Great quality reasonably priced
Great for gaming, and even better for opening multiple documents and large spreadsheets. High quality that is in a league all it's own.

Very Impressive, though...
First off, this product is amazing. There is no getting around that. It has all the features that make it perfect for its many possible uses.
I purchased it to accomodate my feature film editing bay. It's exactly what I wanted in the width, to be able to juggle several windows simultaneously, create a long workflow timeline, and to go full screen 2.39:1 aspect ratio to see how the film plays out.
As many know, built-in speakers are not grande. Indeed, I have my computer connected to a full surround sound rig in which to edit sound. But I have to admit, the built-in speakers have come in more than helpful than I could have possibly imagined. They're small wattage, and aren't close to audiophile specs, but helpful nonetheless.
The interconnectivity has been great. HDMI, USB-C, and DisplayPort was great. I had a bit of trouble with my Mac deciding to make trouble when I had my dual displays connected, and HDMI causing the screen to go blank when the resolution was not set correctly (I am not a Mac fan... le sigh). But this monitor's capability of the separate simultaneous inputs helped me make a workaround that got it back to exactly the way I wanted it to work. I'm so thankful for that.
Every time the optimum resolution is not set properly or screen refresh frequency is off, there is a handy on-screen notification so you can optimize its capabilities.
The only drawback I will mention is not the monitor's fault, and is due to my inexperience with ultrawide screens. I now know that a curved monitor would have been the best choice. The flat screen at this size (29") is not bad, but even at this size, could be a bit more helpful if slightly curved. When I was shopping, I was looking at ultrawides up to 34", I think those would be even more important to get curved. I find myself moving my body to the left or right when I have windows to the far edges so that the windows are facing my directly because of the flat nature of the screen.
That being said, I did not find many curved (if any, now that I recall) ultrawide screens at this size. And this one has been everything I wanted and more.
I highly suggest this screen for people looking for the extra benefits of an ultrawide:
gamers
stock brokers
filmmakers
multi-simultaneous-window users

Great Picture and Performance at a Great Value!
I have been using this monitor for roughly 3 weeks for casual gaming and everyday use. I was initially concerned that it might be too small as I was upgrading from a 22" and considering a 27" as well. I couldn't be happier with the size. I feel this is the sweet spot for me.
The picture quality is outstanding. The resolution is perfect for the size. Text is crystal clear, colors are incredible, and gaming is great. I can see why people love the ultrawide format.
The price point of this monitor also hits a sweet spot for me. I don't think it's possible to get a better monitor for the price point. If you can grab it on sale, do it and don't look back.
My only complaint is that the stand is a little wobbly. This is usually not an issue because monitors aren't made to move around. Having a 4 year old who likes to touch everything makes stability much more important for me than it would have been in years past.

This is a really great monitor overall; the aspect ratio is very nice coming from 16:9, the colors are really vibrant, and Freesync does an amazing job of making games look smooth even when my computer can't put out a consistent framerate. The one issue I have with it is that on a fully black screen there's a little unevenness as shown in the photograph, but that doesn't really have any bearing on daily use.

Hi, does it provide power over USB-C to for example MacBook Pro 13? So can I charge MacBook Pro over USB-C from this monitor?
I've seen reviews saying that they can charge a MBP with this (one of the reasons I bought it), however I'm seeing 'not charging' status. So does it or does it not support the PD from the monitor to the notebook? If yes - how do I enable it.
Dear LG Support, feel free to jump in and clear out the confusion.

Is it 75Hz also with Nvidia graphic cards?
The ENERGY STAR® Qualified LG 29" Class 21:9 UltraWide® Full HD IPS Gaming Monitor (29” Diagonal), Model # 29UM69G-B has a refresh rate of 75 Hz. Check the specifications for your graphics card, it may be capable of higher rates and is always firing off frames as fast as it can possibly do, that FPS this is dynamic and can bounce from say 30 to 80 FPS in a matter of split seconds. On the eye side of things, you have this hardware which is the monitor, and it is a fixed device as it refreshes at 75 Hz. Fixed and Dynamic are two different things and collide with each other. So on one end, you have the graphics card rendering at a varying frame rate while the monitor refreshes at 75 images per second. That causes a problem with a slower or faster FPS than 75 because you'll get multiple images displayed on the screen per refresh of the monitor. So graphics cards don’t render at fixed speeds. In fact, their frame rates will vary dramatically even within a single scene of a single game, based on the instant load that the GPU sees. In the past, Vsync stutter and Tearing were solved by ignoring the monitor's refresh rate and updating the image being scanned to the display in mid cycle. The downside was that when a single refresh cycle showed 2 images, a very obvious “tear line” was evident at the break, referred to as 'screen tearing' Tearing was solved by turning on VSync to force the GPU to delay screen updates until the monitor cycles to the start of a new refresh cycle. That delay caused stutter whenever the GPU frame rate is below the display refresh rate. It also increases latency, which is the direct result of input lag, the visible delay between a button being pressed and the result occurring on-screen. That is why gamers all wanted extremely fast graphics cards so they could enable VSYNC and have a graphics card that runs faster than 60 FPS and so Nvidia released G-Sync, which was both a software and hardware solution that solved screen tearing and stuttering by making the monitor a slave to your graphics card as its refresh rate became dynamic, each time your graphics card rendered one frame that frame was aligned up with the monitor's refresh rate. That has now evolved to AMD's FreeSync™ Technology. FreeSync reduces the tearing and stuttering that occur between a graphic card’s frame rate and a monitor’s refresh rate. With FreeSync, gamers can experience seamless, fluid movement throughout games without the need to upgrade their graphics card...^IFV

Is the refresh rate locked at 75hz and under or can it be overclocked?
The LG 29" Class 21:9 UltraWide® Full HD IPS Gaming Monitor (29” Diagonal), Model # 29UM69G-B is not factory overclocked, so overclocking it would void your warranty...^IFV

What's the Freesync window of this display?
AMD FreeSync on this ENERGY STAR® Qualified LG 29" Class 21:9 UltraWide® Full HD IPS Gaming Monitor (29” Diagonal), Model # 29UM69G-B is an AMD technology designed to eliminate stuttering and/or tearing in games and videos by locking a display’s refresh rate to the framerate of the graphics card. The Freesync range for this monitor is 40 - 75 Hz...^IFV
