Reddit mentions of LG 29WK600-W 29" UltraWide 21:9 WFHD (2560 x 1080) IPS Monitor with HDR10 and FreeSync

OK let's use your example. Hang on, this is going to be a long read.

THE BUILD THINKING PROCESS: Have realistic goals for your budget and build the highest resolution to fps ratio you can get for the money with a target of 60fps minimum for at least 75% of the time.

When I make a build I almost always include an adaptive sync monitor (freesync/gsync) in the budget because of exactly your scenario.

When enabled, the average person CANNOT distinguish in the middle of a fight between 130 and 144fps. Now you're going to get that super APM Korean here who will claim they can but on average most people cannot consistently distinguish above even 120hz....Linus tech tips and a bunch of other respected tech youtubers have fleshed this out ad nauseum.

With this in mind, adaptive sync alone can often mitigate loss of frames vs what you actually notice when playing, thus slightly future proofing your needs to upgrade immediately on a new hardware cycle.

When a friend, family member or colleague asks for a pc build the following questions come into play:

1. What specific games or genre of games will you be playing?
   
   
2. I explain to them what adaptive sync is and usually Show them this video. I also tell them I try to target them at 60fps on average as most people CAN notice below 60fps. At my house I have 1080p 75hz, 1440p 144hz/165hz and Ultrawide 3440x1440p at 120hz set ups for me and my own family and explaining to them these are $1100+, $2000+ and $3500+ builds and let them play with them. I also have built budget builds sub $600 but explain that there won't be an adaptive sync monitor in the build.
   
   
3. Then I ask what's their top dollar budget before tax using roughly $1k, $2k and $3.5k increments and tell them what resolution and refresh rate they are buying into so they have upfront expectations of the best case scenario for frames. I also clearly explain that there will be variable fps depending on what is going on in the game and how graphics intensive it is.
   
   In addition, I also explain the difference in most games between med, high and ultra settings and what things you could turn off to increase frames and not notice much difference in overall gameplay (e.g. Turn off Hairworks, Reduce shadows appropriately, at higher resolutions there is little need for higher AA, etc.)
   
   NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT UPGRADE PATH:
   
   According to most recent Steam Hardware Survey the vast majority of gamers are rocking 1050ti/1060 level of cards. These are 1080p medium to high settings cards that can deliver 30-120+ fps depending on game.
   
   I tell them there is ZERO need to upgrade even when new hardware comes out IF you are happy with the current FPS of games you are playing. Seriously. Who gives a shit if all they want to play are esports titles like DOTA, LOL, Overwatch, Rocket League, Fortnite, etc and are getting 60fps+ and frankly typically 100+fps in those titles with those GPUs. Why bother upgrading a 3-5 year old system at all if your gaming experience is good and you are pleased with the current results.
   
   When to upgrade then? When a game comes out that you know you want to play outperforms your current setup and you are willing to pay to meet the performance bar. Depending on title, this MOST of the time doesn't even require anything more than a GPU upgrade if they already have a solid CPU and RAM config.
   
   I'll give you the perfect example. I had a colleague who was playing mostly esports titles with a 1060ti rocking a i5 4690k with 16GBs of DDR3 but now wanted to start playing more graphic intensive games such as Witcher 3 and Monster Hunter World PC at 60fps+ and he thought he had to buy an entire new computer and came to me. He currently has a 144hz 1080p IPS gsync monitor. I said no way man. Don't throw out the baby with the bath water. His rig specific for gaming is still quite playable in most titles. I asked him if he was happy to keep his current playing resolution (1080p gsync) or if MIGHT consider going 1440p in the near future. He said he was sure he wanted to stay at 1080p for now. I suggested he just upgrade to a 2060 for $350ish bucks. He ended up getting a 2060 for a little over $350 and is extremely happy with this upgrade path. Here he thought he was going to have to spend $1500+ and was perfectly happy with the $350 upgrade.
   
   THE BUILD ITSELF:
   
   I take my sweet ass time and tell them it will take at least a week before I'm done building when all parts arrive (even though I can knock out most builds in a few hours) so I have no rush on myself as I build PC's for a relaxing hobby and not a job. Some people build legos or models. I like building PC's.
   
