    would make a great second monitor or non-gaming monitor.

  • justcallmeboss on 29/05/2016 - 18:36

    Would this work fine with a 1080x1920 laptop?

    • SilentBob on 29/05/2016 - 19:18

      Only if the graphics chip can display out the 2560x 1080 resolution of the monitor I'm assuming.

    • AnneFagit on 29/05/2016 - 19:21

      That depends. The premise of the question (that the screen resolution of the laptop has something to do with its compatibility) is irrelevant.

      Would this be compatible? Given your drivers are up to date and your laptop is running as it should then yes, it should.
      Would this work fine, functionally? Yes, it will function.

      • NickFritz on 29/05/2016 - 20:34

        Um.. this won't work from a HDMI output on some lower end laptops. Couldn't get mine working on a few brand new ones with intel graphics.

      • justcallmeboss on 29/05/2016 - 22:04

        Thanks for the reply… Drivers are updated.

    I've owned one of these.. ended up selling it later on gumtree. The vertical height feels very small.

    • BilboBargains on 29/05/2016 - 19:00

      Agreed , a mate owns this - its height is way to small…. i do not suggest this as a good computer monitor.

    Check MSY clearance price list they got 5 monitors (Victoria) "much" cheaper than this one, a real bargain!

    Edit: they also got some 27" for around $250.

  • rmh on 29/05/2016 - 18:58

    I've got the 29" and it's the same height as a 24" widescreen. Although this is really cheap I would encourage anyone considering one to measure up the screen dimensions to make sure you will be aware of how small it will seem. I personally wouldn't want smaller than the 29" as I'm use to the 24" normal widescreen screens.

    For example - http://i.imgur.com/Prrbv6E.jpg
    This is the 25" ultrawide next to a 24" widescreen

  • Conka on 29/05/2016 - 19:32

    I purchased a few weeks back. Great for BF4 (or other games with 2560 support), Visio, Excel (with wide sheets)

    Prefer my regular 24" 1080p for browsing, word docs and movies.

    I'd buy again.

    I grabbed a couple of Samsung curved screens cheap, they seem to be throw away prices atm. Don't cheap out too much on a monitor, you WILL regret it.

    if you buy this screen. think of it as 2 17's stuck together.

    i ahve one and i use it for that reason

  • bjdchwr on 29/05/2016 - 19:57

    Beaware of this model or these resolution of screen under Mac OSX.

    I have a mid-2012 RMBP and plugged this screen to my laptop as additional monitor - The laptop won't detect.

    I hooked this screen to a Hackintosh (well I have a more powerful PC for video rendering), it gave me reboot each time I plugged it in.

    By far, it works perfectly under Windows 10.

    I understand there are some other 3rd party software can make this LG screen work with Mac OSX but they are not quick win. I would suggest either 19201080 or 25601440 resolution screen for additional monitor for Mac users - they are simply less hassle!

    This screen is individually calibrated and the color looks really great!

    • LeftHandSeat on 29/05/2016 - 21:52

      My brother has two of these running off a single 2014 Mac Mini fine with no 3rd party fixes.
      Had initial problems getting it to detect that were related to dodgy cables. Bought a quality 4K MiniDP to HDMI cable, and all problems solved.

    • epicttiimm on 29/05/2016 - 22:37

      I had to use Switchresx to get 2560x1080 working properly on my MacBook Air 2013. Other than that, great monitor!

    • hton2 on 30/05/2016 - 00:59

      no problems from my 2015 rmbps

        • gimli on 30/05/2016 - 14:23

          Yep

          The season will last longer with this monitor.

  • juki on 29/05/2016 - 23:01

    isn't this the normal price i've been waiting for this to come down more ( or the 29" one to go down)
    it's a good format for working

  • Gnosh on 30/05/2016 - 07:10

    This is a great monitor. However I have the 29", I came from a 27" so the 25" just seemed way too small vertically for me.

    It takes a little while to get used to but I find it trumps a 2 screen set up.

  • packeteer on 30/05/2016 - 08:25

    I don't know why this is considered a bargain, I bought the same monitor from umart earlier this year for the same price

  • packeteer on 30/05/2016 - 08:26

    fwiw, I use it connected via HDMI to my 2015 13" mbp

  • ubcool on 30/05/2016 - 09:35

    Yeah best go look at one before you buy as they sound a lot bigger than they actually are.

  • packeteer on 30/05/2016 - 09:40

    I love mine for work, but yeah, they're only about 14" tall

    • packeteer on 30/05/2016 - 11:31

      correction, it's about 25cm tall ie. less than A4 size

      • CyberMurning on 30/05/2016 - 17:41

        The height is Less than a4 of the long side or short side?

  • Wibbi on 30/05/2016 - 09:48

    OP how are the colours of this monitor compared to your macbook? Is it easy to colour match?

      colors match fine.

    • Wibbi on 30/05/2016 - 16:13

      thanks guys!

  • bobdobal on 31/05/2016 - 11:00

    Do these, or monitors in general, come with HDMI cable included. Or will I need to buy one separately?

  • Herbert on 31/05/2016 - 20:35

    I bought the 29 inch one. When watching TV shows, the video window is smaller than the one on 24 inch monitor because of the ultrawide aspect ratio.

    Movies are much better. Vivid colour and no black bars.

    I would not recommend to buy from MSY unless you are 100% sure this monitor is right for you as they don't allow change of mind returns.
