According to our monitor expert
The LG 29UM68 is an ultrawide gaming monitor with FreeSync. More and more games support the ultrawide ratio, so playing on a wider screen actually provides a larger viewing area. This is a definite advantage when playing your favorite games such as League of Legends or Battlefield 1. Corners appear sooner and you don't have to look around as much. To improve performance, this LG monitor has FreeSync. This is a technology that lets the monitor 'communicate' with your video card to prevent stutter and tearing. With this monitor, you opponents can no longer hide in a dark corner. Thanks to Black Stabilizer, the contrast between dark colors are improved so you also see better in dimly lit areas.

good, but wobbles a bit (not there stable). the control button is under the screen (not very handy) can also be done via software (download from LG's website). With a resolution (2580x1080) it is a bit more difficult to find wallpapers, and with full screen videos you have black edges (see photo 2)

I've been looking for a while for an ultrawide with the perfect price/quality ratio. Let me get straight to the point and tell you the negatives first. What I don't really like is the resolution. I'm used to working on a laptop with a 4k screen. Going back to a 1080p panel took some getting used to. In addition, it has a big impact on your graphics card (larger than I expected). I have a GTX970 and you can quickly count on a drop of around 10 fps. Besides slightly lowering the quality of your games and getting used to normal HD, I have not experienced any problems. Multitasking is soooo much faster and the colors feel natural. My advice? If you're looking for an ultrawide on a budget, then look no further. Delivery is super fast and installation takes less than 5 minutes. The quality is really top notch for the money! For people who are after the ultimate experience, it would be better to save a few hundred euros and buy a 1440p version. Keep in mind that your graphics card will suffer even more. Overall, I'm happy with the screen. It's a totally new experience and makes computing so much more enjoyable!

I bought the monitor because I wanted to expand my own studio for producing music and of course being able to play games. With the help of the Ultra Wide on this monitor (as Coolblue says) you can see a lot more in the game! There is only 1 button on the monitor and it is located under the LG logo. So easily accessible. You can immediately switch on Game Mode with 2 touches. And also immediately switch to, for example, a Playstation or Xbox that you have also connected to your screen. A big advantage of this is that you can Skype on your computer (HDMI 1) and play games on HDMI 2 at the same time.
There are also minus points. Like the price for example. The mains cable for the monitor is also a bit on the short side, but this is not so much a major drawback, which is why it is not listed in the negatives either. A real drawback is that the HDMI cable that comes with it is much too short. Make sure you order an HDMI cable right away. (if needed)
