Unlike a lot of people talking garbage here I actually have this exact monitor and have had it for a year. Great for gaming, working (text and photo/video) and movies, just a great all rounder and I came to the conclusion of buying this monitor after countless hours of pros/cons comparisons. It has never let me down and is a better option than two monitors for a normal home setup. 60/75Hz don't bother me for gaming (racing, simulators, fps, you name it), just get a better stand (£20-30) as rhe original one is rubbish.

£169.97.......

Pc world are the worst they post these deals. Have 0 in stock anywhere then they go back to full price and amazing all the shops are stocked up again

Just set up mine. And it is WIDE!
But I knew that having played with it at my mate's after he got his a few months ago. Which is when I resolved I needed a new screen. Couldn't justify paying over £200, but at that sale price it would be rude not to get one.

powered mine up today - very nice and speakers are decent for inbuilt.

Amazon have it up again for sale, albeit with a wait to receive it

I bought one of these from Currys Oldham, yesterday. They are not showing any on stock as the only ones left are on display.

If you're interested, go into your local store and they will check for you. Stores can see stock on the system that is 'display' stock, which the internet portal cannot.

haha winner

Anyone found stock in london

mine arrived today and the box is bloody huge.

anyone in the HOW DO I EXPLAIN IT TO THE MRS crew?

I was baffled too, but I guess he means your eyes darting further left and right than on a conventional screen.

I also just bought this on Saturday for £250 from currys! Hopefully I can go back today to get the difference refunded. Thanks OP!!!

It was the price of £169.97 but they might reduce it more if you ask the manger since the display model may have mark or wear and tear

Out of interest was the display one reduced in price at all?

Slight warning about this monitor the stand sucks. Even typing is enough to make this monitor jiggle up and down at the two sides and I've found no way of stopping it par from wall mounting.

Decent price but won't go anywhere near LG. They don't know how to quality control.

Personally prefer Samsung panels especially at the low end/budget range for gaming etc.

I managed to get this for £169.97 yesterday from Amazon on Prime deal. Bought it for my son, but now wish I had got two!
Hot deal, if you can find it.

Great monitor (I've got one) ....but , close up FPS is like watching tennis

Thanks just went in Currys Highgate Birmingham they refunded me the price difference :smile: They got one display stock that they are selling if anyone is interested

does it handle ok for games consoles? id imagine it would be great for some local multiplayer gaming being ultrawide. does the monitor scale to fit the screen e.g. switch, ps4 etc...

Gutted I missed this one.

Anyone got a similar deal?

1080..........

Would this be any good for a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
I don't game, just looking for a 27" or 29" monitor less than £200 that doesn't give headaches

- really like the Dell 27" U2715H but too much for me right now.

Q: How do old FPS games (UT99) released for 4:3 monitors work at 21:9??! Would they have to run in a vertical letterbox or is their another way?

Showing stock at Ruislip.

I got used from amazon , I wish had earlier! Great monitor for developers!

OOS Leeds, Manchester, London (out of curiosity)
Quite annoying they can't tell you where it is in stock to see if worth driving to.

Maybe the total response? Pixel + input delay.

14ms response .....

Shame it's only 95.81 Pixels per inch, rather than the 25 inch version at 111.14 PPI, ideally you want over 100 PPI for a nice experience at a desk.

I bought this from Currys on Sunday they had one left and a display one too (Bare in mind some stores have display models but won't show online so you may be able to get the display one off them) do you think they'll refund me the price difference as I paid £249.97

I have this monitor. It is great for work (looking at long lines of code).

These have a totally unacceptable level of light bleed. Took me three months to get my money back from LG under the threat of legal action after two failed "repairs" which did nothing. Pot luck if you get one with or without.

Read up online, you'll see just how widespread the problem is. I literally wouldn't have one if they gave it to me for free.

So apart from being the wrong resolution, wrong speed and none anywhere near where you live, you nearly bought it? Ha I was/am exactly the same as me.

This is too tempting. Mmmmuuuussttt resists....

What is the equivalent 'normal' size monitor for this?

I'm tempted by an ultrawide, I have a 21" 16:9 right now, which is perfect size for the desk.

Amazon has price matched:

Shame it's (L)oada (G)arbage, have had nothing but trouble with this brand over the years. Good price though.

POst the deal! Sivthasan

Same price on Amazon!!

I can imagine this is great for media creators or for work purposes but for gamers, I'd recommend 144hz 16:9 over 60hz 21:9. I recently bought a BenQ 27 inch 144hz and the step up from 60 is huge, even when you machine can't produce the full 144fps, there is still the benefit of zero screen tearing even without vsync, freesync, gsync etc.

Just rang Curry's he couldnt find one on the system in any store within 50 miles of Worcestershire

Not any near Portsmouth/Hampshire either

No stock in or near Leicester

Can't find any stock Cambridgeshire or London. May be a wild goose chase to be honest. Great price though!

Was just looking at this monitor on Amazon Prime day and was close to pulling the trigger.

This would be a temporary monitor before I do a full new PC build, as my current daily Macbook Pro from 2011 cannot push out the resolution that I will be upgrading computer to and my current external monitor is ghosting and has image burn severely.

Would anyone suggest anything other than this for a 29" to 32" temporary cheap monitor???

My max output resolution on my old Macbook Pro is 2560 by 1600 I think.

Thanks OP, potentially saving me £40.02 if I purchase.

EDIT***
Cant find stock anywhere near me anyway, oh well.

Cheers

Shame that there is hardly any stock...

I almost got this but not 1440p or 144Hz. It did however look sweet but its collection only and the nearest was 60 miles away :disappointed:
Still a good price for what you get :smile:
