Surprisingly Good Ultra-Wide…

I have owned several ultra-wide monitors and this LG 34WL750-B ultra-wide monitor is extremely good. The first thing that one will notice is how easy it is to unbox and setup this monitor. No tools are required. Simply take out the base, attach it to the upright column using the hand twist bolt on the base. Next, carefully take out the display, align it with the two tabs on the top of the upright column and click it into place. Assembly is complete. Attach the monitor with an HDMI cable or display port cable to your computer and you are ready to configure the display. The display comes with a CD, but not much useful content on the CD. To get the correct configuration I had to go to the LG website and download the On Screen Control software, which apparently contains the drivers as well. After my computer restarted I was able to select 3440x1440 for the resolution. This monitor can go to 60 Hz, however I was only able to select up to 50 Hz, most likely due to the video capabilities of my computer. However, the quality at 50 Hz is quite good. I originally used the HDMI cable that came with the monitor, but the monitor complained that the cable being used may cause problems, so I switched to an Ultra HTMI cable and the message went away. Something that really surprised me about this monitor is that the specifications say that it does not have built-in speakers, where in fact it does have some very nice sounding, downward facing speakers. I discovered this When I plaid a video file expecting the sound to come out of the computer speakers and was pleasantly surprised by nice quality sound coming out of the monitor. The audio is being delivered through the HDMI cable to the monitor. I definitely give this monitor two thumbs up.
As for how I use the monitor and why I need an ultra-wide monitor, I am a programmer and my development environment requires a number of windows and sidebars to be open to effectively work. This monitor gives me the screen real estate to efficiently work. In fact at my work everyone has now added an ultra-wide monitor to their systems. We now buy ultra-wide monitors for our customers and are building our software to allow our customers to use the full capabilities of an ultra-wide monitor. These LG monitors are perfect with their non-glare screens, sharp images, and ability to be divided into multiple regions using the LG On Screen soft
In full disclosure, I received this monitor at a discounted price in exchange for providing a review
