You're really buying into the 4K hype, TV manufacturers absolutely love you. You really need to understand that 4K alone is no measure of quality let alone the fact this is an aspect ratio that may not translate into 4K as you k ow it.

What planet are you on? Decent spec tv's have input lag of over 25ms, and that's considered good, so 20% of that figure would be more than adequate

got one of these and it's great. the speakers are good enough for general gaming and background music. I paid 140 used so I suppose 240 for new is pretty good

After reading into 21:9 id prefer this over 4k, well until you can get 21:9 monitors at 4k or above

1440p ultrawide > 4k 16:9
4k is better for some productivity tasks, but for gaming and movies it is very one sided.
plus 1440p ultra wide is far easier to drive.

No need 4k. Super black. Free sinc. Good price.

The thought of ultra-wide gaming really appeals to me. Such a shame the 25" version doesn't have speakers, though. Yes, I know they're probably sub-par compared to dedicated speakers, but my ears aren't the best anyway, and I like a clutter-free desk. 29" seems far too big for most scenarios.

Its only the same as a 24" 16:9 in height. I have a Samsung S34E790c (34") and coming from a 23" screen it was fine.
Yeh i agree. The biggest appeal for 21:9 is immersion. If you want something for productivity a higher res and so a larger workspace is preferred.

Been same price at Currys for a while now, and actually in stock. got mine from there a few days ago. Really nice monitor.

I have the 25" version of this monitor and it is pretty nice. I find a surprising amount of games support the aspect ratio and I cant see myself going back to 16:9/10 again after using an ultra wide. Be warned that the pictures are misleading for these LG panels though, the bezel is far thicker on the sides and top compared to the photos. You are buying a budget panel though and for the price you cant really complain.

Is it worth gettting an ultrawide for day to day stuff, for a home office
or is only really good for the gamers and movies etc.?

It's a bit like having two 17" 1280x1080 square monitors put together. For home office I think I'd prefer to have 2x 23" 1080p monitors or 3x if you do a lot of spreadsheet work.

I got the LG 29UM55 after seeing it on here last year and I'm very happy with it. Not sure how it is for gaming especially but for everyday use and work it's extremely handy to have say a browser and word/excel doc up together without feeling restricted in any way.

You do realise input line and response times are different things, right? Response times is what causes ghosting... Input lag is the time it takes for the data to travel from the gpu and be displayed by the monitor....
