Edit: Wrong size! I was comparing it to my 25UM56 from the previous deal, d'oh!

I have one of these...be aware that the 29" size is very misleading. It's actually about the same height as like a 15" or 17" LCD monitor (edit: the 25" model is about the same height as a 15.6" laptop, not the 29"). Think like a pair of laptop screens side-by-side. It's cool, but it's not very big IRL. Also, you can do dual virtual monitors with DisplayFusion, which is what I use:

I have one setup at a satellite office with a mini NUC computer....pretty neat. Frees up a lot of desk space to have an ultra-wide with just a single stand!

Yep, it's actually about 11/32" shorter than a 24" 16x9 display.

Great deal overall - too bad it's not curved. I think this is about the minimum size for 21:9, although 34" is about ideal.

yeah i have one it's actually a very good size, not even noticeably shorter than my 24" but much wider. Not sure where the laptop screen comparison came from :/

I run two of these at the same time in eyefinity, but mine have display ports, I love it for the games that support the 5100~ pixels for when I play f1 2015, you really feel as if you are in the car when its almost 60 inches wide :O

I have a 23" 16x9 monitor and when I compared it to the 29"on that website this has exact same height, but significantly wider.

lol 15 or 17 inch laptop screen? a 29" inch 21:9 is the same height as a 23" 16:9 screen.

it does "feel" much smaller than that though.

That is correct, I just realized I had swapped monitors on my desk and had the 25UM56 setup, not the 29UM57 - edited my post.

The 25" is $169.99 at Newegg right now. I missed out on the 29" deal, was thinking about replacing my dual 20" (20WMGX2 and a Dell ST2220T, wish I could find someone local to trade straight up with) with it since having 2 displays made me have to move one speaker off the desk. This way I'd end up with roughly the same size for 16:9 content, but have a bigger display for when not. I think the 25" is a little too small though, the 29" would've been a good fit.

Anyone know if these are glossy?

Mine is fairly matte. I have the 25" on my bench right now. I also just held up a 15.6" Toshiba laptop against it & it is just about the same height as an FYI to the size. I was pretty surprised at how small it was when I unboxed it, although the extra wideness is really nice.

They have matte screens. I got one for the wife since she had a glossy 24" Acer and she loves the LG. Plus I felt guilty having a curved Dell U3415W next to her.

I have U3415, I have not plugged it in yet as I'm trying to find a suitable computer desk for it. I believe it will be awesome, less than 4K resolution (easier to drive) and wider FOV. I still plan to do 3 projectors with edge blending but this will probably hold me off until winter hits and I want to work on home projects again.

I'd like to do an edge-blending project at some point as well, especially with LED projectors getting so cheap. It'd be amazing if they got the 4K LED models down to under a grand, can you imagine a triple widescreen setup with that resolution?!
