Have some heat just for the fond memories of a real widescreen monitor ;-)

No thanks, I'll stick with my multi monitor setup.

Intranix is right. I think people are underestimating just how "short" this monitor will look.

The Dimensions without a stand are 609x287x55. That'll be Millimetres, so the screen is actually not even as tall as the standard 30cm ruler most of used in school.

My current main screen is a 25" Dell 1440p, and the screen is about 310mm tall (without the bezel), and I feel like that's what people will have in their mind when they think 25".

I'm not taking away from it, I just don't want anyone to have buyers remorse when it turns up.

if it helps, the gadget show did some analysis on curved and ultra hd tv, the result was curved wasn't as important and the effect wore off sooner. you could probably view it yourself i think it was john bentley.

have the 29 inch version and it is a fantastic monitor.

I've got this and it's grand. VESA mount on the back (Brix).

No speakers though

I really fancy buying this monitor, anyone bought one?

Also think my graphics card is DVi so I would have to buy dvi to hdmi converter, does this impact the image quality at all?

Appreciate any feedback please!

25" ultra wide will be quite small dimension wise, will be like using a 21" 16:9

Thank you for confirming....I meant adaptor just got the terminology wrong.

Searched out a few reviews and stand seems to be substandard, 2 screws on 25" or 4 screws on 29", yellow bleed in bottom corners although image quality is suppose to be great?

Might order from Amazon for delivery on Sunday @ £156.83

LG (Loada Garbage) products are ok if you don't want product longevity and good after sales. Been stung by this firm a couple of times. It does look nice though but so did the one I bought that lasted 2 weeks out of warranty and when I contacted them I was told tough.

Don't get me wrong, I knew what you meant too, I was just highlighting that there is no conversion process involved, hence no loss in quality, for the benefit of anyone else that may be reading. As far as this monitor is concerned, I personally see no use for ultra widescreen for everyday usage. It's more to awkward to view up close. But this is a good price if it's something you're interested in.

Curved monitors do make sense, especially if you have several ultrawides together.

There is only one person viewing the image, so angle isn't an issue. It also helps with immersion for peripheral vision.

They have these in our union office. Personally, I think they're horrible. They're a really unpleasant size, I find. Ultra wide makes sense for a lot of purposes, but when the screen's as short as this, it doesn't really make sense for anything. You're better with a pair of cheap 22" 16:10 panels.

Voted cold by mistake :disappointed:

Great monitor, I have two! I know it's not much help but they were £145 when I bought them from ebuyer in November.

got to agree. the gadget show info is relevant for TVs, it's an absolute waste of time. But for large wide monitors, the effect is useful. I'd prefer a setup as shown in one of the product shots though, with this flat screen in middle and two 19" 4:3's either side at 45 degrees (or equal height 16:10's)

These 25" ultrawide monitors are smaller than you might expect and £145-160 is the normal price range they fall into. Whoever voted hot needs to do some research first.

Just curious... what game is shown on the monitor? PC?

nice deal

But for monitors theres only 1 person sitting directly in front of it?

nice deal

very small, the equivalent at 1080p 16:9 is 20", even the 29" equivalent would be about 23"@ 16:9 1080p

No thanks, I'll stick with my multi monitor setup.

I am not really a fan of ultrawide displays and one of this size would be largely unusable IMO. A short time ago I went and looked at a 24" curved 16:9 FullHD Samsung monitor and I was surprised at how small it looked and I think an ultrawide 25" curved would look very cramped IMO. BTW I am not all that familiar with large panels so it's not a case of it all just being relative.

I wouldn't buy a 25" 21:9 monitor, it's going to be too small.

Smallest I've been looking at is a 34" but they are a bit pricey atm.

A 34" replaces the need for a dual monitor set up.

There's one possible exception: all LCD panels suffer from poor viewing angles. IPS, TN, VA, none of them have a stable picture. Especially consumer panels.

When you get to very large sizes (or sit very close) the problem can be bad enough that the edges of the monitor have colour/gamma shifting relative to the centre. You are viewing the centre of the screen at exactly 90deg but the left and right edges of the panel are viewed slightly off-angle. With large/wide displays it's a huge problem for professionals doing colour-critical work.

With a large, wide monitor (eg 34" ultra wide), a slight curve could potentially mean that the entire surface of the monitor is perpendicular to a central viewer. Maybe not perfectly perpendicular (depends on the curve radius and viewing distance) but certainly closer than a flat display.

It's not an advantage i've read in relation to curved displays but the theory holds up.

I just got the 34um67 and I wouldn't get it any smaller tbh I checked the 29" and found that to be small so to me this would be very small but this is a very good price

I'll agree for Televisions. But for a personal gaming monitor for gaming it's AMAZING. With a game POV slider that you can most PC games have you can have the POV match the curve in a very satisfying way.

Sorry lol.... still nobody knows what pc game is on the screen of the monitor in the photo? It's digging at me know. Need to know ha ha

To compare display sizes in terms of height and length vs aspect ratio and diagonal inches, check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_size

I was surprised by how little extra width ultrawide monitors have to offer.

I use a 50" 4ktv on my desk, can get any custom made (NVidia only) resolutions and as an example a 1440p screen unscaled will be 36" in the middle of the screen or 33" at 2560x1080. I love my custom made resolution at 3840x1440(46" [email protected]:9 not 21:9) for single games and around 3200x1200(24:9) for MP to be more in control visually at a short distance and help with the FPS

Best 2 x Monitor set up ever had, one went down and Sony wanted £630 for a new tube, so
it went in the bin, had 4 x a4 Quark concepts/projects up at one time and was just superb to
use all day/night with no headaches or heat burn from the screens!!!

I got that 27" one the other day for £149 & it seems pretty good, not sure I could go back to 25" now

​You had to send it 3 to 4 times and there still is an occasional problem. .. says a lot about quality.

It's quite a lot shorter than a normal 24" monitor. But I guess it's expected.

Does not have USB? not good, that just won't do