   Long read. I hope it helps save you some money and make a more informed PC building decision.

Bottom monitor

Side monitor is a 24" HP I bought from WalMart.

Stand for the ultrawides is a this one and this one for the side monitor.

I ordered a new desk from Ikea early April but I only got it a week or so ago. It feels like ages but I'm just happy it's all here and it worked like I expected.

Other things:

• Elgato Stream Deck
  
• The Anchor under-desk headphone mount
  
• Deathadder Chroma mouse
  
• Blackwidow Chroma keyboard
  
• Rode microphone stand
  
• Blue Yeti Blackout microphone
  
• Microsoft LifeCam Studio on the 34" - top right
  
  My desktop is a prebuilt Dell with an i7-4790, but I added an SSD, swapped out the 1TB HDD for a 2TB when it crapped out, and added a GTX 1060.

LG 29WK600-W 29" UltraWide 21:9 IPS Monitor with HDR10 and FreeSync (2018)

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078GL93KG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_GdAbBbCSDKBD3

No problem! :]

If you're currently used to 24 inch monitors, a 29 ultrawide at 1080p has a similar PPI and will significantly drop the cost while still looking amazing with the new aspect ratio.
If you're used to a 27 inch 16:9 though, a 29inch UW may look "skinny" or "short", in exchange for the extra length on the sides, while also having a slightly higher pixel density than a 27 1080p

If you're set on 1440p or 34inch, the two basically go hand in hand with each other and high cost :/ I've seen a lot of sales drop them to around $450 before tax though

Heads up it's an ultra wide 29".

Here's a 29 inch LG. Unfortunately Its 2 inches bigger at 29 Inches Ultra-Wide, 1440p, 21:9 Full HD, IPS& its HDR10 compatible, with FreeSync. Its also $229 on amazon

​

If it has to be 27 inch there's this

HP 27q Pavilion 27" QHD Monitor Silver. Its a FreeSync 27 inch IPS. Its 285 on amazon.

​

There's this 32 inch QHD (2560 x 1440) IPS panel with FreeSync up to 75HZ. Its $239.95 on Amazon

​

If 4K is a must there's this.

LG 27UD58-B 27-Inch 4K UHD IPS Monitor with FreeSync . Its $299 on Amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/LG-27UD58-B-27-Inch-Monitor-FreeSync/dp/B01IRQAYPE/ref=sr_1_3?crid=LSC7BJKUSZEC&keywords=27+inch+4k+monitor&qid=1556620049&s=electronics&sprefix=27+inch+4k+%2Celectronics%2C170&sr=1-3

​

These are all moderately priced monitors under $300. There might be better monitors and if you need specific functions they might not be " the best " but for the price I'm pretty confident they are passable unless what you will be using them for requires super low response times or 99.5% color accuracy etc.

Anyone that still wants one Amazon has them for prime members https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B078GL93KG/?tag=pcp0f-20

I'm seriously trying to look back into playing a decent MMO but, the Western Hemisphere is lacking the goods. I'm more exciting to play the Korean MMO's but, I can't speak Korean neither have an identification to prove that I'm Korean.

• What are you looking for?:
  
  Free-To-Play-MMO with update support and great customer service. Any animated or graphic style format. Something like Animal Crossing. No 2D-Side Scrolling
  
  
• What games have you previously played?:
  
  Tales-Runner, Flyff, IMVU, Mabinogi, Elsword, Fiesta Online, Luna Online, Aura Kingdom, Gaia, Second-Life
  
  
• What is your play-style (Casual,Semi-Casual,Hardcore)?:
  
  Casual, Social-Life, Intermediate
  
  
• Any preferred mechanics?:
  
  Marriage System, Offline Mode, Patched Software, Availability To Screen Capture, Customization Resolution,
  
  
• Anything specific you want to exclude?
  
• I hate FPS games. I want a customization control option and a good HUD that I can move around. Where they have in-game sales and in-game and website currency sales. I just want to play an open world game where there's tones of things to do and an active GM Team that communicates with their players in-game without on a specific event. Also, it has not to be on Steam and have their own website with a friendly-virus free software for me to download. Another way is how Nexon has their software where I can download it on a different software rather than download the (.exe) file. I want no Rune-scape. I just want a computer friendly game. I seriously don't want an old game to play as long as the community is active and events are always up and running. I'm willing to pay for the game but, I'm not willing to pay for crappy subscriptions.

