[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Here's my take on the 29WK600. It has 29" IPS displays with a resolution of 2560 by 1080. It has two HDMI ports and one DisplayPort. It also supports HDR10 for High Dynamic Range gaming and streaming (HDR). I use them for daily tasks like email, browsing, and reading. My kids prefer playing games on this monitor over their previous one. It has a simple speaker. I didn't like the included stand because it is very short and has a very basic tilting mechanism.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is not only my first LG monitor but also the largest monitor I have owned as well as my first, widescreen. I absolutely cannot believe that I can do what was taking me two separate monitors on just this one monitor. This was the main point, or desire, in my wanting to own a widescreen monitor was to be able to condense and not have to use multiple monitors. So this also means using less electricity as well.
I did not know until after the fact that it has built-in speakers. The sound quality is excellent and does not distort at higher volumes. I was using a wireless Bluetooth speaker but I have switched over to using LG's internal speaker on this monitor which also uses this technology called Waves MaxxAudio.
The clarity for someone with less than 20/20 vision is impeccable. There are many settings options such as Custom, Cinema, Vivid, HDR Effect, FPS, RTS, and a reader mode (that has that sort of tablet sepia color to it). I will generally use the Custom feature. I like the Super Resolution+ and Black Level settings as it makes the text stand out better. Under Settings, Picture, Color Adjust, there is a Gamma feature with four separate modes. Choosing Mode 3 enhances text clarity even further and is what I am currently using.
Other features include the ability to tilt the monitor forward and back. It does not have an option to raise the height of the monitor and if I had to list any cons that are literally the only one I can think of. On the rear of the monitor where the ports are there is a USB-C port which could be used to charge any devices that use a USB-C charge cable.
This is definitely a monitor I would recommend for anyone to use and I mean that especially if you are working from home or for any businesses seeking to upgrade their current monitors for their employees. This is such a major space saver being able to use this one monitor and it looks so much cleaner as well.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter decided to replace the monitor in her home office with a widescreen. I thought the old one was fine, but I don't use the computer nearly as much as she does, so... Well, this new LG monitor is a huge improvement. I didn't realize how inferior the old one was until I started using this one. The screen on this monitor is so much bigger, brighter and clearer - things that I didn't appreciate until now. I'm so glad she did this upgrade!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The LG UltraWide 29WQ600-W Monitor has the most bright and vivid colors. It is the largest monitor that I have ever used at my office. I can put several programs on the screed at once so that I don't have to toggle between them. It is sharp and refreshing looking. I absolutely love it and you will too. I have already recommended this to friends and family.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It has been around a month since I own the monitor; the quality of the image is good, the refresh rate is reasonable, and the sound of the speakers is terrible, so better to connect your computer or any other device to another sound system.
If I could change one thing, it would have probably gotten a bigger one. A 29" ultrawide is vertically challenged. I you are buying one to fill your view at a 3' distance, this size just doesn't do it.
Other than that, the monitor performs well enough. It was new and in good condition. Build quality is solid. This is a matte display so contrast could be better, but this is the only option for me given the glare situation in my room.

I've had this monitor for less than a month to replace another manufacturers monitor just three years old. The problem is that when I bought a 55 inch LG C1 television the desktop computer monitor I was using was not as vibrant and colorful as my TV! It should be since I sit so close! The choice was clear, I had to have an LG monitor with HDR capability.
