-beginning of 2019.
Disadvantages: No stand height adjustment Glossy plastic, it gets splattered instantly, you have to wipe with a cleaning agent not only the screen but also the plastic, which is covered with barely visible micro-scratches. Old games have never seen such an aspect ratio in a nightmare, new ones - not all support it, moreover, the RTS multiplayer developers consider this, quite reasonably, a kind of "hardware cheat" (more area of ​​the playing field is visible) and deliberately do not include support for 21: 9 ... In order not to stretch and spoil the picture, the monitor can be switched to the native resolution of the game, then it turns into a regular FullHD with a diagonal of 22 ". Unfortunately, in this mode you cannot move the visible part to the left / right, only in the center. They write about the wobbly stand - here the question is deeper. The stand is the most common and wobbles no more than the usual HD 22-24 ", but given its much wider width, this is more noticeable. I suppose that for those who have it "constantly wobbling" it stands on cheap plywood tables of a famous Swedish brand. On a chipboard table, it is quite stable.
Comment: The monitor is good. Not "gorgeous", no, its older brother LG 34UM88C is gorgeous, but this one is definitely good. And taking into account the price - excellent. In general, it seems to be excellent, but I needed a monitor not only for entertainment, but mainly for work, and after half an hour I realized that it did not quite suit me. I program video codecs, so I need to watch videos and write code. There are no questions about the transfer of colors, there was a question about the black level (by default it cuts everything below 16), but after connecting the color profile (from the very first review here) the question was removed. Personally, I did not have enough height. Most "programmers", if they choose a monitor themselves, will not take FullHD 16: 9 but WUXGA 16:10, because with a difference of 1080 and 1200 pixels, the status window of the development environment, traditionally located at the bottom, leaves the additional 120 pixels, leaving more space for the code. The eye, accustomed to 1200, was uncomfortable at 1080, like it won in width and lost in height, i.e. "half measure". As a result, he shook the purse and bought 34UM88C, this one sold. All buyers wanted to work. The first two liked him completely (both had already paid off), then they looked at 34, their eyes lit up, apologized, said that it was exactly what they were looking for in life and left. Realizing that in the presence of that "Kruzak" I would not sell this "Ravchik" for a long time, by the arrival of the third I covered the "Kruzak" with a packing case and this "Ravchik" immediately "left". Bottom line: the monitor is good, really good, an excellent choice for a "family home". But for work, if the funds allow, take a closer look at the 34UM88C, because it can really replace two monitors, but this one is not, this one is like "one and a half".

Advantages: + 21: 9 wide screen + Easy to install on Vesa 75x75 + Decent speakers + Usb type c can connect RGB tape on the back + 75Hz + Price + No eye fatigue, good matrix and stand + Ideal for games + Ideal for working with 2D, 3D graphics and video editing + Settings menu
Disadvantages: -Grain (pixels) at a distance of 40-45 cm are visible. You can live with it if the monitor is considered not in perpetual use. -Glossy body (traces remain) -After a week there was a light on the top of the screen. When buying, everything was fine, no refunds are made, keep this in mind. They say that this is a feature of IPS and this monitor, for me this is completely not normal.
Comment: I chose a monitor for a long time, for a very long time ... before that I sat on the Nec (s) in the office. At home Samsung S27A850D for 5 years, everything was fine, but its time has come. I work on a laptop, the screen is good in quality, 17-scale 4K, but I got tired of its size and decided to buy Monique budget for a while. The choice fell either on the Nec, but the prices for a good model are wild and equine, but safe for the eyes and no fatigue, the most important selection criterion was. I work so much in graphics packages, I sit on debt. The budget was very limited, I was considering options, but led myself away from this venture. I climbed to Yandex Market, the choice fell on this monitor, after reading all 57 reviews as of July 2019, I decided to buy. I took a laptop with me to check the monitor in the store, and it turned out to be the right decision, since the first was a dead pixel. The second one turned out to be excellent, without flare at the corners of the matrix, and not a single broken pixel. I immediately installed it on the bracket and connected it to the display port at 75Hz. The monitor is good, the reviews do not lie, the movies are gorgeous, to work in Photoshop or 3Ds Max, well, just a thrill, you can use two windows. For youtube, you need to download the UltraWide plugin, but the frames on the sides do not hover me. The main thing is I sit quietly for 3-5 hours without straining, but there are pixels, this is not a 2K monitor, but as they wrote 1.5K)) But in my budget at the moment this is the best that I could get, I'm not complaining at all. By the way, the speakers are not bad here. The monitor is not for designers and layout designers, but for a while an excellent option than taking a used one. After some time I will also replace LG 21: 9 with 34 inches, I liked the model. *** A week later, there was a flare at the top edge. Glow effect has become more, when watching a movie it is visible, and working with black. When working with color, there is not much, but I already know where it is and I pay attention. The Flash store refused to accept it back, referring to the fact that exposure is not a marriage and you need to live with it. Check everything carefully when buying!

