LG 25UM58-P UltraWide Monitor 25'' 21:9 FHD () IPS Display, sRGB 99%, On-Screen Control, Screen Split 2.0, Game Mode

This is it! Don't look any further...I will save you the time, money, and frustrations. I was coming from owning a 2009 21.5" iMac. Due to some financial situations, I had to sell that iMac and start using my windows laptop. The idea was to have a docking station at home so that I could work hours on the laptop. However, coming from a sharp, crisp, and colorful Apple Display, and trying to find something suitable in a budget was not an easy task... I tried all the best sellers in Amazon:The resolution of the iMac was of 1080p at 21.5".. so, I tried...HP 22cwa (21.5") 1080p IPS (two as dual display)HP 22er (21.5) 1080p IPS (two as dual display)Both of these monitors provided washed colors, greys as blacks, pixelated text, and no color accuracy (two monitors were never the same).Decided I didn't want two monitors, specially if one of them would never be the same as the other...So, I tried:HP 27er 1080p IPSLG 32" 1080p IPS Monitor 32MA68HYIt's all about Distance/Resolution with these. My desk is too slim, so anything bigger then 24" it's just too big. Again, despite the positive reviews, the HP 27er Colors were off. Blacks were Greys, and everything appeared to be washed. Some corner bleeding as well. Design was great, but picture quality was.. meh.. and pixelated.I was loosing hope in finding a decent monitor for under $200. I knew I had to step up the resolution, but 4K was too much. I searched in Amazon for a 2K monitor, and this beauty came up. Judging by the ratio of base to screen that is pictured, it looks like they pictured the 29" model. I got the 25" model, and I couldn't be happier. Text is shard, colors are great thanks to the over 99% sRGB. This is an Apple quality screen. Not surprised, since LG makes a lot of Apple Screens. But this size, resolution, and distance from my face, make it the best monitor out there. Under $200 and a Ultra Wide IPS Display. It really is a great value.

TLDR: If the price is good, and the resolution is good buy it. It's a fantastic piece of HD glass in a box. You'll need speakers, but monitor speakers usually suck.I read the reviews on this device and have wanted it for awhile. The price went upwards past $250 with the shortages. The price dropped to $150 and I got one! It's sitting next to an older 23" Samsung monitor, and I've just about have them synced. Type in windows looks a little fuzzier on the Samsung. On the Mac Samsung looks great, but LG is super sharp! the 23" monitor is taller than the LG, perhaps the next size up would be worth the money. I think I still need 2 monitors but if I get another LG I may stack them (and flip the one on the top. I'll then have 21:18, almost square.I have it connected to my corporate spyware laden Lenovo work computer, and my M1 Mac mini, running Montery. It was totally plug and play on the Mac. EXTRA SOFTWARE NOT NEEDED, colors were pretty accurate (I have a colorimeter, and calibrated it after receipt). The Windows 10 machine needed a little "Jiggle the handle" to make it work correctly.LG control joystick is a thing of genius. (note to LG DON'T CHANGE IT). It is stupid simple to navigate the menus. If I mess up I am angry at myself, not the stupid setup. I don't know yet if I need the software, I downloaded the manual, I'll read it later.

I dont know where I should start from! This is definitely the best monitor Ive ever bought! The Ultrawide is AMAZING! screen split option is awesome! Colours are sharp and great for gaming/office work/Movies, you name it! The only downside for this is it cant be tilted up or down/left or right! But the good thing is YOU CAN MOUNT THIS BEAST UP!
