My eyes are quite sensitive to displays that aren’t color-accurate - specifically because I’ve been spoiled with Apple’s Retina Display and Samsung’s Super AMOLED technology for the past ten years.Īs much as these brands hold up on their own, LG lives up to its billing of having the best displays out there with its true and unparalleled IPS technology.

Other than those power-saving features, there are also the Reader Mode feature plus Flicker-Safe technology for reducing eye strain and fatigue when reading or consuming content in the dark. What makes it more efficient is its “Smart Energy Saving” that adjusts brightness depending on how bright or dark the elements are on the screen. It can also turn off automatically when not in use. This means you don’t have to worry even if it’s turned on for several days or even weeks. If you worry about power consumption, the LG UltraWide monitor has an A+ Energy Star rating. Unlike other high-end LG monitors like the UltraFine and UltraFine Ergo with a lot of ports including USB-C Thunderbolt and DisplayPort, LG’s 29WP500 only has two HDMI ports and an extra Audio Out port for any user to be able to plug in a set of earphones, headphones, sound bars or even speakers that still rely with a 3.5mm audio jack.īut if you want to cut all those pesky wiring, LG has built-in speakers with audio levels that can be controlled through its joystick below while being viewed through its OSD (On-Screen Display). Annoying glossiness is something I encounter with my old monitor as well as my MacBook. To make it even better, it has an Anti-Glare Matte coating that’s helpful when your workstation is placed directly parallel to your windows. This coating saved my eyes from seeing the reflection of my horrible face #SelfPity Meanwhile, the bottom or chin part is still “thicc”, making sure there’s enough room for the LG logo, joystick, and other set of components.
What makes this different from its predecessor (the LG 29WL500 from 2019) is that, it now has slimmer 3-virtually borderless bezels evident on its top part and sides. Almost Borderless DesignĪs the model name implies, the monitor has a display size of 29-inches that’s measured diagonally.
Stay tuned as I’ll tell you why it’s truly a “bang for your buck” monitor. But as LG announced their newest 2021 monitor lineup, I honestly got excited to try one out - and they reached out to offer me their newest LG 29WP500 UltraWide monitor.Īfter weeks of waiting, I finally had one to test out. It’s been a while ever since I reviewed one - and that was a monitor I’ve purchased due aid in my duties as GadgetMatch’s Associate Creative Producer.

There are also manuals, a warranty card, and a CD for all software and driver essentials. Other than the monitor, it also includes the power adapter and HDMI cable.