Advantages: Color rendering, size, form factor, package bundle
Disadvantages: Stand
Comment: I use the monitor on a bracket, so initially I did not pay attention to the stand. The color reproduction is very cool, the aspect ratio of 21: 9 allows you to work with documents, programming and other routine things as comfortably as possible. Used in tandem with a 24-inch monitor, it feels very cool. For the price, this is the best monitor on the market.

Advantages: 1) Diagonal, for my distance to the monitor, which is 80cm, it is quite normal, the eyes capture the entire screen, no curvature is needed! 2) Format 21: 9, excellent in everything, games, movies, work, it has no minuses, only pluses! 3) Price, there are no competitors for such a price, but maybe it's for the worse!
Disadvantages: Is that the resolution is not enough, all the same sometimes you can see the "grain", although I knew what I was going for, so I did not take 34 ", where the grain is even larger!
Comment: In general, I can recommend it to those who are tired of 16: 9 and want new impressions from games and movies, and it is very convenient to work!

Advantages: image quality, beautiful design, the leg is not flimsy metal, reasonable price
Disadvantages: no
Comment: you get used to a specific resolution quickly and take advantage of it, almost all modern games support this resolution. I took it for photoshop, maybe I'm doing a photo. I recommend it for photographers. Mega-convenient.

Advantages: Price, matrix, latitude)))
Disadvantages: The stand is kind of flimsy, it doesn't look very reliable.

Advantages: Excellent matrix Very good in games, although it loses to 120 + Hz monitors in dynamics Great in watching video (adapted, of course) Gorgeous at work, for it there is nothing better than 21: 9. Not only for 3D modeling, there is better more vertical space Excellent control menu All sorts of semi-terrific game chips from LG, like an overlay sight bypassing the video signal and highlighting shadows, but my conscience does not allow them to be turned on Price (17k), cheaper than many standard 16: 9 Full HD monitors, which do not even give a much better picture Well, yes, it is wide
Disadvantages: No Display Port cable included. Red insert on the stand. Yes, everyone else most likely does not care, but I have a black and orange color scheme throughout the system, it looks out of topic. I painted over it with a marker. And for everyone else it can be a plus, it looks aggressive, stylish, fashionable, youthful

Advantages: 1. Its dimensions, not very large, but fits on the desktop quietly 2. Resolution - although here the pixel density is the same as in FHD, this is on the contrary a plus - there is no extra load on the video card. The GTX 1080 does a great job at UWHD 75Hz at maximum settings in all games. 3. There is no glare. You can see it only with a very dark picture in the upper left corner, the pixel backlighting is a little brighter than on the other edges - but this is too nitpicking. So everything is fine. 3. Colors do not pluck out your eyes, although they could be juicier.
Disadvantages: 1. There is no height adjustment 2. Unstable leg, as soon as I put it on the table, it seemed that with any interaction with the table, the leg would stagger, but you don't notice the micro-oscillations at all. Moreover, you can always buy a bracket and attach it to the table, or to the wall - there you can already adjust the height and angle as you like. 3. Low brightness. It would be possible to reach up to 300cd 4. Plug for hiding the wires - could have been made more, because one DP cable is very thick, and you need to try to fit a couple more wires so that the plug does not fly off every time.
Comment: My general impressions are the following: the screen is gorgeous, wide. Never going back to 16: 9, just in the living room watching the TV. Games are a pleasure to play, you get used to it quickly. All new games support this resolution. It's a pity until the cadres have learned to finish up to 21: 9. But that doesn't bother. Browsing YouTube and other services can be solved with plugins, but I don't use them. The edges on the sides are not annoying. Ideal for watching movies if there is no high-quality TV in the house. If you want to take to work with several active windows, then I would recommend taking a closer look at the older model with a diagonal of 34 "As for me, it is not very convenient to keep the active 2 windows side by side, I feel as if there is still not enough space. But keep in mind, then you need take 4K to keep the pixel density comfortable.I recommend to everyone, the price is good, but I don’t see any sense to give more money to HDR monitors. there isn't enough content in games to enjoy such beauty.