Are all Freesync monitors compatible with Nvidia GPU's with G Sync?

I have an LG monitor that has Freesync and it works with my RX 570. I want to upgrade to a 2060 Super. Will I be able to enable G Sync?

My LG Monitor

Those are great suggestions! But I'm willing to step back from the specs if we can go a little cheaper. I've found a few (One, Two, Three) 1080p monitors but I figured with the 25UM58-P priced at $150 there should definitely be a 1440p version for just a bit more. Is that too much to expect?

I do not think the tower is worth $550, and the monitor appears to just be an older model of a comparable one that appears to be $200 brand new on Amazon, so that $200 for the monitor alone isn't particularly worth it. Being a little generous with a quick and rough valuation of the individual parts based on what I think typical "market value" is on eBay or somewhere like /r/hardwareswap:

• Maximus VII Hero - $100
  
• i5-4690k - $80
  
• 240GB SSD - $30
  
• 16GB DDR3 - $50
  
• RX 570 4GB - $80
  
• RGB Fans 120mm 3 Pack - $30?
  
• 500W PSU - $40
  
• NZXT S340 (Elite?) - $80
  
• Wifi/BT - $10?
  
  That comes to about $500 worth in parts, which is a fair bit below the asking $550. That said, a better and newer system could probably be built with a mix of new and used parts. A Ryzen 5 1600 with a motherboard and 16GB of DDR4 should cost about the same as that used i5, used motherboard, and DDR3, and till have a little more longevity. Adding a little bit of money (maybe about $20) to pick up a used RX 580 8GB or something would be a decent improvement for relatively little cost. Cases are very much a personal preference thing, so spending $80 on a case may be more than necessary.

This one is only 75Hz and 1080 but I just picked this one up for $189 on Amazon.

Yea that sounds about right lol

Personally, when I used a laptop I loved the LG 29" Ultrawides. Great colors, not "too big" to be used with a laptop, and very affordable for a 21:9 IPS monitor.

1080p will also be easier for your laptop to run, and it doesnt look bad at all on a 29".

34" 1080p is a little rough with low pixel density outside of games.

Alternatively, LG has some 34 1440p 60hz monitors that aren't toooooo expensive, but they're still in the $400-$500 range I believe

Hi! I recently built my pc and I'm looking for a monitor to upgrade my really old one

This is my gpu https://www.newegg.com/powercolor-radeon-rx-580-axrx-580-8gbd5-3dhdv2-oc/p/N82E16814131720
I was currently considering two options, but would be open to others as well.

https://www.amazon.com/LG-29WK600-W-29-UltraWide-21/dp/B078GL93KG
I think ultrawides look pretty nice and was trying to find a reasonable one. Ideally, I think I'd like a curved one, but I didn't see one in my price range (trying to keep it around $250 or lower).

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-27-lcd-qhd-space-monitor-black/6321304.p?skuId=6321304
This one seems like a nice deal at $250 (plus $50 gc). I know some of the specs are better than what my gpu could pull off in game, but could i take advantage of it in my normal pc use? and the higher refresh rate would be nice, no?

I think both of those can take advantage of freesync too. Any thoughts? I'm open to other suggestions as well. Thanks! The LG is at microcenter for $200, so if you factor in the giftcard, they're kind of the same price. I also saw some people prefer 24'' to 27''?

It's an LG 29WK600 and it was $190 when I got it.

For music production, I'd recommend an ultrawide 21:9 panel so you can visualize timelines better.

What's cheaper for you?

There is a good deal on this LG 34um69gb. 75hz refresh, IPS, and freesync are some nice bonuses.

if you want cheaper, you can go with this one.

Great guide, i was looking for a 29 ultra wide mostly for gaming, and i bought the LG 29WK600 on Amazon since it was only 199 euro, glad to see it is the best choice in this guide too, can't wait to try it out, is anyone using it?

Compared to many other ultrawides, this LG and its brothers are about as "budget" as it gets... It doesn't have dvi, but does have display port.
